A Report from Syria: Attitudes and opinions of the people there From Bosra in the south to Aleppo in the North, I saw a rich agriculture: wheat, fruit, olives and vegetables. I saw Bedouins and Christians of several varieties living alongside Muslims of different stripes. I even met a Jewish antique dealer who returned to Damascus because I like it here better than Brooklyn.

Rupert Murdoch and William Kristol: Using the Press to Advance Israel’s Interests Murdoch’s close relationship with Sharon and heavy investment in Israel led former Times Africa correspondent Sam Kiley to resign his position. “The Times foreign editor and other middle managers flew into hysterical terror every time a pro-Israel lobbying group wrote in with a quibble or complaint,” Kiley said, “and then usually took [the lobby’s] side against their own correspondent...No pro-Israel lobbyist ever dreamed of having such power over a great national newspaper.” After one conver...

Robert Fisk: 28 July 2003 Report. US troops turn botched Saddam raid into a massacre It appears the killings started as the troops were searching the building and as motorists approached the barbed wire which the soldiers had placed without warning across the road.

The Gaza Strip was a fertile area, with Palestinian farmers growing produce for internal consumption and for the residents of Jericho in the southern West Bank. But after destroying most of the farmland over the past year and confiscating much of it for Israeli settlements, there is little produce in the last month found inside the Gaza Strip, and what the residents of Jericho must now rely on comes from Israe...
