RON JACOBS: First Syria, Then Iran
...the immediate denial by Hamas and Islamic Jihad lead me to believe that perhaps it was an Israeli organization (governmental or otherwise) that may have killed those guards. After all, Sharon and his government opposes the so-called road map to peace-which is why these Americans were in Gaza in the first place-and if the US can be scared away from even this poor excuse for a solution to the Palestinian situation, then the plan for a Greater Israel can move ahead....

Don't be afraid by Silvia Cattori
The shattered eyes of Palestine are staring at us. They are craving for unity, for justice, for truth, for humanity. Those are the eyes of generations of children who have been deprived of the happiness of their age....

Dave Kersting: Popular Anti-Arab Racism- it's so commonplace, few even think of it as hate
...I would not reveal the target ethnicity:
I would just substitute words for random ethnicities. After I had read about
three or four of the anti-Arab comments (as anti-black, anti-Chinese,
anti-white), the guy told me that this could not possibly be found on the
Berkeley campus: it was openly racist, and would not be allowed, so what was
my point? I had at least a hundred similar comments about "Arabs."...

Poverty NOT sex
Clearly something is wrong Paul King 2003-10-13 10:23 PM
Japan has no 'AIDS' but is one of the most sexually active nations and has far below average condom use. The facts confirm that so called 'AIDS' is immune suppression caused by poverty and sex plays no part whatsoever...

WARNING: Syria is next in the lineup of endless wars. Israel's Bush-Backed Attack on Syria
Syria, long vilified by the neocons in charge of the White House, was bound to come under either U.S. or proxy attack. Paul Wolfowitz and Richard Perle are determined to bring down the Baathist regime. In July, Undersecretary of State John Bolton, who wants to expand the "Axis of Evil" to include Syria, and who has a history of making asinine accusations about Third World countries designed to justify preemptive U.S. attacks, was supposed to tell members of a House of Representative...

When at a Loss, Escalate -- Strategy behind Israel's bombing of Syria
On Saturday, October 4, Hanadi Jaradat, 29, blew herself up in a restaurant in Haifa, killing 20 people including herself. American media, as usual, reported Jaradat's act without context. But Jaradat, a law school graduate, was reportedly avenging the death of her brother and cousin, murdered on June 12 in Jenin by Israeli death squads, who, according to LAW Society, apparently shot them after taking them in custody....

The War on Al-Jazeera -- by the wife of the Al Jazeera reporter killed in Baghdad
The US was not content with the message it sent to al-Jazeera signed with the blood of my husband; it accused al-Jazeera and other Arab channels of anti-American bias in their coverage of the war. But how biased can a picture of dead people be? A picture of a destroyed house doesn't need a reporter to tell its story, and the tears of children and refugees need no interpreter......

100 US Jews renounce right of return as atonement for Yom Kippur
ABOUT 100 San Francisco Jews today renounced on their right to immigrate to Israel to protest the country's refusal to extend the same right to Palestinians expelled from their land. The group, which included 30 marchers carrying a petition of 100 names, called the act a ritual atonement in honour of the looming Jewish holy day of Yom Kippur on October 5....

ROBERT FISK: The Myth of Western Intelligence Agencies. Syrian Weapons of Mass Destruction
They were at it again last week, the liars of our Western "intelligence" community. John Bolton, the US under-secretary of state for arms control and one of Donald Rumsfeld's cabal of pro-Israeli neo-conservatives, was giving testimony before the decidedly pro-Israeli sponsors of the Syria Accountability Act...Mr Bolton, who once ludicrously claimed that Cuba had a biological weapons programme, accused Syria of maintaining a stockpile of sarin and of working on VX and biological we...

RIVER: Latest update on the current situation in Iraq and attitudes of Iraqis
Aqila Al-Hashimi was buried today in the holy city of Najaf, in the south. Her funeral procession was astounding. Rumor has it that she was supposed to be made Iraq’s ambassadress to the UN. There are still no leads to her attackers’ identities… somehow people seem to think that Al-Chalabi and gang are behind this attack just like they suspect he might have been behind the Jordanian Embassy attack....

International Direct Action -- The Spanish Revolution to the Palestinian Intifada
The US government annually spends billions of dollars in economic aid to prop up the Israeli apartheid state. My state's (Colorado) biggest employer, Lockheed-Martin, is one among many companies earning fantastic profits from the F-16 bombers raining death on Bethlehem, Nablus, and Jenin. Caterpillar Inc. grows rich off the sale of the 30-foot-tall, Orwellian, D-9 bulldozers that Israel uses to demolish hundreds of Palestinian homes....
