  • The Israeli Elections A Decisive Vote for Apartheid By OMAR BARGHOUTI (Counterpunch)
    4 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    "Israel votes for disengagement and final borders" and "Israelis abandon the dream of Greater Israel" were the main themes in the spin that characterized mainstream, even some progressive, media coverage of the Israeli parliamentary elections which took place on March 28. In reality, the election results revealed that a consensus has emerged among Israeli Jews, not only against the basic requirements of justice and genuine peace, as that was always the case, but also in support of a more (…)

  • The New Definition of Military Valour - Saying No To Politicians, The Guardian/UK

    Published on Monday, April 3, 2006 by Max Hastings
    Francis Fukuyama’s Iraq recantation has received keen attention on both sides of the Atlantic. Like many US conservatives, he now distances himself from what has been done in the neocons’ name by the Bush administration. Of course, we welcome every sinner that repenteth, but the people who seem most deserving of respect are those clever Americans who got it right in the first place. Most of my US military acquaintances opposed the (…)

  • Uri Avnery: What the Hell has happened?
    3 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Uri Avnery
    THE MOST dramatic and the most boring election campaign in our history has mercifully come to an end. Israel looks in the mirror and asks itself: What the hell has happened?
    On the way to the ballot box, in the center of Tel-Aviv, I could not detect the slightest sign that this was election day. Generally, elections in Israel are a passionate affair. Posters everywhere, thousands of slogan-covered cars rushing around ferrying voters to the ballot stations, a lot of noise. (…)

    Of course, however the mistake is made, we all know that our wonderful governments do not admit to fallibility. How we have suffered as a result. Now the time has surely arrived for us, as a nation, to take a grown up standpoint on such a ridiculous decision.
    Cannabis is called weed for a single reason: if it gets the chance it will grow anywhere. From that position (…)
