Muslim Holocaust & Holocaust Denial by Bush US Alliance
Christmas is almost upon us and the World – especially the mainly
nominally Christian Western World - pauses to remember the birth of
Jesus Christ and to celebrate the sanctity of Mother and Child. Yet much
of the Western World through the Bush US Alliance is complicit in
horrendous crimes against humanity in Occupied Palestine, Occupied Iraq
and Occupied Afghanistan – in gross violation of the teachings of Jesus
and of the Decalogue (Ten Commandments) of the Abrahamic religions that
declares "thou shalt not kill". Much of the West is complicit in war
criminal mass murder, genocide and mass infanticide led by Bush America
in the Muslim World – yet the carnage continues due to the IGNORING of
this Muslim Holocaust by Western politicians and racist, lying,
holocaust-denying Mainstream media.

9/11 Canadian : Huge terror cell case begins its costly course
Canada's trial against 18 Muslim men begins - numerous expensive
lawyers, 2 million pages of documents and a whole lot of bullhsit
Canada's largest terrorism probe may take years to reach trial. Lawyers
likely will challenge the very law that frames the case and how evidence
was collected.
Canada's trial against 18 men and youths, arrested this summer for
allegedly belonging to a terrorist cell plotting attacks at home, now
involves a roster of high-profile defence lawyers, six prosecutors and
more than 2 million pages of government documents.

O Little Town of Bethlehem : Israel, Palestine and American Christian
Hypocrites
It was December of 1991 and I was serving as Legal Advisor to the
Palestinian Delegation to the Middle East Peace Negotiations in
Washington DC. The Israelis were stalling,not even negotiating in bad
faith, and the Americans under Baker and Ross were doing nothing to get
the negotiations started.
This had been going on for 3 weeks and Christmas was fast approaching.
Those of us on the Palestinian Team who were Christian were wondering
if we were going to be able to get home for Christmas--many Palestinians
are Christian, the original Christians, going back to Jesus Christ and
the Apostles themselves. I would periodically check in with my wife and
2 sons at the time--little boys. My poor, sweet wife had to do all the
Christmas preparations by herself without me.

A brief history of the PNAC: a refresher
Tj Templeton, founder Project for the old American Century
Once upon a time in an office rented to them by the American Heritage
Foundation, a group of powerful men directly connected to the halls of
the capital and the defense and energy industry formed a fringe
rightwing organization based loosely on the teachings of Leo Strauss.
They called themselves the Project for the New American Century. The
Project is an initiative of the New Citizenship Project (both chaired by
William Kristol) and as such is largely funded through it. Direct
funding for PNAC comes from, but isn't limited to, the Lynde and Harry
Bradley Foundation ($700,000), the Sarah Mellon Scaife Foundation
($50,000), and the John M. Olin Foundation ($70,000).

Where's the Accountability for the Dead and Wounded?
Children grow up in our country -- many by the way, under conditions of

goes...Democratic and Republican alike. Lie-cheat-steal, and there will
be consequences! Theft will be punished. Actions that cause the deaths
of others will be severely punished. The message, from leaders in

HRW
It has taken almost a month, but the bureaucrats in the U. S. State
Department have finally gotten around to authorizing their agents, a
bogus human rights advocacy group known as 'Human Rights Watch', to
(sort of) apologize for its outrageous November 22 Press Release in
which it complained about the use of non-violent resistance by
Palestinian civilians against war crimes being committed against them on
a daily basis by the State of Israel. The obvious intent of HRW was to
remove any hope of any resistance by the Palestinians, thus leading to
the ethnic cleansing desired by the Zionists. HRW can quibble all it
wants, but we all know that any legitimate advocates for human rights
would never even dream of issuing an obscenity like the November 22
press release.

Gregory Levey, Salon.com
Dec. 19, 2006 | This past June, on my last day working as a speechwriter
for the Israeli government -- first at the United Nations and then in
the prime minister's office -- I met with Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in
his private office at the Israeli parliament to discuss a speech he had
just given to the U.S. Congress. The speech, which I helped write, was
largely about the future of U.S.-Israeli relations, and we discussed how
it had gone over. Also at the meeting was a high-ranking official in the
Israeli Foreign Ministry, and when we left the building together, he
told me that the next day officials from the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee, the powerful lobbying group, would be visiting. He
asked if I had any suggestions about what to tell them about how they
could more effectively help Israel in Washington.

There is still another way for Palestine
After months of anticipation, Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman
Mahmoud Abbas and his Fatah faction finally launched their attempted

party and prime minister Ismail Haniyeh.
Days of interfactional violence, following Abbas' speech in which he

does not have the authority to do), claimed at least seven lives. A
shaky truce continued to be violated, and the events of the past week
have provided a terrifying glimpse of what may yet await Palestinians if
Abbas decides to continue on his disastrous path.
