=== Actions are held to be good or bad, not on their own merits,
but according to who does them. There is almost no kind of
outrage-----torture, imprisonment without trial, assassination, the
bombing of civilians-----which does not change its moral color when
it is committed by our side. The nationalist not only does not
disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, he has a
remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them. -----George
Orwell

"The 20th century has been characterized by three developments of
great political importance: The growth of democracy, the growth of
corporate power, and the growth of corporate propaganda as a means
of protecting corporate power against democracy." Alex Carey:
= Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought!
Strike against manufacturing shrapnel and gas bombs and all other
tools of murder! Strike against preparedness that means death and
misery to millions of human beings! Be not dumb, obedient slaves
in an army of destruction! Be heroes in an army of construction! :
Helen Keller
= Don't be deceived when they tell you things are better now. Even
if there's no poverty to be seen because the poverty's been hidden.
Even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of
these new and useless goods which industries foist on you and even
if it seems to you that you never had so much, that is only the
slogan of those who still have much more than you. Don't be taken
in when they paternally pat you on the shoulder and say that there's
no inequality worth speaking of and no more reason to fight because
if you believe them they will be completely in charge in their
marble homes and granite banks from which they rob the people of
the world under the pretence of bringing them culture. Watch out,
for as soon as it pleases them they'll send you out to protect their
gold in wars whose weapons, rapidly developed by servile scientists,
will become more and more deadly until they can with a flick of the
finger tear a million of you to pieces: Jean Paul Marat

=== Leviathan run amok
By Pepe Escobar
The perception in the Arab street - as well as for most of the

=== "The Insane Brutality of the State of Israel"
Atrocities in the Promised Land
By Kathleen Christison
It needs to be said now, loudly: those who devise and carry out
Israeli policies have made Israel into a monster, and it has come
time for all of us -- all Israelis, all Jews who allow Israel to
speak for them, all Americans who do nothing to end U.S. support
for Israel and its murderous policies -- to recognize that we stain
ourselves morally by continuing to sit by while Israel carries out
its atrocities against the Palestinians.

=== One Giant Gaza Strip from the Caspian to the Red Sea
By Mike Whitney
Israels rationale is merely an apology for state terrorism and its
utterly meaningless in respect to the enormous damage theyve caused.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14036.htm
=== Israel's path to total war
By Kaveh L Afrasiabi
Despite dire warnings by certain US politicians, such as Senator
John Warner, the Bush administration has failed to call on Israel
to halt its offensive, opting instead to focus on Syria and Iran -
reminding one of the Vietnam War when Moscow or Peking (Beijing)
were often blamed for the efforts of the North Vietnamese.
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article14038.htm
=== Writing with their childrens blood.
By Sam Bahour
Israels disregard for the rule of law, let alone the well-being of
its own captured soldiers, coupled with the USs blind and public
support of every Israeli violation of UN resolutions and acts of
aggression is the foundation that was poured to allow for Israels
current rampage.

war on terror. Predictably, the BBC obliged by regurgitating this

=== Patrick J. Buchanan: Where are the Christians?:
Israel's rampage against a defenseless Lebanon smashing airport
runways, fuel tanks, power plants, gas stations, lighthouses,
bridges, roads and the occasional refugee convoy has exposed Bush's
folly in subcontracting U.S. policy out to Tel Aviv, thus making
Israel the custodian of our reputation and interests in the Middle
East.

systematically trashes such fundamental American values as justice,
due process, respect for human rights and submission to the rule
of law.
