Raid Khoury – Christian Arabs remain the best situated to combat the demonization of Islam

Arabs — both Muslims and Christians — have been the target of a ferocious propaganda campaign in this country. Responding to this onslaught is more than enough to keep them busy without having to contend with a contingent of self-hating Arabs and religious agitators in their midst. As an Arab who happened to be born into a Christian family, I cannot remain silent as individuals on the margins of the Arab American community are enlisted in this demonization campaign as representatives of Christian Arabs. For Christian Arabs their Christianity is an indigenous religion, and Islam is their indigenous civilization.

'Emad W. Nazzal-Pales – As they say: we're terrorists

"The world stood silent, while we urged for help. The world turned their heads, while we were being slaughtered. The world turned deaf to our screams for help. They laughed with joy to the screams of pain, and sipped on their liquor while amusing themselves listening to the screams of the raped ones. They were [...]

Gaza in Plain Language [Video]

Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFK5TNcmEmg It really is time that the story of what is being done to the oppressed people of Gaza gets as wide a coverage as possible, in these days of overt and blatant mainstream-media bias for Zionist Israel. If it arouses your anger and compassion as much as it did mine, when reading Joe Mowrey's [...]

Jeff Gates – Christmas Day Crotch Bomber Tied to Israel, FBI

By Jeff Gates The Christmas Day "terrorist" is the latest in a series of staged incidents meant to make The Clash of Civilizations appear plausible and "the war on terrorism" rational. The storyline does not hold together. Not even a little bit. As usual, the source of this media-fueled fear campaign traces directly to Tel Aviv-with a [...]

Jeff Gates – Time for an American Intifada?

By Jeff Gates* During the 1960 Christmas season, Americans flocked to the theaters to see Exodus, a 3-1/2 hour epic film featuring handsome freedom fighters and a riveting romance amidst the heroic triumph of Jewish Destiny over Arab Evil Doers. Set against a Yuletide backdrop of Biblical prophecy, moviegoers marveled as exiled Jews returned to their [...]

Gaza in Plain Language: a video by Anthony Lawson and Joe Mowrey

Anthony Lawson and Joe Mowrey have created an amazing video.  The narrative is from an article published not long ago in Dissident Voice written by Mr. Mowrey.  A video that narrates just what happened, without emotion… just the facts, ma'am! Share it with those you know! Now on PTT TV so Google and YouTube can't censor this [...]

Alan Hart – Please, Mr. President, Stop Talking Nonsense

By Alan Hart At a town hall meeting in Tampa, Florida on 28 January, President Obama explained what in his view had to happen if there is to be a two-state solution which would see Israel and the Palestinians living side by side in peace and security. He said, "Both sides are going to have to [...]

Alison Weir – NYT's Israel Editor's Sticky Situation

Ethan Bronner's Conflict With Impartiality By Alison Weir* Ethan Bronner is the New York Times Jerusalem bureau chief. As such, he is the editor responsible for all the news coming out of Iasrael-Palestine. Iact is his job to decide what gets reported and what doesn't; what goes in a story and what gets cut. To a considerable degree, [...]

Maidhc Ó Cathail – The Source of the Economic Crisis: A Chicago State of Mind

By Maidhc Ó Cathail* Worried about the global economic crisis? It's all in your head, says a leading financial expert. And that's the problem, according to Jeff Gates, author of the highly-regarded Democracy At Risk: Rescuing Main Street From Wall Street, a sequel to The Ownership Solution: Toward A Shared Capitalism For The 21st Century. The latter [...]

Palestine Strategy Study Group: Prerequisites for an effective strategy

The Palestine Strategy Study Group strongly urges fellow Palestinians to seize their destiny in their own hands by refusing even to enter these other discourses until it is appropriate to do so and to focus all their energies on explaining and promoting the prior Palestinian discourse. The appropriate discourse uses the language, not of peacemaking or statebuilding, but of national self-determination, of liberation, of emancipation from occupation, of individual and collective rights, of international law. This must be the primary discourse. Only when the priorities defined within the primary Palestinian discourse of emancipation are recognised can the hitherto rightly subordinated discourses of peacemaking and statebuilding move properly into the foreground. It is essential in strategic thinking to take constant account of how the chessboard looks from the perspective of the opponent. This is fundamental. A player who does not do this - who only looks at the board from its own perspective - will never be a grandmaster. Such a player will lose. The strategic purpose is to exert mounting pressure on the opponent to act as we want. This can only be done if we understand what the opponent desires and fears, and the sources and limits of the opponent’s power. The same applies to inducing third parties to behave in the ways we want them to.

Ramzy Baroud – Gaza and Lebanon: Beware the Iron Wall, the Coming War

The Israeli military may be much less effective in winning wars than it was in the past, thanks to the stiffness of Arab resistance. But its military strategists are as shrewd and unpredictable as ever. The recent rhetoric that has escalated from Israel suggests that a future war in Lebanon will most likely target Syria [...]

Russell Tribunal on Palestine coming soon

The recent war waged by the Israeli government and the Israeli army on the Gaza Strip, already under a blockade, underlines the particular responsibility of the United States and of the European Union in the perpetuation of the injustice done to the Palestinian people, deprived of its fundamental rights. It is important to mobilize the international [...]

Statement of Support for Mohammad Bakri, Director of "Jenin Jenin"

WRITTEN BY ANTOINE RAFFOUL BACKGROUND: In April 2002, Israel launched Operation Defensive Shield by invading the Palestinian refugee camp of Jenin, south of Nazareth. In this operation which lasted about 8 days and followed a suicide bomb attack on the Israeli town of Netanya. Israel deployed 30,000 reserve soldiers against a camp population of 33,000 refugees. It sealed [...]

Antoine Raffoul – Why must Palestinians accept post-1967 land theft?

The Partition of Palestine was an illegal act imposed on our weak and defenseless people by the force of zionist lobbying and American bribery of nations whose votes were necessary to create a Zionist entity in our midst. If that Partition is a reality by virtue of a UN vote, why should our people accept what the rest of the world takes for granted: 1967. Hamas leaders or Palestinian Authority leaders cannot bestow legality on an act which has never been ratified by the Palestinian people. Individuals do not speak for the masses without a vote.

Mohamed Khodr – With Blair-Bush Lies, Muslims Died

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.

Franklin Lamb – Why We Petition For Palestinian Civil Rights in Lebanon

“We don't have to engage in grand, heroic actions to participate in the process of change or resistance. Small acts, when multiplied by many people, can transform the world” “If we remember those times and places–and there are so many–where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the [...]

Salim Nazzal – Zionists can threaten but can not intimidate me

WRITTEN BY Salim Nazzal – At the beginning I got “strange” e-mails which hinted towards assassination and the like. The Zionist character in these e-mails was obvious. I simply paid no attention. I know Zionists fear the voice of the victims. My voice is the voice of my people who were murdered and uprooted from [...]

Dear all,

A few days ago, I finally followed Arlo's advice and created a C4P on Facebook.  Arlo was certainly right and I should have done this long ago!  In only a few days, the FB group already counts 121 members; the Ning group after one year counts 128 members.

You might want to consider joining the FB group where there will be a lot more action.  This is only for the members who do participate.  As for those who have the time to post on all networks except on this one, I do
