The David Project: An American Zionist Organizatin Dedicated To Demonizing Islam and Muslims
The David Project ( http://www.davidproject.org/) and other American Zionist organizations as part of their program of demonizing Islam, Arabs, and Iranians have developed special propaganda that misrepresents the origins, history and ethnic identity of Jewish Arabs and Jewish Persians.
You can read about the latest David Project propaganda film at http://www.theforgottenrefugees.com/ .
Wafaa' al-Natheema of the Institute for Near Eastern and African Studies (INEAS) is a tireless worker for Arab and Moslem causes, who has often focused on the false anti-Arab and anti-Moslem pseudoscholarship with which Zionists and anti-Arab or anti-Muslim racists indoctrinate the American population.
She is developing a response to this new anti-Arab, anti-Iranian and anti-Muslim polemic. She needs some help. This is a worthy project, and not very much is needed to edit and finalize it. You can find more details about her documentary film and needs at http://www.ineas.org/projects.htm#documentaryfilm . She can be reached at [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
Please support her and this project. It is very important for all Arabs, all Iranians and all Moslems.

How US Foreign Policies Fuel Anti-American Feelings AbroadThe US is hardly winning friends or influencing anybody, except negatively, these days. Certainly, within my lifetime, anti-American feeling has never been as rife or on such a worldwide scale. At the same time, the Bush administration is spending billions on propaganda so as to run TV and radio stations directed at altering the perceptions of peoples of the Middle East, while the Pentagon has actually paid journalists in the region to append their bylines to US-generated stories.
But can such tactics work while US troops still occupy Afghanistan and Iraq, Palestinians are being punished for making the wrong democratic choices and war drums are beating against Iran and Syria?

European countries have enough laws to foster integration, but they are not well implemented and real issues are often avoided, Beate Winkler, head of the European Monitoring Center on Racism and Xenophobia, told European imams meeting in Vienna.

A Culture of Corruption
Let's Save Our Democracy by Getting Money Out of Politics
Money is choking our democracy to death. Our elections are bought out from under us and our public officials are doing the bidding of mercenaries. So powerful is the hold of wealth on politics that we cannot say America is working for all Americans. The majority may support such broad social goals as affordable medical coverage for all, decent wages for working people, safe working conditions, a secure retirement, and clean air and water, but there is no government "of, by, and for the people" to deliver on those aspirations.

Remember Friday, April 9, 1948
Early in the morning of Friday, April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun, headed by Menachem Begin, and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with about 750 Palestinian residents. It was several weeks before the end of the British Mandate. The village lay outside of the area that the United Nations recommended be included in a future Jewish State. Deir Yassin had a peaceful reputation and was even said by a Jewish newspaper to have driven out some Arab militants. But it was located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and one plan, kept secret until years afterwards, called for it to be destroyed and the residents evacuated to make way for a small airfield that would supply the beleaguered Jewish residents of Jerusalem.
By noon over 100 people, half of them women and children, had been systematically murdered. Four commandos died at the hands of resisting Palestinians using old Mausers and muskets. Twenty-five male villagers were loaded into trucks, paraded through the Zakhron Yosef quarter in Jerusalem, and then taken to a stone quarry along the road between Givat Shaul and Deir Yassin and shot to death. The remaining residents were driven to Arab East Jerusalem.

Israel firing 300 artillery shells per day into occupied Gaza
The Israel Defense Forces has racheted up artillery fire along on the Gaza Strip in response to continued Qassam attacks, military sources told Haaretz yesterday. On the average, the sources said, the IDF is now firing some 300 shells a day at the Strip. It has also greatly reduced the safety zone around Palestinian communities. The IDF conceded this step could result in loss of civilian life, as in the beginning of the week when a Beit Lahia farmer was killed and some of his relatives were injured.

Palestinians Now Being Punished for Choosing Hamas

They held a free and fair election that was regarded as exemplary throughout the Arab world. But the wrong people won: the Islamic party Hamas. The Palestinians have to be punished.

There is no hunger in Gaza - Gideon Levy
For the information of all the anxious: There is no hunger in the territories. No baby has died of malnutrition; no child is walking around with a swollen belly. There is no lack of flour, and from Rafah to Jenin rice is available. Let the tongue-cluckers relax: The talk about a "humanitarian disaster" is exaggerated. The international relief and aid organizations are trying in despair to cry "wolf," to alert the Israelis and the world and enlist them in the cause to save the Palestinian people, knowing that only exaggerated talk might move anyone. They might be right, but their calls are coming too soon, and also much too late.
