Richard Jones - In Praise of Footwear

By Guest Post • Dec 21st, 2008 • Category: Grassroots Activism, Israel, Music, Poetry, Events, Newswire, Resistance, War

Today, Muntazer Al-Zaidi
Put the finishing touches
To the President’s monument,
A memorial to his shame,

Whose eyes could never keep still
In their search for someone else to blame,
A man ignorant of the graves he [...]

In the United States, a growing number of leftists are voicing their opposition to the Israeli occupation. They condemn the demolition of homes, the jailing of Palestinians without charge, and the confiscation of Palestinian land for settlements. They don't support the Israeli troops or their mission, nor do they give a free pass to those [...]

From The Mouths Of Terrorists: The Poisonous Truth 
Two weeks ago we were talking about the most recent terror propaganda from friends of Mossad and the CIA, an "al Qaeda video" in which al Qaeda's purported number two man, Ayman al-Zawahri, spoke some uncomfortable truths about our transformative new President-elect, Barack Obama.
Zawahri [whose name often [...]

American satirist, Jon Stewart, interviewed Tony Blair on The Daily Show broadcast on the More4 channel on 19 September 2008.  Extracts from it about Blair’s wars are reproduced below.
