new on peacepalestine: unabridged Petras article on Israel's war with Iran



New this week on Peacepalestine, some interesting documents and news!
 
  • James Petras - Israel's War with Iran: the unabridged version - The full version (Counterpunch published an edited version). A very important and powerful documented warning about the imminent danger of letting the Israel war train get fired up. It might make the War Against Iraq pale in comparison. Can we protest before it's too late? Or are we going to let a Pro-Israel Jewish Lobby (which represents only 26% of American Jewish public opinion to boot) that controls the US Congress call these shots?

  • Italian judges charges of voluntary homicide in Calipari killing  - Despite NO collaboration from the US, the Italian judges will charge a US soldier who had killed the Italian Secret Services Agent who rescued the Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena with Voluntary Homicide and Attempted Homicide.
  •  
  • How the next generation views Israel (The Israel Project report) - What does that glossy booklet say? And, especially, how to artfully use propaganda to turn the tide away from the facts and make "tomorrow's leaders" love Israel.
  •  
  • EU Report on East Jerusalem: what the EU censored! - Solanas would not publish it! The facts about the state of affairs in Jerusalem is far too ugly to let the people know. Going against the EU censorship, some sites have decided to publish the entire document which BADIL distributed.
  •  
  • Three Cheers for Imad! - The US is willing to pay mega bucks for Arabic translators to work in Iraq. Imad's response to this job offer is a hopeful example for all of us.
  •  
  • Arab Israelis demand Right of Return - Asmi Bishara, Palestinian Israeli MK expresses that rights are rights, not arbitrary and left at the whim of politics. The Right of Return is an inalienable right.
  •  
  • Umkahlil challenges the hasbara! - My favourite Palestinian blog tackles the Hasbara of internet. Those seeking to command discourse, to throw Palestinian activists into disrepute are given the classic Umka treatment, humour and truth. Irresistable.
  •  
  • Gilad Atzmon interviewed by Manuel Talens - A great new interview by the Jazzman.
