Racism Mars Spring for Many Foreigners and Palestinians in Lebanon

Discrimination and endemic racist practices are mainly directed against foreign female domestic workers who work as maids and nannies for Lebanese families

(BEIRUT Al-Manar) - As many visitors to Lebanon can attest, some Lebanese have the rather charming habit of asking them, “Do you love Lebanon?”

One assumes they actually mean to inquire if the visitor likes Lebanon and is enjoying their visit.

Israel`s Nuclear Whistle Blower`s June 6 Appeal Seeking Revocation of Citizenship as the Way to Freedom from Israel

"This administration tells me I am not allowed to speak to foreigners, the Media, and the world." - Vanunu

(JERUSALEM) - Eileen Fleming, author, reporter and now a candidate for US House of Representatives from Florida, began documenting the ongoing saga of Mordechai Vanunu, Israel's Nuclear Whistle Blower, in June 2005.

In 1987, Vanunu was convicted of espionage and treason. Fleming contends he was only guilty of revealing Israel's nuclear Facility at Dimona.

IDF on `Hunt` for Draft Dodgers, Deserters

Israel's vengeance toward its own who resist violence, keeps growing.

(TEL AVIV) - According to Israeli military records, there are 2,700 deserters and 1,780 draft dodgers in Israel.

In the last week alone, the IDF has arrested 474 of them as part of its largest-ever operation to apprehend them.

Bullying Hezbollah... Is Jeffrey Feltman Iran`s Best Friend in Lebanon?

The Beirut Daily, As-Safir, reported that Feltman’s sole purpose was to lash out at Iran, Syria, and Hezbollah.

(BEIRUT Al-Manar) - Key Iranian and American officials arrived in Lebanon last week to assess the strength of their local allies in the fast approaching and crucial legislative elections.

The Lebanese public and media heard plenty of policy nuances and even similar and seemingly repeated statements by the two well-listened to guests.

Response to the 60 Minutes Segment on Israel

This program was an extreme disappointment. I thought 60 Minutes had more integrity and courage.

(WEST KINGSTON, R.I.) - On Sunday 60 Minutes did a rather disgraceful segment to please Zionists. I was sufficiently disgusted to send the following hasty response via their web site.

Tonight’s segment on Israel (May 20, 2012) gave a totally distorted picture of the Middle East conflict.

Important Call to Action: A Message From Moira Jilani

None of our children are safe in a world in which the children of Gaza can be imprisoned and bombed.

(GAZA) - My beloved husband, Ziad Jilani, was executed by Israeli Border Policeman, Maxim Vinogradov on June 11, 2010.

There is undeniable evidence that my husband was lying unarmed and wounded on the ground, posing no threat when Israeli Border Policeman Maxim Vinogradov shot him point blank in the head.

Is 2013 the Real 2012?

The scenarios are stunning---tsunamis, earthquakes, floods, as the world comes crashing down around us.

(PROGRESO, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico) - Apocalyptic fever is running high. A friend in the Bible Belt, who recently became “born again,” called me excitedly to tell me she was leaving me her house. “In case I suddenly vanish,” she confided.

Of course. She would be raptured up and I, a hard core “One God” believer, would be left behind. How sweet of her to make preparations for the damned.

Hafez Aladdeen is an Israeli Patriot

The Dictator-A Film Review by Gilad Atzmon

(LONDON) - On the face of it, Baron Cohen’s The Dictator is a horrid film. It is vulgar, it isn’t funny and if it has five good jokes in it, they appear in the two minute official trailer.

In short, save your time and money – unless of course, you are interested in Jewish identity politics and neurosis.

Mindless Masses

Living in America is becoming very difficult for anyone with a moral conscience, a sense of justice, or a lick of intelligence. --Paul Craig Roberts

(MANAMA, Bahrain) - It’s well-worth following what Roberts has to say. He's one of the most informed thinkers and writers in America.

Roberts was Assistant Secretary of the Treasury during President Reagan’s first term. He authored eight books and was Associate Editor of the Wall Street Journal.

Nakba Actions

As I say to my students: do your own homework because you should form your own opinion based on facts and solid information.

(BETHLEHEM) - For the global community, there is nothing more consequential than the catastrophic failure after World War II to learn the correct lessons.

Instead, the world continued with the business of war as usual (and war is business). One of the most destabilizing forces in the world was created and sustained for 100 years before the USA took on nurturing it after WWII. I am of course speaking of Zionism.
