[And guess who's paying for it, You.]...

Fisk: What the US President wants us to forget Remember to use the word "terror". Use it about Saddam Hussein, use it about Osama bin Laden, use it about Yasser Arafat, use it about anyone who opposes Israel or America. Bush used it in his speech yesterday, 30 times in half an hour – that's one "terrorism" a minute....

The Democrats have wimped out, the Republicans are in neocons' pocket-it's up to us now There are two main cheerleading sections for the conquest of Iraq, and for a concise description of the forces at work here I would check out Bill Moyers interviewing Ron Paul:
"I think there's a lot of influence behind the scenes for this war dealing with oil interests (and this would influence both sides of the aisle) and, as much as people want to admit it, I really think that Israel and our support for Israel has an influence in our overall policy."
Those who haven't been ...

Arafat the Hunted: Low Point of Powerlessness Israel's army, air force and navy, heavily subsidised by the United States, have been wreaking havoc on the totally defenceless civilian population of the occupied West Bank and Gaza strip. The Palestinians have been at the mercy of armed settlers who have been stealing their land and an army that has killed Palestinians by the thousands. And still Sharon makes the case that Israel is struggling to survive against Palestinian terrorism. Is there anything more grotesque than this claim......

Israel Censors all Video and Photography taken in the Occupied Territories Israel censors all images coming out of the territories. What you see on TV (assuming the media does not self-censor) has passed through Israeli military censors. This story chronicles one person's attempts to smuggle videotape of the siege on the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem out of Israel. Unfortunately, the person who has been holding on to the footage (23 hours worth) was so paranoid of Israeli agents that he could not be convinced that this person was not an agent. The footage ...

THE LIE MACHINE– It's working overtime to push us into war with Iraq An all-important aspect of the War Party's tactics is the launching of a smear campaign, designed to attribute "anti-Semitism" to any and all manifestations of antiwar sentiment. It then becomes the intellectual equivalent of Kristallnacht to say aloud what geography and common sense tell us: that this war, if not in America's best interests, is certainly of great benefit to Israel. Alex Cockburn has recently been slimed in this manner; Buchanan and Taki have been smeared with the s...
