A racist Jewish state
By Haaretz Editorial
Every day the Knesset has the option of passing laws that will advance Israel as a democratic Jewish state or turn it into a racist Jewish state. There is a very thin line between the two. This week, the line was crossed. If the Knesset legal counselor did not consider [...]

The following letter is self explanatory. Please read and act:
Dear Reader,
We @ thepeoplesvoice.org need your help! Anti-democratic forces have succeeded in making Google take us off its news list. It is important for web sites like ours to be listed there, so that more people will have access to alternative points of view, not [...]
The op-eds were by Hamas’s Ahmed Yousef, and were attacked by the usual suspects - CAMERA, the Anti-Defamation League, the Zionist Organization of America.

Hamas blames PA officials for interfering in British hostage case and alleged that officials from the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah coaxed British hostage kidnappers not to release him. “We have monitored calls coming from Ramallah telling the kidnappers not to release the hostage, so Hamas won’t get credit for it,” Abu Zahri claimed.

1. Is There a ‘Foxification’ Underway at Al Jazeera Television?
By Danny Schechter (Source: MediaChannel)
Sources inside Al Jazeera who are in a position to know what is going on now confirm to MediaChannel.org that there is an internal struggle underway that may dilute Al Jazeera’s independence and steer it in a more pro-western, pro-US direction.

Israel is Investigating soldier use of Palestinian human shields
Remember the video that showed some IOF using some Palestinian Youths as Human Shields in Nablus? Finaly, Israel is now investigating soldier for this crime. I have no doubt that the soldiers will face no charges or get sentence for such crimes, but I hope that I [...]

Al Hurra television, the U.S. government’s $63 million-a-year effort at public diplomacy broadcasting in the Middle East, is run by executives and officials who cannot speak Arabic, according to a senior official who oversees the [...]
Don’t miss this one. It just reflects part of the dilemma in the American society under Bush leadership.
I really feel sorry for those who are dying in Iraq, Afghanistan and everywhere else to fulfill the Ziocon’s dreams.

Until couple of days ago, Oprah was one of the favorite show for my family, but it looks like we have to think of that again.
According to the Israeli press, Oprah is going to Israel for a “solidarity” visit. Coming from someone like Oprah, she should be sympathizing with the oppressed and above all, not showing solidarity with a racist state. Most surprising is that the word “apartheid” has no meaning for her or “ethnic cleansing.”
Despite gains made to make ‘occupation’ the frame of reference in understanding what is going on in the Occupied Palestine, to a large extent the occupation continues to remain “invisible”.
The occupation’s invisibility is mainly credited to propaganda-influenced media reports. Repeated studies of the media’s coverage of Palestine/Israel have highlighted the prevalent pro-Israeli bias. A bias [...]
1. What ‘Israel’s right to exist’ means to Palestinians
By John V. Whitbeck (Source: The Christian Science Monitor)
“Recognizing Israel” or any other state is a formal legal and diplomatic act by one state with respect to another state. It is inappropriate – indeed, nonsensical – to talk about a political party or movement extending diplomatic recognition [...]
Poll Report on the War on Terrorism
What do American citizens get from their media? How far true is what they see and hear? Who are the good/bad media outlets in U.S. and what is their agenda? What role does the U.S. media play in unveiling/hiding the truth? and what are American citizens missing in their [...]

Speaker Pelosi: After Damascus… Tehran?
SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE NANCY PELOSI should be applauded for taking a bipartisan group of Congressmen to Damascus to talk with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Her visit, which was sharply criticized by President Bush and Vice President Cheney, was clearly in the national interest.
Taking a tip from the Iraq Study [...]
The National Union of Journalists has voted at its annual meeting for a boycott of Israeli goods as part of a protest against last year’s war in Lebanon.

Media seeks public access in upcoming AIPAC lobbyists’ trial:
News organizations filed documents in federal court Monday opposing a government request to close portions of an upcoming trial of two former pro-Israel lobbyists accused of violating the Espionage Act.
Media organizations, including The Associated Press, are concerned the government wants to keep large portions of evidence in [...]
Thanks to the Israeli press, people in Israel are informed regularly about their government’s mistreatment of the 4.5 million Palestinians under their rule. Most of the information regarding the occupation of Palestine and the oppression of its people is well documented and accurately reported in the Israeli press. But even the most serious offenses are [...]
“What are you doing putting this stuff out there? You’re killing us!”
These were the words of Abraham Foxman, executive director of the infamous Anti-Defamation League, considered by many in the know to be nothing more than a domestic branch of Israel’s intelligence service Mossad.
According to an explosive piece recently appearing in the online edition of [...]
In the war of words, The Times is Israel’s ally. The paper consistently adopts Israel’s language, giving credence to an inaccurate, simplistic and dangerous cliche.
(By Saree Makdisi)
No issue better illustrates Orwell’s point than coverage of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the United States. Consider, for example, the editorial in The Times on Feb. 9 demanding that [...]
