  • Israeli Politics of ‘Archeology’ in Jerusalem
    13 February 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser*
    The Israeli arrogance of being the regional military super power, unequivocally backed by the U.S. world super power, is dictating a kind of politics that deals trivially with the national and religious grievances of Israel’s geopolitical neighbors, whom the Jewish state is supposedly aspiring to live with in peace and as a regional integral part, while at the same time she is pursuing policies that antagonize those same neighbors to preclude altogether whatever potential (…)

    You know the standard talk by now, pure rhetoric about how the bombing and/or invasion fo Iran by the U.S. or Israel/Great Britan is likely to initiate worldwide conflagration, with Muslim populatons from Palestine to Indonesia attacking "Allied Interests", and then sending suicide bombers to our homeland to destroy our infrastructure and way of life?
    Mule muffins! I have it on good authority from my friends and contacts in Washington....good folks like Cheney, Rove, Feith and Rice, that (…)

    President Nixon, a very good poker player, once defined the art of brinkmanship as persuading your opponent that you are insane and, unless appeased by pledges of surrender, quite capable of blowing up the planet.
    By these robust standards George Bush is doing a moderately competent job in suggesting that if balked by Iran on the matter of arming the Shi’a in Iraq or pursuing its nuclear program he’ll dump high explosive, maybe even a couple of nukes, on that (…)

    Killers in the Classroom
    2/11/07
    By Dr. June Scorza Terpstra
    juneterpstra.com
    During a heated debate in a class I teach on social justice, several US Marines who had done tours in Iraq told me that they had "sacrificed" by “serving” in Iraq so that I could enjoy the freedom to teach in the USA. Parroting their master’s slogan about “fighting over there so we don’t have to fight over here”, these students proudly proclaimed that they terrorized and killed defenseless Iraqis. They (…)

    The Bush-Cheney Gang is evil! It’s like a Vampire preying on its helpless victims. In folklore, a wooden stake was driven into the black heart of the man/devil to finish it off. (2) As a people of the Law, we don’t have that option available. Thanks to its (…)

    Azzaman, February 8, 2007
    Saboteurs have destroyed five more pylons linking Baghdad to the power stations in Baiji in the north, the Ministry of Electricity said.

    Power shortages have worsened since the 2003 U.S. invasion. The authorities blame sabotage. (…)

    The Watada Mistrial: Here’s What Really Happened By Bill Simpich t r u t h o u t | Report
    Thursday 08 February 2007
    First Lt. Ehren Watada knew exactly what his case was about - and that scared the judge.
    There was absolutely no reason to stop the Watada trial.
    The judge’s claim that Lt. Watada did not fully understand a document he signed admitting to elements of the charges is completely untrue (see Melanthia Mitchell, AP, 2/8/07).
    The military seized (…)
