Middle East Perspective on Obama`s New Position on Palestine

Nothing comes easy...

(SALEM, Ore.) - When our writer Ken O'Keefe recommends a particular story as the most accurate reflection of Middle east developments, we pay attention.

Includes the release of Agron Belica's new song: 'Sermon from the Throne'.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Tim King: Agron, you mention in your song that the Prophet Yahya (John the Baptist) was not beheaded. Explain to me the words in your song, “The Quran does not agree, and history never said it”

Is Israel Waging a Military Assault on Intellectuals?

Professor Mazin Qumsiyeh has been arrested again by Israeli occupational forces. - Originally published in May 2011.

(SALEM, Ore.) - We continue to be horrified and amazed that Israel targets intellectuals in this way, but then the first thing the Nazi's did to Jewish resistance was to eliminate the ranks of academics and journalists.
