Racial Unrest as Thousands Riot at Australian Beach
SYDNEY (AP) ? Thousands of drunken white youths attacked police and people they believed were Arab immigrants at a Sydney beach on Sunday, angered by reports that youths of Lebanese descent had assaulted two lifeguards.
MMN: Notice that nowhere in the article is Australia's participation in the war on Iraq mentioned. Non-stop coverup of Australia's very pro-Israel and anti-Arab reality.

Calls grow to pull Nobel prize from Israeli war theorists
A group of Israeli intellectuals and activists has demanded that the Nobel prize committee withdraw the award for economics to be made today to an Israeli mathematician and his American colleague on the grounds that they are "warmongers". The economics prize is to be presented to Robert Aumann of Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Thomas Schelling of Maryland University in recognition of their "having enhanced our understanding of conflict and cooperation through game-theory analysis", a mathematical study of how individuals and governments react to other people's actions including in war.

Weaselly Rice tortures facts
Does secretary of state think anyone is buying her spiel, asks Maureen Dowd
Our secretary of state's tortuous defence of supposedly non-existent CIA torture chambers in Eastern Europe was an acid flashback to Clintonian parsing.
Just as Bill Clinton pranced around questions about marijuana use at Oxford during the '92 campaign by saying he had never broken the laws of his country, so Condoleezza Rice pranced around questions about outsourcing torture by suggesting that President George W. Bush had never broken the laws of his country.

Not Welcome Here: Attacks on Palestinians in Israel Continue
CONTRARY to what the Israeli and international media would like one to believe, attacks on Palestinian ?citizens? of Israel are not isolated incidents resulting from the warped minds of extremists. Rejection of the indigenous population of the land is only a natural consequence of the Zionist system in which all Israelis are, consciously or unconsciously, brought up. Every incident, from the fatal shooting of four Palestinians on a bus in Shefa Amr to the symbolic throwing of a pig?s head into a mosque in Jaffa, is part of a systematic policy of exclusion of Arab citizens in Israel?s very definition as a Jewish state.

Top Israeli officials "advising" France on riot control
Police officials Ezra, Karadi fly to Paris to advise on riot control
Public Security Minister Gideon Ezra and Police Commissioner Moshe Karadi departed for France on Sunday as part of a four-day working visit to advise local law
enforcement on methods of managing the sort of lawlessness witnessed during the riots in Paris suburbs in recent weeks.
MMN Note: The best form of riot control is to give people decent jobs and treat them with dignity and respect. Hitting people over the head with a club never solved the problems of systemic racism and chronic unemployment.

Spielberg is no friend of Israel
Hollywood is all about being trendy and Israel is not the trend.
Frankly this article looks like a public relations piece to convince people to see Steven's film who might avoid it because they assume it's just another pro-Israel "Look how we suffer" film wallowing in victimhood. If the claim that Israel is no longer the trend in Hollywood were accurate, we would see movies about how the Palestinians had their homes stolen by Israel when it was created. But we never see that, do we?
QED this is a puff piece to sell the movie.
