Kristen Ess: The Israeli occupaion forces (IOF) keep on killing
In the destroyed southern Gaza Strip town of Rafah, Israeli Occupation Forces killed Suad Abdel Aziz Bahdari late last night. The 27 year-old Palestinian woman was walking near the Morak Settlement when Israeli soldiers shot and killed her. The Israeli military told the Palestinian Authority that they had killed an armed fighter, but upon receiving her corpse and belongings, the PA saw that she was an unarmed young woman whom Israeli soldiers shot and killed without cause....

Justin Raimondo: The campaign to criminalize criticism of Israel
Stanley Kurtz, writing in National Review, is right on the cutting edge of this battle: he recently testified before Congress that "one-sided" criticism of Israel in publicly funded institutions of higher learning must be banned. Mideast scholars are "anti-American," avers Kurtz, especially the followers of Edward Said, and he proposes nothing less than a "supervisory board" to conduct investigations of scholars who might be guilty of a "hate crime." Se...

Affirmative Action and Lester Maddox
Lester Maddox, who was elected one of the last of the South's fist-shaking segregationist governors in 1966 after he and his friends used pick handles and a gun to scare blacks away from his fried-chicken restaurant, died Wednesday at 87. Generation X can't remember and the Baby Boomers want to forget this history, however, at some point our country must come to terms with this legacy of racial injustice and its current hidden institutionalized forms and the corporate strategy designed to co...

ZIONAZI BAN ON DOWN'S SYNDROME PALESTINIAN IS PUNISHED BY ARAB BOYCOTT
Several Arab teams announced a boycott of the zionazi entity's pseudo-team after Labour's Michael D Higgins criticised the zionist entity for preventing a 21-year-old Palestinian athlete from travelling to Ireland for the Special Olympics. The handball player, who has Down Syndrome, was refused "permission" by zionist occupiers to attend the games because of a zionazi apartheid policy blocking residents of the Palestinian territories from travelling abroad....

Syria Silent on U.S. Attack on Convoy
In last Wednesday's operation, U.S. forces backed by warplanes attacked a convoy believed to be carrying leaders from Saddam Hussein's ousted regime fleeing to Syria. The shooting left bombed houses, burned-out vehicles and casualties from both sides of the border. Americans may have pursued part of the convoy across the border into Syria, one U.S. official said....

Latest atrocity in Iraq bombing of 'convoy' not treated as an atrocity by US media
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. -- Hamza Hendawi, AP...

You cannot give something to someone which already belongs to that person
It is at a point where it is seen as generous for Israelis to "give" Palestinians their own land, property and water back!
Insane. It turns the conflict on its head, as usual....

Noam Chomsky: History of Israel's invasion of Lebanon in 1982
The standard version of events of why Israel invaded Lebanon in 1982 has been distorted by the mainstream media. In this excerpt from The Fateful Triangle, Noam Chomsky tells it like it happened including the Israeli bombing of civilians which the media conveniently left out in covering the incidents....

Why Diversity in Higher Education (Affirmative Action) is Necessary Still in America
Race has often been the deciding factor. The original U.S. Constitution did not recognize slaves as full human beings, let alone citizens. It's not surprising that southern states made no provision for their education. But southern laws went further than that. Slave owners considered Black literacy so dangerous that was illegal for African Americans (whether slave or free) to learn to read, or for anyone to teach them. Until 1905, when the Supreme Court ruled the practice unconstitutional, Ca...

Charlie Reese: The Roadmap and a sad story from Iraq
The United States doesn't need any special ambassadors, public-relations programs or propaganda campaigns to repair its miserable image in the Middle East. This blatant, hypocritical double standard vis—vis Israel is the be-all and the end-all of our image problems in the Middle East. It's also the source of most of the terrorism directed at the United States in and from that part of the world....

The newest course this Fall: George W. Bush's "imperialism."
Cornell University’s professors and researchers are becoming increasingly brazen in their ideological war against President George W. Bush. During the last several weeks, a professor in the Department of Asian Studies has developed and advertised a new course on President Bush’s attempt to create “an imperial empire.” At the same time, a university-funded Latino research center is proudly selling propaganda posters that compare President Bush to former German Chancellor Adolf Hitler....
