We intend to tell the story of how the people of Gaza continue to suffer the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder from the horrific bombardment of Gaza during Operation Cast Lead.

When approaching the base, one passes through an initial checkpoint, where a Hummer topped with a machine-gun nest stands guard. Then there is a 100-yard walk down a narrow corridor between high concrete blast walls, at which point one arrives at a guarded entry point through the wall. I showed my passport and letter, and was escorted through a second layer of blast walls to a little wooden information booth in this still-peripheral circle of defense.

Wilhelm Höttl and the Elusive 'Six Million' by Mark Weber | IHR So ingrained has the Six Million figure become in the popular consciousness that while the average American may be quite sure that six million Jews were slaughtered by the Germans in the Second World War -- that is, in what is now called "the Holocaust" -- he has no idea of how many British, Poles, Russians, or even Americans died during that global conflict, or, for that matter, of how many of his fellow countrymen lost their lives in the American Civil War...

In the worst attack ever carried out on a U.S. Naval vessel in peacetime, 34 American sailors and civilian personnel were killed and 171 more wounded in the two hour assault, which was clearly intended to sink the intelligence-gathering vessel operating in international waters collecting information on the ongoing Six-Day War between Israel and its Arab neighbors...

It was the month in which my own family was forced to leave our home in Jerusalem. Contrary to the official Israeli version, still largely believed, that the Palestinian exodus of 750,000 people -- without which there would be no Israel today -- happened in the fog of war, people like me are living proof that many of us had been forced out of our homeland months earlier... [This is one of the extremely rare times when the truth about Israel’s ethnic cleansing has appeared in the American mainstream press. Time will tell if it represents a new policy for the U.S. media. It is interesting to read the comments. Some are very friendly. The hostile ones rely on the following “arguments”: 1. Palestinians don’t deserve to live in Palestine because they are inferior to Jews (Palestinians “left only cactus” versus Jews “developed the land” thousands of years ago and in modern times.) [FALSE AND RACIST] 2. Palestinian ancestors came from places outside of Palestine, whereas Jews are descended from the original people of Palestine. [FALSE] 3. Some Arabs and some Muslims have done bad things, or may do bad things. [IRRELEVANT. Some Americans do bad things; should they be driven out of the United States?] 4. Muslims have lots of land but where else can Jews go? [FALSE because it equates “Jews going somewhere” with “Jews driving out the non-Jews”] 5.

It's not just Kashmir and the Pakistan-Indian standoff. The Israel-Palestine conflict is the direct result of British colonial policy, as is the infamous Durand line that divides Pashtuns between Afghanistan and Pakistan and fuels the "Af-Pak" war.

Apr 10, 2011 Gaza: Two Years After The Horror, by Haidar Eid | Intifada Palestine  How can I affect what is happening and how can the world respond? This week marks the second anniversary of the horror inflicted on the people of the Gaza Strip. Nothing has changed! Gaza has returned to its pre-invasion state of siege, confronted with the usual international indifference. Two years after the Israeli assault that lasted 22 long days and dark nights, during which its brave people were left alone to face one of the strongest armies in the world, Gaza no longer makes the news. Its people die slowly, its children are malnourished, its water contaminated, and yet it is deprived even of a word of sympathy from the President the United States and the leaders of Europe...Satyagraha: A Poem, by Abdul Karim Sabawi | Palestine Chronicle There are no weapons more lethal than yours No men and horses mightier than yours And of all those who have occupied my land Yours is the darkest, most dreadful occupation You choose to kill But killing is a parasite It will eat away your spirit...

As tensions rise between Iran and America for influence in Lebanon, the issue of loyalty to Lebanon or Israel has entered the public discourse with new intensity.

A Day In The Life Of A "Homegrown Terrorist" by Giordano Bruno | A Voice In The Wilderness There was a time when having one’s name listed in the despised ranks of those villains that governments often categorize as “terrorists” involved quite a bit of leg work, as well as an ominous running resume of death, destruction, and general mean spiritedness. Of course, if one examines the history of every modern country which eventually disintegrated into despotism, the definition of who the “enemy” is tends to become rather broad rather quickly.
