Arab League team's sluggish movement and the contentious remarks of head of the mission have fueled skepticism

Well, Dershowitz must know quite a bit about shame - He sure brings a lot of it on himself and on every Jew and Zionist foolish enough to associate with him and his message.

You have been hearing Europe is broke but what you have heard has been filtered through newspapers and TV stations owned by "certain groups" paid to lie to you.

An old cliché states that ignorance is bliss. If this were really true, the US would be a very happy country.

While Rumsfeld and Myers were running America's wars in Afganistan and Iraq, though, the Air Force Secretary James Roche and National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) Director Peter Teets had carried it further afield to the "axis of evil" with disasters in Iran and North Korea, caused by its satellite lasers.

I seldom get moved about a movie, or a cause, beyond the confines of my own home, where I take time for my own kids every day, day after day, week after week.

I’m sorry, but when a New York City detective calls me and tells me that they arrested the 9/11 terrorists but had to put them on a plane to fly to Israel afterward..

The time for the truth and transparency is now as we creep into 2012 darkness and the immediate start of the Presidential primaries. In that regard, a vote for Ron Paul in the primaries is a vote against the establishment and the special interest groups that have hijacked our Republic as well as both parties.

One would think that out of all the countries and people, albeit “invented” in the Middle East, the Palestinians would be leading the way to a full Arab Spring, Fall, Summer and Winter until the armed and colonial Jewish Occupation comes to an end. Surprisingly, this has not been the case.

Nearly a decade of wars has taken a grueling toll on the families of thousands of dead warriors, including 20 from Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties.

Several recent exposes reveal how Gingrich has skirted campaign finance rules to raise millions of dollars in unlimited donations from billionaire backers and big industry, with his ability to attract capital showing signs of abiding.

With a government that can't seem to get its act together this is a scary situation, particularly when just in the last five years the number of federal workers earning $150,000 or more a year has soared tenfold and doubled since President Obama took office, a USA TODAY analysis finds, and yet they seek budget cuts in the VA system.

I strongly urge you to co-sponsor and support S 1629, the Agent Orange Equity Act of 2011, introduced by Sen Gillibrand.

A caucus selection process is a much fairer method than party controlled primaries. That is why the GOP establishment fears the voice of the public. A caucus that could actually influence or determine a nomination must be stopped.

I appeared on this week's edition of the Press TV show Remember Palestine.

President Barack Obama signed the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act today, while acknowledging "serious reservations" about parts of the act, particularly provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation, and prosecution of suspected terrorists.

However, you may still wonder if buying a home is the right thing to do. Relax. Having reservations is normal. The more you know about why you should buy a home, the less scary the entire process will appear to you.

The message for every Palestinian solidarity person is pretty clear-Beware!

“The Foreign agenda” …whenever you hear of it, be sure that the people in power are in trouble.

The eventful 2011 did not just change contours of Middle East, it leaves behind a world transformed. What an extraordinary, truly game-changing year has it been! Who would have imagined this time last year that hope would break out of the darkness of a dying year? by Aijaz Zaka Syed.
