U.S. Blocks Investigation Into Israeli War Crimes

October 17, 2009

A call to, at least, investigate….
The U.N. Human Rights Council voted Friday to endorse a Gaza war crimes report that calls on Israel and Hamas to investigate alleged abuses, or face possible referral to international war crimes prosecutors.
What was the U.S. position?
The move — which was opposed by six nations, including the United States — [...]

Village Idiots

June 4, 2009

Questions.
Does the United States have any "settlements" that are, like, ongoing? Do our citizens use the word "settlements" to describe standard condo building? When U.S. real estate companies advertise their listings, do they print stuff like, "3 bedroom, 2 bath settlement, cheap"? Ever seen something like that?
Washinton Post writer David Ignatius' column is reprinted in [...]

The God Report: Israel's "Religious War"

March 23, 2009

Last week I blogged about the Pope's astonishly out-of-touch statement about AIDS. Pope Benedict said that "condoms increase the problem" of AIDS in Africa.
Here are a few international responses to what the Vicar said…
A New York Times editorial said the pope 'deserves no credence when he distorts scientific findings' about condoms.
A French foreign minister [...]

Disgraceful BBC

January 27, 2009

This is truly disgusting.
In more than 80 years as a publicly financed broadcaster with an audience of millions at home and around the world, the BBC has rarely been buffeted as severely as it has in recent days over its decision not to broadcast a television appeal by aid agencies for victims of Israel’s recent [...]

Rovianism….Israeli Style

January 20, 2009

Night after night during the Vietnam conflict, American news programs displayed pictures and gave firsthand reports from the quagmire there. Naturally, hawkish politicos complained that the media was skewing their coverage, turning Americans against the mindless conflict in the jungles of southeast Asia.
Karl Rove learned the Vietnam lesson. The way to conduct a war [...]

Obama's Muted Response To Gaza Crisis

January 15, 2009

About-to-be president, Barack Obama, has had no problem communicating with other governmental leaders and the American people about his intentions in dealing with the collapsed economy. Obama has boldly, and repeatedly, told us how he intends to "jump-start" the economy, as well as "save" or "create" up to 4 million new jobs with a large [...]

Being Properly Educated

January 14, 2009

caption id="attachment_3334" align="aligncenter" width="350" caption="Protestors in Chicago, obviously uneducated."][/caption
Here's a 1:40 ThinkProgress compilation where Serious Experts in Mediaworld describe, in their unmistakenly serious way, how the make-believe script of an hour long make-believe teevee program, delivered by make-believe torture-hero Jack Bauer, should be a definitive teaching lesson that Americans should take to heart.

As a child, [...]

Journalist Joe

January 11, 2009

Watch the first two minutes of this FOX clip from late October, 2008….

Joe. The. Plumber., embraced by American wingnuts as a representative of the 'average guy', and followed, puppy-like, by an American media who couldn't find their asses with both hands…..proudly and boldly told viewers that a vote for Barack Obama was a vote for [...]

Bush Plan Put Hamas In Power

January 11, 2009

Booman has just an excellent piece up on the conflict in Gaza. Here's the last part of it…
1. In January 2006, President Bush ignored the concerns of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority (under Fatah) and insisted on elections in the occupied territories.
2. In tandem with this policy, the Bush administration spent approximately $2 million [...]

Why Israeli Leaders Terrorize Palestinians

January 9, 2009

I must say, the brutal and criminal attack by Israeli military forces on Palestinians in Gaza, followed by the despicable responses from the Bush administration and a Democratic Congress to that criminal, savage attack, has been burning my ass in the extreme.
There are no comprehensible justifications for the wicked responses from American leaders. None [...]
