A Proposal for Italibya

A refugee wave of “catastrophic proportions”?

(ISTANBUL) - Libya’s Col. Muammar Gaddafi is known for his proposal of a state called Isratine. I would propose another state by the name of Italibya.

Italian premier Silvio Berlusconi has already sounded the alarm that taking a stroll in downtown Milan can cause one to think that one is not in fact in Europe but rather in Africa.

Palestine and Europe

Catch the latest as Professor Qumsiyeh reports the latest from Europe.

(BETHLEHEM) - People around Europe are mobilizing in the hundreds for the Trip to Palestine in July. I gave talks in filled rooms in Southampton and Paris.

I am now in London and then onto the USA to give talks on popular resistance and to recruit more people for this trip.

Universal Jurisdiction

The tampering will enable Gaddafi's arrest but protect Israeli war criminals.

(LIVERPOOL) - Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has initiated a campaign to enable people to petition their MPs to support Ann Clwyd's Amendment to the Police Bill currently going through Parliament.

Her Amendment calls for the Government to omit the clause in the Bill which tampers with the present law of Universal Jurisdiction.

Child Deaths

Even in death Ibrahim was still moving. Israeli soldiers were using his body for target practice.

(RICHMOND, R.I.) - The nation was shocked by the horrific shootings in Tucson on Jan. 8. It is particularly tragic when a child is killed. Christina Taylor Green was a gentle 9-year-old whose dreams of helping others were ended by an assassin’s bullet.

Two years earlier, on Jan. 4, 2009, another 9-year-old was killed.

Federal Lawyers and Wisconsin Residents Willing to Fight Back Needed

Where are the criminal complaints to the US ATT?

(SALEM, Ore.) - For several years now we have watched attacks on our constitutional and civil rights from all levels, both from the public and private sector.

Diplomat: I Can No Longer Represent Israel

Foreign Ministry earthquake: A veteran diplomat says he has resigned from his post because he had a hard time defending the policies of Israel's current government, Yedioth Ahronoth reported Wednesday.

(TEL AVIV) - Veteran diplomat Ilan Baruch quits, says he can no longer represent government; Israel's foreign policy is 'wrong,' he says, adding that blaming global anti-occupation views on anti-Semitism is 'simplistic, artificial'.

Ilan Baruch says he quit because "Israel's foreign policy is wrong," pointing to the Palestinian issue.

Stop Congress` New McCarthy Witch Hunt

We need to make sure that our national security experts are not trumped by the politics of fear.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Congress is preparing McCarthyism 2.0. Rep. Peter King, the Chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee—the person in Congress who is in charge of our safety at home—plans to hold hearings next week about the threat we face from our fellow Americans.

Rep. King has said that 80% of religious leaders in mosques are radicalized. Not true. He has said that American Muslims do not cooperate with law enforcement. The police and FBI disagree.

Children of Vietnam Provides Scholarships, Playground Improvements with Generous Grant from MoneyGram International

911, `How` or `Who`

Questions on the destruction of the World Trade Center.

(CINCINNATI) - The original report describing the destruction of the World Trade Center as resulting from heat from jet fuel fires, a relatively low temperature source of short duration, is simply silly.

There is more than minor evidence that the report, now rejected as outlandish by hundreds of architects and scientists, was a “whitewash” and is, in itself traced to members of the Bush administration believed complicit in a very real conspiracy.

Give Charlie Sheen a Break

He's one of if not the best male actor on television, and with the way sports personalities are paid such ridiculous salaries, why not let Hollywood's royalty have some room?

(LOS ANGELES) - Nobody is going to convince me that NBC didn't light Charlie Sheen poorly this week during his interview with Jeff Rossen; and one of the network shows this week put on the chump hat by using an ultra wide fisheye type filter to make Sheen appear distorted.

Downward camera angles; super wide shots to make Charlie Sheen look small with their (had to be) intentionally non-flattering lighting; baited questions for his girlfriends about whether or not they represent a "mother" figure to his twins; what a total set up that was.
