DEAR FRIENDS:

The Weekly Blast will bring you the websites' TOP posts of the week, Interviews and BEST videos.

In view of the recent "Peace negotiations" farce, we have kicked off this week, with a series themed: "What next for Palestine ?"

Below, are three interesting perspectives, recommending, the bringing back of a re-structured and re-invigorated PNC to include and represent ALL factions, yes, yes, Hamas too, ALL Palestinians in order to free ALL Palestinians from the brutal boot of Zionism.

Insightful; tragically... probably correct; hopeful ? No!

Bad and sad news for Palestinians, and a true indictment of the moral qualities of the Arab regime. Will it provoke them to "do the right 'thing?" I am not holding my breath.

Mr. Hart will respond to his critiques in a follow-up piece next week.

1. ALAN HART: DOES THE PALESTINIAN DIASPORA CARE ENOUGH TO BECOME ENGAGED?

Will future historians conclude that the Palestinian diaspora betrayed its occupied and oppressed brothers and sisters? The real history of the making and sustaining of the conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel invites the conclusion that the Arab regimes – more by default than design in my view – betrayed the Palestinians. The question this article addresses is: Will future historians conclude that the Palestinian diaspora betrayed its occupied and oppressed brothers and sisters? There's no mystery about the Arab (regime) betrayal. When the Palestine file was closed by Israel's 1948 victory on the battlefield and the armistice agreements, the divided and impotent Arab regimes secretly shared the same hope as the Zionists and the major powers. It was that the file would remain closed for ever. The Palestinians were supposed to accept their lot as the sacrificial lamb on the altar of political expediency.

2. STUART LITTLEWOOD: START AGAIN WITH A CLEAN SHEET, PALESTINIANS

So criminal within itself, it flinches from upholding the rule of international law. So corrupt, it happily outsources its foreign policy to terrorists in Tel Aviv. The idea that America acts as an honest broker for peace between its fellow cut-throat Israel and their victim, Palestine, on whose neck the Zionist jackboot is firmly planted, is a joke that is only funny in the hysterical sense. The idea that any country, let alone America, would promote talks where one party is expected to make concessions to another which is bent on land-theft and whose government can only survive if it continues to defy international law, is madness. But Obama is up for it.

3. NUREDDIN SABIR: DISBANDING THE PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY WOULD SCUPPER ISRAELI STRATEGY

Often at seminal historical junctures the need to venture "outside the box" and think the unthinkable becomes critical. Such a moment is now upon the Palestinians. At stake is whether they will survive as a people or dissolve into the oblivion of the banished: ethnically cleansed from their homeland, the world's new gypsies, a second-class a second-class diaspora, third-class inhabitants of isolated reservations. The challenge facing the Palestinians now is to step back from the abyss and seize the moment by turning threats and dangers into game-changing opportunities and a new strategic vision.

In this latest Criminal State Series: The Hate Mongers Among Us, pretty much sums it up -- All well-timed agent provocateur stunts designed to advance the latest narrative -- and all traceable to the identical ideological core and as usual, the power of association is once again deployed to wage war on the U.S. in plain sight -- with the usual suspects blaming the U.S., many of them alleged "progressives." Brilliant war-waging strategy—in a typically psychopathic sort of way. This duplicity can only work if done in plain sight – observes Jeff Gates.
"Certainly the "unbreakable bond" rhetoric ran contrary to U.S. interests. Israel's domination of a superpower's foreign policy has enormous consequences worldwide. The facts suggest these thugs are running for cover -- and finding nowhere to hide. Thus the need for clumsy operations like the Crotch Bomber -- and the Times Square Fizzler?"

JEFF GATES: THE HATE MONGERS AMONG US — First in a 4-part series

Sabbah Report

Hate is a harsh word. As the counterpoint to love, hate reigns supreme among those emotions that the faith traditions seek to expunge from the human heart. Hate we're told is the face of evil seen in plumes of smoke and ash on 911. Yet hate also serves a purpose for those adept at catalyzing conflicts. In the aftermath of that horrific event, hate we're assured is a desired emotional state. Yet induced hate led us into two unwinnable wars. Hate may yet take us into Iran Or Pakistan. That hate is also bankrupting us both financially and psychologically.

GORDON DUFF: IS AMERICA'S MILITARY PREPARED FOR THE ISRAELI THREAT?

CAN AMERICA STOP AN ISRAELI "NUCLEAR" 9/11?
"The American people are afraid, they see disaster coming. Everyone is waiting to see what city is chosen to be sacrificed. Will it be Phoenix or Sacramento or perhaps Atlanta? This is the real fear, the "not so secret" fear in the heart of every American."
For years, America's military has been divided, competent military professionals and patriots on one side and Christian Zionists, loyal to Israel and addicted to a propaganda "dreamworld" on the other. Americans sat, on 9/11, with their military "asleep at the switch," their president in a daze and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld, perhaps out of confusion, we may never know, talking about airliners being shot down and the Pentagon being attacked by missiles. Yes, he said these things, things he couldn't "unsay" but things the press showed once and quickly buried. Something terribly wrong happened, something years in planning, but not planned in a cave in Afghanistan. Everywhere investigators look, one thing pops up, Israel. The moment that door is opened, it is slammed shut, often with threats, often with more than threats.

