"Roman Abramovich to Donate Millions of Dollars to Yad Vashem" "Abramovich,
an ally of Vladimir Putin, has handed 'stewardship' of the Chelsea
soccer club to its trustees amid pressure to sanction him over Russia's
invasion of Ukraine." (Haaretz 27. november 2022)
Eierskapet i Chelsea er overført til en stiftelse.
Og så gir han "flere titalls millioner dollar" til Yad Vashem, Holocaust-senteret i Jerusalem.
Roman Abramovich er oligarken som stjal til seg russisk olje- og aluminumsindustri ("shares for loans").
Og som kjøpte seg "Golden Visa" i UK og investere i fotball og eiendommer der.
Da det gylne visum skulle fornyes i UK fikk han problemer med å forklare hvor hans verdier kom fra.
Han søkte da om opphold i Sveits ... men de ville ikke ha ham.
Så Romanovich havnet da i Israel.
Under FinCen-avsløringene viste det seg at han var største donor til Elad, en "settler-organisasjon" som er kjent bl-a. for å drive ut palestinere fra eiendommer i Øst-Jerusalem.
Nå har altså Romanovich gitt store donasjoner til Yad Vashem.
Der er nå den tidligere"settler-leder" Dani Dayan sjef.
Netanyahu ville egentlig ha Effi Eitam som leder der ... men hans uttalelser om palestinerne ble for grove. Og Dani Dayan ble egentlig utnevnt som ambassadør til Brasil ... men Brasil ville ikke ha ham.
Istedet ble han leder for Yad-Vashem ... og en vurdering er da at hans "settler-bakgrunn" betyr politisering av Yad-Vashem.
- Og nå har jo Romanovich sørget for mer penger i retning "settlerne".
Romanovich har store verdier ... herunder verdens største private jetfly.
Det flyet ble for to dager siden fløyet fra Sør-Europa til Russland.
Slik blir stjålne verdier fra det russiske folk brukt av oligarkene.
DET skulle avisene skrive om .
EDIT 1:

EDIT 2: 3. mars i The Guardian Artikkel i The Guardian dokumenterer hvordan Abramovich ved korrupsjon i Russland fikk eierskap til oljeselskapet Sibneft. Det oppsiktsvekkende er at dette har vært kjent informasjon i UK siden 2012.

Etter Amnestys rapport ... her er en vurdering av den erfarne israelske politiker Shaul Arieli:
"Israel Eyes a New Kind of Regime in the West Bank, but the World Sees Apartheid"
"Israel doesn’t see the enclave as occupied, and it doesn’t see it as ‘liberated territory.’ The West Bank is thus abandoned". (Haaretz 22. februar 2022)

Israels retorikk om status for Vestbredden ... som Ariely angir den ... og bruddene på folkeretten ... gir dette assosiasjoner til dagens krise Ukraina/Russland?
Opinion | Israel Eyes a New Kind of Regime in the West Bank, but the World Sees Apartheid
Israel doesn’t see the enclave as occupied, and it doesn’t see it as ‘liberated territory.’ The West Bank is thus abandoned

At
the beginning of February, Amnesty International released a report
stating that Israel maintains a system of apartheid against the
Palestinians. This document could turn out to be a trailer for the UN
Human Rights Council's commission of inquiry that was established
following the fighting with Gaza last May. The commission's report is
due out in June and could claim that Israel is an apartheid state. Israel’s government must lift this threat by implementing a clear policy on the West Bank.
The
previous government’s confused policy on the territory’s future is no
longer acceptable to most of the international community. That policy
sees things the following way: We won’t annex but we also won’t set up a
Palestinian state, we’ll maintain the status quo but we’ll expand the
settlements, we’ll enforce the law but not against Jewish rioters and
illegal outposts, we’ll talk with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas
but only about what we want to, we’ll keep Jerusalem unified but only
invest in Jewish neighborhoods.
Since
1967, Israel has been engaged in a war of rhetoric based on whitewashed
terms declaring that the occupied territories are “liberated” or “held”
territories. In doing so, Israel tries to justify its actions that run
contrary to international law and resolutions.
Israel’s
governments have always been aware of the West Bank’s legal status. A
top secret cable from the Foreign Ministry to Yitzhak Rabin in 1968,
when he was the Israeli ambassador to Washington, stated that “our
consistent line was and remains to avoid debating with foreigners the
situation in the territories on the basis of the Geneva Accords… Our
explicit recognition of the Accords’ applicability will put a spotlight
on serious problems … regarding house demolitions, expulsions,
settlement and so on.”
This
understanding never stopped Labor governments from launching the
settlement enterprise, which violates the principle of temporality of
the laws of occupation.
Such leaders cite security needs and say the territories are being
“held” until a diplomatic agreement is reached. As Rabin wrote in his
1979 book “The Rabin Memoirs,” the government adopted a clear security
policy: where to settle and where not to.
The
Supreme Court accepted the security argument. “I am aware of the fact
that we are talking about a civilian population… Against this
background, I accept the argument of Gen. Orli that a civilian presence
in these sensitive points is the necessary solution,” Justice Miriam
Ben-Porat wrote in 1978.
At
the same time, the government cooperated with the messianic-nationalist
settlement movement. On September 27, 1967, Col. Shlomo Gazit wrote to
the chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces. The letter referred to
the “Gush Etzion outpost.” It stated: “As a cover for the state’s needs,
the outpost of religious youth in Gush Etzion will be registered as a
military Nahal outpost. Instructions in this regard will be given to the
settlers.”
The
High Court of Justice sought to end this mendacious policy in the Elon
Moreh case of 1979, in which it changed tack and ruled that privately
owned Palestinian land cannot be seized to establish settlements based
on the argument of security needs. The court also prioritized the rule
of law over “divine promise.” “This petition provides an eternal answer
to the argument that seeks to interpret the historical biblical promise
to the Jewish people as one overriding property rights,” Justice Moshe
Landoy wrote.

