That National piece is by the great British journalist Jonathan Cook.

We in the US have to make do with Thomas Friedman and Ethan Bronner and Linda Gradstein. It is a "Jewish subject," after all.

When Rachel C's parents visited Gaza in 2003 an IDF tank pulled up right outside the home they were visiting and sat – this after coordinating the visit with the American Embassy and the IDF. The IDF "visited" a home that the Corries had visited destroying a wall and holding the family for a number of hours. It was and is a military out of control. Intimidation is its number one weapon.

Yes, but Richard Witty tells us the Israeli Army is a moral good acting for the defense of Israel and that the American Army is evil and imperialistic. He's got a real knack for telling the truth about everything doesn't he?

Salam and her family have more courage than the entire U.S. government…Obama, Lugar, Biden, Condaleeza, Clinton, Kerry, Voinivich,Boxer, Feinstein, Dole… all are very aware of the failure of the Israeli investigation into Rachel's death, all are aware that the Israeli's lied to the Americans and/or that "My Name Is Rachel Corrie" has not been performed because of Jewish sensitivities and they sit quiet…intimidated by ?????

If it is true that Mr. Witty believes that the IDF is a moral good, I would like his explanation for them shooting Tom Hurndall in the head and covering it up, shooting HBO cameraman James Miller and now trying to pay off his family to stop British pressure, Shooting Shaden Abu Hijlah in the face numerous times and then failing to investigate and Rachel..with an investigation that the U.S. State Department finds without equivocation lacking credibility and thoroughness..the IDF is full of fabrication and lies….where is the moral good to be found? And now they are after this young girl…what big brave people they are.

What does their almost univeral support of the IDF say about Israeli and American Zionists in general?

Glenn Condell — Mon, 29 Nov 1999 23:00:00 +0000

'The people of Nilin have tried various non-violent forms of protest... The army has responded with tear gas and stun grenades, as well as on occasion, with rubber bullets and live ammunition'

'Why don't Palestinians adopt Gandhi's methods' the Zionists ask.

- where exactly has that got any Palestinians who adopted them?

- how come the Israelis don't adopt Gandhi's methods?

- if Zionists feel the Palestinians need such a leader to achieve their goals of justice and restitution, they must then support those goals

- has Israel ever produced a leader fit to tie the non-existent laces of Gandhi's sandals?

To paraphrase Rabbi Perrin again, 1000 Israeli leaders are not worth one of Gandhi's fingernails.

'Yes, but Richard Witty tells us the Israeli Army is a moral good acting for the defense of Israel and that the American Army is evil and imperialistic. He's got a real knack for telling the truth about everything doesn't he?'

And a talent for careful avoidance of posts and threads like this one, involving as it does obvious Israeli atrocity, where his chin-scratching, goalpost-moving and general gibberish cannot get any purchase at all.

'If it is true that Mr. Witty believes that the IDF is a moral good, I would like his explanation for them shooting Tom Hurndall in the head and covering it up, shooting HBO cameraman James Miller and now trying to pay off his family to stop British pressure, Shooting Shaden Abu Hijlah in the face numerous times and then failing to investigate and Rachel'

If you are lurking Richard, how about coming in out of the cold and addressing cheryl's questions? Don't be a fair-weather foe.. if Zionism is as morally correct as you say it is, there's nothing to be afraid of, is there?

So if one can find ANY false news in Arab newspapers it logically follows that ALL Arab newspapers tell lies ALL the time.

Oh and I 'spose a corollary would be:

ONLY Arab News tells lies
