September 11 - US Government accused
A Portugal-based investigative journalist has presented THE NEWS with version of the September 11th attacks that has to date failed to attract the attention of the international press.

The Hidden History of Zionism
Twenty thousand Palestinians and Lebanese died, 25,000 were wounded and 400,000 were made homeless during the first months of the 1982 Israeli invasion. The tonnages dropped on Beirut alone surpassed those of the atomic bomb which devastated Hiroshima. Schools and hospitals were particularly targeted.
The citrus and olive production of Lebanon south of Beirut was destroyed. The Lebanese economy, whose exports had competed with Israel’s, became moribund. The south of Lebanon became an Israe...

Israeli Violence: Horrific Smoke Screen for a Political Agenda
While we watch pictures of carnage with disgust, and hear the voices in our
minds and hearts calling for an end to the violence, Sharon can only be smiling in
satisfaction. There could be no better smoke-screen for his real political agenda,
namely the annexation of as much Palestinian land as he can take hold of, and

Direct Action Versus Electoralism
Anarchists engage in direct action as opposed to voting. This anti-electoralism (or anti-parliamentarianism) may seem strange and even perverse to many. After all, virtually the whole left believes in the importance of voting. In the US, liberals and state socialists have voted for the Democrats with a steadfastness that is almost religious, even as the Democrats have steadily moved to the right. In Western Europe, they have voted consistently for the Socialist or Labor Parties (social democr...
