Could Obama`s Apparent Surrender to the Zionist Lobby Turn out to be Good for Justice and Peace?

Could President Obama be counting on a growing anti-Israel sentiment, if and when it takes hold in America, will it give him the freedom to respond to Netanyahu’s two-fingered gestures by taking on the Zionist lobby’s stooges in Congress?

(LONDON) - I’m quite strongly inclined to the view that the answer is “No”, but the question is still worth asking. It was triggered in my mind by a phrase in the introduction to the lead story of the BBC’s World Service (Radio) news bulletins late on 17 November and early the following morning.

The story was the Obama’s administration’s “dismay” at Israel’s decision to approve 900 new homes in occupied Arab East Jerusalem “in defiance of world opinion”.

The Sun Tzu of Palestinian Resistance

The Goldstone Report represents the highest and most prestigious leverage of the Palestinian initiative throughout their 60 years of oppression and genocide.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Justice Richard Goldstone’s Report ‘Fact Finding Mission on the Gaza Conflict’ documents and declares to the world Israel does indeed have the political will to relentlessly disregard international law.

Israel's PM recently toured a German-made submarine that can launch missiles carrying nuclear warheads, as Netanyahu simultaneously threatens war with Iran and is suspected in the destabilization of Pakistan.

UN Chief Deplores Israel`s Decision to Expand Settlement in East Jerusalem (VIDEO)

The status of Jerusalem remains one of the core issues in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

(JERUSALEM) - UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon Tuesday deplored Israel's decision to expand Gilo settlement, built on Palestinian territory occupied by Israel in the 1967 war, a statement issued by his spokesperson said.

Reiterating his opposition that "settlements are illegal," Ban called on Israel to respect its commitments under the Road Map to cease all settlement activity, including natural growth.

Palestine and the Art of War

Energizing access to both the affluent and humble contributor of funds is the strength of the Israeli model and it behooves being studied, employed and dismantled utilizing strategic grassroots operations.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Perhaps the most profound tribute to General Sun Tzu’s work entitled the Art of War is written 1400 years later in the 1988 Vietnam Magazine’s interview with Colonel Harry G. Summers.

Colonel Summers shared the following exchange, “But America’s fighting forces did not fail us. You know, you never beat us on the battlefield,” I told my North Vietnamese counterpart during negotiations in Hanoi a week before the fall of Saigon. He pondered that remark a moment and then replied, “That may be so, but it is also irrelevant.”

Anti-Globalization to Organize Massive Solidarity March to Gaza

A number of rallies, peaceful demonstrations and activities will be organized in Europe and North and South America on the first anniversary of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip.

(GAZA STRIP) - The international anti-globalization movement is planning a massive solidarity march on 27 Dec. 2009 that would start in Cairo and end in the Gaza Strip with the participation of former presidents Jimmy Carter of the USA and Nelson Mandela of South Africa.

The movement, which also against Zio-American hegemony, said in a press release on Saturday said that the event was dubbed "The Big Freedom" march and would carry the slogan of "Gaza the world conscience".

Edward Said and Barack Obama: A Letter from Gaza

Our only immediate demand is that your administration insures that Israel fulfills its obligations in terms of international law. Is that too much to ask?

(GAZA STRIP) - You will probably not read this letter due to your busy schedule and the huge number of messages you receive from Presidents, Kings, Princes, Sheiks, and Prime Ministers.

Who is a Palestinian academic from GAZA, after all, to have the guts and write an open letter to the President of the United States of America? What has triggered this letter is a picture of your Excellency sitting with the late Palestinian intellectual Edward Said.

Was Homeland Security Created to Protect Those Who Deceived the U.S.?

U.S. deaths in Iraq could top 4,300 this month with more than one million Iraqis dead from the war and from violence unleashed by those who manipulated this alliance to induce an invasion.

(TEMPE, Az.) - Was Fort Hood really the target of a terrorist attack? The first clue to the real culprit emerged when Senator Joe Lieberman sought to blame this mass murder on the U.S. military.

As chairman of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security, he promised hearings on how the Pentagon protects its personnel from domestic terrorists.

Gilad Atzmon: From the River to the Sky

Unlike most Israelis who dismiss the Palestinian cause, Netanyahu admitted today that Palestinians were indeed expelled.

(LONDON) - Let’s once and for all stop getting excited about America mounting pressure on Israel to freeze West Bank settlements. The entire fascination with the topic is a product of Zionist spin. It is there to divert attention from the root cause of the conflict:

The robbery of Palestine and Palestinians in the name of a ‘Jewish home coming’. The call to stop Israeli construction in the West Bank is there to leave us with the false impression that the robbery of Palestine started in 1967.

PAAIA Releases 2009 National Survey of Iranian Americans

Ties between Iranian Americans and Iran remain strong.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - In August of 2008, the Public Affairs of Alliance of Iranian Americans (PAAIA) commissioned Zogby International to conduct a national public opinion survey of Iranian Americans to gather, for the first time, accurate and timely information about the demographics and views of the Iranian American community.

Israel`s Destabilization Strategy Unveiled

What is Israel's Role in the Destabilization of Pakistan?

(TEMPE, Az.) - When waging war "by way of deception," the motto of the Israeli Mossad, well-timed crises play a critical agenda-setting role by displacing facts with what a target population can be deceived to believe.

Thus the force-multiplier effect when staged crises are reinforced with pre-staged intelligence. In combination, the two often prove persuasive.
