textDenial in the War on Terrorism: The US governement's foreign policy causes blowback by William Blum, zmag.org
We sent Marines into Lebanon and you only have to go to Lebanon, to Syria or to Jordan to witness first-hand the intense hatred among many people for the United States because we bombed and shelled and unmercifully killed totally innocent villagers -- women and children and farmers and housewives -- in those villages around Beirut. ... As a result of that ... we became kind of a Satan in the minds of those who are deeply resentful. That...

textFiring blindly during a power cut, soldiers kill a father and three children in their car by Justin Huggler, independent.co.uk
She had to leave in the car her injured daughters, 16-year-old Ia and 13-year-old Haded, along with her husband, Adel, who was bleeding badly and groaning. Her 18-year-old son, Haider, was already dead. A bullet went between his eyes....

textEdward Said: Worldly Humanism v. the Empire-builders by Edward Said, counterpunch.org
It is surely one of the intellectual catastrophes of history that an imperialist war confected by a small group of unelected US officials was waged against a devastated Third World dictatorship on thoroughly ideological grounds having to do with world dominance, security control, and scarce resources...Today bookstores in the US are filled with shabby screeds bearing screaming headlines about Islam and terror, Islam exposed, the Arab threat and the Muslim menace, all of them written by politi...

textNew mass graves in Iraq aren't objects of media attention because they are US victims by Robert Fisk, independent.co.uk
And then, a little further away, lies the evidence of another slaughter of the innocents during the Anglo-American invasion; two local families, most of them children, 21 in all, blasted to pieces in the village of Awja when the Americans bombed their homes on 2 April in the hope of killing Saddam. They were supposedly distant cousins of the dictator. We never heard of this bloodbath during the war, of course. Nor was it reported afterwards. But here are the victims. The child martyr Reem ...

textReturn of the Terrorist: The Crimes of Ariel Sharon by counterpunch.org
In October of 1953 came the attack by Sharon's unit 101 on the Jordanian village of Qibya, whose "stain" Israel's foreign minister at the time, Moshe Sharett, confided to his diary "would stick to us and not be washed away for many years". He was wrong. Though even strongly pro-Israel commentators in the West compared it to Lidice, Qibya and Sharon's role are scarcely evoked in the West today, least of all by journalists such as Deborah Sontag of the New York Times who rec...

textKristen Ess: 4,200 Palestinians On Hunger Strike by Kristen Ess, ISM
Several Palestinian journalists have been advised that Israeli Defense Minister Moufaz has put the Israeli army on alert. He is reportedly telling them to be ready for one of the biggest IOF attacks on Palestinians yet, as he predicts the Palestinian end of the cease-fire will not last through the month of September. He is seemingly unconcerned that the Israeli end of the cease-fire has failed to begin. An 11 year-old girl remains hospitalized after Israeli soldiers shot her in the Gaza S...

textWho Forged the Letters that Sucked Us into War? Israel, Yellowcake and the Media by JERRY KROTH
The left incriminated that the reason Bush couldn't stop salivating over the prospect of invading Iraq was for its oil: ah yes, greedy Republicans, Texas oil magnates, Halliburton, insider wheeling and dealing. Sounds good, but was there anyone opining that the real reason we invaded Iraq was to keep Israel as the sole nuclear power in the Middle East? The discussion never moved in that direction. And it did not move there probably because the issue was never put on the table....

textOccupied peoples have a right to resist: ISM's response to charges of supporting terrorism by Tom Wallace and Radhika Sainath, ISM
Many of us have paid a price for our commitment. James Deleplain, 74, sustained a broken rib and punctured lung after settlers beat him during the olive harvest. Tom Hurndall, 21, was shot in the head while moving children out of harm's way from an Israeli sniper. Brian Avery, 24, had his face blown off by an Israeli armored personnel carrier. And, of course, Rachel Corrie, 23, was run over by a bulldozer driven by an Israeli soldier while attempting to protect the home of a Palestinian physi...

textJohn Pilger: The War on Truth. The US media's suppression of the civilian toll in Iraq by John Pilger, zmag.org
This is unmentionable here in America. The tens of thousands of Iraqi dead and maimed do not exist. When I interviewed Douglas Feith, number three to Donald Rumsfeld at the Pentagon, he shook his head and lectured me on the "precision" of American weapons...Like the American-driven, medieval-type siege that destroyed hundreds of thousands of Iraqi lives over 12 years, there is no knowledge of this in America: therefore it did not happen. The Iraqis are, at best, unpeople; at worst, ...

textReview: James Longley's "Gaza Strip" (2002) by Nigel Parry, electronicintifada.net
After watching Gaza Strip, a documentary made by a citizen of the country that bears primary responsibility for the continuation of the conflict, what condemns us most is that they don't hate us. The lack of rancor evident in the Palestinians seen through Longley's lens is a powerful word of peace spoken by a people whose oppressors have invested much to falsely represent as violent and uncompromising....

textRacist contempt for Arabs and Iraqis set the stage for the latest massacre by US troops by Zehira Houfani, Iraq Solidarity Project
Alerted by the gunfire, the neighbours faced this spectacle in total dismay. "Ya Haram!", whispers Laraba, a neighbour in her forties, drying her tears with the old scarf she was wearing on her head. "Why have these damned soldiers done this? These were good people, a Christian family held in esteem in all the neighbourhood. In 30 years, nobody ever held a complaint against them. Ya habibi ya Tamer! What have these criminals done to you ?" "He wouldn't have killed a f...
