As’ ad over at Angry Arab brings our attention to the willingness of the US media to transmogrify the Israel-Palestine issue and one of the greatest euphemisms in recent history - the “arrest raid.”
Elsewhere, just in case you missed it, Israel is now officially crowned worst brand name in the world. Though as you can imagine, according [...]

A stirring tale of pirates and of emperors and who really evaded justice this morning, Saddam Hussein — or the United States and its current allies in Iraq.
Richard Dicker, Human Rights Watch makes a good point, even though their recollection of pre-1991 events in Iraq is a little dodgy and clearly tainted by US doctrine.
“The [...]

32 journalists died in Iraq this past year. Real insurgents or conscious strategy by US forces concealed as ‘insurgent’ activity? Either way, their blood is on America’s hands.
Afghanistan and the Philippines, with three deaths apiece, were the next most dangerous datelines in 2006. Russia, Mexico, Pakistan, and Colombia each saw two journalists killed. All are [...]

Something tells me the Security Council wont be eagerly and earnestly addressing the issue. Like so much else which has to do with Israel, Jews or the ideology of Zionism. Iran is of course correct in this. And had Israel declared the ownership of nuclear weapons in the first place they may have been able [...]

Despite rhetoric about women’s rights, America has helped turn Iraq into a sectarian hell where women can no longer participate in civil society. In fact, most will have to be content if they can leave the house every other month or so.
For much of the 20th century, and under various leaders, Iraq was one of [...]

Freedom is on the march, though in this case it means leaving Iraq behind. As succinctly put on Metafilter
Iraq has become the world’s fastest-growing refugee crisis.
Life there is a living hell, but the exodus is threatening to destabalize its neighbors. The US accepts only 500 Iraqi refugees a year, but president Bush has [...]

David Duke is allowed on CNN in an attempt to discredit the Holocaust Conference and any serious criticism of Zionism. The result isn’t entirely what Wolf Blitzer was hoping for as he gets his poorly corroborated slogans turned around. Deals with the constant and deliberate misquoting of Ahmadinejad, media bias and Blitzer’s shoddy history which [...]

Say goodbye to the “clash of civilizations” myth. This is perhaps the most important UN report in a decade as it cuts right through the idea that has been nurtured not only by the usual Zionist and US suspects but by certain Islamic leaders as well, exposing the deception that is driving foreign policy and [...]

America’s murderous cannons roar. The US has now — directly and indirectly — violently killed more people than Saddam in Iraq, and in less time too.
This study, “The Human Cost of the War in Iraq,” puts civilian fatalities at 426,369 to 793,663 but gives a 95% certainty to the figure of 601,027.
Human Rights Watch has [...]

Macabre and significant yet strangely underreported. Could someone please drive a stake through his heart already.
Kissinger, according to Woodward’s book, apparently has convinced the Bush White House that any troop withdrawals from Iraq will start a wave of public pressure to pull out all U.S. forces from Iraq. He is probably right in this analysis. [...]
