Members of Neturei Karta burn the Israel flag in London
Although the media currently associate Orthodox Jews with groups that support Zionist racism, expansionism, and the establishment of settlements, Orthodox-Rabbinic Jewry have, until recently, rejected the Zionist movement, a rejection that is based on several fundamental principles of the Jewish faith....

Robert Fisk: Don't say we were not warned about this chaos
An American commentator, Rosie DiManno, wrote this week that in Iraq "There's also the other cost, the one measured in human lives... one American a day slain since Bush declared the major fighting over." Note here how the blood of Iraqis - whom we were so desperate to liberate six months ago - has disappeared from the narrative. Up to 20 innocent Iraqi civilians a day are now believed to be dying - in murders, revenge killings, at US checkpoints - and yet they no longer count. No w...

The Jewish Fight Against Zionism
In line with Islam’s noble teachings, it is the duty of all Muslims to join hands with one another to reinforce what is right, to support the weak, and to combat injustice and suffering. A universal message for all humanity. Yet in times of war, calculated decision making and careful planning require a good grasp of who we are, whom we’re fighting, and what we’re fighting for. And in the fight, we join hands with all those share our cause, regardless of their creed....

Executive Order 13315: The Official Looting of Iraq
Executive order 13315, which Bush signed on 8/28/03, was published in the Federal Register on 9/3/03. It expands upon executive order 13303, and appears to be an asset grab under the guise of funding the Iraqi reconstruction, placing Iraq's state assets under control of the U.S. Treasury: in effect, the official looting of Iraq. Very convenient for a government which seeks to hand over control of Iraq to UN peacekeepers. This executive order has had zero corporate media coverage as of today....

Building a Mighty Ghetto State
Our Wall is frequently being compared to the Berlin Wall. Visually and politically, this is a reasonable comparison. Also because the "Berlin Wall" was not only an urban monstrosity. It was part of the German section of the Iron Curtain, cutting all of Germany into two and extending from the Baltic Sea in the north to the border of Czechoslovakia in the south almost a thousand km, approximately the same as the planned length of Sharon's monster....

Oct 4 and 5, 2003 - is the antidote to the constant beating of war-drums we are faced with every day in America, from our leaders and especially in our media. The Green Reel is Democracy in action: a true forum for ideas, and an opportunity for the otherwise stifled voices of progressive filmmakers from across the country and around the world to get their message across, whether regarding the environment, politics, LGBT issues, racism, and corporate power....

Dean Bloggers Exposed Sending Duplicate Posts to IMCs and Antiwar.com
It's one thing to come up with a post and post it multiple places, but this feels like spamming, particularly since the posts are just shallow and predictable nonsense. It's not like they're trying to cover up what they're doing, they're just spraying in all directions, no manners. It's a taste of what to expect from Dr Death himself - shallow spam, and lots of it....
