Netanyahu: I deceived US to destroy Oslo accords

(In this video, it appears as if Bibi is boasting about how he undermined the Oslo accords, how they are smashing the Palestinians to undermine Arafat, and how “absurd” it is that “80%” of the U.S. population supports what Israel is doing. The sound is disabled for some reason but it appears as if the [...]

Israel attacks aid ship, kills at least 10 civilians

by Glenn Greenwald, Salon … It hardly seemed possible for Israel — after its brutal devastation of Gaza and its ongoing blockade — to engage in more heinous and repugnant crimes.  But by attacking a flotilla in international waters carrying humanitarian aid, and slaughtering at least 10 people, Israel has managed to do exactly that.  [...]

Educating Jon

by Scott Creighton Absent the naive expectation of any meaningful catharsis on the part of Jon Stewart (after all “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it” Upton Sinclair), the ambition of the following revelations rests primarily in the “hearts and minds” of his [...]

Gaza’s Calm Determination

by Norman Finkelstein, Information Clearinghouse To preserve my sense of purpose, and keep the Palestine struggle from becoming a lifeless abstraction, I need periodically to recharge my moral batteries by reconnecting with the actual people living under occupation and by witnessing firsthand the unfolding tragedy. From each trip I invariably carry away a handful of [...]

Talk to Hamas:As Israeli soldiers we hang our heads in shame over last year’s attack on Gaza’s civilian population. Dialogue, not war, is needed

by Arik Diamant and David Zonsheine, the Guardian The Israeli media marked the one-year anniversary of Operation Cast Lead, the war on Gaza, almost as a celebration.

by Larry Derfner, Jerusalem Post There’s a question we Israelis won’t ask ourselves about the Palestinians, especially not about Gaza. The question is taboo.

Why I No Longer Support 9/11 Blogger as a “Truth” Site

by Scott Creighton I recently had my own troubles over at 9/11 Blogger, with a very “focused” group that haunts that site and is allowed to act as their resident gate-keepers.  That really doesn’t factor in to this decision. What does factor in, is the fact that 9/11 Blogger hasn’t posted one article about what [...]
