  • Lebanon: The 33-Day War and UNSC Resolution 1701
    20 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Gilbert Achcar
    The resolution adopted by the UN Security Council on August 11, 2006 fully satisfies neither Israel nor Washington nor Hezbollah. This does not mean that it is "fair and balanced": it only means that it is a temporary expression of a military stalemate. Hezbollah could not inflict a major military defeat on Israel, a possibility that was always excluded by the utterly disproportionate balance of forces in the same way that it was impossible for the Vietnamese resistance (…)

    Falling behind in Lebanon
    The New York Times Published: August 17, 2006
    Hezbollah is taking charge of reconstruction in south Lebanon, while the world is still dithering over the makeup of a peacekeeping force. After a month of war, large swaths of the country are in ruins. Thousands of people are without homes. Many Lebanese are furiously blaming the United States as well as Israel for their suffering. Whatever anger they may also harbor toward Hezbollah for provoking the war is being (…)

    Nuclear war starting in 10 days?
    11.08.2006 Such was the conclusion reached in the U.S. Russian generals and political scientists disagree only about its exact starting date.

The prediction was presented not by Vagna or Nostradamus but by an American political scientist Bernard Lewis in the acclaimed publication of Wall Street Journal.

    Islamic terrorists perpetrate evil acts to achieve a better future for themselves and their coreligionists. Islamic terrorists perpetrate evil acts to remind themselves and their coreligionists of ancient glories or religious events. For Islamic terrorists, today is the conduit to remember yesterday and plan for tomorrow.
    For Islamic terrorists it really is "back to the future."
    Almost every act of terror carried out today by Islamic radicals, whether al Qaeda or Iranian-bred, is a (…)

    BBC Coat of Arms, c1932: "Nation Shall speak Peace unto Nation"!
    The portrayal of the BBC as independent and impartial public broadcaster is sadly misleading. The BBC is a global instrument of Zionist propaganda. In addition to defending Israel’s terrorism and the illegal occupation of Palestinian land, the BBC is an active complicit in Zionism war crimes throughout the Middle East.
    A study by Greg Philo and Mike Berry of the Glasgow University Media Unit in Scotland reveals that the (…)

    19 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Israel’s Water Wars Tuesday, August 15th, 2006 by Jason Godesky The stated rationale for Israel’s invasion of Lebanon was nonsense. Ostensibly, Israel invaded Lebanon because Hizb’allah captured two IDF soldiers that violated the Lebanese border.1 Later reports in Western media were changed so that Hizb’allah was entering Israel in an unprovoked attack; this is the generally understood scenario in the West, though it conflicts with the original reports and Lebanese police. Hizb’allah asked (…)
