The Battle for Palestine Posted: Sunday, October 26, 2014
The Battle for Palestine You can't understand the worsening Mideast violence without knowing the modern history of Palestine, a story that begins with European anti-Semitism causing Zionists to claim Palestine for the Jews and to expel the Arabs, wrote retired U.S. diplomat William R. Polk in the first of three parts.

Using the Holocaust to Justify War Since bursting onto the U.S. foreign policy stage in the 1980s, the neocons have been masters of "perception management," devising emotional (and often false) messaging to justify aggressive war, as Maidhc Ó Cathail sees in recent Holocaust-themed propaganda against Syria's government.
Israeli president's diagnosis — 'Israel is a sick society' — doesn't go viral in the U.S. Did you hear that the president of Israel said Israel is a "sick society"? Reuven Rivlin, a Likudnik, said this over the weekend. There's been lots of coverage in Israel, but as Sullivan points out, the declaration hasn't gotten much attention stateside. I should think it would be viral.

Putin Warns Of Risk Of Major Conflict, Says Dollar Losing Reserve Currency Status
Western Sponsors Liable for Kiev Basket Case Since Washington and Brussels shunted the geopolitical tracks in the first place to create the financial train wreck that is now manifestly the Ukraine, you would think that there might be a sense of obligation on Western governments to salvage the mess.

Troops to Africa Won't Fix a Failed Presidency
US War on Iran Takes Bizarre Turn It is not merely hyperbole when it is said the US created terrorist organizations like Al Qaeda or the so-called "Islamic State." It is documented fact. The current conflict in the Middle East may appear to be a chaotic conflagration beyond the control of the United States and its many eager allies, but in reality it is the intentional, engineered creation of regional fronts in a war against Iran and its powerful arc of influence.

What 'Democracy' Really Means in U.S. and New York Times Jargon: Latin America Edition
The American oligarchy There is an unspoken rule in American politics, expressed ever more clearly in each election cycle, that the more important an issue is, the less it can be discussed—much less decided—by the election. The US military has embarked on a new war in the Middle East, democratic rights have been eviscerated, millions are without jobs, household incomes are falling, and a record number of people are being deported from the country. Yet, with the 2014 midterm election just 17 days away, none of these issues are being discussed.

'In 1976 I discovered Ebola...' Posted: Wednesday, October 15, 2014
The long and ugly tradition of treating Africa as a dirty, diseased place This week's Newsweek magazine cover features an image of a chimpanzee behind the words, "A Back Door for Ebola: Smuggled Bushmeat Could Spark a U.S. Epidemic." This cover story is problematic for a number of reasons, starting with the fact that there is virtually no chance that "bushmeat" smuggling could bring Ebola to America.

Biden blames US allies in Middle East for rise of ISIS "Our allies in the region were our largest problem in Syria," he said, explaining that Turkey, Saudi Arabia and the UAE were "so determined to take down Assad," that in a sense they started a "proxy Sunni-Shia war" by pouring "hundreds of millions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons" towards anyone who would fight against Assad. "And we could not convince our colleagues to stop supplying them," said Biden, thus disassociating the US from unleashing the civil war in Syria.
Biden 'apologises' to UAE for ISIL remarks Biden, who is known for his occasional verbal gaffes, angered US allies when he suggested in a speech at Harvard University on Thursday that Turkey, Qatar and the UAE had extended "billions of dollars and tens of thousands of tons of weapons" to Sunni fighters trying to overthrow Bashar al-Assad, Syrian president.
