  • Uri Avnery: the Skin of the Bear
    25 July 2004 par (Open-Publishing)
    1 comment

    by Uri Avnery
    The strategy of Sharon and his generals is simple and brutal: to destroy the Palestinian Authority, turn life in the occupied territories into hell, disintegrate Palestinian society and drive the survivors from the country, not in one dramatic sweep (as in 1948) but in a slow, continuous, creeping process."
    I am writing this with an aching heart. I have postponed writing it as long as I could.
    In Jewish tradition, there is a searing phrase: "The Temple was not destroyed (…)

  • The 911 Commission Report is Full of Holes

    585 pages- it’s too much to read, so don’t even bother folks. They produced this monstrosity to convice you that they’ve REALLY researched, and you don’t have time to look into this like we did, so just trust us: The gov’t did their best, but they just weren’t prepared for such an attack.
    The official 911 Report (7mb pdf) is so full of holes, all you need is common sense to see through their lies- and it doesn’t take 585 pages to prove that this a cover-up... using their own document- and (…)

    By Ravi Nessman in Baghdad
    A MILITANT group said today it had taken six more hostages — three Indians, two Kenyans and an Egyptian — and would behead them if their countries did not immediately announce the withdrawal of their citizens from Iraq.
    The US death toll since the start of the war rose to 900 when a roadside bomb killed a soldier.
    The seizure of the hostages came a day after a Filipino truck driver was released in exchange for Manila’s withdrawal of its 51-member troop (…)

  • The Crisis of Information in Baghdad, four Missiles, 14 Deaths
    20 July 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Robert Fisk
    This is how they like it. An American helicopter fires four missiles at a house in Fallujah. Fourteen people are killed, including women and children. Or so say the hospital authorities.
    But no Western journalist dares to go to Fallujah. Video footage taken by local civilians shows only a hole in the ground, body parts under a grey blanket and an unnamed man shouting that young children were killed.
    The US authorities say they know nothing about the air strike; indeed, (…)

    19 July 2004 par (Open-Publishing)

    The experience is horrifying. Among soldiers and Marines from combat units involved in the early stages of the war in Iraq:

    Eighty-six percent knew someone who had been killed or seriously injured.
    Almost all had seen death, and half had handled the dead.
    Most saw ill or injured women or children they could not help.
    Twenty-eight percent of Marines had killed a civilian. (…)

  • The Iraq War is All Right Then

    by Robert Fisk
    Lord Butler told us Wednesday that Tony Blair acted in good faith. So that’s all right then.
    At the al-Yarmouk hospital in Baghdad on the same morning, there was blood on the walls, blood on the floor, blood on the doctors, blood on the stretchers. In the dangerous oven of Baghdad, 10 more lives had just ended. So what was it Tony Blair said in the Commons? "We are not killing civilians in Iraq; terrorists are killing civilians in Iraq." So that’s all right then. (…)
