    lobewyper,

    There's a lot of info on all of this that's been out there for years.
    Just google anything you want to know and start reading.

    Regarding Bin Laden being a CIA asset at least until 9/11, research former FBI interpreter and whistle blower Sibel Edmunds, the most gagged woman in history of the U.S.

    Her website is BoilingFrogsPost.com
    .

    Some here may ask, "What does anything about Bin Laden, the CIA, 9/11, etc., have to do with 'The War of Words in the Middle East'"?

    The answer is: Everything.

    Everything is connected.

    If you doubt that, keep an open mind, temporarily suspend your disbelief, and do some solid research on all of this. Then come back and tell me that it's unrelated. Trust me, you won't.

• Words they lived by-- Adrienne Rich and Levon Helm

    Levon Helm: " [I]n my heart I'm still Lavon, the hambone kid in the 4-H show. In fact, the main thing that still gets my juices flowing is to get over to the venue on the night of the job, wherever it might be, anywhere in the world. The man that's running the joint knows we're coming, and he invites me in and helps me set up my stuff. We play some music, and then he pays us. That's the only way I ever wanted it.

    As for The Band, we never sold millions of records or got attacked by groupies, but we're still here. We never thought our 'career' was more important than the music. That's our whole story, right there."

    I'm afraid that I've never heard of the guy before but know he's my kind of person.

    A general aside to all:

    "..when British troops entered Lexington on the morning of April 19, [1775] they found 77 minutemen formed up on the village green. Shots were exchanged, killing several minutemen. The British moved on to Concord, where a detachment of three companies was engaged and routed at the North Bridge by a force of 500 minutemen. As the British retreated back to Boston, thousands of militiamen attacked them along the roads, inflicting great damage before timely British reinforcements prevented a total disaster. With the Battles of Lexington and Concord, the war had begun." - wikipedia

    On April 19, 2012, one would think the US should have been commemorating the Battles of Lexington and Concord, which marked the beginning of the American Revolution.

    It's not about denial, it's about facts.

• Algeria and Six-Day War led Lanzmann to make Shoah (and to deny the Nakba)
  • Pixel April 23, 2012 at 11:39 am with 1 replies

    This prison, unlike anti-semitism, was self-imposed, and made up of three invisible walls: the idea of the Chosen People, Holocaust remembrance and support for the state of Israel. Having trapped themselves inside these walls, the prosperous, assimilated Jews of the West were less and less able to see themselves clearly, or to appreciate the suffering of others – particularly the Palestinians living behind the ‘separation fence’.

    Unless we step back, we miss the immense significance of this.

    Million of 60 Minutes viewers still know little-to-nothing about the I/P "conflict" and, honestly, remain confused about who the good guys are and who the bad guys are. Keeping things confused has been a significant Israeli goal and, for decades, it has worked magnificently in it's favor.

    Last night, viewers got a general impression in 15 minutes. The details don't matter, the impression does and, in this piece, it's loud and clear.

    Israel in the bad guy. Furthermore, it uses coercion at the highest levels and lies without shame.
