Blair Rebuttal: Stories Neglected & Lies told by NYT Due to the glaringly racist nature of the condemnation by the New York Times editor of the lack of journalist ethics on the part of junior reporter, African American Jayson Blair, age 27, Blair now has a legal case against the NYT.

JUST SAY NO TO ANTI-BROWN-SKIN, ANTI-JAPANESE, ANTI-MUSLIM BIGOT DANIEL PIPES In 1990, Pipes expressed anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim views when he was quoted in the National Review: "Western European societies are unprepared for the massive immigration of brown-skinned peoples cooking strange foods and maintaining different standards of hygiene. . . . All immigrants bring exotic customs and attitudes, but Muslim customs are more troublesome than most." During an interview broadcast on the national "Democracy Now" radio program, when program host Amy ...

No Sharon, we won't drop the right of return Between 1948 and 1949, Israeli forces killed at least 13,000 Palestinians.

Other villagers were killed inside their homes and in other parts of the village. The village was later demolished to make way for a parking lot and the Nahsholim kibb...

Interview with Greta Duisenberg on her pro-Palestinian stance We aimed to address the Western proclivity to address the symptoms, but not the cause of the problems in area. We also aimed to address misconceptions like the commonly heard refrain: "stop the violence on both sides and go back to the negotiation table." Given the context of the conflict this would mean that the Palestinians would have to negotiate their freedom with their occupier. Whoever enters this debate about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict runs into all sorts of political t...

Caoimhe Butterly: Iraqis fear for their future from a US government they don't trust "Oil is our curse. It brought us nothing but tragedy under Saddam. It will bring us nothing under the Americans. They should not have subjected us to another war. By destroying a people’s heritage, you destroy their past and future. We have been made, to them, a people without a past. Our records and archives are destroyed, burnt in the ministries. We become a people without names, no records to say we exist. We are the oldest civilisation, but we are presented to the world as terrorists...

Whatever happened to the Golan Heights? The Israelis overran the Golan Heights and Quneitra in 1967, but after the Yom Kippur war in 1973 they agreed to vacate Quneitra and to withdraw a short distance. Before they departed - in a gratuitous act of defiance – the town was razed to the ground. The town used to house a population of forty thousand people. When the occupation ended, not a roof remained intact, not a wall was left standing...the only structures more than a few metres high were the graffiti covered, bullet riddled ruins...

Charley Reese: Iraqis say no to Saddam, no to the United States and no to Israel Don't let the Bush administration con you into blaming Saddam Hussein for the suffering caused by the sanctions. From Day One, people opposed to the sanctions, including me, pointed out that economic sanctions only hurt the common people, never the government...Every administration in Washington has always known that. One can only conclude that the administrations wanted the people of Iraq to suffer. Well, they did....

Apartheid in Canada Canada imposes an apartheid situation on its indigenous people. Most native people live on isolated northern reserves without basic necessities of life; the rest live in urban poverty. Native people did not receive the right to vote until 1961 (40 years after women) and were removed from their families and forced to attend residential schools in an attempt to assimilate them to white culture....
