Dear Mr. Bush,   We heard you express your regrets regarding the casualties of "Israel's" ravaging war against my country, Lebanon. I hope you have been furnished with a true profile of the atrocities being perpetrated in my country. You pose as being at war with terrorism. Let me honestly tell you: Charity starts at home.   "Israel" is wantonly indulging in the most horrendous forms of... [read more]

          Over the past month, we’ve seen uncommon leadership on the battlefield from an Arab leader. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah has proven, once and for all, that he and the whole of Hezbollah are a legitimate resistance against unwarranted Israeli aggression and, despite claims otherwise, Lebanon is better defended because of Hezbollah and Nasrallah’s leadership. Unlike many, I don’t blame Hezbollah... [read more]

Amir:   Dr. Chomsky, I heard your interview the other day with Amy Goodman and have read several of your books noting your awareness of the Israeli/Palestinian situation. I have many Lebanese friends, several of which are currently in Tripoli in the north. My question is this; with the obvious plan the Israelis had for this situation and how they are hitting targets completely unrelated to... [read more]

The ruler of Syria showed up on the screens yesterday with a speech that was praising the "victory" of Hezbollah. He engaged himself in many points that he seemed lost, confused, and rather nervous. The interruption of people reciting poem's praising him was probably to ease the pressure. Al Assad showed us the Lebanese people that he was happy, content, and filled with joy to see what happened to... [read more]

Another miracle has happened in the place where Jesus once trod. He used to teach people to protect the weak, the lame, the blind, the poor, and the defenseless from the ravages of oppression but after more than 30 days of fighting, those weak, poor, defenseless people have risen to defend themselves. It was thought not long ago that Israel was one of the most powerful armies in the world and it had... [read more]

 Published: 15 August 2006 - The Independent http://news.independent.co.uk/world/fisk/article1219260.ece They made a desert and called it peace. Srifa - or what was once the village of Srifa - is a place of pancaked homes, blasted walls, rubble, starving cats and trapped corpses. But it is also a place of victory for the Hizbollah, whose fighters walked amid the destruction yesterday with the... [read more]

     I've recently returned from Washington where some 30,000 people gathered to march around the White House demanding an end to the Israeli assault on Lebanon and Palestine. I spoke with a member of the police who said the permit was for 10,000 people but that many had already gathered over an hour before the event even started. I walked into Lafayette Park to hear the angelic voice of Fairuz... [read more]

           Regardless which side of the debate you’re on, you have to concede that this latest terrorist plot is well timed in relation to the current criticism of the US & UK in blocking attempts to end the atrocities in Lebanon and Gaza. Early this morning, we get word of overnight raids in the UK that rounded up some 21 suspects in an alleged plot to blow up several aircraft en route from London’s... [read more]

An Interview on SkyNews with George Galloway. It's a large file but it's very good! http://skynews-clips.videoloungetv.com/public/skynews/latest/galloway_060806.wmv   [read more]

  We are now in the 23rd day of the Israel onslaught against Lebanon and today, as it was in ’82, there is little being done to stop it. There are protests throughout the world and government ministers condemning the attacks on civilian targets but little to nothing is being done to stop it. Why is it that Lebanon is allowed to be pillaged and burned with no one coming to her rescue? What happened... [read more]
