(BERKELEY, Calif.) - A few days ago I joined a group of my colleagues from The Greenlining Institute to see the new documentary, Inside Job. I don't normally go around telling people what to do, but seriously: Step away from the computer and go see this film.

Time for the Palestinians to Call Israel`s Bluff?

Defenders of Israel right or wrong continue to assert that the absence of peace is all the fault of the Palestinians.

(LONDON) - In one sense they are right. When the Palestine file was closed by Israel’s victory (ethnic cleansing and all) on the battlefield in 1948, the Palestinians were supposed to accept their lot as the sacrificial lamb on the altar of political expediency.

That was according to the script written by Zionism and effectively endorsed by all the major powers and, behind closed doors, the regimes of a divided and impotent Arab order.

Oliver Stone Apologized for Telling the Truth

Instead of silencing criticism, Edelstein, Steinberg and others better look in the mirror because the time is running out for Israel and its supporters.

(LONDON) - There you go, Oliver Stone apologized for suggesting that the Jewish lobby controls Washington's foreign policy and that Hitler's actions should be put into context.
