Stolen Land

The call to stop Israeli construction in the West Bank is there to leave us with the false impression that the robbery of Palestine started in 1967. But the vast majority of Palestinians were expelled from their towns, villages, fields and orchards in 1948, notes Gilad Atzmon...

In Their Own Words

We must use terror, assassination, intimidation, land confiscation, and the cutting of all social services to rid the Galilee of its Arab population', and ' Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages,' said David Ben Gurion, first Prime Minister of Israel..

Rahm Emanuel Speaks for Obama

It’s true that Emanuel did say that 'Israel must halt settlement construction on the West Bank'; but in the context of his whole speech, that was mere lip-service to a presidential call that had been rejected by Netanyahu and served only to confirm that it’s Zionism’s stooges in Congress who call the policy shots on Israel/Palestine, not the White House, notes Alan Hart...

Spotlight on Palestine

The Nazis called the French Resistance terrorists; we called them heroes. Pinning labels like 'terrorist' and 'militant' on people who are defending their homes and families is ridiculous. Always the little guy with the little gun is the terrorist, never the big guy with big guns, bunker-busting bombs and nukes. This warped mentality is the greatest obstacle to peace, notes Stuart Littlewood...

US Congress Endorses Israeli War Crimes

The terms of the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas included, not only the halting of rocket fire from Gaza, but also the Israeli agreement to lift its brutal economic blockade of Gaza, which had been in place before Hamas was even voted into power. The siege, nevertheless, continued unabated, notes Nima Shirazi...

Was Homeland Security Created to Protect Those Who Deceived the US?

Was Dr. Nidal Hasan a terrorist? Or was he a troubled pawn in an ongoing psy-ops campaign meant to revive a narrative that—like the fixed intelligence—was losing credibility? Both the false intelligence and the anti-Muslim narrative feature a theme of fomenting hate and intolerance, notes Jeff Gates...

Scoundrel with Permission

While the Nativ operators are interested in maximizing the number of immigrants to Israel, Yishai and his people deny these very same immigrants the right to marry Jews or to be buried in Jewish graveyards. They serve in the army, but if they fall in action they cannot be buried next to their comrades, notes Uri Avnery...

Palestinians Need Change -- Not Charades

Mahmoud Abbas should cut short his silly little melodrama, resign as he said he would, and pave the way for a needed revival of effective Palestinian national leadership, says Rami G. Khouri...

On Bended Knee to Bob Gates

Now 66 years old, Robert Gates presumably has gained experience and, hopefully, some wisdom. In his 40s, he was willing to distort intelligence evidence, dissemble before congressional committees and undercut senior administration officials, notes Melvin A. Goodman...

The Palin Effect

Little understood by those outside this culture was her religious worldview: Sarah Palin would topple America's secular tyrants, leading her people, the true Christians, into the kingdom, notes Max Blumenthal...

A Debate Worth Noting

The significance of the Congressional debate may have been ignored given what appeared to be the lopsided vote in favor of the anti-Goldstone resolution, says James Zogby...

History's Bitter Guerrilla War Lessons

History shows that the presence or influence of foreigners only feeds the flames of any insurgency, which can then be portrayed as a defense of the nation against outside aggression, says Ivan Eland...

Paying Off the Warlords

A number of popular accounts of the invasion of Afghanistan suggest that the Central Intelligence Agency directly gave Northern Alliance warlords millions of dollars in cold, hard cash to help fight the Taliban in the run-up to the US invasion, notes Pratap Chatterjee...

The Disastrous Presidency of Mahmoud Abbas

Sitting comfortably in Cairo, it was Abbas who blamed Hamas for Israel’s savage December 2008 assault on Gaza, adopting the Israeli strategy of blaming the victim. In Abbas, Israel found a valuable partner; one who was willing to compel fellow Palestinians to accept conditions to which Israel itself has never agreed, notes Rannie Amiri...

Shining Light on Roots of Terrorism

For reasons that are painfully obvious, the FCM have done their best to ignore or bury the role that Israel’s repression of the Palestinians has played in motivating the 9/11 attacks and other anti-Western terrorism, notes Ray McGovern...

Britain must de-Zionise Itself

British politicians and media are caught in bed with too many Zionist wolfs. In order to reclaim sovereignty and dignity, Britain must de-Zionise itself immediately...

Will the Gun Carnage Ever Stop?

Do the math: the total number of Americans shot dead each year is three times that of all US troops killed in Iraq in six years of fighting. There is rage in our hearts; there is war in our streets, notes Sherwood Ross...

Exposing Britain’s pro-Israel Lobby

Interesting though, last night Channel 4's ‘Dispatches’ programme left out too much. It didn’t name and shame enough individuals. But it was a brave effort which went halfway and will no doubt draw considerable flak from Israel’s hirelings and admirers, notes Stuart Littlewood...

Afghanistan’s Corruption

Of 180 countries that Transparency International gauges on a 'corruption index,' only Somalia is worse than number 179: Afghanistan. Pratap Chatterjee describes how it works...

Afghaniscam

The recent presidential election was a spectacle of fraud; the Afghan Army, despite years of training, may hardly exist; the ill-paid, ill-trained Afghan police are known to operate on the principle of corruption; and a surprisingly small percentage of foreign reconstruction funds actually makes it out of the pockets of big private contractors and western specialists, as well as security firms, and into Afghan hands, notes Tom Engelhardt..
