Senior Middle East Correspondent for BBC discusses medias' bias in favor of Israel In my judgment as a journalist and Middle East specialist, the broadcasters' language favours the occupying soldiers over the occupied Arabs, depicting the latter, essentially, as alien tribes threatening the survival of Israel, rather than vice versa. The struggle between Israel and the Palestinians is shown, most especially on mainstream bulletins, as a battle between two 'forces', possessed equally of right and wrong and responsibility. It is the tyranny of spurious equivalence.

French Police Arrest Woman For Hoax Anti-Semitic Attack Pascal Boniface, the director of the French Institute for International and Strategic Studies, said the extensive coverage the hoax had received in French media demonstrated a double-standard approach in dealing with racist attacks in the European country.
"At a time when anti-Semitism crimes soar, we also find another kind of racism targeting the younger generations of immigrants, which is poorly covered by media," Boniface told IslamOnline.net.
"More and more, French ci...

The Selective Justice of America And Its Allies THE response of Israel and its chief ally - the United States - to last week's ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) was very predictable. True to form, Israel's hawkish Prime Minister Ariel Sharon boasted that his country would continue building the West Bank separation barrier despite the ICJ's ruling that the wall is illegal and must be brought down....

Robert Fisk: Iraqi academics targeted in murder spree for unknown reasons Just who the modern-day Mongols are remains a painful mystery of our story. Disgruntled students they are not. Baathist-hunters some of them might be - all heads of academic departments were forced to join Saddam's party - but none of the murdered Baghdad university staff were believed to be anything more than card-carriers...Other university staff suspect that there is a campaign to strip Iraq of its academics, to complete the destruction of Iraq's cultural identity which began with the dest...

Slipping Towards Armageddon: Israel in Iraq It appears that Iran's policy is to develop nuclear power for energy production while keeping its options open for the future. Such a policy is totally understandable, given Israel's own massive nuclear arsenal, the existence of which is beyond dispute, even if the White House doesn't want to be reminded. Let us remember, Israel's nukes are aimed at Tehran. Put yourself in the Iranians' shoes. It's unreasonable to expect them to forswear nukes forever unless WE in America are also prepared to...

Another Blair Whitewash: Butler Report Likely To Be As Bad As Hutton Report It is known that Blair lied with his pre-ar about WMDs and the use of the 45 min claim that he knew to be a manipulation of facts. The only result of these inquiries has been the punishment of the news media for reporting the truth! Don't let Blair get away with this. He is more to blame for the Iraq war than Bush since he went against public opinion while Bush was able to get majority support....
