"It is an appropriate time to juggle-around-with the strategy—most exclusively, featured by love and affection towards the innocent men, women and children—who have and are—not only facing a lot of perils, swelling with every sunup but are also confronted with deaths and despair in the wake of displacement from their centuries-old dwellings—and that too without any culpability on their part."

"What remains is for Israel to remove settlements and withdraw more or less to the 1967 lines, thereby ensuring that Israel remains a Jewish state and that a viable Palestinian state can emerge. Only then will there truly be "Arab and Jewish States" here."

"As the Palestinian Arabs live under a brutal and an illegal occupation and oppression, they turn to their music and art to help them through the pain and suffering they have been forced to endure since the Zionist entity of "Israel."

"Israel maintains this iron grip on the pretext of security. This is rubbish masquerading as truth, and visiting this kind of collective punishment upon an innocent population is absolutely illegal, with no exceptions under the law."

"The impact of the propaganda is so powerful that people have begun to believe that the methods of killing deployed by the US is somehow more ‘humane’ and thus palatable."

"Vanunu's release highlights the nuclear debate in the Middle East - the US will actively support its allies in obtaining nuclear weapons, but will go to war in nations which don't fall under the American sphere of influence."

"...Palestinian civilians are killed every day. Only a small fraction of the incidents are reported in the media. An old handicapped man was recently buried under the ruins of his home by an army bulldozer that demolished it so quickly that his family had no chance of getting him to safety."

"It is beyond rational explanation why the Democrats have wasted tens of millions running dobbin against an opponent whose sole merit was his determination to finish a story about goats after planes struck the World Trade Center."

"...opportunities for a fair governance, true democracy and civil society in Pakistan can only flourish when democratic practices are allowed to prevail under the supremacy of unchanged constitution."

"In an April Fool’s Day fantasy, set in 2005, President George W. Bush, Jr. has been arrested by military officials. There’s a coup d’etat in America! Bush is being held as an, “Enemy Combatant” for selling the country out to the New World Order. The Joint Chiefs of Staff, in a Manifesto, say, “The U.S. invasion of Iran, on March 17, 2005, was the absolute final straw for us.” But this is only a silly April Fool’s Day dream. Or, is it?"

"The Bush administration was already strongly identified with the neoconservatives and with the Christian Right, but the catastrophe of 9/11 and the resulting War on Terrorism hugely magnified that influence, creating a heightened sense that the Word of God now emanated from the White House."

"In putting American votes before Sudanese peace, in both western and southern Sudan, Washington is playing a very dangerous game indeed."

"The White House has tried to distract the news media from dwelling on the milestone of 1,000 American deaths in Iraq. Meanwhile, the lethal toll among Iraqi civilians is a media abstraction. In the U.S. press, those victims -- far more numerous and no less precious to their loved ones -- go uncounted and unnamed."

"...Iran's and America's post-war visions differ widely. Much to Iran's dismay, the US seems determined to preserve its interests in Iraq for the long run, and wishes to play a central role in its rehabilitation. Washington hopes to transform Iraq into a bridgehead for democracy in the region, while Iran dreads the spread of liberal ideas among its disaffected youth, particularly if they emanate from a US-backed Iraq."

"Instead of spending real time and effort on understanding the West and the Western media, we either blame it all on a Zionist conspiracy or try to create our own English language television station."

"Americans feel far more empathy for foreigners who died in the World Trade Center than for innocent victims of the American "Shock and Awe" campaign over Baghdad."

"Strange that it is George Bush who is calling for Crusade "holy war" or Jihad and we are told that it is Islam and Muslims who want to wage a "holy" war."

"Israel's most crucial allies include the mass media of the United States. Together with top officials in Washington, news outlets keep reinforcing the assumption that the Israeli government can do little wrong."

"...while Iran's hand seems to have been temporarily strengthened, it is still far too early to tell the ultimate reverberations of the Iraq war."

"...IDEAS is now an effective instrument of purpose to display Pakistan’s military wares and give foreign manufacturers interested in the Pakistan defence market an opportunity to show off their products."
