Bay Aryan Resistance
San Francisco constantly struggles with itself to solve the question of how many ***holes it's possible to fit into a square mile. How many cybersissies can you cram into a phone booth? How many Gaia-peddling belly-floppers? How many self-absorbed monkish Nerf balls of ideological irrelevance? How many dayglo lemon-meringue fashion tarantulas? How many gaunt, cellophane-wrapped nipple-tweakers? How many prune-twatted hipster debutantes?...

New York Times' Pro-Israeli Bias
Friedman likes to blame Arafat for "provoking
the Israelis into brutalizing Palestinians" and for provoking
the "ritual sacrifice" of Palestinian children: "The
Palestinians seem to have no qualms about putting up their youths
to be shot at." He adds that Israelis seem to have no qualms
about shooting at Palestinians, but it's clear that in his book
the basic fault lies with the Palestinians....

Israel is the Tail that Wags the Dog
A lot of people have heard the phrase "the tail that wags the dog," but very few know where this came from. It comes from Arab journalists back in the '70s in describing the way the US does whatever Israel wants....

Pro-Israeli Groups Target Politicians Who Call for Balance in our Foreign Policy
McKinney sees what happened to Hilliard, and that American Jewish money is pumping up Majette's challenge. So she goes to Arab-American groups to try to raise money to fight back. This allows Tom Edsall to attack her in the Post as being in receipt of money from pro-terror Muslims. Lots of nasty looking Arab/Muslim names suddenly fill Edsall's stories. ...and when furious blacks start denouncing the role of outside Jewish money in the onslaughts on Hilliard and McKinney... there'll be an aval...

The Intifada is dead, long live the Intifada
The peace with Egypt, signed in 1977, resulted from Isreal's strategic need to isolate the dirty
war against the Palestinians from the larger Arab context, of which Egypt was the leading
power. The move was successful, allowing Israel to invade Lebanon in 1982 without worrying
about a Southern front. The invasion itself was a move to undermine the political pressure to
recognize and negotiate with Palestinians over land....

Is the US Media Biased When It Comes To the Middle East?
When Daniel Pearl was killed by Islamists in Pakistan, the US media reported it as a horrific crime -- which was correct because it was. When Israeli Soldiers shot Suraida Saleh to death while she was holding her 9 month old baby in her harms, their was not even a peep out of the US media. It did not matter that she was a Palestinian American that was born in the US. Her family was not invited to speak on Larry King Live on CNN. This one small case points out the extreme double standard by...

Before Israel was Our Ally, We had NO Enemies in the Middle East
We are in this mess because the Bush administration
foreign policy is based on lies. It is based on lies in order
to avoid the politically incorrect truth that our problem
with terrorism is solely the result of our outrageously
unjust policy of blind support of Israel. Neither Bush nor
Congress wants to admit this, so they come up with
absurd lies that terrorists are jealous of our free...

Language Of The Middle East
How little value they
place on Palestinian life is illustrated by a sentence an
Israeli court gave a Jewish settler. His sentence was a
fine and community service. What was his crime? He had
knocked down a 10-year-old Palestinian boy, put his
booted foot on the child's neck and beaten him to death
with the butt of his military pistol....

Could Mossad have sabotaged the EgyptAir flight that went down in 1999?
There were 33 high ranking Egyptian officers on board. I remember watching ABC news at the time and was told that the Egyptian pilot had said "I have made my decision now." After Egyptian investigators listened to the voice recorders, that quote was nowhere to be found. Why was that lie televised and why was it never corrected -- leaving the impression that the Egyptian pilot really had committed suicide....
