The same group that tried to destroy the NIF and lynch Naomi Chazan a few months ago
has found a new target…. this time it’s Ben Gurion University.

We simply believe that the views should be balanced. [...]
Former Israeli Soldier Eden Abargil seems to have decency deficit problems.
If nothing else she cannot see that there is in fact violence in her photos.
The Palestinian men whom she is so gleefully guarding have obviously suffered violence simply by being bound and blindfolded for resisting illegal occupation.
So, is Eden Abargil’s [...]
The Israeli War Machine may not understand mortality,
but cluster bombs and white phosphorous cost real money
and even Uncle Sam can’t endlessly foot the bill.
So what’s a humanitarian to do?
Simple solution
and it will work.

It was another of those great TV moments.
Embedded reports filming as the “last” brigade of American troops in Iraq cross the border into Kuwait bringing over seven years of unhappy conflict to its final, conclusive end.
America was, at last, at peace.
But like so many other great TV moments,
this one was a scripted fantasy,
a fake exit [...]
Kenneth O’Keefe, who witnessed the Israeli assault
on the Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship,
the Mavi Marmara,
highlights the prejudices, distortions and lies of the BBC,
whose Panorama programme on 15 August propagated the Israeli line regarding the assault on the aid ship
and the murder of nine peace activists, hook, line and sinker.

Palestinians have repelled an Israeli attack in which several tanks crossed into southern parts of the Gaza Strip and an Israeli soldier pierced through the bordering security fence.
According to Hamas security officials, six Israeli tanks crossed into the area and one of them fired shells at a house near the town [...]
Polish soldiers blew the vacated Afghan cottage up
It is a three-minute film. At first one can see left Afghan buildings, then moment of dropping one of cottages off and Polish soldiers. Also their commentaries are heard.
Blowing the civilian building up is breaking international conventions, among others Geneva.
A ban on attacking civilian buildings is [...]
[Russia knows what is coming.
Before Israel can start a war in Iran,
the land supply routes through the Caucasus mountains must be closed down by a war,

Israel threatened on Tuesday to pull out of a UN probe into its deadly flotilla raid to keep the panel from grilling its troops,
as the defence minister told another inquiry the fleet was a “planned provocation.”
The May 31 raid, in which Israeli commandos killed nine pro-Palestinian Turkish activists,
sparked international outrage
and led [...]
Working with a brave team in Afghanistan headed by Anita,
Brave New Foundation’s Rethink Afghanistan project sent an intrepid local blogger into Sangin District of Helmand Province
-one of the most dangerous areas of the country.
He brought back extraordinary first-person accounts from survivors of the Sangin catastrophe.
Thanks to his work, there’s no doubt anymore:
as many as 52 [...]
A recent article declares, “Tired of war, thousands of Iraqis want to go to U.S.”
What it fails to mention is who triggered all the bloodshed.
Who made conditions in Iraq so intolerable that these people must flee?
You know who.

Misconceptions about terrorism, regularly promoted by the mainstream media,
have facilitated harmful US government actions—two wars, domestic legislation that curtailed civil liberties, excessive national security spending.
That basic, factual information about terrorism is so rarely reported thus serves to reinforce the power of those who benefit from a fearful population.
It should be banal [...]
Every Friday, the slingshot-wielding boys, or shabab, of the West Bank village of Ni’lin hold a demonstration at Israel’s separation wall, which has deprived the village of 750 acres of farmland.
But among the shabab are other youngsters with a different weapon — video cameras.
“The films we are [...]

The other day, I came across two interesting articles.
One written by an American Jew and the other by an Israeli-born Jew.
Roger Tucker, an American and founder of One Democratic State, had featured this blog once and Israeli-born Brit Gilad Atzmon who has been quoted several times on this blog.
Both writers dismiss the western ‘option’ [...]
Tony Blair must be prosecuted, not indulged like his mentor Peter Mandelson.

Across the world the formulaic system designed to free banking programmes from state control is in crisis.
Everywhere the political class are despised and distrusted.
Everywhere the myth of government as representational
is exposed.

yet each country in the pretended ‘coalition’ finds its government backing what it insists [...]
