Israeli soldiers’ revelations from Gaza

Israeli soldiers involved in the attacks on Gaza at the start of this year claim that they were ordered to fire, regardless of the risk to civilians.

Noam Chomsky: season of travesties – freedom and democracy in mid-2009

Noam Chomsky’s ZSpace Page / ZSpace
June 2009 was marked by a number of significant events, including two elections in the Middle East: in Lebanon, then Iran. The events are significant, and the reactions to them, highly instructive.
The election in Lebanon was greeted with euphoria. New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman gushed that he is [...]

What ethics? Julia Gillard’s unquestioning love for Israel

There’s nothing clean about the business of politics, and certainly ethics play no part part in it – unless they can be exploited for personal gain. Julia Gillard, this slow-speaking nasty piece of Labor conservatism, camouflaging as deputy prime minister of Australia (hard to believe she’s been a student activist once representing the political left), [...]

To the question of “natural growth” of Israeli settlements

Israeli settlement construction, including “natural growth” makes an advancement of two-state solutionimpossible, and Israel knows that – which is why they continue with the settlments’ expansion. So far they already have annexed 50% of the Westbank; their aim therefore can only be to incorporate the whole of this Palestinian land into [...]

Israel, selling lies and barbarism to a world that doesn’t ask question anymore

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it and eventually you will believe it” …
The Israeli Regime has been selling nothing but lies and delusions, and after decades of repeating them, the world has stopped questioning. Intelligence, wisdom, justice and compassion have been almost [...]

Who runs the American media?

There is no such thing as objectivity in the media, and especially not when it comes to Israel’s role in Middle-East conflicts. Probably nowhere in the Western world is political interference in this context as systemic as in the US.  And it’s the US press that helps shaping the American soul [...]

The other voices: links to non-mainstream press information on Iran

The following links all point to different publications and their authors on Pak Alert Press – in an attempt not to simply promote another view but to encourage the ascendancy of critical reflection – at a time when the West dominated world press produces nothing but one-sided propaganda.

Strong evidence for Israel trying to destabilise Iran through using Twitter

On June 16, Pak Alert Press reported of having done some digging on the Iran Twitter campaign after having felt suspicious about its sudden explosive occurrence on June 13.

Israeli Military Testing ‘robotic’ Snake

It is befitting that an aggressive, militaristic state like Israel would develop this combat mission weapon: a “robotic” camouflaged snake that can transmit video and audio as it crawls through difficult terrain and into enemy territory. The robot will gather intelligence behind enemy lines with a camera and microphone installed in [...]

Binyamin Netanyahu’s speech simply rhetorical

There was nothing new in Netanyahu’s speech, as many commentators have pointed out. When Netanyahu talks about ‘two free people’ he means the kind of racist homeland model that South Africa had under its apartheid regime. It was just a reheating of the same old disgustingly tasting soup, disgusting to those naively hoping for peace, [...]

American Christians fund illegal Jewish settlers

… and therefore support illegal land grabs, racism, oppression, murder and ethnic cleansing. And all in the name of their god and his supposed son, who in theory loved all people. If Christians actually would live up to their beliefs, they would support the Palestinians – just as Jesus is said to have taken sides [...]

From Airbus to Afghanistan, Israel, Peru, Antarctica and Clinton/Bush as war criminals …

… and much more – a long list of articles on current political topics by Global Research. I like GR because its critical perspective shines a torchlight onto the otherwise pretty meaningless and superficial news coverage of the mainstream press. The articles listed below were posted between the 2nd and 12th of June 2009.

Israeli Terrorism and the Talmud

Quite a shocking video. It demonstrates the insanity sometimes embedded in religious books and the deadly effects it can have when believers deal with so-called non-believers. And while at first sight it seems hard to believe that there actually are Jews who would follow such inhumane and barbaric teachings, the small [...]

Nonviolence in the Middle East: Obama’s Cairo Speech

Obama, in his recent Cairo speech, called on the Palestinians to renounce armed struggle and instead embrace non-violence. Starhawk, a prominent voice in modern Wiccan spirituality, questions Obama’s credentials to make such call and lays bare the injustices and terror inflicted on the Palestinians by Israel. While I’m not sharing Starhawk’s overall rosy view of [...]
