Hatred of Arabs Is So Commonplace, It Usually Goes Unnoticed
Yet the extremism about which I speak isn't actually extreme, at least not in the
customary definition of the word. The man who wishes all Palestinians would die is
better embraced by American analysts than those who argue in favor of
international law (i.e., against Israel's occupation and in support of the right to
return). With minor variations, decorated commentators George Will, Charles
Krauthammer, William Safire, and scores of others say the same thing. They are, in
short, odious...

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
he will continue to rake up the violence until the Israeli colonization program has
been fully completed to the liking of his cabinet of warmongers....

Israelis purposely provoke Palestinians into retaliation
he Israeli press has suggested
that his triumphant cry has less to do with the operation's formal
objective -- the extra-judicial execution of Hamas leader Salah
Shahada -- than with the successful annihilation of a unilateral
ceasefire agreement formally finalized by the different Palestinian
military factions a day before the massacre. Hamas and Islamic
Jihad will most likely retaliate, which will justify, in turn,
Israel's further reoccupati...
