    On Jerusalem’s Jabotinsky Street, opposite the President’s Residence, a medium-sized plaque is fixed on a locked gate, enclosing a broad building and a lovely garden: "This building was the location of the British Mandate Government’s High Military Court, which held the trials of the Hebrew resistance fighters from the Haganah, Etzel and Lehi." The sign bears the emblems of the Jerusalem municipality and the three resistance organizations. It further notes: "The resistance (…)

  • Again, Arabs to Fish in a ‘Dead Sea’

    By Nicola Nasser* Undeterred by any historic experience, the Arab League foreign ministers meeting in Cairo on July 15 seemed intent not to desist from fishing in the “dead sea” of the United Nations and decided to send a delegation to a ministerial meeting of the UN Security Council in mid-September with the aim of launching a new Middle East peace process. More of the successive failed “peace processes” as a management practice during intervals between wars is no more convincing to (…)

  • Israel may ’go it alone’ against Iran

    Israel is carefully watching the world’s reaction to Iran’s continued refusal to suspend uranium enrichment, with some high-level officials arguing it is now clear that when it comes to stopping Iran, Israel "may have to go it alone," The Jerusalem Post has learned.
    One senior source said on Tuesday that Iran "flipped the world the bird" by not responding positively to the Western incentive plan to stop uranium enrichment. He expressed frustration that the Russians and (…)

  • On Your Mark, Get Set, Bomb!

    By Remi Kanazi
    Ladies and gentlemen, grab your rockets and start firing. The sovereign state of Lebanon must respond to the gross violation of UN resolution 1701, by destroying Israel if necessary. The Lebanese population cannot wake up every morning, wondering if their rogue state of a neighbor is going to drive them into the sea or possibly up to the mountains (it depends which direction the Israeli forces drop in from).
    But seriously, can Iran nuke Israel yet? I realize Iran doesn’t (…)

  • Thank God Bush didn’t win in Iraq!

    That might sound like an absurd comment, but think about this situation for a moment.
    The Neocons like Perle, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz felt strongly that Iraq was key in their PNAC (Plan for a New American Century) scenario. For them Iraq, right in the middle of the whole Middle East hornet’s nest (their opinion), should be..and became..the target for regime change and the installation of what we’d hoped would be a Western style democracy. To that end the US bombed the crap out of the (…)

  • Dear “Terrorist” Child: Life Under Empire’s Claws

    Imprisoned in the Vortex of the Pax Americana
    Growing up, young child, as you surely are, affected in some way, shape or form by the tentacles of America’s malevolent imperialism in the Middle East, whether by market colonialism, economic genocide or military occupation, surely bitterness, hatred, rage and a thirst for vengeance are slowly yet inevitably building inside your tiny body. Like a seed planted into the fertile soils of American (…)

    LIBAN:Global Diabetes Epidemic Caused By Depleted Uranium From Leuren Moret

    You can go to the Lebanese govt. website listed on the maps for updates. The journalist will be interviewing me on Aug. 28 (…)

    In June of 1982, when Israel invaded Lebanon with 80,000 soldiers, killing 17,000 Lebanese and Palestinian in a matter of a few weeks, my father, who had known some of the early Zionist leaders, compared the Israelis with the Nazis and suggested I go back and read Deuteronomy. I did and read it again (…)

  • When they invade the USA!...Bush says they will!

    The other day Bush said "If we give up our efforts in Iraq and pull out before the mission is accomplished, the terrorists will follow us over here!"
    We’d sure better heed his erudite and carefully considered advice. I have no doubt that the minute we pull out of Iraq, where we’re doing a bang-up job, the various dead enders, thugs, teenagers, angry fathers and mothers, Saudi fighters, Sunis and Shia will board planes and boats and trains and automobiles, armed to teeth, and head to New (…)

    There are few marks on the road where the missiles hit the innocents of Marjayoun. But there are the memories of what happened immediately after the Israeli airstrike on the convoy of 3,000 people after dark on 11 August: a 16-year old Christian girl screaming "I want my Daddy" as her father’s mutilated body lay a few metres away from her; the town mukhtar discovering that his wife, Collette, had been decapitated by one of the Israeli missiles; the Lebanese Red Cross (…)
