Israel and its supporting lobbies had better learn how to contain their inherent violent tendencies. Israel cannot win this battle. The sooner the Israelis encompass this obvious fact, the better it is for Israel and for world peace.

Everything else reported in the US about Turkey is false, dangerously false. The worst lies are the reports that Turkey's democratic government, freely elected, is "Islamist" and "extremist."

Panel “cannot make definitive findings” It’s completely at odds with what other experts have said.The UN itself has already accepted that Israel's blockade is illegal.

DEMOCRACY NOW! speaks with Norman Finkelstein and Huwaida Arraf, -- Turkey has downgraded diplomatic ties with Israel and frozen military cooperation ahead of a United Nations report on Israel's deadly attack on a Gaza-bound aid ship in 2010.

On the "runup" to 9/11, Israel and their US friends are planning terror scare based on a radiological device.

Bring the Army home and close the friggin' borders totally, "shoot to kill" totally. Freeze all assets held by Federal Reserve banks. If any (almost all) those banks are found to be foreign owned, declare all relationships with them to be inconsistent with our constitution. America will no longer pay banks, particularly foreign owned, to profit on our debt, sell us our own money and do so in direct violation of our laws.

Turkey’s vibrant democracy is an inspiration to Arab countries throwing off their autocratic yoke and their Western patrons.

Israel's attack on the Gaza-bound aid flotilla on America's Memorial Day was all too predictable, although the form it took surprised even me. And it confirms the old proverb that "Those whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad," for the attack was the kind of madness only unbridled arrogance can assume.

Regardless of whether U.S. Special Forces removed bullets from the bodies of the Afghan women they just killed, as charged by the victims' relatives - and if they did, what their motivation was for doing so - spreading the story that the women's bodies had been found "tied up" and "gagged," as NATO did in a Feb. 12 press release still posted on its web site, if that was not true, would meet any disinterested observer's definition of the word "coverup."

Douglas Valentine at Consortium News draws some parallels between our current wars and William the Conqueror, they're not pretty. The bumpkin senator from Oklahoma has started an inquisition of climate scientists; their crimes? Being climate scientists, of course.
