2014-06-26 ISRAEL: Physicians for Human Rights-Israel protest the government intention to pass a bill that would purport to legalize forced feeding of hunger strikers

===2014-06-26 ISRAEL: Physicians for Human Rights-Israel protest the government intention to pass a bill that would purport to legalize forced feeding of hunger strikers===
The Israeli Medical Association takes a staunch stand against the government in this matter. It issued a statement that it would not defend any Israeli doctor that would collude in forced feeding, if prosecuted under international law, which considers forced feeding torture.
The poster shows Prime Minister Netanyahu and Health Minister German force feeding Gandhi/
The position of Israeli medical community stands in stark contrast with the conduct of physicians and psychologists in the US, which collude with the US government in various tpyes of torture/

===2014-06-26 US: Judicial corruption is a central cause of the banking fraud crisis===
The new article, linked below, presents only a small part of the evidence for the central role of judicial corruption in the banking crisis in the US.
The Human Rights Alert (NGO) submission to the UN Human Rights Council was incorporated into the UN Human Rights Report on the US (2010) with the note "corruption of the courts and the legal profession... in California". Evidence of fraud and corruption in the California courts in cases involving the banks, particularly Countrywide and Bank of America, and refusal of the US federal agencies to take action in view of credible evidence of judicial corruption, was a key part in the report.
