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.

The Mysterious Collapse of WTC 7

by SR Editor March 5, 2011

WTC 7 had not been hit by a plane, so it was apparently the first steel-framed high-rise building in the known universe to have collapsed because of fire alone.

Support Your Own Illegal Israeli Settlement [Satire]

by Mantiq al-Tayr February 26, 2011

Our inaugural voyage into the realm of illegal Israeli settlements is the lovely (and did I mention illegal?) town of Ariel, which lies not far from Nablus and which the Jewish Virtual Liebrary has the chutzpahpahpah to call “the capital of Samaria.”

Israel’s whitewash report into the Mavi Marmara massacre

by Richard Lightbown February 9, 2011

Richard Lightbown examines the flawed evidence considered by the Turkel Commission, the phoney inquiry set up by the Israeli government to investigate the Gaza flotilla raid and the blockade of Gaza, which exonerated the Israeli military of the murder of nine humanitarian aid workers aboard the Gaza-bound Turkish aid ship Mavi Marmara.

Free Jonathan Pollard [Satire]

by Mantiq al-Tayr January 7, 2011

They are afraid to ask for anything more than clemency for Pollard. Hell, everyone in this country has known since they were tall enough to kiss Frank’s ass without having to stand on a stool that over 90 % of the members of the House and Senate would line up single file in a snowstorm outside of the Israeli embassy in Washington to give Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren a blow job if they were ordered to do so by Israel, so what’s this crap about just asking for clemency? And only 39 congressmen have signed the thing up until now! Oh my Allah, what has this world come to?

How Many More Must Die for Israel? [Satire]

by Mantiq al-Tayr December 6, 2010

I have heard at least two pretty good alternative media types the past few months talk about an interesting aspect of Israel’s obsession regarding Iran’s ever acquiring even one nuclear weapon. The theory, discussed months before the latest deluge of Wikiwitzleaks documents, says that Iran’s having a nuclear weapon would mean that even fewer Jews would immigrate to Israel to live on land stolen from the Palestinians and that in fact Israel might even have a net exodus some day if Iran gets a nuke. And of course, this would mean that the Arabs, who seem to like to have sex a lot, being Arabs and all, would then quickly outnumber the Jews and then Israel would be like South Africa, etc, etc. Actually, Israel would have to improve in order to become what South Africa used to be, but I digress.

Nahr al-Bared reconstruction delay throws civil rights into spotlight

by SR Editor December 4, 2010

The Nahr al-Bared refugee camp highlights every aspect of the problematic relationship between Lebanon and the Palestinian refugees within its borders. However, the Lebanese government would be better served by viewing the camp as a chance to radically change the traditionally conflict-ridden relationship in which Palestinians are only viewed as a “security issue.” This could be achieved by respecting Palestinians’ civil rights and seriously engaging in the reconstruction of the camp.

WikiLeaks Exposes Israeli Mafia’s Growing Influence

by SR Editor December 4, 2010

Ominously, the cable goes on to bemoan the fact that Israeli organized crime figures are no longer automatically prevented from entering the US due to a change in the rules. “Visas Shark” was apparently a program that effectively excluded organized crime figures from the US, and its termination is noted here: instead, the embassy must go through a complex bureaucratic procedure in order to exclude a suspected organized crime member.

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People

by Stephen Lendman December 3, 2010

Like men and women, children also endure violence and abuse, notably in Occupied Palestine. Given America’s child prison population, how harshly they’re treated, and Washington’s appalling human rights record and support for Israel, only grassroots pressure might get either country to reform, but only if sustained relentlessly, a campaign well worth initiating.

The Wiki Hoax

by Gordon Duff December 3, 2010

Nobody, at least nobody typically “answerable” will say the word “Israel” but it is what they mean when they say “intelligence agency.” They mean Israel. Every Wikileak does something to help Israel in a different way at a different time. If Israel has a problem, a Wikileak is there., part of the solution. This time, Secretary Clinton was in the way and Wikileaks showed up to gut the State Department and give Israel the usual “buff and polish” job they usually do.

Friends of Israel – Enemies Inside the Gates [Video]

by Anthony Lawson November 26, 2010

Recently, political pressure has been brought to bear against a trades unionist KEVIN BRACKEN, for attempting to express his views about the events of 9/11, on Australia’s publicly funded broadcaster, the ABC. This video redresses the balance, and makes it clear that Australia’s prime minister is either ignorant, beyond belief, or she is putting the interests of nuclear, Apartheid Israel ahead of Australia’s.

Israeli and American Rankings on Violence and Corruption

by Stephen Lendman November 15, 2010

As a result, although America ranks low at 85 (above the 94 average) behind Rwanda, Indonesia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Egypt, it deserves a bottom position for imperial wars. In addition, numerous countries score low because of American and/or Israeli direct or indirect meddling. They might be relatively peaceful without it.

Justifiably, Israel ranked 144, besting only Pakistan, Sudan, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Iraq in descending order, Iraq ranking last, but Afghanistan is just as bad or worse.

The parcel bomb plot: Al-Qaeda’s gift to Israel

by Maidhc Ó Cathail November 14, 2010

Ever since an Israeli firm let the Christmas Day crotch bomber “slip through” security at Schiphol Airport without a passport, a few influential voices with close ties to Israel have been instrumental in making Yemen “the new buzzword”.

The US may be walking into a bit of a trap,” warns Gregory Johnsen, a Yemen expert and doctoral candidate at Princeton University’s Department of Near Eastern Studies. Israel must be very grateful indeed for this latest terror scare. If Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula did not exist, they might have to invent it.

Wholesale Treason, Why Israel Bought Congress

by Gordon Duff November 14, 2010

It isn’t a “Jewish thing,” AIPAC got rid of 6 Jews who were too “pro-American” for their tastes. The last thing it is about is the security of Israel, a regional bully, a small land of ICBMs, germ warfare labs and warehouses loaded with American munitions which they sell around the world. Israel and its thuggish “American” lobby terrifies a lot of people, congress, journalists certainly and as Noam Chomsky continually points out, its own citizens.

There is a real threat against Israel, one they perceive but many Americans are unaware of yet. Israel is terrified of a new 9/11 investigation. Even Noam Chomsky, top critic of many Israeli policies, had always stopped short of debunking 9/11. He was their last line of defense, Chomsky and Jon Stewart, pseudo-progressive “hand puppet.”

Yemen: Al Qaeda Presence Not Credible

by Gordon Duff November 13, 2010

With early news stories being continually contradicted, bombs that weren’t really bombs heading out on flights that never existed, carrying packages for companies that don’t service Yemen, all heading for Chicago synagogues, part of the wildest “persecution complex” of all time, the whole “Al Qaeda/Yemen” thing has been little more than a “borscht belt” comedy act.
