Human Rights: A Western Construct?
Fifty-eight years after the universal declaration of human rights was
adopted by the United Nations General Assembly, the debate continues as
to whether the document is truly universal.
Upon its adoption on Dec. 10, 1948, former U.S. First Lady Eleanor
Roosevelt, chair of the commission on human rights, expressed her hope
it would become "the Magna Carta of all mankind." Ironically, as was the
fate with the "great charter" of 1215, the declaration has not fully
lived up to its name.

Israel is an Antisemitic State
The Palestinians are a SEMITIC nation, like all other Arab nations.
Palestinians are Semitic people just like the Jews. The Torah, the Bible
and the Koran confirm that. The Arabs are called “Al-Sameyyoon” (Arabic
for "Semites") in reference to “Shem ben Noah” (Arabic for "Shem, son of
Noah") who is mentioned in the Torah.

The Death Of A Nation
"The Palestinians committed a major crime in January (2006) There was a
free election, closely monitored, declared to be free and fair and they
voted the wrong way. That is absolutely criminal."

Solving the ‘Stability’ Problem
America is failing in the Middle East because our leaders of both
parties will not look at the region through Arab eyes. What Bush saw as
a glorious liberation of Iraq, Arabs saw as an invasion. Where Bush sees
in Israel a model of democracy, Arabs see a pampered agent of U.S.
imperialism, persecuting and dispossessing the Palestinian people.

Sea resources down to a shipping terminal in the Indian Ocean.

Zionism: Pitting the West Against Islam
It is tempting to celebrate the creation of Israel as a great triumph,
perhaps the greatest in Jewish history. Indeed, the history of Israel
has often been read as the heroic saga of a people marked for
extinction, who emerged from Nazi death camps - from Auschwitz, Belzec
and Treblinka - to establish their own state in 1948, a Jewish haven and
a democracy that has prospered even as it has defended itself valiantly
against unceasing Arab threats and aggression. Without taking away
anything from the sufferings of European Jews, I will insist that this
way of thinking about Israel - apart from its mythologizing - has merit
only as a partisan narrative. It seeks to insulate Israel against the
charge of a devastating colonization by falsifying history, by
camouflaging the imperialist dynamics that brought it into existence,
and denying the perilous future with which it now confronts the Jews,
the West and the Islamic world.

US Seeks Near-Total Isolation for Gitmo
As the new Democratic majority in the U.S. Congress considers whether to
revisit the Military Commissions Act of 2006 (MCA), the administration
of President George W. Bush is proposing still more restrictions on
detainees in U.S. custody.
The government has proposed limiting contact between defense lawyers and
detainees at Guantanamo Bay because it says detainees' communications,
such as news of world events, could incite the prisoners to violence.

Video Is a Window Into Jose Padilla's Isolation
Lawyers for Mr. Padilla, 36, suggest that he is unfit to stand trial.
They argue that he has been so damaged by his interrogations and
prolonged isolation that he suffers post-traumatic stress disorder and
is unable to assist in his own defense. His interrogations, they say,
included hooding, stress positions, assaults, threats of imminent
execution and the administration of “truth serums.”

The Rumsfeld Memo: “I was just about to change everything….Really!?!”
Rumsfeld’s memo is great reading for fiction-lovers. It provides a
revealing snapshot of a leader who carefully considered every
alternative before making a decision. It’s a stark contrast to the
intractable narcissist who ignored his advisors and bullied his
generals. But, like I said, it’s great fiction.

Fed court to hear 'landmark torture case' against Rumsfeld
The ACLU and another legal rights organization, Human Rights First, are
to appear in court here on Friday "to argue that Secretary of Defense
Donald Rumsfeld is directly responsible for the torture and abuse of
detainees in U.S. military custody," said the release.
"The hearing will be the first time a federal court will consider
whether top U.S. officials can be held legally accountable for the
torture scandal in Iraq and Afghanistan," the release continues, adding
that the lawsuit was first filed in 2005 "on behalf of nine Iraqi and
Afghan former detainees."
