IDF Spokesperson: `We DIDN`t say PRC was behind Eilat attack`

If the PRC and Hamas are not the culprits, why is Israel attacking targets in Gaza with overwhelming force?

(TEL AVIV Uruknet.de) - Yesterday morning, I wrote a piece questioning the journalistic ethics of some in the Israeli media and, to a larger extent, the entire international press corps over of their rush to adopt Israel's claim that a Gaza-based terror organization was behind Thursday’s attack near Eilat.

As the attack was unfolding, Israeli warplanes were warming up to carry out airstrikes in the Gaza strip with no concrete proof confirming that the culprits of the attack were from Gaza.

Egyptians Protest at Israeli Embassy, Call for Ambassador`s Expulsion

Many protesters viewed Thursday's violence along the border as an alarming indicator of Israel's plans to dominate the region.

(TEHRAN) - Hundreds of Egyptian activists gathered in front of the Israeli embassy calling for the expulsion of the Israeli embassy from the country following Israeli attacks on Gaza and Egypt's border that claimed the lives of at least three security officers.

London Riots and the Big Picture

Lamentably enough, British politicians seem to be very enthusiastic about ‘moral interventionism’ in other countries.

(LONDON) - It is astonishing to find that the British press that is so quick to tell us about the ‘true’ nature and motivations behind each mass protest in the Arab world, is somehow intellectually lame in its attempt to grasp their own huge scale riots at home.

Until now, I have failed to see even a single worthy analytical attempt to understand the full meaning or significance of the current violent events.

Rebels Without a Cause in London`s Tahrir Square

Are we going to witness another example of multiculturalism failure, or rather provoked to the point of failure, in yet another European capital?”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - A lot of pundits and opinion makers held back from rushing into commenting on the rioting that’s been taking place in London and other British main cities over the last few days.

They were overawed by the unbelievably horrifying and unprecedented pictures of the seemingly mindless thuggery, vandalism and theft that were being broadcast live around the globe.

Why the `Suspect` Muslim Community did Not Join Rioters

Amongst the first rioters brought to court, was a mix of unemployed, university students, a teaching assistant, and a millionaire’s daughter.

(LONDON) - David Cameron echoed thoughts of the political establishment and media when he blamed the rioters as "criminality, pure and simple" and encouraged the use of batons and water cannons.

He said parts of Britain weren't just “broken” but "sick". He expressed impatience with those civil libertarians who had "phony concerns about human rights" of looters.

NATO Planning Military Attack on Iran

Last month, former CIA agent Robert Baer said he is almost certain that such an attack has been scheduled for September ahead of a UN vote on recognizing a Palestinian state".

(SEOUL, Korea) - "Russia's envoy to NATO Dmitry Rogozin says the NATO is planning a military strike against the Islamic Republic to overthrow the Iranian government.

Rogozin said in an interview with Russia's Izvestia daily newspaper published on Friday that the NATO was pursuing a long-reaching goal of preparing an attack on Iran, adding that the alliance intends to change governments whose views do not coincide with those of the West.

With Respect To The `Dossier` on Ken O`Keefe Composed By Mary Rizzo

Contrary to resolution, what Mary's effort accomplishes is continuation of this issue and the taking of sides... Solidarity Lost.

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - A lengthy diatribe composed by Mary Rizzo [12/2010] of Palestine Think Tank (PTT) regarding claims she feels are of major import regarding alleged actions of activist Ken O'Keefe (involved in the Road to Hope convoy of last year that met with numerous obstacles and negative press), is described as a “dossier” by Mary.

In the classic sense, her overdrawn article is anything but a dossier. To some, this may be a minor point but I raise it here to address the issue of clarity and purpose.

A Response To The Transparent Assault Against Ken O`Keefe

Ken is going to survive this bit of nonsense precisely because the people who truly know him will stick with him and those who have or had ulterior motives will drift away.

(WINDSOR, N.H.) - First, and most important in my mind, is that Ken has certainly proven himself as the “genuine” article through all the work he has thus far accomplished with regard to Palestine and for the beautiful Palestinian people.

Anyone who questions this does so with intentionally closed eyes and ears.

The Norway Manifesto: A New Bin Laden Is Born (Video)

“The Norway massacre: Is it a coincidence, is it another 9/11 or is it something that has been brewing for years now and nobody took notice of or saw it coming?” “The termination of Bin Laden was not the end of this madness; rather it was only the beginning.”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Is it a coincidence that the Norway attacks came after almost ten years have passed since the similarly horrific attacks on the towers of the world trade center in new York back in 2001 or what has been known in contemporary history as the 9/11 attacks.

As the world was getting prepared to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the New York attacks and as the world was recovering from the 9/11 trauma and about to leave its heavy and gloomy memories behind and never look back again we wake up to this painfully reminder of 9/11.

How Would Murdoch`s Downfall Affect Israel? Don`t Ask the US Media

Thus far, the Murdoch “hacking scandal” has reached ten former staffers and News Corp executives who have been arrested by British police.

(CHICAGO) - JTA columnist Ron Kampeas has been a lone voice in sounding the alarm to his Jewish readers:

“Pro-Israel leaders in the United States, Britain and Australia are warily watching the unfolding of the phone-hacking scandal that is threatening to engulf the media empire of Rupert Murdoch.”
