This is not a history lesson; thus, there won?t be a need to examine or re-examine the sinister role played out by certain world powers, a role that in many aspects invented the conflict, or to say the least, fashioned it to serve their imperial interests in the region. But one can hardly circumvent from divulging the most obvious fact of all, that while imperial agendas and “great games” invented and fuelled the conflict, apathy and silence forced its continuation.

You can kick a scholar when he’s dead if he’s a Palestinian, and kick a journalist when he’s dead if you want to claim he was murdered by Palestinians. But now the same sick fantasies are taking hold in Australia, where a determined effort is being made by Israel’s supposed friends there to prevent the Palestinian scholar Hanan Ashrawi - of all people - from receiving the 2003 Sydney Peace Prize this week.

The World Crisis Web has steered clear of conspiracy theories surrounding the WTC and Pentagon attacks of September 11th 2001, believing that many of the wild and unsubstantiated claims about Zionist links to the attack serve both anti-semitics and the Israeli right-wing more than they do truth.

The real story in the New York Times article about Paul Bremer’s complaints about the media is not just about a political bum moaning about a great media-watchdog - as the NYT would have us believe.

Downplaying the views of the people he represents, EU spokesman Gerassimos Thomas said that European governments would ignore the recent poll showing that 59 per cent of Europeans see Israel as more of a threat to peace than ‘rogue nations’, Iran or North Korea. “A poll is a poll, and policy is policy,” he promised Israeli media. However, the poll results will give oppressed Palestinians some comfort in their struggle for self-determination.

The key fact of the resistance is that it is decentralized - the classic first stage of guerrilla warfare against an occupying army. Sunday’s downing of a USA Chinook helicopter follows that same pattern. Whether these groups will move to the second stage and establish an Iraqi National Liberation Front remains to be seen.

Throughout the world , people opposed to Israel’s Apartheid Wall - local councils, civil society organizations, political parties, youth groups, schools and universities, and the population at large - are carrying out a momentous week of activities beginning on November 9th in opposition to the Israeli Apartheid Wall. The day is expected to witness a massive popular force that is to strengthen grassroots mobilization, which could turn November 9th into the beginning of the destruction of the Wall in Palestine.

Someone breaks into your shop that’s been in your family for generations, cuts off your electricity and water, destroys your cash register and part of your building, scares the life out of your employees and commandeers your stock at gunpoint. Then he tells you that you need help sorting out your business, and he’ll be glad to provide said help.
