Navy Recruiter Arrested for Luring a Minor

The Beaverton Police Department believes there may be other victims. If you know information about this crime or past incidents, please call 503-629-0111.

(PORTLAND, Ore.) - Monday at 8:45 a.m. the Beaverton Police Department received a call from Sunset High School, where a student had reported to her school counselor that she had been receiving inappropriate text messages from a Navy Recruiter.

The recruiter, 25-year old Phillip Marcel Chartier, works full time as a recruiter for the United States Navy. Local high schools are one of the many areas Navy recruiters encompass in hopes of enlisting young men and women.

In Defence of Pacifica Forum

A group seeks clarification in the wake of a Salem-News.com report.

(EUGENE, Ore.) - This piece was sparked off by Ersun Warncke's opinion piece "Evict Pacifica Forum from the U of O Campus" published on Salem-News, 11 May 2010.

In many ways, some of what Ersun says is uncontroversial: "Hitler should have been beaten to death in the street like a rabid dog the first time he opened his mouth".

Webinar Thursday with Dr. Franklin Lamb on Intifada-Palestine.com

Dr. Lamb is author of many articles, and that famous 'letter to Janet', which is a beautiful love story about Janet Lee stevens, who was an American; she died as a martyr for Palestinian refugees in Lebanon.

(BEIRUT) - Intifada Palestine is holding a special Webinar Thursday with Dr. Franklin Lamb, an international lawyer and director of the Sabra Shatila Foundation in Beirut, Lebanon.

The topic of the Webinar is Palestinian Civil Rights in Lebanon and Palestinian Right of Return. Dr. Lamb has spent the last 26 years of his life doing humanitarian work for Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon.

Elvis Costello Cancels Tel Aviv Appearance
`It Is After Considerable Contemplation....`

Public pressure is mounting on Elton John to do the same...

(LONDON) - It is after considerable contemplation that I have lately arrived at the decision that I must withdraw from the two performances scheduled in Israel on the 30th of June and the 1st of July.

One lives in hope that music is more than mere noise, filling up idle time, whether intending to elate or lament.

UNRWA Provides Laptops to Gaza School Children

From rockets and bombs to high tech devices, the kids in Gaza don't receive the things other kids see; in this case it is clearly positive.

(GAZA CITY) - "One laptop per child", it is a vision that has now turned into reality.

This is the first project of its kind to be created by UNRWA, the United Nations Relief Works Agency launched a plan to distribute some 200,000 laptops to children who attend school in Gaza.

A Poet`s take on anti-Semitism

It is a term quickly tossed at critics of Israel, and the practice erodes the importance of the term's real meaning.

(LOS ANGELES) - Most of our readers know that Salem-News.com has been under attack in recent days for stories that are critical of Israeli military policy in the Mideast.

Charges of "anti-Semitism" against Salem-News.com are not only incorrect, cruel and outrageous; they are damaging to our real efforts to fight racism.

I Stand by Palestine Forever

I stand by the people of Palestine, because they're real human beings.

(TEHRAN) - In a recent interview which I conducted with the brave Brazilian cartoonist Carlos Latuff, he told me that he has never seen a nation to be as strong and powerful as the Palestinian nation.

I admire his statement. He is right in his position to say that the Palestinians are one of the strongest nations of the world.

Salem-News Under Attack for Israel Stories

False accusations of anti-Semitism are easily dismissed by those who know us; for those who don't, the only thing we're guilty of is honest reporting on a very hard topic.

(SALEM, Ore.) - People who are dialed into the news know that Israel struck the people of Gaza during the winter of 2008/2009 , killing 1400 plus, primarily civilians, over 400 children among them.

Salem-News.com has been under attack in recent days in every imaginable public setting, because we tell the truth about Israel's military tactics, and oppression of the Palestinians.

Where Angels Fear to Tread

KGB operatives? Israeli Drug Dealers? Moonies? Who are these guys at Salem-News.com, and who gets paid to write this stuff?

(SALEM, Ore.) - Those of us who are in the business of taking a public stand against Zionist "high crimes and misdemeanors" are used to being assailed by the AIPAC/ADL/Hasbara crew and their puppets. It comes with the turf.

Most of these attacks are sufficiently heavy-handed and bizarre to be readily dismissed out of hand by almost anyone who reads or hears them, and even quicker to be discredited by others on whatever forum they appear -- Israeli apologists excepted, of course.

Why I Appreciate Press TV

Press TV realistically has fulfilled its promise to serve as an outlet that exhibits the bitter realities that the mainstream media otherwise overlook.

(TEHRAN) - Press TV came under harsh criticism by British media outlets during the period of political unrest that followed the reelection of incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in June 2009.

This seemed to be simply a retaliatory act against Iranian statesmen’s explicit condemnation of the UK’s BBC, which they alleged provoked riot and insurgence in a turbulent Tehran.