Over
the decades, the international community has rejected Israeli policy,
culminating in UN Resolution 2334 of December 23, 2016 stating that the
Israeli settlements established on Palestinian lands occupied since
1967, including East Jerusalem, have no legal standing and breach
international law.
The
Security Council has also addressed the settlement enterprise’s aims
and means in achieving them. In Resolution 2334, it condemned “all
measures aimed at altering the demographic composition, character and
status of the Palestinian Territory occupied since 1967, including East
Jerusalem, including, inter alia, the construction and expansion of
settlements, transfer of Israeli settlers, confiscation of land,
demolition of homes and displacement of Palestinian civilians, in
violation of international humanitarian law and relevant resolutions.”
Over
the past decade, the Israeli government has elected to continue the
violations listed above. It has approved the establishment of a new
settlement, Amihai, and authorized 22 illegal outposts. It has widened
the separation between the two judicial systems, one for Israelis and
one for Palestinians. It has increased the number of settlers by a
third.
It
has approved the construction of thousands of new housing units. It has
established 67 farms and a huge industrial area in Samaria, the
northern West Bank. It has allocated 13 billion shekels ($4 billion) for
paving roads, and has demolished thousands of Palestinian homes.
Over
the past decade, Israel has also further violated its main obligation
under international law – to ensure the restoration of law and order.
First, it has established 135 outposts that are illegal under Israeli
law as well. It has connected them to the road network and the power
grid. And in recent years, under the whitewashed term “young
settlements,” it has tried to regulate their status and infrastructure
via antidemocratic laws.
Second,
the government has not taken the required action against the Jewish
rioters who commit violence against Palestinians, Israelis, Israeli
soldiers and the Israeli police. The public security minister’s orders
to the IDF, whose soldiers have been present at most of these incidents,
aren’t being carried out. The minister has said that the IDF must “take
action to maintain security and order in Judea and Samaria while
exercising the authority awarded the IDF under the law, in cooperation
and in coordination with the Israel Police.”
From the perspective of the current government, which committed to change,
the West Bank isn’t occupied territory. Evidence of this can be seen in
its actions in violation of international law and resolutions. It’s not
interested in settling the West Bank’s future through negotiations. It
doesn’t see the West Bank as a “occupied territory,” as it violates the
principle of temporality by expanding settlements. The government also
doesn’t see the West Bank as “liberated territory,” as it committed in
the Abraham Accords not to annex it.

