The Founding Fathers, and Mother, of Israel
By Earlaiman
Only by their actions have they spelled out more clearly their deliberate and premeditated intent, which provides more than adequate self-incrimination for condemnation and conviction as perpetrators of War Crimes, Genocide, and other Crimes Against Humanity.
When will enough be enough? When the last Palestinian is [...]

Jeff Gates – Today's Ancient Warfare: Facts vs. Beliefs

By Haitham Sabbah • Nov 10th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Haitham's Choice, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

By Jeff Gates *
In unconventional warfare, manipulated beliefs are used to displace inconvenient facts. When waging war by way of deception, false beliefs are an oft-deployed weapon.
Recall Iraqi weapons of mass destruction? Iraqi ties to Al Qaeda? Iraqi mobile biological weapons laboratories? Iraqi meetings in Prague with Al Qaeda? Iraqi purchases of yellowcake uranium [...]

By Guest Post • Nov 10th, 2009 • Category: Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Ideas and Projects, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, Zionism

A response to the first entry in Palestine Think Tank and Tlaxcala's First Word War:
“Logos", plural “Logoi” is Greek , meaning “Word” or “Reason”. In Arabic “Kalimah” means “Word”, Plural “Kalaam” Hence, “’Elmul-Kalam” means “Science of word” which means “Linguistics”. It is also worth mentioning that the “word” is sharper than a mighty sword.
Well, linguistically [...]



AshkeNazi threatens Gaza with another “little holocaust”

By Khalid Amayreh • Nov 10th, 2009 • Category: Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Palestine, War, Zionism

WRITTEN BY KHALID AMAYREH
There seems to be a perfect conformity between Gabi Ashkenazi and his last name. The Israeli chief of staff is considered one of the main Israeli  war criminals responsible for the virtual genocide against the Gaza Strip during the past winter. On his murderous hands, he carries tons of innocent blood, including [...]

By Mary Rizzo • Nov 7th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Israel, Mary's Choice, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

WRITTEN BY Zahir Ebrahim
In Response to Jeff Gates' At What Cost the Israel Lobby?
Jeff Gates at www.criminalstate.com, on the issue of Israeli Nuclear weapons, after exploring JFK's (perceived) role, observes of the immediate pertinent question at hand:

'Special Standard for a Special Friend Due to its “special relationship” with the U.S., Tel Aviv remains a non-signatory to [...]



Abbas admits failure of the peace process

By Khalid Amayreh • Nov 6th, 2009 • Category: Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Palestine, Zionism

It is hard to think how Abbas can redeem and rectify some of his blunders. Some of his sins, such as the security coordination with Israel, can never be forgiven.

But Abbas can still embark on some daring steps to salvage things before it is too late.

At the top of these steps should be the orderly dismantling of the Palestinian Authority under whose rubric the national Palestinian cause is being liquidated.

Failure to do so, under whatever pretexts and excuses, would only mean legitimizing the colonial Israeli scheme and capitulating to the status quo.

Let us get rid of the big lie and confront ourselves with the all too-clear fact that the colonialist Zionist occupation of our country never really receded and that the Oslo Agreement was a deception from A to Z. We must tell our people that the PA is not a phase toward liberation from Zionist tyranny, as we have been told, but is rather an instrument for the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.
