Posted in: Wexler: Settlement freeze would call Arab world's 'bluff'

First, Israel called the Arabs' bluff by entering into the Oslo Accords. Voila the 2000 Intifada Terror War. Next, Israel called the Arab bluff by withdrawing from Lebanon. Voila 2006 war with Hezbolla. Next, Israel called the Arab bluff by vacating Gaza including 8,000 Israeli residents. Voila, Hamas fires 5,000 rocket attacks on Sderot and nearby Israeli communities leading to the Cast Lead war in 2008. What is wrong with this picture?

Posted in: M.J. Rosenberg, neocons & Iran

Now that Obama has (finally) come out forcefully to condemn Iranian leaders brutal repression of its people, is Rosenberg going to criticize Obama for abandoning his 'cautiousness'? Don't bet on it. Obama-love is blind.

Posted in: Biden, Kerry call for settlement freeze

Who was it that said it won't make a difference to Israel if Obama was elected? Right.

Posted in: Jews need to get over it

Posted in: Lancet devotes issue to Palestinian health

I recall a few years back that the 'prestigious' Lancet publishing a fictitious report claiming that 600,000 Iraqi civilians died as a consequence of the U.S. invasion and subsequent occupation. This was a complete fabrication based on a laughable 'research' methodology that was recently shown to be conclusively fake. Guess what? No retraction or even acknowledgment by Lancet. This latest episode with the Palestinians just continues this mendacious tradition of politics masquerading as medicine.
