Fidel Castro: The Nato Plan Is To Occupy Libya

by SR Editor February 25, 2011

Cuban Revolution leader Fidel Castro said that the government of the United States is not in the least worried about peace in Libya and it will not hesitate in giving NATO the order to invade that rich country, perhaps in a matter of hours or a few short days. Concerning al-Gaddafi he expressed: “I cannot imagine that the Libyan leader would abandon his country”.

Julian Assange and Raymond A. Davis

by Christopher King February 25, 2011

Christopher King considers the cases of two men the USA wants to extradite, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and CIA spy “Raymond A. David”, on remand in Pakistan for murder. He argues that the murky case of “Davis” underlines the need for whistleblowers like Assange.

Maybe Gaza should paddle its own canoe

by Stuart Littlewood February 15, 2011

As the prospects of a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict vanishes thanks to Israel’s land grabs and willful failure to honour agreements it has signed up to, Stuart Littlewood considers the possibility of what is to many Palestinians currently unthinkable: a Palestinian statelet in Gaza and a West Bank that is part of a single Palestinian-Israeli state.

Jeffrey Goldberg’s Anti-Boycott Bluster & Blunder

by Nima Shirazi December 25, 2010

Clearly, Zionist opposition to morally-justifiable boycott – in service of its ethnocentric ideology – is nothing new. But as history has shown, boycotts can succeed despite libelous opposition and propaganda – it just takes time.

The Elders: We need peace in the Middle East, not just process

by Haitham Sabbah December 16, 2010

Israelis and Palestinians must ultimately agree to a solution, but they cannot do it alone.
Without a strategy that can deliver a peace agreement based on a two-state solution, Palestinians will continue to live under Israeli occupation, millions of Palestinian refugees will continue to live without hope and Israel’s survival and security remain under threat. If there is no real progress, more violence is the likely outcome.

Mideast Peace Key to Countering Iran, Arabs Told US Diplomats

by SR Editor December 9, 2010

Gleeful Israeli leaders and their neoconservative supporters here have spent much of the past week insisting that the State Department cables published by WikiLeaks prove that Sunni Arab leaders in the Middle East are far more preoccupied with the threat posed by an ascendant and possibly nuclear Iran than with a resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

But a closer look at the relevant cables shows a far more consistent message to Washington coming from its Arab allies: that curbing Iran and resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are inextricably linked and that the most effective way of achieving the former is make tangible progress on the latter.

Is Julian Assange Europe’s Nelson Mandela?

by Christopher King December 8, 2010

Sweden’s false charges against Mr Assange are not the first time that country has collaborated with aggressors. When the Nazis wanted to seize Norway’s heavy water production plant for their nuclear research, Sweden announced that it was neutral and allowed the Germans to roll straight through the country to Norway. Just ask the Norwegians at the present time about their opinion of Sweden. Those were the days when Britain fought armed aggression rather than supported it.

Wicked WikiLeaks

by Paul J. Balles December 7, 2010

If information related to “the war on terror” is vital to other’s trust or US security, it should have been classified top secret. None of the documents released by WikiLeaks were top secret. “By law, information may not be classified merely because it would be embarrassing or to cover illegal activity; information may only be classified to protect national-security objectives.”

WikiLeaks: What, really, is the problem?

by Alan Hart December 7, 2010

Some commentators, bloggers and other writers, were quick to jump to the conclusion that the avalanche of documents being released by WikiLeaks is part and parcel of an Israeli/Mossad deception strategy. One implication being that WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange is, knowingly or not, manipulated by Zionism.

On the basis of the first two or three days of the Wikileaked revelations as reported by the mainstream media, in America especially, there most definitely was a case for saying that the agenda best served by the leaked diplomatic cables was that of the Zionist state of Israel, its lobby in America and its many stooges in Congress. The essence of the case was in the message that Iran is the biggest single threat to the peace of the region and the world not only because the Israelis say so but also because Arab leaders agree with them.

Dissolving the Union

by Jeff Gates December 7, 2010

Americans do not yet grasp how this money-myopic mindset worked its way into education and imbedded itself in law. Yet our shared embrace of a “consensus” mindset induces us to freely embrace the very forces that now jeopardize our freedom.

There are no winners in this model, only creditors and debtors. The trends are not even good for the financially well-to-do. Lawmakers are right to worry that civil disorder is emerging as a possibility in reaction to growing social discontent.

The Hidden War

by Dr. Elias Akleh December 6, 2010

The world has been lately busy with what could be considered major wars and other low level conflicts. The major wars can be seen in places such as Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, and Palestine, while low level conflicts can be seen in places like Haiti, Somalia, India, and Sudan. Potential future wars are planned to break out in places like Korea, Yemen, and the Persian Gulf region (Iran). Yet all these wars are just distracting symptoms of a hidden war that is still being waged since the beginning of humanity.

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.

AIPAC Ordered Bush To Attack Iran

by Gordon Duff December 5, 2010

In a unique interview with an official at the highest policy levels of the Pentagon, White House and, eventually, CIA, we are offered a unique “behind the curtains” look at areas of policy making during the period between 1999 and 2007. Extensive notes have been taken of meetings with President Bush and all his top policy advisors. This is only a teaser.

A highly placed source within the White House and CIA confirmed, in an interview, that the invasion of Iran was sheduled for 2006 but planned in 1999. We have heard some of this before but not with so many pieces and, I am told, more to come. In an interview with a Bush administration policy official.

Chickens come home to roost: US technology goes to North Korea via Israel and China

by Paul J. Balles December 5, 2010

“The real danger comes in Israel’s habit of reverse engineering US technology and selling to nations hostile to US interests.”

American taxpayers pay to provide military technology to Israel and Israel turns around and sells it to China and others.

Are we worried about Iran’s nuclear aspirations and missile technology? “China sold over 100 missiles and launchers to Iran.” Remember, they were supplied by the US to Israel and sold to the Chinese by Israel.

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.
