The Two Faces of the United Nations: The Power of Israel and its Lobby

by Mohamed Khodr December 23, 2011

Lockerbie Libya Syria; Who To Frame Next

by Dr. Christof Lehmann September 21, 2011

New evidence in the Pan Am 103 bombing over Lockerbie is clearing the name of Abdelbaset Al Megrahi, who was convicted and sentenced during the Camp Zeist Trial. As many intelligence experts have suggested for years, the evidence is leading towards persons in Germany, with ties to the Palestinian Front For the Liberation of Palestine – General Command, PFLP-GC.

Children and War

by SR Editor June 16, 2011

How you feels about the USA torturing and killing children in places like Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Yemen.

Against criticism: Shameful traits of the USA and Israel

by Paul J. Balles December 15, 2010

Life in Palestinian Refugee Camps
