Obama at the UN: the Speech that Might Have Been

by William A. Cook September 21, 2011

My friends, it is time to speak truth to power. A postscript introduces this talk: “Man’s capacity for justice makes democracy possible, but man’s inclination to injustice makes democracy necessary.” I have had to face the excoriating judgment of Frederick Douglass, “There is not a nation on the earth guilty of practices , more shocking and bloody, than are the people of these United States, at this very hour”.

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. Why is it, that the new evidence is produced now, at a time, where the USA, EU, and NATO have installed the TNC in Tripoli, and have initiated an armed insurgency into Syria in preparation of NATO´s neo-colonial ambitions in Northern Africa and the Middle East.

Israel’s panic-stricken UK fans urge more lopsided negotiations

by Stuart Littlewood September 21, 2011

Note the old trick of emphasising Israel’s security while planting the idea that Palestine must make do with a barely “viable” existence. You never hear these jokers talk about a secure Palestine and a viable Israel.

Palestine – Hope or Despair?

by Alan Hart September 21, 2011

A Litany of Diplomatic Failures in US and Europe

by SR Editor September 21, 2011

The Palestinians want to declare their own state this week after 60 years of Israeli occupation. Washington, Jerusalem and Berlin are all trying to prevent the move. However, the Arab Spring has created new realities in the Middle East that can no longer be addressed solely by diplomatic means. As European and American influence wanes, Turkey is seeking to fill the void.

by Stephen Lendman September 20, 2011

In derogation of his sworn mandate, he solely represents dominant interests. Notably they’re those of Washington, Israel, and their imperial partners, ravaging targeted countries to carve up their corpses for profit.

If Israel acts unilaterally since 63 years, why shouldn’t we

by Khalid Amayreh September 20, 2011

There is a zero per cent probability that negotiations with Israel, even if such negotiations lasted for a hundred years, would achieve positive results.

Hence, the remaining alternative is that the Palestinian people must act independently, even unilaterally to achieve their legitimate goals. After all, If Israel acts unilaterally as it has been doing since its misbegotten creation 63 years ago, why shouldn’t we.

Let Palestine be Palestine: Letter to President Obama

by SR Editor September 20, 2011

We are hypocrites when we claim to want justice for the Palestinians but we do nothing meaningful to help achieve this. We will damage our position in the Islamic world-not merely the Arab World—for untold years to come. We will become the object of retribution throughout the Muslim world, and will give new energy to the lagging efforts of al-Qaida to retaliate against us.

All alone on Israel island

by Yousef Munayyer September 19, 2011

The US’ veto next week at the UN will be the 43rd time it has been the solitary veto on resolutions condemning Israel. The United States knows that being an impediment to Palestinian self-determination on an international stage is only becoming costlier. The United States is consistently acting against its own interests to serve the interest of a right-wing Israeli government.

Palestinian U.N. bid teaches us about America

by Sam Bahour September 19, 2011

The case of Palestine’s bid for U.N. membership is teaching us more about the United States than it is about the stubborn Middle East. The Palestinian action is not really news. Far more newsworthy is how the United States and Israel have reacted — with total hysteria.

Erdogan: Israel is the West’s Spoiled Child

by James M. Wall September 18, 2011

When the US casts that veto at the UN, Obama will be rejecting an important segment of those progressive supporters who, in 2008, walked the streets for him and brought voters to the polls because they believed he would be a different kind of president. The PEPs (Progressive except on Palestine) won’t care, but peace and justice volunteers will.

The FBI is teaching its counterterrorism agents that “main stream” [sic] American Muslims are likely to be terrorist sympathizers; that the Prophet Mohammed was a “cult leader”; and that the Islamic practice of giving charity is no more than a “funding mechanism for combat.”

Israel Does Not Want a Palestinian State. Period.

by SR Editor September 16, 2011

What will we tell the world next week, at the UN? What could we say? Whether in the General Assembly or the Security Council, we will be exposed in all our nakedness: Israel does not want a Palestinian state. Period. And it doesn’t have a single persuasive argument against the establishment and the international recognition of such a state.
