Hanging Saddam will only make him more popular
>From the recent demonstrations against his death sentence, it has become very obvious that Saddam has an increasingly large number of supporters in the country despite his downfall, says Khalid Taha.
It is unbelievable how short sighted the US administration can be. Don't advisers inform the President and his staff of the mess they have caused in Iraq and of the negative counter effect their policies are having on US interests?

Nightmare in Beit Hanoun: How Gaza Offends Us All
An opened jaw with yellowed teeth gaped out of its bloodied shroud. The rest of the head parts were wrapped in a plastic bag placed atop the jaw and nostrils, as if to be close to the place to which it once belonged. The bag was red from the pieces that were stuffed inside it. Below the jaw was a human neck slit open midway down: a fleshy, wet wound smiling pink and oozing out from the browned skin around it, the neck that was still linked to the body below it. Above him, in the upper freezer of the morgue lay a dead woman, her red hennaed hair visible for the first time to strange men around her. More red plastic wrapped around an otherwise absent chin. She was dead for demonstrating outside a mosque in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza where more than 60 men sheltered during the artillery onslaught by Israeli tanks and cannons.

Ahmed Amr: Listen Carefully to Condi's Silence on Beit Hanoun
Collective punishment is the law of the land in the occupied territories. Israel does it because Israel gets a license to do it from the great white father in Washington. Gaza has lived in darkness for an entire summer on account of the IDF's malicious destruction of its power plants. The pitch-black nights are perfect cover for nightly raids by Israeli death squads.

Western media parrots Israeli narrative on Beit Hanoun Massacre
On Wednesday, 8 November, the Israeli army committed another grisly massacre in the Gaza Strip, killing and maiming scores of innocent civilians, mostly sleeping women and children.
The new massacre is added to a long list of Israeli crimes against innocent Palestinians whose only "crime" is their enduring determination to rid themselves of decades of a demonic and dehumanizing Nazi-like military occupation that seeks to annihilate and expel them from their ancestral motherland.

True Lies About U.S. Aid to" Israeli " War Machinery - Cost of Israel to U.S. Taxpayers
