  • Radical thinking on Israel
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The world would be a better and safer place if there was no Israeli state. For if there was no Israeli state, there would be no armed campaign against it and no armed campaign in defence of it.
    I can understand perfectly well why Jews across Europe felt the need for a homeland state following the Second World War. No wonder they thought that the only way to ensure that there would never be another holocaust was to set up a state of their own and ensure its total security.
    But the cost in (…)

  • The myth of strategic supremacy

    The United States total support for Israel’s war in Lebanon is both alarming and mystifying. How can it be explained? Ties of sentiment undoubtedly play a part, as does the work of the hydra-headed Jewish lobby in convincing Washington opinion that US and Israeli interests are identical and that they face the same enemy in the shape of “Islamic terrorism†. Mention must also be made of the important role of the ubiquitous neocons, both inside and outside the Bush administration, in (…)

  • Israel - A Malignant Tumor In Need Of Radical Surgery
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    With the countless bombings of Lebanese civilians and the indifference toward human life including atrocities committed in the past, Israel seems to many almost like a malignant, malevolent tumor. Israel is not the only guilty party in the current mass murder/genocide of the Lebanese people. The US and her European allies are equally guilty by turning a blind eye to this massacre. This further adds to the false moral issues the US and the UK touched upon after 911. The bombing of innocent (…)

  • Ready,Willing, NOT Ready!
    2 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    The governments of the world are quite communicative with the main stream media these days. Our leaders are all blowhards!
    Syria’s Assad has a prepared statemen every day, in essence saying "We’re ready if invaded"
    Iran’s Ahmadenijahd has no loss of of invective for Israel and the U.S. "We will not take orders from the West. We are willing to talk but not give up our nuclear enrichment program" He’s telling Bush, politely, to go to Hell. Bush says he won’t go.
    Bush tells the Press that (…)

The noon time heat and high humidity were only a part of it.

    Cheney’s Halliburton Loses Its Iraq Cash Cow By Charlie Cray, TomPaine.com Posted on July 31, 2006
    Recently, the Army announced with much fanfare that it was canceling the monopoly logistics contract that Halliburton/KBR has used to bilk U.S. taxpayers since the occupation of Iraq began. The contract will be broken up and divided among at least three different companies, but it’s not clear that this will make much difference to taxpayers, or even that Halliburton will stop making a (…)

    Let ’Er Rip, Ceaselessly By SusanUnPC Monday, 31 July 2006 at 11:33
    Some ceasefire. In defying the 48-hour cessation of air strikes after only about 18 hours, Israel — which had reserved the right to strike high-value targets and provide air cover for its ground troops — bombed a vehicle supposedly carrying a high-level Hezbollah member, MSNBC reports.
    Instead, the errant air strike today killed a Lebanese soldier, said MSNBC, which also announced that the resumed bombings have forced (…)
