The cheapening of Arab blood by the West and the blatant racism
Nawal’s resignation, reflected in many other conversations with other friends and with people on the street, was heavy, but masks a corrosive sense of pain,regret and anger – another violation, another occupation – which was evident in the face of every demonstrator who took to the streets of Egypt, Syria, Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen and Jordan. There was no equivalent in the images of demonstrations in Europe and the United States. The bombing, the immediacy of it, the images of warm, throbbin...

Dave Kersting: Hatred of Arabs is possible because of US progressives' silence on Israel
When Israel won its special license to use live ammunition against
stone-throwing children, in 2000 and 2001 - expanding the atrocious freedoms
it established in the First Intifada, which set the stage for the first
"Gulf War" - it set the precedents the US military enjoys today. Actually,
US progressives set those precedents, with their silent support....

Crowd control, American-style
We make our way to Faluja General Hospital, whose morgue last night served as temporary home for the bodies of ten men, a young woman and a ten year old boy. The influx of the 37 wounded has ceased, the blood now cleaned from the floors, the mourning keening woman brought home. The anger, however is still here.
Its presence cannot be dealt with by the hospital staff as efficiently as they patched up, with limited pain killers, surgical equipment, blood bags, and IV lines, the 37 people who w...

Smith students vote for gender neutral wording
Monday, April 28, 2003 -- NORTHAMPTON - Smith College students earlier this month made a decision some might find mystifying: Although Smith is a women's college, the students voted to change the language of their student constitution so that the pronouns "she" and "her" would be replaced with gender-neutral terms. The vote applies only to student government documents, and not to official college publications, so none of the college's brochures will excise the female prono...

Edward Herman: From Vietnam to Iraq
"For lack of a better word, I feel almost guilty about the massacre. We wasted a lot of people. It makes you wonder how many were innocent [sic]. It takes away some of the pride. We won, but at what cost?"...It was also evident in the complete failure of the UN to extend the removal of weapons of mass destruction to Israel, as was also called for in Security Council Resolution 687.
