Raimondo: Israel versus America - Is the 'special relationship' over?
The role played by Israel as the catalyst for war in the Middle East was dramatically underscored the other day, when David Sanger of the New York Times reported Israel had requested access to "bunker-buster" bombs developed by the US, and also clearance for flying over Iraqi airspace to get at Iran. Both requests were denied.
Israel Attacks Media - Literally
With its continued refusal, after 20 days, to allow international journalists into the Gaza Strip to cover the ongoing war, the Israeli government is no stranger to being accused of attacks on freedom of the press. But earlier today, attacks on journalists’ ability to cover the war turned into an attack on journalists.

Our Palestinian Future in Israel: How Long Can We Be Dehumanised in a Racist State?
On the face of it, the “boker tov” greeting was natural and expected. But why did it upset me? Something did not settle well with me. By itself, it was a natural human greeting, but in an unnatural context and environment: these two men were there, on my land, only because they happened to be Jews (and, most likely, Zionists). Thus, they were rendered privileged to live in a subsidised house that was built for them on stolen Arab land, while people in my village are not even permitted to build or expand their houses on their very own land in order to meet the need of their extended families, only because they happened to be Palestinian Arabs. This is what did not settle well with me. Because, as they passed me on that October Saturday morning, we were not equal under this Zionist-Jewish system, nor did we have access to the same resources – economic, legal, political, etc. – in a place where I should have been “more equal” and more privileged, having been born on this very land.
The racist, sociopathic, psychotic, beligerent, violent, habitual liar of a state created from stolen land by means of terrorism continues to show no respect whatsoever for human life (that is, other than their own pathetic asses) and goes on defying every norm and precept of international law while displaying no sense of morality whatsoever.

'Tungsten bombs' leave Israel's victims with mystery wounds
Two children were killed yesterday when Israeli tanks shelled a UN school in which families were sheltering, leading a UN spokesman, Chris Gunness, to say: "There has to be an investigation to determine whether a war crime has been committed." The call was dismissed by an Israeli foreign ministry spokesman, Yigal Palmor, who said: "These claims of war crimes are not supported by the slightest piece of evidence." But among numerous allegations of disproportionate use of force, questions are also multiplying about the use of unconventional weapons by
Webmaster's Commentary:
Back in 2003, Israel authorized the IDF to use flechette rounds. These are essentially giant tank-fired shotgun shells, supplied by the United States, that spray a cone-shaped area with about 5000 metal darts. Designed for use against enemy infantry, their use in civilian areas is of dubious legality in that for every intended target killed by such a shell, dozens of non-combatants are also killed or wounded.
Given the high number of non-combatants
