The cheapening of Arab blood by the West and the blatant racism
Nawal’s resignation, reflected in many other conversations with other friends and with people on the street, was heavy, but masks a corrosive sense of pain,regret and anger – another violation, another occupation – which was evident in the face of every demonstrator who took to the streets of Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen and Jordan. There was no equivalent in the images of demonstrations in Europe and the United States. The bombing, the immediacy of it, the images of warm, throbbin...

Israel to Close the Door on ISM - Tries to use foreigners' bombing as a rationale
"Wednesday's bombing in Tel Aviv, which was committed by two men who entered Israel on British passports, added a new reason to the authorities' desire to clamp down on the foreign activists - fear that other terrorists from overseas might enter the country under the guise of peace activists." - Logic: If no more peace activists are allowed to enter the country, then no more foreigners will be able to disguise themselves as illegal peace activists and get inside the country. Wouldn't it be ...

Chron's Take on The Roadmap - Blast away
what idiots. editorials like this are what expose how stupid this paper really is - "A U.S. military victory in Iraq has helped reshuffle the deck," "Israel faces challenges, too. It must give up settlements set up since 2001," - wow, huge sacrifice there . . . "Just as difficult is Bush's role as an evenhanded peacemaker," what? "Nothing will get done if terrorism continues" just like Israel says . . ....

Dave Kersting: Hatred of Arabs is possible because of US progressives' silence on Israel
When Israel won its special license to use live ammunition against
stone-throwing children, in 2000 and 2001 - expanding the atrocious freedoms
it established in the First Intifada, which set the stage for the first
"Gulf War" - it set the precedents the US military enjoys today. Actually,
US progressives set those precedents, with their silent support....

Edward Herman: From Vietnam to Iraq
"For lack of a better word, I feel almost guilty about the massacre. We wasted a lot of people. It makes you wonder how many were innocent [sic]. It takes away some of the pride. We won, but at what cost?"...It was also evident in the complete failure of the UN to extend the removal of weapons of mass destruction to Israel, as was also called for in Security Council Resolution 687. The United States disapproved that part of the agreement, therefore it was ignored. In the case of Ira...

Promoting Diversity and Cultural Interaction
An emotional highlight of the night was the tribute to Rachel Corrie, the International Solidarity Movement activist who was killed when an Israeli bulldozer ran over her as she was attempting to protect a Palestinian house from being demolished. Following a moving video, which featured Rachel at eight years of age delivering a passionate appeal about the need to combat world hunger, the audience gave the Corrie family, who were in attendance at the dinner, a standing ovation....

9/11 was a hoax
Opposed by everyone in the world who was not bought off, the illegal invasion of Iraq was undertaken for many reasons - the imminent replacement of the dollar by the euro as the world's primary currency, the tempting lure of untapped oil reserves, the desire to consolidate U.S./Israeli military hegemony over a strategically vital region - but the most important reason was to further obscure questions about the awesome deception staged by the American government that has come to be known as 9/...
