I am a mother . . . The power in the lone feminine voice raised in protest A voice is rising above the wails of grieving mothers heard around the world.

Israel is undermining its credibility with charges against UNRWA The State of Israel, via the Israel Defense Forces, the intelligence community and the Foreign Ministry, and with the encouragement of the prime and defense ministers, has become entangled in and embarrassed by the affair of the Qassam-or-stretcher in Gaza. In its eagerness to show that the Palestinians will stoop to any means, Israel behaved with reckless haste and injured its pretensions to superiority over the Palestinians with regard to credibility. This has implications not merely for pu...

Afghan vote likely to reinforce ethnic divide Analyst Ahmed Rashid says Karzai has failed to use his power to form a nationwide political party to neutralise ethnically based factions
“I am going to prove that being Hazara is no longer a crime in this country.”
So reads the main quote on the Web site (www.mohaqiq.org) of one of Afghanistan’s 18 presidential candidates. Mohammad Mohaqiq, a member of the minority Hazara community, clearly believes ethnicity is an issue in Afghanistan, a nation that is a patchwork of the largest and m...

Samarra Burning... The last few days have been tense and stressful. Watching the military attacks on Samarra and hearing the stories from displaced families or people from around the area is like reliving the frustration and anger of the war. It's like a nightmare within a nightmare, seeing the corpses pile up and watching people drag their loved ones from under the bricks and steel of what was once a home.
To top it off, we have to watch American military spokespersons and our new Iraqi politicians justify ...

Israeli offensive in Gaza kills, wounds hundreds Should the withdrawal from Gaza ever materialise, Sharon intends to leave behind a captive population of more than 1 million not only with no ability to defend themselves from the IDF forces surrounding them but with scarcely any means of subsistence. And in all likelihood, the bloodshed will not be confined to Gaza. At any point, the larger Palestinian population in the occupied West Bank can also be attacked—using a similarly spurious pretext as that employed to justify the attack on Gaza....

On numerous occasions he vowed to wage the war more aggressively than the current administration.
This contradiction—a pro-war candidate seeking to win an election b...
