We're a progressive email list and we're talking about it.

Every time I see a reference in the media to DKos or Huffington Post (where I was also banned for rejecting the official narrative), I realize just how controlled our media is (including a good portion of the so-called progressive net).

For the record, the rest of the posters are pretty supportive of fairness in dealing with Palestinians and reject much of Israeli propaganda. But as the saying goes, it's the nail that sticks out that gets hammered down.

Glad the voices here have not been silenced.

Trouble in the Other Middle East
By Robert D. Kaplan, a national correspondent for The Atlantic and a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security.
The divisions we split the world into during the cold war have at long last crumbled thanks to the Mumbai terrorist attacks. No longer will we view South Asia as a region distinct from the Middle East. Now there is only one long continuum stretching from the Mediterranean to the jungles of Burma, with every crisis from the Israeli-Palestinian dispute in the west to the Hindu-Muslim dispute in the east interlocked with the one next door…. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/12/08/opinion/08kaplan.html?th&emc=th

U.S. media has historically dominated the psywar propaganda against Arab national liberation movements under the banner of 'protecting' the illegitimate settler entity, its fellow-fascist attack-dog that also serves u.s. imperialist interests from Africa to Central and Latin America, in exchange for its deadly existence.

For ex. in this current escalation of USRAELI genocide, note how the u.s. 'progressive' dem/obama left eagerly incriminates israel, letting its u.s. master and partner off the hook, except for peripheral mention of u.s. supplied weapons.

We must expose the 'headmaster' to get to the root of the state terror so people can politically act accordingly.
