To be a Mathematician in Occupied Palestine

"Considering America's history of *cough* justice, it would make complete sense that the world's foremost economic super power would help the impoverished victims of an occupation that is 56 years old, providing them with funding for food, medicine, infrastructure renewal projects, construction of homes, and generating more employment opportunities..."

Senate Intelligence Committee Lets the Bush Administration Off the Hook on...

"Even if some would naively believe that this suspicious chronology did not indicate administration pressure, the administration is still responsible for the analysis that its intelligence community produces and should have actively reviewed, detected and questioned the overly ambitious conclusions based on thin evidence."

It’s the questions, Stupid!

"It might behoove us to take a peek at history since Bush, who openly admits he longs to be a dictator, rags on and on about being "called by history" to seize opportunities to destroy anything in his path. Might be prudent."

Helix of Kashmiris Struggle

"The hideous deal also set aside a proviso that the elfin amount the cost of a dazzling realm with its populous shall be paid by the wicked Singh in installments, in whatever fashion he [Gulab Singh] deemed apposite."

Clinton on Barak’s generous offer

"Clinton was as guilty as most of the other Washington scam artists who prostitute Middle East foreign policy for their personal political ambitions."

The Crisis in America’s Prisons

"Gates of Injustice not only details the problem of a brutal system run amuck, it also provides a wide range of proposals for reform of this broken institution."

There are Judges in The Hague

"It is easy to imagine the officers and settlers bent over the map and planning the path – as though through an empty space, with nothing there except settlements, army bases and roads. They argue about topography, tactical considerations and strategic objectives. Palestinians? What Palestinians?"

‘Amal’ is the Arabic Word for ‘Hope’

"Israel goes to the most extreme lengths to falsely manufacture its image as a light unto all nations, the only democracy in the Middle East, a land of justice and righteousness, of human rights and socialism, and most importantly, an innocent victim of terrorism. That the world’s most respected court has ruled Israeli actions illegal, is a serious and severe blow to Israel’s image the world over. That Israel’s favorite bedfellow is America, means that this ruling extends to American behavior as well."

Liberty Cover-Up and John McCain’s Conscience

"Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), a/k/a the “Conscience of the Senate,” has refused to support the rising call for a public Congressional hearing, with respect to Israel’s murderous attack on the USS Liberty, on June 8, 1967, that took the lives of 34 Americans. He insists the “matter was thoroughly reviewed” by a Naval Court of Inquiry, later in 1967. However, that inquiry was a whitewash. It’s time for McCain to right this wrong."

Bravo The Hague; What Next?

"...one hopes, that ICJ shall apply identical parameters towards the Kashmir cause, taking its’ elevated status to—still more premier echelon—by ensuring that justice is not delayed even for the realistic owners of the Himalayan State—in any demeanor."

International Court of Justice: Israel, Iran, Iraq, Syria and Middle...

"It is well beyond the time for the politicians and leaders of the world to listen to the people of the world and act upon their collective will; the world must have peace and we demand that those in a position to do so must be prepared to take forceful and empowered steps to achieve that goal."

Why are we celebrating?

"Israel will continue to build the barrier on Palestinian land with impunity, probably until its completion, and Palestinians will continue to suffer. Those with the will to stop or penalise Israel do not have the power, and those with the power do not have the will."

International Court’s "Wall" decision might open door to new dialogue in...

"The issue of the wall is minor in comparison to the greater problems that have held peace at bay in the Palestine/ Israel conflict."

Rummy’s Don’t Do List

"Even the British are catching up to the latest fad. Alastair Campbell, Tony Blair’s spinner in chief, declared that “we don’t do God.” He should have cleared that one with George Bush. The Brits need to get a grip on the nuances of American slang. The president can tell them all they need to know about nuance and God."

The Militarist and Messianic Ideologies

"What Sharon and the Israeli peaceniks who support the separation barrier neglect to see is that while the barrier imprisons the Palestinians, it is also encircling Israel, turning it, as it were, into an island, as opposed to a state among states in the Middle East."

Palestinians await ruling on cement corruption charges

"It was the comptroller’s contention that this cement was destined for construction of the wall that Israel is building through the West Bank."

What Israel Gets away with and why

"Walls like the Berlin wall are ultimately destined to fall. But this happens only if the psychological walls of misinformation, lies, and distortions are torn down. Only then will we have justice, freedom and democracy in Palestine/Israel , broadly in the Arab world, and also here in the US."

Israel Can Look Away No Longer

"...Sharon pushes forward with the protection of the settlement policy by using the new wall to bring them into a new Israeli border. But the quagmire has already been created."

Thank You, Your Honors

"The presence of the wall is not only cruel to Palestinians; it will ultimately harm Israeli security as well, as it intensifies the bitterness and hatred directed toward us. Is this the security that the wall will provide?"

To speak: perchance to be expelled—ay, there’s the rub!

[Daniel] Freeman-Maloy’s banishment must be seen as an abuse of power by a university president more interested in pandering to Toronto’s Jewish community than in upholding academic freedom and intellectual honesty.
