Robert Fisk: Intentional Bombing of the Mansur residential neighborhood is a war crime A young woman's severed head and torso and a small boy's body were pulled Tuesday from a smoking crater carved into the earth by four U.S. bombs, so powerful they yanked orange trees from their roots. Once again, civilians had suffered. When the broken body of the 20-year-old woman was brought out torso first, then the head her mother started crying uncontrollably, then collapsed. She was helped into a car by two male relatives.

Dave Kersting: Racism inherent in 'Jewish State.' Equality should not be negotiable The major "anti-war" organizations, such as A.N.S.W.E.R. and United for Peace, have have also shown morally fatal compromise with racist violence, in their systematic downplay of the Zionist ethnic-cleansing at the root and core of US-Israeli provocation and Middle East destabilization. Nearly all the old-school "anti-war" leadership groups have either been dominated by Zionists, or have made the explicitly racist error of silencing any anti-racist position, which might &q...

Pictures of Thomas Hurndall. Shot in the head by the IDF murderers Friday, April 11, 2003. Hurndall, age 21, from Manchester, England, had been standing between Israeli troops and Palestinian children when Israeli soldiers opened fire, according to a fellow activist from the International Solidarity Movement who witnessed the scene. He was declared brain dead after arrival at a Gaza hospital. I guess it's now open season on Arabs and anyone who cares about them....

John Pilger: War Against Humanity -- Bush and Blairs war crimes They blew off the limbs of women and the scalps of children. Hear their voices on the unedited and unbroadcast videotape: "We shot the shit out of it." Their victims overwhelm the morgues and hospitals - hospitals already denuded of drugs and painkillers by America's deliberate withholding of $5.4bn in humanitarian goods, approved by the Security Council and paid for by Iraq. The screams of children undergoing amputation with minimal anaesthetic qualify as the BBC man's "sound ...

Robert Fisk: A day that began with shellfire "You'll see the celebrations and we will be happy Saddam has gone," one of them said to me. "But we will then want to rid ourselves of the Americans and we will want to keep our oil and there will be resistance and then they will call us "terrorists". Nor did the Americans look happy "liberators". They pointed their rifles at the pavements and screamed at motorists to stop – one who did not, an old man in an old car, was shot in the head in front of two Fren...

Hypocrisy and Racism of Iraq War I find it amazing that you use a tank to respond to a sniper at a building you know houses journalists. And the excuse that "We are at war" doesn't seem to hold water when non-Arab civilians are killed, such as in Israel.
I can only imagine what would happen to any American official who dared respond to news about a killing of Israeli civilians with the arrogant, insensitive response, "We are at war." The Israeli-controlled American media would have their heads and spec...
