By Rami Khoury from the Daily Star.Palestinians march to Israeli border to denounce 60 years of dispossession.Let's not forget. All the mayhem in the ME and Lebanon is made to make us and make the world forget that Palestinians are still dispossessed.

From the best source on lebanon, this latest post , and some others...I especially liked this one...Sorry I am not writing these days... I will be returning to normal activity soon.

A post worth mentioning from a Kos diarist.

Citing China's Human Rights records, U.S. Jewish leaders call for boycott of Beijing Olympics.These leaders have no credibility at al. They are doing a disservice to Human Rights worldwide since they don't recognise Israel's criminal Human Rights records, its theft of Palestinian land, and its mistreatment of Arab Israeli citizens and occupied Palestinians, starving, imprisoning, and killing

The Guardian has an article about the daily struggle against hunger of Palestinians due to the Israeli blockade of Gaza. Guess where they featured the article ? In the Life and Style section, Food and Drink subsection.Bombs, bullets & our daily bread.

Incredible, this is happening in the US: Shops ration sales of rice as US buyers panic.They speculated with poor people's houses and gave us the subprime crisis. Now they are speculating with what we eat.Capitalism is eating itself inside out.

At least, that's an admission of guilt, but at the same time a cover-up. But this is not justice.Israel to compensate family of British filmmaker.The HBO documentary 'death In Gaza' about Miller's death.The crime as recorded by fellow cameraman and posted on Youtube.

From Juan Cole. Israeli spying on the US is not only for Israel's 'right to exist' and 'security'. Advanced technological and weaponry secrets obtained through spying by Israel end up on the black market. Oh, and Clinton wants to nuke Iran if it threatens Israel.

It is still pretty much a whisper but the whisper may one day become louder and wider. First Obama promised to review potential war crimes committed by Bush adminstration officials. And now, a new book on torture techniques written and approved by Bush adminstration officials is prompting some name people who participated in the elaboration of the torture procedures at Guantanamo."Haynes,

No Peace Without Hamas by Mahmoud Zahar, in the Wapost.Our movement fights on because we cannot allow the foundational crime at the core of the Jewish state - the violent expulsion from our lands and villages that made us refugees - to slip out of world consciousness, forgotten or negotiated away. Judaism - which gave so much to human culture in the contributions of its ancient lawgivers and

Israel has of late been waging a dirty war against established Islamic institutions in this southern West Bank town of nearly 200,000, the largest in the West Bank, Hebron.Under the rubric of fighting Hamas, Israeli troops and agents of the Shin Bet, Israel's notorious domestic security agency, have been raiding and vandalising charities, orphanages, boarding schools and affiliated businesses.

Stef's posts are great, most of the time. What I like is that he combines his critique of the judicial farce that is the WOT in the US and the UK with a fierce critique of the consumer society in which we live, as he does in this post. The common point is that in our 'free world' we buy pretty much everything from unhealthy food to propaganda without questioning the storyline of those who are
