Mohamed Khodr – With Blair-Bush Lies, Muslims Died

By Mohamed Khodr • Feb 2nd, 2010 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, Zionism

Not since World War II has one western leader, not even one, ever been charged or prosecuted for war crimes against humanity. While Holocaust museums are being erected around the world, often at taxpayers’ expense, not one single museum in a western capital, with the exception of Latin America, has ever been built to memorialize the genocides against African Americans, Latinos, Africans, Arabs, Muslims, Asians and Aborigines – all victims of imperial holocausts.



Khalid Amayreh – Rising Turkey Versus Receding Arabs

By Khalid Amayreh • Jan 28th, 2010 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Our Authors, Palestine, Religion, Zionism

There is no doubt that the collective Arab situation will continue to deteriorate further until the collective Arab house collapses completely.

This is unless the Arab masses wake up from their dormancy, despair, and apathy, and decide to empower themselves and restore the usurped Arab dignity and freedom.



Sonja Karkar – Israel Must be Held to Account for the Misery in Gaza

World, Jauary 4, 2010 (Pal Telegraph) – They came one cold December day. Not fearless warriors but fearsome hoardes hell-bent on destruction of the genocidal kind that leaves no room for regeneration. That was one year ago in Gaza.
The attack shocked a complacent world into finally seeing Israel's merciless ferocity against the Palestinians already hounded, [...]

Obama bombs Yemen again, as he claims to stand "with those who seek their universal rights."

WRITTEN BY Mozhgan Savabieasfahani
What a charade! 
I learned the word "charade " from my Texan English teacher in Teheran long ago.  I later found out she was the wife of a U.S. military advisor for the Shah's puppet regime. I still remember my teacher's meticulous attention to English pronunciation and her glittering diamonds.  Many such U.S. military families [...]



Nima Shirazi – The New York Crimes: All The Lies That Fit to Print

By Nima Shirazi • Dec 29th, 2009 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Newswire, War

The American political, academic, and media establishment has long been beating the drums of war with Iran and, as the author of New York Times' latest OpEd encouraging the US bombing of that country, University of Texas professor Alan J. Kuperman has now emerged as the Keith Moon of sensational jingoism and, considering his concept of reality, morality, and legality, is probably twice as crazy.



Oslo & the empire – Workers World Editorial

By Guest Post • Dec 19th, 2009 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Features, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, War

It was an historic moment: a Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech that was an apology for an imperialist war of occupation. More than that, it preemptively laid out the justification for U.S. imperialist wars.
Even without hearing the speech, you could measure it by the reactions it evoked. Reactionaries Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin, who have [...]



Ramzy Baroud – Obama's Block to Middle East Peace

By Ramzy Baroud • Dec 16th, 2009 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War

(Bush: We agree to everything that “Israel” agrees to!-Obama: We DON’T agree except on what “Israel” agrees to!!!) by Jalal Al Rifa’i
A just and peaceful solution to the protracted Palestinian-Israeli conflict is only possible when the US ceases to block every attempt made towards it.
The long-held assumption is that a just resolution is one that [...]



The Peace Prize goes to the commander-in-chief of invading armies in Afghanistan and Iraq

By Guest Post • Dec 12th, 2009 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Newswire, War

WRITTEN BY  MOZHGAN SAVABIEASFAHANI 
Is this the best the world can deliver?
A hypocrite who unsuccessfully tries to justify war and aggression on the starved and brutalized people of Iraq and Afghanistan? 
In a silent America, Obama is unchallenged and does all he can to strengthen U.S. ties with Israel (as the rest of the world contemplates boycotts of [...]



Saja – With "friends" like Juan Cole…

By Saja • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: Arabian Coffee House, Biography, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Newswire, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War

Juan Cole is an expert on the Middle East. He knows Arabic and Farsi and probably a handful of other languages. He knows more about the Arabic and Islamic world than most Arabs and Muslims can hope to learn in a lifetime. But he supports the empire. I have attended one of his lectures in which [...]
