by SR Editor April 30, 2011

Cantor is listed on Maplight.org as the top recipient of campaign money from “pro-Israel” groups in the U.S. House of Representatives, having taken in over $200,000.

A Closer Look at Israel’s Role in Terrorism

by Jeff Gates April 30, 2011

Does America have a Muslim Problem?

by Franklin Lamb April 10, 2011

by Paul J. Balles April 10, 2011

Harris and his cronies at the AJC have been working the same charade for years: when the rest of the world focuses on Israeli intransigence, Harris shifts attention to Egypt or Libya or Iran.

Israel: Spoiling for Another Fight?

by James M. Wall April 4, 2011

Revisiting Israel’s Terror War on Gaza

by Stephen Lendman April 4, 2011

Brazen crimes of war and against humanity were committed. No culpable officials were held responsible. Security Council no-fly zone protection wasn’t ordered. International community leaders approved or were silent. Washington was complicit by supplying Israel with weapons, munitions, and encouragement. Obama acts the same as Bush, waging a quartet of lawless wars and using proxies in others.
