:: Middle East

Israel’s War with Iran - The coming Mid East conflagration or Israel bombs Iran: The US suffers the consequences

12.15.2005
Israel?s political and military leadership have repeatedly and openly declared their preparation to militarily attack Iran in the immediate future.

The suicide bombers: The sacred and the profane

08.15.2005
One of the least discussed but most important aspect of the \”suicide bombers\” (SB) attacks is the Angle-American (AA) systematic and profound degradation of that which the Islamic religion holds most sacred: its code of ethics, its mode of spiritual practice, its religious rituals, its sacred texts and its respect for the observant believer.

Baghdad: Barbarism and civilization

07.13.2005
He was the Financial Times reporter in Baghdad, Andy Rubber-Ali, earnest, energetic and deeply embedded, who occasionally wandered off a good hundred and fifty to two hundred meters from the \”Bunker\” to pick up \”human interest\” stories.

Third World resistance and western intellectual solidarity

04.07.2004
Falluja, Baghdad, Ramadi, Nasiriya - an entire people has risen to confront the colonial occupation army, its mercenaries, clients, and collaborators.

The meaning of Saddam’s capture

12.15.2003
The major mass media in the United States and Europe joined the White House in celebrating the capture of Saddam Hussein.

The King from Babylon witnessed the birth of the savior in Bethlehem

12.01.2003
His grandfather was an immigrant from Palestine. His father was a merchant of precious stones in Baghdad. He was once an Olympian weight lifter. The people in his city called him \”the King\”.

US invasion of Iraq: The phony war and popular resistance

09.15.2003
The account of the US invasion of Iraq is cloaked in lies and distortions, which magnify the successes of the US military command.

The evil genius of empire: Will Iraq arise again?

04.18.2003
Millions of US citizens protested before the war and when it was launched but as the US war machine proceeded to conquer Iraq, the movement declined, the number of protestors decreased to the thousands, and was mostly composed of committed activists.

Iraq : The irony of history

04.05.2003
Among the most insidious lies and distortions which the Bush/Blair regimes and their mass media outlets have spouted to justify this genocidal war is the notion that the Iraqi people would welcome the invaders as liberators and they (especially the Shiites) would rise up to overthrow the regime of Saddam Hussein.

Total war: resistance, humanitarian aid and the media

03.30.2003
As the U.S. war against Iraq is prolonged, as Iraqi civilian and military resistance hardens, as guerrilla and militia attacks become more audacious, and the Anglo-American military casualties mount and supply lines become more tenuous the U.S. military-civilian command escalates the war from rapid ground-based offensive promoted by Rumsfeld to the sustained air campaign developed during the 1st Gulf War as the \’Powell Doctrine\’.

Genocidal war: Lessons for the future

03.20.2003
Iraq has become an inferno. While billions of people throughout the world watch, millions of Iraqis crowd into destroyed shelters, markets, hospitals and schools, radiated by new weapons of mass destruction, roasted by napalm, vaporized by \’MOAB\’ - a 9.5 ton bomb; and hear the voice of death Rumsfeld declaring to journalists, \”However you tell it, we have destroyed Sadaam Hussein\”.

The war and premeditated genocide: What is at stake?

02.12.2003
According to UN estimates over 10 million Iraqis will be killed, injured, displaced or traumatized by the U.S. war of aggression. It is highly likely that U.S. military intelligence figures coincide.

After Gaza Sharon’s final solution

07.25.2002
The Israeli air assault on an apartment complex killing and wounding nearly 200 people including the death of 10 children has a deeper meaning.

Who finances the State of Israel?

04.30.2002
In the face of Israel\’s defiance of world public opinion, and its refusal to permit any international humanitarian organization to examine the results of its murderous destruction of the towns and refugee camps in the Occupied Territories, who is financing the Israeli state and why does that financing continue in the face of world opprobrium?

Jenin: Auschwitz or the Warsaw Ghetto?

04.29.2002
While I agree with Saramago\’s general characterization of the Israeli attack on the Palestinians, I think the most appropriate analogy is the Warsaw ghetto uprising against the Nazis and not Auschwitz.

Palestine: the final solution and Jose Saramago

04.02.2002
The images of Israel\’s military force have been transmitted worldwide. Soldiers shooting the wounded in the head. Tanks smashing the walls of houses, offices, Arafat\’s compound.

Israel and the U.S: Petras replies to his critics

02.08.2002
The letters written by Sres. Almeyra, El Fisgon and Petro Miguel and Arnoldo Kraus in La Jornada criticizing my article, \”Israel and the United States: A Unique Relation\”, are full of distortions, fabrications and slanderous accusations.

Israel and the U.S.: A unique relationship

01.23.2002
U.S.-Israel relations have been described in a variety of ways. Politicians refer to Israel as the U.S.\’s most reliable ally in the Middle East, if not the world.
