Dead BA Pilots `Victims of Toxic Cabin Fumes`

TWO of British Airways’ most talented pilots have died after complaining of years of exposure to toxic oil fumes on board passenger planes.

French Whore Gives Zionism a Blow Job

A much respected expert investigation indicated there was as high probability that Arafat was poisoned with polonium.

(LONDON) - I don’t wish to offend readers other than perhaps those of the parties of my headline, but I have to say that it, the headline, was the first thought that came into my mind when I learned from the BBC that, according to leaks to the French media, a team of French scientists do not believe Arafat was poisoned and that he died of a “generalized infection.”

Opinion/Editorial: How Obsession With `Nonviolence` Harms the Palestinian Cause

Oppressed people do not and should not have to explain their oppression to their oppressor, nor tailor their resistance to the comfort of the oppressors and their supporters.

(RAMALLAH The Electronic Intifada) - In recent years, western discourse surrounding the Palestinian cause has employed a few new — and superficial — adjectives to describe Palestinian resistance: Palestinian “nonviolent” resistance, Palestinian “peaceful” resistance, Palestinian “popular” resistance, Palestinian “unarmed” resistance.
