"...while much can be said about the need for Palestinians to look at themselves in the mirror and put a stop to their infighting, there is no way out of this issue except by ending the occupation and the siege and providing Palestinians, young and old, with direction and a true source of hope."

"Almost half of the listed dictators will face the fate of Saddam Hussein at the hands of their people, provided the puppet-masters in London and Washington either leave the directly and indirectly occupied nations alone, or the super-dictators in UK and US are brought to justice by their respective nations for their crimes against humanity."

"This is a war of ‘colonial pacification’ of Islamic lands: the Muslims must be ‘pacified’ to secure ‘our’ oil wells in the Persian Gulf, and to entrench Israeli hegemony over the Middle East. This is also a religious war for the radical core of American evangelicals; it fits into their theology of end times. We ignore this only at our peril."

"For over fifty-years the US has depended on the rulers and the resources of the Muslims world to achieve its status as the world’s sole super power. Indeed without the support of rulers and resources of the Muslim world, America could not have won any of the gulf war or defeated the Soviets in Afghanistan and won the cold war."

"The RC Bishops in the U.S. are against abortion. Most of the RC laity is against it, too. They get the message from the Bishops on that issue. Yet, these same Bishops, and the Pope, too, are also, on moral grounds, against the war in Iraq. Nevertheless, that idea, strangely, hasn’t gotten down to most of the faithful. William Hughes asks Cardinal William Keeler why."

"This is a provocation against 1.3 billion Muslims, and especially against the Arab world. It is a knife in the back of the "moderate" Mahmoud Abbas, with whom Olmert pretends to be ready to have a "dialogue" - and this at exactly the moment Abbas reached an historical agreement with Hamas for the formation of a national unity government. It is also a knife in the back of the king of Jordan, Israel's ally, who sees himself as the traditional protector of the Temple Mount."

"The Western response was telling. After years of ignoring the plight of the Somalis, they suddenly discovered that they needed to be ‘liberated’ from the forces of “Islamo-fascism”, and immediately launched political war on the new government. When all else failed, they encouraged Ethiopia to invade in support of “president” Abdullahi Yusuf, another warlord. They supported the Ethiopians from behind the scenes, and then came into the open once Mogadishi had been captured and success was assured. Today Mogadishu is in fear and chaos again."

"Time described the Harman/AIPAC investigation as a “spin-off” of the investigation that led to the charges against Rosen and Weissman, as well as to a 12-and-a-half year prison sentence against Larry Franklin. The former Pentagon Iran specialist pleaded guilty to improper disclosure of classified information about the Middle East to the two AIPAC lobbyists, who in turn were indicted for passing it on to a journalist and to a foreign government—in the words of Time magazine, “believed to be” Israel."
