09-20-09 Israeli Government distorts truth in response to Goldstone report on war crimes

Israel’s government distorts truth in response to War Crimes report
By Ray Hanania
Renown South African Jurist Richard Goldstone has completed a comprehensive report on the war crimes committed during the Israeli war started against Hamas in the Gaza Strip on Nov. 4, 2008 and the Israeli response has been to call Goldstone, a Jew who prosecuted war crimes in Rwanda and the former Yugoslavia an “anti-Semite” with no basis in international law. While the war crimes in Gaza are a real crime, the outrageous slander that marks Israel’s government response to any form of criticism is an even bigger crime. They argue Israel did not start the war, Hamas did. But the facts prove Israel wrong. But does truth matter in today’s world? Not when it comes to Israel’s government. Read more »

07-17-09 Aljazeera kicked out of West Bank exposes issues

Aljazeera Arabic under siege in West Bank and in its editorial offices
By Ray Hanania —
Aljazeera Arabic became the first television station to broadcast balanced news about the Middle East, but over the years its editorial staff has expanded to include several people who are less about journalism and more about partisan political activism, mainly supporting Hamas and the growing Islamic extremist movement. The biggest complaint has been about its coverage, which critics have called biased and supporters have said does not advocate pro-Palestinian and Islamic views enough. Read more »

Palestine Not Remembered

Palestine not Remembered
By Saffiya Shillo —
On the anniversary of the siege of Palestine, Palestinians worldwide forget to remember what is most important when marking this and every other past and future commemoration. They forget to fight for Palestine! They forget to fight the “right” fight.” They forget to raise their voices in unison advocating the noble cause for freedom through justice. They forget what it means to be One Palestinian People. Read more »

SHILLO: Real Story: Media allows hiding of human rights abuses put U.S. troops in danger, FOR IMEMDIATE RELEASE, 01-06-08

Real Story: Media allows hiding of human rights abuses put U.S. troops in danger 

By Saffiya Shillo – Where is the outcry from the American media on being denied access into Gaza?  Israel’s claim of safety for press is not warranted.  Safety from whom?  The real truth is that Israel has a record of targeting and killing reporters, peace activists and other independents that have been on-the-ground witnesses to human rights abuses.  Reporters leveraging themselves on the borders offer Israel a skewed pursuit of ending rocket fire by Hamas.  Read more »

HANANIA: Israel and Hamas both guilty of war crimes, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, 12-28-08

Both Israel and Hamas share blood stained policies in Gaza war crimes
By Ray Hanania –
If you listen to the Palestinians and Arab groups organizing protests against Israel’s attacks that have killed more than 200, mostly civilians, you would think Israel was unprovoked. And, if you listen to the Israelis who have both the one-sided and biased mainstream American media and pro-Israeli American government establishment on their side, you would think that Israel had to kill the Palestinians to prevent more killings of Israelis.

HANANIA: Obama can do more than play politics with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE, July 24, 2008

Obama can do more than play politics with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict
By Ray Hanania –
Presumptive Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama did all the “right” things during his tour of the Middle East. It will help better define him in the eyes of Americans as “presidential material” and brush aside any concerns about whether he can or can’t be a commander in chief. He can. But doing the “right things” might not be enough to actually achieve Middle East peace. Obama needs to do more. He’s capable of it. Read more »
