The Responsibility of the Intellectuals: Cuba, the U.S. and Human Rights Isn’t it time that we, in the United States, with our illustrious and prestigious progressive intellectuals with all our majestic moral sensibilities recognize that there is a vital, heroic revolution struggling to defend itself against the U.S. juggernaut and that we modestly set aside our self-important declarations, support that revolution and join the one million Cubans celebrating May Day with their leader Fidel Castro?...

Understanding the Shi'a: Part I Lebanon Hezbollah was the strongest group, so they took upon themselves to try negotiate with the Americans and to explain to them that the real trouble makers were the Phalangists and their Israeli allies. Unfortunately, as one American Colonel later told me, he was himself a Catholic, the Israeli and Phalangist influence in Washington, DC was so strong that even officers on the ground were not listened to in DC.

Robert Fisk: So he thinks it's all over... The Americans, he said, still had "to root out the terrorist networks operating in this country". What? What terrorist networks? And who, one may ask, are behind these mysterious terrorist networks "operating" in Iraq? I have a pretty good idea. They may not actually exist yet. But Donald Rumsfeld knows (and he has been told by US intelligence) that a growing resistance movement to America's occupation is gestating in Iraq. The Shia Muslim community, now supported by thous...

Israeli Major: Just Saying No To Israel's Occupation 
I will not obey illegal orders to execute potential terrorists or fire into civilian demonstrations. (Since October 2000 more than 850 Palestinians have been killed by my army: 178 were minors, and 55 were executed.) And I will not take part in "less violent" actions like keeping Palestinians under curfew for months, manning roadblocks that prevent civilians moving from town to town, or carrying out house demolitions and other acts of repression aimed at the entire Palestinian popul...

Thanks to Israel and our country's support of their policies, Christians are becoming an 'endangered species' in the Holyland. Right Wing Conservat...
