NPR and PBS Anti-Iranian Propaganda
by Stephen Lendman
Both National Public Radio and Public Broadcasting serve corporate and imperial interests. They're called public to conceal their agenda.
Critics ridicule NPR as National Pentagon or Petroleum Radio for good reason. It's true as well for PBS. Calling it Propaganda Public Broadcasting more accurately explains its mandate.
Listeners and viewers lose out. Those supporting both monetarily are cheated. Each receives generous government and corporate funding. In return, they know what's expected and don't disappoint.
Lebanon’s Maid of Darkness facing US hates crimes investigation
Franklin Lamb
From Lebanon with Hate
Increasingly a marionette of the US Zionist lobby, Ms. Brigitte Gabriel has enjoyed a few lucrative and unobstructed years of increasingly hysterical Muslim and Arab bashing. Recently however, she has attracted the attention of the FBI investigating her organization, “Act for America!” (actforamerica@donationnet.net) for possible hate crimes and financial irregularities, according to US Congressional Judiciary Committee sources.
Who is Bridgette Gabriel?
“The difference, my dear Christian friends, between Israel and the Arab world is quite simply the difference between civilization and barbarism. It’s the difference between good and evil and this is what we’re witnessing in the Arabic and Islamic world. I am angry. They have no SOUL! They are dead set on killing and destruction. And in the name of something they call “Allah,” which is very different from the God we believe in, because our God is the God of love”. – Brigitte Gabriel, speaking at John Hagee’s Christians United for Israel Convention, July 27, 2007
Dweik's abduction is state terror, pure and simple
By Khalid Amayreh in occupied Palestine
It is really hard to think of a single convincing or legitimate reason for the flagrant abduction of Professor Aziz Dweik by Gestapo-like Israeli troops earlier this week.
The 63-year-old Palestinian leader was returning home in Hebron from Ramallah when soldiers manning a roadblock snatched him rather unceremoniously from his car. They handcuffed him as if he were a common criminal.
Dweik is the elected speaker of the Palestinian Legislative Council. He was elected in 2006 in free elections, monitored by many American and European observers, including former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, who testified to their transparency.
UK Government Suppresses Truth
by Stephen Lendman
Press TV broke the news headlining, "Ofcom revokes Press TV's UK license," saying:
In a questionable move and without offering a valid response to the Press TV CEO's letters, the British Office of Communications (Ofcom)" pulled the plug disgracefully.
After threatening it for months, it "removed the channel from the Sky platform."
Does the PA want a deal with Israel by hook or by crook
By Khalid Amayreh
A third meeting between Israeli and Palestinian Authority (PA) officials in Amman has ended without results or, more correctly, without progress. The two other previous meetings also met the same fate.
A fourth meeting is reportedly planned for next week, which suggests that the PA leadership has not completely lost faith in the essentially futile talks which have been going on for years with no sign that the apartheid Israeli regime is willing to give up the spoils of the 1967 war. Far from that, the Zionist regime is slowly but definitely liquidating the Palestinian cause and by making the creation of a real Palestinian state on the West Bank utterly unrealistic if not outright impossible.
Canada's 'honour killings': Where is the sense of honour?
Eric Walberg
As Canada continues to pour troops and money into American wars and intrigues in the Muslim world, the media focusses on so-called honour killings.
Afghan immigrants Mohammad Shafia, 58, his wife Tooba Mahommad Yahya and their 21-year-old son Hamed were found guilty in a Canadian court Sunday of first degree murder in the 2009 “honor killing” deaths of four female family members, and sentenced to life imprisonment. These were not poor, uneducated people, but upstanding members of Canada's economic elite. The enterprising Mohammad escaped to Pakistan as “free Afghanistan” descended into civil war in 1992, before emigrating to Australia and Dubai, where he made his fortune in Doha’s hot real estate scene, finally settling in Canada in 2007.
University of Ottawa Systemic Racism and Abuse
by Stephen Lendman
On June 3, 2008, former Canadian politician/UN ambassador/pro-Israeli flack Allan Rock became U of O president.
His administration's marked by secrecy, political censorship, abuse of students and faculty, and repudiation of fundamental university values.
The Canadian Civil Liberties Association reprimanded him for banning an Israeli Apartheid Week poster. He then pressured a student union president into distancing the organization from the student-run Ontario Public Interest Research Group (OPIRG). It opposes repressive Israeli practices as do growing millions.
Khader Adnan Mohammad Musa: Israeli Prisoner of Conscience
by Stephen Lendman
Khader Adnan Mohammad Musa
In 1948, brute force established Israel. In 1967, militarized occupation of one-fifth of former Palestine followed.
An entire people suffer. Collective punishment is official policy. So are torture, violence, land theft, apartheid, injustice, and other forms of state-sponsored terror.
They include imprisoning Palestinians for wanting to live free on their own land in their own country. As a result, since June 1967, over 750,000 Palestinians have been imprisoned.
Arrests occur regularly. Middle-of-the-night raids terrorize nonviolent men, women and children. Alleged "ticking bomb" ones are held in the name of "security." So are various other type political prisoners. Denied all rights, they're brutalized for praying to the wrong God.
No Matter Who Wins, Americans Lose
Joel S. Hirschhorn
Why am I so sick of all the media attention to the Republican presidential primaries and all the blabbering about President Obama’s advantages and disadvantages for the coming election? I just cannot get excited. My answer may also be yours: No matter who wins, our nation loses.
Come election night I would be overjoyed to see Obama lose and equally overjoyed to see the Republican candidate, whoever it is, also lose. I cannot see how either Romney or Gingrich or even Ron Paul could possibly offer what is truly needed to fix the root causes of all the dysfunction, corruption and despair with the US political and government system. And Obama? Nothing but slickness instead of results.
Here is a central, common deficiency: No major presidential candidate has come out with strong support for any of the constitutional amendments critically needed to truly reform our system. More than ever, after so much failed government, a whole lot of Americans are ready to support amendments that would, for example, mandate term limits for members of Congress, remove all private money from federal elections, require a balanced federal budget, and revitalize the constitutional requirement for Congress explicitly declaring war.
Profile of a Rogue State
by Stephen Lendman
America's unmatched globally. However, pound for pound, based on size, its policies, and regional threat, Israel stands out.
Daily, its crimes against humanity continue. On January 23, Jerusalem police arrested two Palestinian officials, Khaled Abu Arafeh and Mohammed Totah.
Police spokesman Micky Rosenfeld said both men were wanted for unspecified "Hamas activities" with no further comment.
Hamas, of course, is Palestine's legitimate government. Israel and America spuriously call it a terrorist organization. Hamas spokesman Mushir al-Masri said arresting both men was a "Zionist crime." Palestine's parliament hasn't functioned since Hamas and Fatah split in 2007.
