By Nima Shirazi • Mar 10th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Internet and Communication, Israel, Middle East Issues, Newswire, Zionism

Despite a nearly endless barrage of reporting on Iran's nuclear energy program, the US government's push for a new round of sanctions, and on-going efforts to foment regime change in the Islamic Republic, all had been relatively quiet on the Ahmadinejad front in the Western press for some time.
Until now.
The mainstream media's favorite scapegoat, Iranian [...]

By Guest Post • Mar 8th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Culture and Heritage, Grassroots Activism, Ideas and Projects, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

Reading Rifat Kassis's Opinion: Moment of truth (e.i. 4 March 2010) we are inspired to put a halt to the arguments that call for a selective boycott of Israel, and to defy those voices which warn us Palestinians (and many internationalists, for that matter) who criticise Israel for fear of being labelled 'anti-semites' (although we [...]

Khalid Amayreh – The Musa’ab Yousuf Story: a classic example of Israeli disinformation

By Khalid Amayreh • Mar 1st, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Biography, Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

In addition to its protracted war of terror against the Palestinian people, Israel has long waged an unrelenting campaign of psychological warfare against the Palestinian will, aimed at debilitating the domestic front across the occupied territories. The Israeli media, which often operates in sync with the Israeli occupation army and intelligence agencies, readily and routinely [...]



Zahir Ebrahim – Response to John Kaminski's 'Why no Jewish writer can be believed'

By Guest Post • Mar 1st, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Features, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Ideas and Projects, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Religion, Zionism

Often times, as G. Edward Griffin also puts it, the sins of the 'left' are uncovered by their enemies on the 'right', and vice versa. The in-fighting among hegemonic pigs often betrays their criminal secrets. For an astute non-bigoted seeker of truth and justice for all, that's simply the low hanging fruits of the rotten tree to be plucked for forensic analysis.

While Palestinian society continues to be torn apart [...]

By Khalid Amayreh • Feb 27th, 2010 • Category: Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Palestine, War, Zionism

Despite a slight improvement in the general humanitarian situation, the Gaza Strip remains a disaster area. In fact, in terms of the sheer destruction of homes and infrastructure, the coastal enclave can be compared to quake-stricken Haiti, with the main difference lying in the fact that while the Caribbean island’s calamity was a natural disaster, [...]

By Mohamed Khodr • Feb 27th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Arabian Coffee House, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

"Right and wrong are the same in Palestine as anywhere else. What is peculiar about the Palestine conflict is that the world has listened to the party that has committed the offence and has turned a deaf ear to the victims."
–Prof. Arnold Toynbee, Foreword to the Transformation of Palestine, 1971
"Israel may have the right to [...]