The
status of the West Bank is therefore one of an abandoned territory
whose Palestinian residents are discriminated against. The Palestinian
Authority can’t enforce law and order in most areas of the West Bank, as
it only has authority over 40 percent of the territory, which is
divided into no less than 169 separate islands. In Area C, controlled by
Israel, there are two judicial systems: one for Israelis and one for
Palestinians.
The world calls this apartheid.
Not only does Israel not apply the laws of military occupation, it also
ignores its own laws and government resolutions. It lets a radical
minority determine the character of the state and its image around the
world. The Startup Nation is trying to invent a new startup, it seems,
in the form of a new regime. But unlike high-tech and agriculture, the
world isn’t really interested in this “innovation” and sees it simply as
apartheid.
Israel’s
membership in the family of nations – thus preventing it from becoming
an outcast – is of unparalleled importance. We should remind Prime Minister Naftali Bennett
– who believes that the world will “get used to” all of Israel’s whims –
of what Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion told Haaretz on October 2,
1959.
“Anybody
who believes that today one can solve, purely through military force,
questions of historical issues between nations doesn’t know what world
we live in… Any local issue today becomes an international one, so our
relationship with the nations of the world is no less important than our
military strength.”
Dr. Shaul Arieli’s latest book is the 2021 Hebrew-language work “12 Israeli Myths About the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict.”
En kommentator i The Guardian er soleklar: "The evidence is all around us: life outside the single market is an utter disaster"
"Take back control" ... er blitt det samme som offentlig byråkrati: 50.000 nye engelske byråkrater.
Tidligere arbeidstakere fra Europa er borte ... resultatet er stor mangel på fagfolk og arbeidere i mange yrker.
Ett grotesk eksempel er svineholdet i UK: Det er mangel på slaktere ... så 35.000 slakteferdige friske engelske griser er blitt destruert og gravd ned. Allikevel er køen av griser til slakting 200.000 dyr. Svinekjøtt importeres istedet fra EU som nå har økt markedandelen til 60% i UK.
Og der er flere eksempler ...
Kommentator Simon Jenkins er ikke nådig med Toryene og harsellerer med Jacob Rees Mogg som er blitt "Brexit Opportunity Minister".
Jenkins konkluderer det for UK må bli en helt annen markedstilgang enn den Brexit har skapt.
En tidligere minister i UK avslører i The Guardian 15. februar 2022:
"No 10 pressured me to drop anti-money laundering measures, says ex-minister"
"A former Conservative minister, once at the heart of efforts to clamp down on money laundering in London, has revealed that during Theresa May’s premiership, No 10 “leant on him” when he tabled amendments to introduce a public register of overseas property owners.
Lord Faulks said he had first tried to put the register into the criminal finances bill in 2017 and then again into a government bill on money laundering in 2018. He had described the overseas ownership of “dirty money” in London as an obscenity."
......................
Ex-ministeren sier han ble lurt til å tro det ble jobbet med tiltak i regjeringen.
Så hans innspill kunne utgå.
Men nå sier han: -Ingting er blitt gjort av UKs konservative regjering.
Det er tydelig at å motarbeide "skitne penger" ... det prioriteres ikke av Toryene.
- "Why is the White House stealing $7bn from Afghans?"
Dette er spørsmålet som stilles i et innlegg i The Guardian 16. februar 2022.
Det er snakk om midlene i den afghanske sentralbanken som er plassert i "Federal Reserve Bank of New York".
Biden har tatt hånd om innskuddet og delt dette i to, halvparten til amerikanske etterlatte etter Al-Qaeda-angrepet i 2001 ... og den andre halvdelen til humanitær hjelp i Afghanistan.
Men er dette lov?
Og er det klokt?
Er det tyveri?
Er det rett og slett makta som rår?
Mens afghanerne går mot hungersnød og elendighet ...
Han skrev:"Why Thieves and Crooks now rule the World"...
Spesielt ble det pekt på russiske oligarker som hvitvasket sine penger via London.
Dette aktualiseres nå med Ukraina-krisen:
Vesten truer med sanksjoner mot Putins kumpaner.
Men kan Boris Johnson og hans konservative party slå hånden av noen av sine største donorer? Det er blitt så ille at president Biden angis nå å være i tvil om Boris Johnson sin evne til å stå opp mot Putin: ...“there is clear concern in the US government about the influence of Russian money in the UK”. (The Guardian 4. februar 2022)
Svarte penger og korrupsjon ... med utnyttelse av Londons svake kontroller ... har infisert Toryene?
Det er skremmende hva man har latt skje: "Tyver og kjeltringer styrer verden" ..
Ny advokatlov er fra 21. nov 2021 under behandling i Justiskomiteen i Stortingen.
Frist for å levere innstilling er 8. mars 2022.
Lovforslaget kan forsterke advokaters bidrag til skattesvindel ved den taushetsbestemmelse som gis advokater.
Dette er i sterk utakt med behovene for mer åpenhet om skatte-etikk og skatteunndragelser.
Ref avsløringene fra Pandora Papers. LuxLeaks, AngolaLeaks etc.
Det er også i utakt med hvisvaskingsbestemmelser som banker etc underkastes.
Og som DNB nylig har skjønt er viktige.
Advokatlovutvalget foreslo en uttømmende liste over unntak fra
advokaters taushetsplikt. I stedet foreslo Solberg-regjeringen i lovproposisjonen en generell
unntaksbestemmelse, ifølge Advokatbladet)
I vurderingen av denne saken er det er verd å ta med seg dette sitatet fra artikkel i NY Times 25. januar 2020. Der viser man i artikkelen til korrupsjon i Angola der skatterådgivere har hjulpet til:
"But imposing banklike legal obligations on a broader range of firms that
provide financial, tax and legal advice would be an important step
forward."
Dette er kloke ord som til fulle også må gjelde for advokaters virksomhet.
Israel hadde et eget departement kalt "Strategic Affairs Ministry" med ansvar for bl.a. "hasbara".
Med den nye regjeringen ble dette lagt ned ... konklusjonen var at slik statlig "hasbara" var mislykket.
Men nå videreføres dette under utenriksminsiter Lapid i et program kalt "Concert".
Haaretz 26. januar 2022: "This anti-BDS Initiative Failed. So Israel Throws Another $30 Million at It" "The government will invest many more millions in restarting a non-governmental joint venture called 'Concert,' which failed in its previous attempt to reshape the perception of Israel in digital media spheres"

"Påvirkningsagenter" på nettet skal stå opp for Israels sak ... mot betaling.
Det var Obama som i 2008 uttalte:
"Du kan ta leppestift på en gris, men det er fortsatt en gris."
Skulle ikke Israel heller ta alvorlig realitene?
Det som følger med brutal okkupasjon og ulovlig nybygging på okkuperte palestinske områder ... med brudd på internasjonal rett.
