For a democratic senator to remain in favor of the war in Iraq, while now advocating military strikes on Iran, I hope good Americans can see through this rhetoric of “protecting” the US and get to the real point ; he advocates on behalf of Israel, and I have opined many times that people who serve this government should not be loyal to another government or nation because there is a serious conflict of interests, which is not too hard to see in this case.

A columnist from Israel writes a nice commentary on the renewed Arab League Proposal (Saudi Initiative) and why Israel should embrace the proposal, and not continue its legacy of rejectionism.

Pretty scary proposition, ladies and gentlemen. Sorrell’s 4th contribution to the MUCKRAKERREPORT.

My stepdad’s daughter who works for the UN took my step-dad to Hebron last spring, and he told me last summer what was happening to the Palestinians there was unspeakable.
There were several hundred illegal settlers who occupied the upper floors of a building in Hebron, and then when the Palestinians go outside in the streets above the building, the settlers would throw trash, feces, and other undesirable stuff on them.
They eventually put up a net to catch most of the debris, but it seems the 4,000 IDF soldiers used to protect these some 600 illegal settlers has taken its toll on the Palestinians town of Hebron.
Of course, not a mention of this in mainstream US presses. This link is from the BBC.

Some good questions in this piece need answers, in my opinion.
For those who believe that Giuliani is the best man for the next top exec position, forget all the consipracy theories and istead focus on a few crucial questions concerning Giuliani’s character which are introduced in this piece.
For someone who has lots of political capital for his role in the 9-11 aftermath, I think these questions should be answered, plain and simple.
Please don’t read between the lines or try and surmise my personal beliefs on 9-11, just focus on the questions …

I have long argued that Bill O’Reilly can only make labels, not arguments, and preys on the uninformed populace by instilling fear-driven commentary.
The results of the linked study tend to support my claims, and actually say much more.
Way to go, IU !

MSNBC poll shows the real winner of the debate. I think Americans are finally disenchanted enough to listen to a fresh voice (who is really a libertarian!) who makes the most sense.
Hopefully, the people will continue to learn about Ron Paul and continue giving him support.
Hopefully, it won’t be like nominations in the past, where the best candidates get pushed into the corner of obscurity.

Amen Amen Amen, Azmi sums up an essential problem with the conflict ; it is based on an irrational push to create a democratic society in which only jews may participate, but can such an underlying racist doctrine provide the foundation for a democracy.
