Why We Criticize Israel

The biggest problem is Israel's disconnect with truth.

(SALEM, Ore.) - People constantly write to our newsroom complaining about our endless stream of articles criticizing Israel's politics. The pace is always increasing.

The video included with this entry should explain very well why we feel the way we do about the Zionist takeover of Palestine and Israel's government.

Terrorism by the Numbers

Things are quite opposite of how they are presented...

(SALEM, Ore.) - While Americans constantly hear about Middle east 'terrorists' they rarely consider that Israel is guilty of ten times, maybe a hundred times more acts of 'terrorism'.

The same holds true for the US 'war on terror'

UNSC: An Organization for Injustice

Unfortunately, the UN Security Council has become an instrument for the five superpowers to further their political will in the arena of international politics.

(TEHRAN) - Since its very inception in 1946, the United Nations Security Council demonstrated that it cannot be trusted as a podium of justice for the world countries, especially the oppressed and defenseless nations.

The Security Council is said to be one of the principal organs within the operative system of the United Nations and is "allegedly" charged with the maintenance of international peace and security.

Rogue America, the Quiet Mutiny

How privatization, religion and Constitutional abuses have created a 'shadow' state.

(CINCINNATI) - A little over 2 weeks ago, John Wheeler III, former Special Assistant to the Secretary of the Air Force, a man whose Washington resume put him in contact with presidents, was found in the back of a garbage truck.

The Collapsing Hegemony of the West

Iran has made dazzling breakthroughs in recent years, surpassing its most powerful rivals to the surprise of many.

(TEHRAN) - In its path towards becoming a regional and international superpower, Iran is achieving remarkable breakthroughs in science and technology which have started to flabbergast the rivals around the world.

These range from the US as a self-proclaimed superpower in economy and science to the neighboring countries in the Persian Gulf region which are years from reaching self-sufficiency in meeting their domestic needs.

Christmas Resistance Activities in Palestine: The Best Christmas Ever

I urge all to come visit us and see what is happening in the "little town of Bethlehem": 170,000 people nearly half refugees, crowd into 13% of the original district of Bethlehem surrounded by 27 ft high walls and electrified fences.

(BETHLEHEM) - I have spent 26 Christmases in our homeland but never had a more meaningful one than this one.

In the traditional 12 days of the holiday season, we finished with class work at Bethlehem University.

IF Obama Could Put America`s Own Real Interests First...

Obama (possibly at the risk of assassination) could create a whole new Middle East, one in which justice for the Palestinians and peace and security for all could flourish.

As things are he can’t because of the stranglehold on American policy for Israel/Palestine of the Zionist lobby and its stooges in Congress, the mainstream media and many institutions of state including the Pentagon and intelligence agencies.

My purpose is only to offer an answer to this question: What could happen if President Obama was able to put America’s own real interests first?
