It's this kind of hypocrisy that galls people all over the
Arab world. The Bush administration has sent a message
about as clear as it can be that Israeli lives count, Arab
lives do not....

Bantustan Brown
By Alex Schulman
October 2, 2002
On Wednesday, Sept. 25, I saw my name on Heraldsphere, the online message board arena of my school newspaper, the Brown
Daily Herald, paired with another one of interest to both Brown students and SFIMC readers:...

"It was taboo to speak Arabic in school and whenever teachers
wanted to chastise us, they would refer to us as 'you Moroccan' or
'you Iraqi' or 'you Yemeni,'" Shohat recalled. "Jews from the
Middle East were expected to abandon their Middle Eastern
traits, so we grew up without studying our history or culture. It was
all the more tragic for Palestinian Israelis, who couldn't even read
about Arab history in textbooks."...

I write this article
for the same reason I wrote my book:
to tell the American people,
and especially American Jews,
that Jews from Islamic lands did not emigrate
willingly to Israel; that, to force them to leave,
Jews killed Jews; and that,
to buy time to confiscate ever more Arab lands,
Jews on numerous occasions
rejected genuine peace initiatives
from their Arab neighbors.
I write about what the first prime minister of Israel
called "cruel Zionism."
I write about it ...

One example of this campaign to "encourage" Zionist immigration were
the bombs set off in Baghdad in 1950 to terrorize the Iraqi-Jewish community into fleeing their
home of 2,500 years....

I first learned of the detention and torture of American citizens in 1998, when the case of Hashem Mufleh was brought to my attention. He was an 18-year-old, third-generation American born in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Sadly, he was severely tortured and was jailed for more than a year before he was expelled from the country. Other cases were soon referred to me and I have since been able to document a total of 13, two of whom remain in prison....

They gathered together the women and girls who were still alive, and after removing all their clothes, put them in open cars, driving them naked through the streets of the Jewish section of Jerusalem, where they were subjected to the mockery and insult of the onlookers. Many took photographs of those women....

under international law, the Lebanese may pump 35 million cubic meters of water a year, and that they intend to pump only 12 million. Other statistics suggest that the Lebanese already pump 7 million cubic meters further north and intend only to raise this figure to 9 million. But now Ariel Sharon, the Israeli Prime Minister, has become involved in the whole affair, discussing with army officers the fate of the water project. One Israeli minister scoffed at the use of the army. "Are we g...

A few of the Arabs of Deir Yassin were still alive. The Balls write, “The other surviving women and children were stripped, and
with their hands above their heads, paraded in three open trucks up and down King George V Avenue in Jewish Jerusalem, where
spectators spat on them and stoned them.”...

There is one flaw in this strategy, which most Americans
have swallowed whole. The country that is the all-time
world-class champion at failing to obey and at defying
U.N. resolutions is Mr. Bush's favorite country, Israel.
There is no way you can logically argue that failure to
enforce about 70 resolutions against Israel does not
jeopardize the United Nations, but failure to enforce 16
resolutions directed at Iraq would and is a just cause for
war. The reason the United Nations has n...

Alone among commentators, Podhoretz finds Bush a singularly eloquent man. Bush’s speeches inveighing against the “axis of evil”
(Iraq, Iran, and North Korea) are, Podhoretz says, “enormously impressive”: one of them — the one announcing “war on terrorism” and
the so-called Bush Doctrine — scaled “heights of sublimity” and “deserves to live forever.” Every president receives fulsome sycophancy,
but this must set s...

I've been too busy fretting about "why they hate us" to follow the Democrats' latest objections to the war on terrorism. So it was nice to have Al Gore lay out their full traitorous case this week. To show we really mean business, Gore said we should not get sidetracked by a madman developing weapons of mass destruction who longs for our annihilation....

...for 25 years the United States has barred the efforts of the international community
to achieve a diplomatic settlement of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict along the lines in
the Saudi proposal adopted by the Arab League in March 2002.... The United States vetoed the resolution.
Since then, Washington has regularly blocked similar initiatives. A majority of Americans support the
political settlement reiterated in the Saudi plan....
