children's camps this summer after terrorists, including suicide terrorists,
and it seems from the mention of "UNICEF" in the PA papers that the UN is a
significant supporter of these camps. The summer camps, are often named
after specific terrorists or just the general term "Shahid", meaning "Died
for Allah", the term the PA uses to honor the terrorists, as well as others
who died ...

Kristen Ess: All In A Days Work For A Mythical Democracy (report from Occupied Palestine) Under this ‘cease-fire,’ the Israeli government continues to send occupation soldiers to rip up trees and crops, creating wastelands that reinforce the myth that this is a land without a people, as if no Palestinian family ever lived here. This practice destroys the livelihood not only of families and communities, but creates Palestinian dependency on Israeli agricultural production....

A day in a life under Israeli Occupation The Boston ISM delegation has spent the last two weeks accompanying Jayous villagers through the one access gate to their land. The Israeli government promised unencumbered passage, but after several beatings from the machine gun toting private security guards at the gate, many farmers are too terrified to approach it. As a result, the village with its 4000 inhabitants is dying a slow death. Should the gate be closed for any length of time, that death will come more quickly with the resulting...

Edward Said: Imperial Arrogance and the Vile Stereotyping of Arabs At least since World War II, American strategic interests in the Middle East have been, first, to ensure supplies of oil and, second, to guarantee at enormous cost the strength and domination of Israel over its neighbors. In the U.S., "Arabists" are under attack. Simply to speak Arabic or to have some sympathetic acquaintance with the vast Arab cultural tradition has been made to seem a threat to Israel. The media runs the vilest racist stereotypes about Arabs--see, for example, a p...

Obsessions about Israel. Israel's supporters ( not critics) obsessed with Israel Israel is seldom off the front pages. It’s an obsession that’s forced on all of us, unless we make an effort to ignore it. Columnists like Charles Krauthammer, Cal Thomas, and William Safire write about it far more often than I do, and nobody calls them “obsessed,” because, like most pundits, they are always and absolutely on Israel’s side. It’s only when you occasionally contradict the Niagara roar of Zionist propaganda in the media that you are charged with having an unhealthy preoccupation...

WILLIAM A. COOK: Defining Terrorism from the Top Down For the past six months, criticism of Israeli IOF actions against civilians in Gaza and the West Bank has increased exponentially as reported in British, French, and Greek newspapers, and in Ha'aretz. Ha'aretz has condemned this reaction as "rising anti-Semitism." The nature of the criticism, however, is not against the Jewish people, but against the kinds of actions taken by the Sharon forces against civilians, actions that can only be labeled as "terrorist" acts....
