Soldiers Uproot Agricultural Lands Near Bethlehem

Israeli occupation forces manage to trash more Palestinian farmland.

(AL WAKAJA, Occupied Palestine) - It is a fairly common story for dual language Palestinians; listening to reports of Israel's "need to defend itself" on Hebrew Radio, and then watching the Israelis invade their neighborhoods and in this case, agriculture fields, with the express purpose of destroying Palestinian property.

They say Israel's apartheid laws allow this to happen. Separate laws for Palestinians and Jews and even more separate laws, rules and conditions for the 'fundamentalist' extremists who drive the desire to eliminate the Palestinians through genocide.

Are the Defenders of `Antisemitism` Losing the Edge?

How many times must world leaders watch them fumble the cards before they learn that they cheat and cannot be trusted?

(MELBOURNE) - A year ago, Americans were reluctant to discuss Zionism or anti-Zionism or read the stuff, even “moderate Arabs and Muslims” (whatever that means), shied away from the communities around these two camps and lacked the strength to support the few that might have had, the guts to stand up and confront real controversy.

There are hundreds of journalists who would not want to go within twenty miles of an anti-Zionist for fear of being castigated as questionable and “controversial characters” because this was how most of the rest of the Industry responds to them.

Dear Helen Thomas with a PS to all her `Colleagues` and Every American

One lady who has been there to see America from the inside, for a very long time.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Eighty-nine year old Journalist Helen Thomas has taken a lot of heat for daring to address the fact that any Jew without any historical connection to Israel is encouraged to settle-as in colonize-upon legally owned Palestinian land.

I learned about, Aliyah, which means ‘going up,’ during my first of seven trips to Israel and occupied Palestine in June 2005 from an American Jewess who had taken the deal and she informed me:

Turkish Journalist Recounts Flotilla Attack

(ISTANBUL) - Following is my (rough) translation of excerpts from the first part of Taraf newspaper’s two-part interview with Ayşe Sarıoğlu, a 27-year-old graduate student at Istanbul University, who was on board the Mavi Marmara.

The Unacceptable Face of Capitalism

What happened to Wall Street?

(ENCINITAS, Calif.) - Before Congress and the eyes of the world the executives of financial giant Goldman Sachs admitted that they bet against America. They created financial instruments that they compared with manure so that they and their clients could place big bets on mortgages and housing.

For the winners there were fortunes to be made, even if our financial system was taken to the point of destruction and our children handed a debt burden of unimaginable proportions.

PTSD in World War II Vets: Direct Relation to Alcoholism & Drug Abuse

The alcoholism rate of Veterans is at least twice that of non-Veterans, the relative risks are appalling...

(MOLALLA, Ore.) - There has been a lot of Bull Roar that WWII Vets do not/did not have PTSD as did Vietnam and Middle East Vets. I say Bull Roar. We WWII Vets got it too. In a previous article, I wrote that a WWII Ranger still had it 64 years later.

I can say the same about myself. I still have it and I don’t believe it will ever go away despite what some of the pseudo psychiatrists at the VA have been bleating, for instance “You’ll get over it in a few months. Take these Valiums”.
