    At last the truth behind the endless stream of 1984-type propaganda against Iran has finally emerged on the fringes of the British mainstream media (MSM). In the cover story of the current NEW STATESMAN, the well-respected investigative journalist, John Pilger, reveals how the recent manoevrings at the International Atomic Energy Authority and the incessant demonizing of Iran by washed-out quislings like Blair and his ’man-of straw’ Foreign Secretary are nothing more than a campaign to (…)

    "We are being challenged by Islam these years - globally as well as locally. It is a challenge we have to take seriously. We have let this issue float about for too long because we are tolerant and lazy. We have to show our opposition to Islam and we have to, at times, run the risk of having unflattering labels placed on us because there are some things for which we should display no tolerance. And when we are tolerant, we must know whether it is because of convenience or conviction”. Queen (…)

    LET IT BE KNOWN Propagandized stupider than the fates will allow
    Let it be known, that the senior management national news reducers of CBC and CNN, know full well, they would rather watch American Soldiers die as the thieving bad guys, than to defend God’s America by reporting that the demon enemy George W. Bush, and his business partner General Ahmad, committed the terrorist acts of 9/11, along with Rumsfeld, Rice, Cheney, and Myers.

    By Scott Wilson
    GAZA CITY — Ahmed Bahar arrived here in his mother’s womb, the beginning of a journey that has taken him from the refugee camps of the Gaza Strip into exile, prison and, soon, a seat in parliament.
    Along his sandy street flutter the triumphant green banners of Hamas, the radical Islamic movement he has helped foster since before its official founding nearly two decades ago. A professor of Arabic, Bahar is the earnest face of an (…)

    In my piece concerning John Edwards which ran this past week, I wrote: "In the November 28, 2005, issue of ’The Nation,’ John Edwards was quoted as saying: "I voted for the resolution ... it was a mistake."
    I have to add that I respect anyone, regardless of what decision they made in the past, when they see that it was wrong. I have deep respect when they come out of the political closet and with humility to state that their vote was a "mistake."
    With that said, I (…)

    by Uri Avnery IF ONE wants to understand what the Palestinians did on election day, one has to see the film "Paradise Now", which has been nominated for an Oscar for the best foreign film, after collecting several prestigious international prizes. It explains better than a million words.
    Its makers - the screen-writer-cum-director, Hani Abu-As’ad from Nazareth, and the actors, are Palestinians. (Amir Harel, one of the producers, is a Jewish Israeli.)
