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....

War Budget Includes Yet More Money for Israel
Cantor continued to demonstrate his unswerving devotion to Israel with his sponsorship of H.Res. 61, commending Israel for conducting free and fair elections.However, the resolution also accuses Palestinian leaders of supporting terrorism in Israel, suggests that those leaders should be replaced, and restates the U.S. commitment to “a secure peace for Israel,” saying nothing of peace and security for the Palestinians.As Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) said in speaking against the resolution, what shou...

Hezbollah—Terrorist Group or Political Party?
“If you [the United States] want to use certain moral and legal parameters to judge one side, then judge the other side as well. Otherwise, go back to politics. Hezbollah is just one part of the conflict that exists between the Arabs and Israelis, the crux of which is the Israeli occupation of Palestine.”...

Palestinians' right of return is `legal, moral and possible'
Examples of “outright expulsions” are many, some of which, like those of Lydda, Ramle and Galilee are staggering in their scale and brutality. In the cases of Lydda and Ramle, more than 60,000 Palestinians were expelled in “Operation Dani”, during which a young Israeli lieutenant-colonel named Yitzhak Rabin issued the following order: “The inhabitants of Lydda must be expelled quickly and without attention to age”...
