    US support for Israel? The Clinton administration worked harder than any other for peace in the Middle-East, and al-Qaeda mushroomed under its watch. In the 1990s Washington’s efforts to bring Israelis and Palestinians together were rewarded by the first attack on the World Trade Center, as well as those on its (…)

  • Creating New Hotbed of Anti-Americanism in Somalia
    6 January 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By Nicola Nasser
    U.S. foreign policy blundering has created a new violent hotbed of anti-Americanism in the turbulent Horn of Africa by orchestrating the Ethiopian invasion of another Muslim capital of the Arab League, in a clear American message that no Arab or Muslim metropolitan has impunity unless it falls into step with the U.S. vital regional interests.
    The U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, on Dec. 28 is closely interlinked in motivation, methods, (…)

    “Nothing else in the world...is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.” - Victor Hugo
    Let’s face it! The year 2006 was another hell on earth for the Palestinians. Since 1967, they have been suffering under the heel of the Zionist Death, Mayhem & Occupation Machine. Earlier this summer, as the situation grew desperate in Gaza, where 1.4 million people are trapped, Israel’s Far Right Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, wisecracked: “Nobody dies from being uncomfortable.” He lied!
