MARK GAFFNEY: US Congress Does Israel's Bidding, Again
Did the US impose sanctions on Israel in 1982 when the Israeli army invaded Lebanon and slaughtered as many as 20,000 people, mostly civilians? The invasion was unprovoked. As the Israeli military historian, Ze'ev Schiff, pointed out in his book Green Light Lebanon, the border had been quiet for nearly a year. In the end, Israel had to stage an incident to create the necessary pretext for the attack, which was planned and led by none other than Ariel Sharon......

Robert Fisk: Are we now to support atrocities against the 'scum of the earth' in our war
Why is The New York Times providing space for the advocacy of war crimes by US soldiers? I doubt the US channels will broadcast any images of "brutal measures" - they've already had the chance to do so and have declined. But atrocities? Are we now to support atrocities against the "scum of the earth" - Mr Brooks' word for the insurgents - in our moral campaign against Evil?...

Kristen Ess: Un Resolution 1515 To Back Roadmap
The Americans told the Israelis in advance that the U.S. would vote with the Road Map resolution, but also said they would attempt to alter the proposal. This is a large reason why Palestinian people have little faith in international agreements. An already flawed document is diminished even further.
The Israelis listed 150 changes to the existing Road Map this year in order to adopt it, 14 of which are major....

I Know John Pilger: When Bush Is Lying: His Lips Move
"Out there", the Iraqi dead and suffering are still unpeople, their latest death toll not worthy of the front page. Neither is the Amnesty report that former Iraqi prisoners of war have accused American and British troops of torturing them in custody, blindfolding them and kicking and beating them with weapons for long periods....

Israel's New War Machine Opens the Abyss
The army goes virtually everywhere, usually raiding two or three cities or villages every day and night, leaving a string of casualties and appalling human rights abuses rarely reported by the American media. The death toll of innocent civilians, children, mothers, grandfathers, mounts daily, in ones and twos and fours that slip through the cracks of the wire services, or are entombed as eleventh-paragraph filler in policy-and-politics stories....

Voiding the Palestinians -- An Allegory
What is the significance of a single Palestinian teenage girl killed and raped by Zionists? The question can be answered by a similar question "what is the significance of a single Jewish girl (Anne Frank) killed by Nazis?"...

Dave Kersting: Peeling Away Layers of Zionist Lies and Racism
Those who try to build a holistic, comprehensive approach to progress, addressing ALL issues - equality for everyone, minors' rights, women's rights, environmental sustainability - find a thousand times as much slanderous and violent opposition on the issue of equality for Palestinians as we do on all other issues combined. Only in the case of Zionism is one "chosen" ethnic-group's claimed "need" for ethnic-supremacy so obnoxious as to vilify EQUALITY as an "attack&q...

Robert Fisk: How we denied democracy to the Middle East
Now let's have another linguistic analysis of Mr Bush's words. "The failure of Iraqi democracy," he told us two days ago, "would embolden terrorists around the world, increase dangers to the American people, and extinguish the hopes of millions in the region." Here's another take: the failure of the Bush administration to control Israel's settlement-building on Arab land would embolden terrorists around the world, increase dangers to the American people and extinguish the ...

Live from Palestine: An Interview with writer and ISM member Nancy Stohlman
We’ve got to look at the whole situation again and see that this is not an “even battle” between “sides,” but that Israel has one of the most sophisticated militaries in the world, with more than 200 nuclear warheads, propped up by the United States with billions of dollars. Palestinians don’t have a military...It’s clear who is oppressing who, here. Unfortunately the mainstream media has led people to believe that Israel is right on the brink of extinction. That’s just not so. Israel is a...
