Note from Lebanon by Rania Masri; July 17, 2006 Thank you all for your letters of concern. Yes, I am in Lebanon, and, yes, I am safe, as safe as one can be when one's country is under attack. I appeal to you all: we need your voices of outrage to be heard. Since Wednesday, we have been under vicious, unjustified attack, and the attacks have been intensifying. Vicious. Perhaps you have not heard the news because the western news has not been reporting it. Perhaps you have seen the pictures because the western news is not printing the pictures (the media has access to the pictures, but is choosing not to print them). ~ Read More ~

Israel's Terrorism by Gabriel Ash www.dissidentvoice.org July 18, 2006 The Middle East is boiling over yet again. Israel is resorting to the one strategy it has perfected since the day it was created, murdering civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure. The Israeli defense doctrine, old as Israel itself, considers bombing of civilian targets a means for pressuring "militants" and uncooperative governments. So Israel bombs bridges and villages in South Lebanon, power plants in Gaza, orchards, fields, schools, hospitals, residential neighborhoods, beach barbecue parties, etc. Everything is a legitimate target. Israeli ministers announce publicly that their chief strategy is to cause civilian suffering. Every day sees its Guernica, and the U.N., which proudly displays a reproduction of the painting, is mum in the face of a hundred Guernicas. ~ Read More ~

"The Insane Brutality of the State of Israel": Israel's Shameful attack on Gaza July 18, 2006 By MIKE WHITNEY CounterPunch "We are sure that Israel is using a new chemical or radioactive weapon in their operation...When we try to X-ray dead bodies, we find no trace of shrapnel that hit the person killed."

The origins of 'eliminationism' Tuesday, July 18, 2006 Dave Neiwert Orcinus Well, since this blog is the first entry in a Google search of the term "eliminationism," I suppose I'm going to have to take some ownership of it. And I'll gladly do so, because its increasing appearance in right-wing rhetoric is indeed an important phenomenon. ~ Read More ~
