  • US - ISRAELI UN RESOLUTION HYPOCRISY
    31 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    US - Israeli UN Resolution Hypocrisy - by Stephen Lendman
    Two nations stand out above all others as notorious serial abusers of UN resolutions - the US and Israel. Over the last half century, the US has used its Security Council veto many dozens of times to prevent any resolutions from passing condemning Israel for its abusive or hostile actions or that were inimical to Israeli interests. It’s also voted against dozens of others overwhelmingly supported by the rest of the world in the UN (…)

    Friends True and False
    Israel Shamir - Shamireaders July 26, 2006
    After two weeks, the war settled down comfortably in the Middle East, like an old aunt on a regular visit to her nephews. It came to stay for a while, and as the first shock of the battle for Lebanon is over, the picture clears up. First, the news. Despite the awesome, crushing might of the Israeli onslaught, despite its unprecedented viciousness and brutality, the steadfast warriors of Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah held their (…)

    TO THE UN General Secretary: Are you keeping silent or justifying the massacre in Lebanon?.
    The Israeli war on Lebanon is an obvious act of massive destruction. In its first week, bridges, airports, electric power stations and residential areas were deliberately targeted. The UN nation, represented by its Secretary General, failed to act according to its character. The UN security council has failed, by the American veto, to stop the war or even to issue an order for that. Mr. Coffi Annan (…)

  • Mayor Martin O’Malley Pimps for Israel Lobby
    30 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    “Don’t wait for the Last Judgment. It takes place every day.” - Albert Camus
    Oh, what will these politicians do to get elected to public office? Are there any limits? Take for example, Martin O’Malley, a Democrat. Presently, he holds the office of mayor of Baltimore City, but he also wants to be the next governor of Maryland. So, when the call went out to him from the wheeler dealers in the Israel Lobby to show up for a “Baltimore Stands with Israel” rally, on July 25, 2006, at the local (…)

  • Dying for Good: Tony Blair and the great fight
    29 July 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Ahh, the charming poodle, Tony Blair. How absolutely charming he can be at the podium, with his upperclassman diction and typical British aloofness!
    But when he gets around to speaking to the world press he doesn’t waste any time placing his foot firmly in his mouth and demonstrating his elitist disdain for 3rd world lives.
    Aside from his crass and incredible statements about how he feels "grief" for the dead civilians in Lebanon but still says me "must continue what we’re doing for we (…)

    Opinion: Why Do They Hate Us? 07/30/2006 12:06 AM
    Shortly after the terrorist attacks of September 11, frustrated Americans including top administration officials cried out aloud: Why do they hate us? They were referring to Arabs and Muslims.
    Curiously, five years later, during which the US waged and encouraged at least two regional wars, the Americans have yet to get it.
    A year ago, Karen Hughes, a long-time adviser to President George W. Bush, was appointed Undersecretary of State (…)

    Meaningless In New York Gulf News Editorial 07/29/2006 12:00 AM The UN Security Council has expressed "shock and horror" at the death of four of its peacekeepers in Lebanon.
    "Shock and horror" is that the best the Security Council can come up with?
    If so, then this august body that believes itself capable of ruling the world should be ashamed of itself.
    But, of course, it is the very best the Council can think of without upsetting either the US Administration or, more importantly to (…)

    Mysterious Wounds From Israeli Shells In Gaza Agence France Presse Friday, 28, July, 2006
    GAZA CITY, 28 July 2006 - “When the bomb exploded from the plane. I felt I was in hell. Real hell,” shouts 31-year-old Ghassan stabbing the air with his finger and straining over the side of his grubby hospital bed.
    Professing allegiance to Palestinian national security, Ghassan went to Gaza’s Maghazi refugee camp last week to fight the Israelis during a particularly bloody incursion.

    Bush And Blair Blowing Bubbles By SusanUnPC Friday, 28 July 2006 at 14:34
    From Ray Close, via Larry Johnson and posted by SusanUnPC.
    Dear Friends:
    It became very clear during the Bush-Blair press conference on Friday morning, 28 July, that the American and British "formula" to resolve the Lebanon crisis rests on a hallucinatory expectation that several critically important developments can and will take place successfully between now and the time early next week when the U.N. Security (…)
