“In light of this long — but still very partial — list of abuses and usurpations committed by Israel, it is past time for the US to end its ‘special relationship’ with Israel and declare its independence from that country,” — by Henry Nor / Common Dreams

It’s difficult to imagine our nation and our national security becoming so endangered across so many fronts with all signs pointing to a common source — yet nothing being done about it.

If you’ve ever tried to search for reliable information and analyses which expose the concealed and obscured side of the Israeli – Palestinian conflict, you’ve surely come across the website “If Americans Knew.” Interview by Kourosh Ziabari / My Catbird Seat

Indignities experienced by me and my co-guests on “The Audacity of Hope,” the American boat to Gaza, over the past 10 days in Athens leave no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama’s administration has forfeited the right to claim any lineage to the brave Americans who declared independence from the king of England 235 years ago. — Ray McGovern

Audacity of Hope is complementary to and can be matched by Resignation of Despair. It is simply the other side of the coin, and a position to which Israel is becoming much closer than the “Audacity of Hope” which is falsely purported to have fired the foundations of Israel in the late forties and early fifties. by Debbie Menon / My Catbird Seat
