10-14-06 - The pain behind the occupation It is even not far-fetched to suggest that the United States - and possibly the UK - are funding Dahlan, as they did prior to the Palestinian elections, in an $11m (£6m) bid to stave off a Hamas election victory. This time, the aim would be to try and bring about an "organic" change of power, since obviously starving the Palestinian people hasn't worked out too well.

10-14-06 - Clint, what about Iran? ** Why isn't Sheriff George W. Bush pulling out his rifle in order to drive the bad guys out of town, before they make the global village evaporate in smoky mushrooms? Because thanks to the neocons, he's got his hands full in Iraq. And secondly, whose war is it? Fight your own battles (sh#t), or get off the pot. Enough of the whining.

10-14-06 - British book launches in East Jerusalem on demografic racism & the mind of the Israeli occupier Reporter Jonathan Cook argues that at the heart of Israel's concerns is the issue of demography. The "Jewish state" cannot be Jewish if the lands' original owners bounced back in population after hundreds of thousands were displaced upon creation of that Jewish state. The basis of the racist ideology that creates a state for a single religion on the land of that of another is at the core of the local discussion.


10-14-06 - Rice properly speaks up for Palestinians someone has to speak up for the aspirations and the rights of suffering Palestinians. Rice reflects well on the United States by doing so.


10-14-06 - Hebron Reflection: Seasons I will hear
soldiers spewing hate toward "Arabs." I will listen to the stories of families

living under occupation.
