What’s most enlightening about the attacks on Dr. Paul and his views and positions is the fact that when you really get down to it, his sin is that he’s too unwilling to tow the official line on issues across the board, too willing to challenge the lies and war propaganda, and too honest with the American public about real issues.
A featured article in this month’s issue of Mother Jones is entitled “Rich People Create Jobs! And five other myths that must die for our economy to live.” If rich people don’t create jobs, where do they come from? Hmm… You can see where the argument is going. The gist…
The Republican presidential candidates are falling all over themselves competing for who can be the most “pro-Israel”, with Newt Gingrich taking the game to a whole new level last week when he said in an interview with The Jewish Channel that Palestinians were an “invented” people. When asked whether he…
The reason Iran's nuclear program has become so controversial has nothing to do with nuclear nonproliferation.…
Foreign Policy Journal — Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld was at the very least informed in May 2003 by the head of the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq, L. Paul Bremer III, that the Iraqi army would be disbanded, a decision that was instrumental in helping to spur the…
In sum, neither INN nor Dr. Nisan have managed to point to even a single error in either fact or logic on my part in my essay. The facts are as I have stated them, and the logical conclusions drawn inescapable.…
There is a widely accepted belief that United Nations General Assembly Resolution 181 "created" Israel, based upon an understanding that this resolution partitioned Palestine or otherwise conferred legal authority or legitimacy to the declaration of the existence of the state of Israel.

Erasing Iraq: The Human Costs of Carnage, a new book by Mike Otterman, Richard Hil, and Paul Wilson (available from the AET Book Club), sets out to deconstruct the narrative of the United States as the benign guardian of Iraqi interests by presenting an account of the tragedy of…
Japan on Friday marked the 65th anniversary of the nuclear bomb attack on Hiroshima. U.S. Ambassador John V. Roos attended the annual ceremony that marks the event. It was the first time a U.S. official had done so. The New York Times explains the reason: Until Friday, American officials had…
Tirades against Noam Chomsky never cease to amaze me. And I’m not talking about the kind of criticisms of the man that come from Alan Dershowitz and other apologists for Israeli crimes; I mean from critics of Israel who support Palestinian rights. There are a number of common gripes about…
The two-state solution is dead. There is no longer any hope for peace or justice in this solution, if there ever was to begin with.…
It is a simple and uncontroversial point of fact under international law that Israel has no legal claim to Jerusalem, that Jerusalem is rather undisputed Palestinian territory, and that Israel's occupation of the city is illegal.…
It is often claimed that Israel’s attack on Egypt that began the June 1967 “Six Day War” was a “preemptive” one. Implicit in that description is the notion that Israel was under imminent threat of an attack from Egypt. Yet this historical interpretation of the war is not sustained by…
New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman repeats the myth: We had a civil war in America in the mid-19th century because we had a lot of people who believed bad things — namely that you could enslave people because of the color of their skin. The implication is that…
Manucher Ghorbanifar, the Iranian arms dealer who served as a go-between for the CIA, Israel, and the regime of Ayatollah Ruhuollah Komeini during the Iran-Contra affair, was “a trusted friend and kitchen adviser to Mir Hussein Mousavi, Prime Minister in the Khomeini government”, said TIME magazine back in 1987.