PHILIP GIRALDI: A BIPARTISAN LOOK AT THE ISRAEL LOBBY

The Bipartisan Policy Center might claim to be bipartisan because it includes both Democrats and Republicans but that does not mean that it is objective. Two years ago it produced a "task force" report on the Iranian threat called "Meeting the Challenge: US Policy Toward Iranian Nuclear Development." It concluded that Iran has no right to enrich nuclear fuel for any purpose and predicted that Tehran would have sufficient highly enriched uranium in one year's time to build a bomb. It advocated talking to Tehran to give it a chance to surrender on all key issues before attacking it, urging newly elected but not yet inaugurated President Barack Obama to build up forces for the assault. The task force recommended that the US military should, after bombing Iran into submission, remain in the area vigilant and ready to react to any possible attempt at retaliation by Tehran.

THE SOURCE OF AMERICA'S WARS – KRISTOL CLEAR [VIDEO]

Written by Maidhc Ó Cathail –
Americans feeling let down by Barack Obama's escalation of the war in Afghanistan should take careful note of those who welcomed yet another "surge." It might help them to identify the source of their seemingly endless wars.
For instance, in a recent Washington Post opinion piece, William Kristol described Obama's West Point speech as "encouraging." It was "a good thing," he said, that Obama was finally speaking as "a war president." But if the comments on the Post website are anything to go by, few ordinary Americans take Kristol's armchair warmongering seriously anymore. After all, as one poster quizzically asked, "A column by William Kristol the neocon that was wrong about everything from 2000-2008?" Although Kristol, like the rest of the neocons, "erred" about Iraq's WMDs and Saddam's links to Al Qaeda and 9/11, it would be a fatal error indeed to dismiss him as a fool.

PETE CHARLES: BBC BIAS — PANORAMA PROGRAMME EXPOSED

Pete takes the BBC Panorama bias story another step forward, in a quiet, compelling and balanced way. He observes, "one would have expected some aspect of international law to be explored by BBC in this programme." A 'brief' look by Pete Charles, at some of the points in the controversial BBC documentary 'Death in The Med'.

ISLAMOPHOBIA IN AMERICA ?

– Press TV Reports: As conditions in Afghanistan and Iraq continue to deteriorate and casualties from the two wars continue to mount, the US media is attempting to garner support for the highly unpopular conflicts by portraying law-abiding Muslims as terrorists and extremists.

PRESS TV'S KANEEZ FATIMA TALKS TO JAMES MORRIS ON US BLASPHEMY

James Morris, a known critique of Israel Lobby, does an excellent job in this PRESS TV interview, describing the influences, forces, and purposes behind Pastor Jones and his insane infamy, including the irrelevance of Pastor Jones and his petty, fanatic and lunatic Unchristian Congregation of imbeciles.

PRESS TV TALKS TO MARK GLENN ABOUT ISLAMOPHOBIA IN AMERICA

PRESS TV also talks to the ever eloquent, poignant and passionate Mark Glenn of Crescent and Cross Solidarity Movement, about Islamo-phobia in the US.

I thought all of this Islamo-phobic talk we are hearing about going on in America, was "Hate Speech" and against current US Laws, anyway. So, why isn't it being investigated and prosecuted ?

Is the ADL (Israeli Anti-Defemation League), not a USG organization, the only organization authorized by US Law to bring charges of religious/racist "Hate Speech" against someone?

Why is it that the NYTimes and other US Corporate Media, usually so precise in defining the ethnicity, religion and social affiliations of any Muslim who commits a sin or act of outrage against society, so reckless when it comes to calling the proposed Park 51 Mosque, which has already been named The Cordoba House, "The Ground Zero Mosque," which, not located at Ground Zero, it definitely cannot be?

Is this a blatant case of Corporate ownership meddling in and corrupting Editorial Policy and Truth for subversive political or profitable gain, or is it simply an instance of biased Editorship?

In either event, is this good Journalism?

Let us look at the ownership and the Editorial board of these media to see what we might find behind such deterioration of what was once a respectable and respected profession, and which has now become little more than a mess of disinformation-whore houses, prostituting their own diseased, corrupted and biased agenda as sexily= dressed up "news."

I sometimes wonder why men and women who could otherwise have been honest and lived honorable lives do these kind of things. It is almost as if there are no honest men or women left in politics who are not under the management of AIPAC and the Israeli lobby.

We do live in a bizarre world, and modern history reads like a Hollywood plot. Hollywood, a predominantly Jewish dominated industry, heart and key supporter of AIPAC and Israeli lobbyist ventures.

The only "cure" for this fatal disease inflicting America and threatening world peace, if it is not already too late for cure, is public education, through dissemination of information, the truth, and the story of what is actually happening in America today.
