US Military destroying hundreds of civilian homes in Kandahar
The Obama Administration made much of the Kandahar offensive’s success hinging on winning hearts and minds to the side of the occupation forces.

Iraq files reveal checkpoint deaths
In September 2007, an Iraqi in a car ventured too close to a US patrol in Baghdad. The soldiers honked their horns; when that didn't cause the car to turn away, one of the gunners fired a warning shot. The bullet - intended to harmlessly hit the pavement - instead hit a bystander. Gunner fires one warning shot from his M4. The bullet ricochets and.. More -
Israel 'declares war on its people'
You could easily miss the thin, gravel road that leads to Al Arakib, a Bedouin village in the north Negev.

Israeli forces have razed the village five times since late July, sparking cries of ethnic cleansing and leaving more than 300 Bedouin.. More -
An education in inequality

Remembering the second intifada
Ten years ago, Ariel Sharon marched on the symbolic heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, flanked by a 1,000-strong security force, and invoked one of the most famous phrases in Israeli history. "The Temple Mount is in our hands," he said, reiterating the radio broadcast from June 1967, when Israeli forces overran Jerusalem and occupied.. More -
Palestinians and the 'Jewish state'

Speaking to a government committee on Sunday, Lieberman said that the guiding.. More -

'The tears have dried up'
Hungry and thirsty, the survivors of the Pakistan floods wait in sodden tents for aid to get through, struggling to come to terms with the events of recent days.

Lebanon's 'hot summer'
Talk of a 'hot summer' has increased among the Lebanese since the beginning of the year. But in Lebanon's case, a 'hot summer' does not refer to the weather. Nor does it refer to the many festivals, concerts, beach parties and hundreds of other 'hot events' taking place. By 'hot summer', the Lebanese mean the heat of war. Everyone in Lebanon is asking..

Making Gaza a 'European ghetto'
While most Israeli leaders are resistant to fully lifting the blockade of Gaza, Avigdor Lieberman, the right-wing foreign minister, is advocating that Israel abandon the Strip to international monitoring and economic rehabilitation. The proposal, recently leaked to the Israeli press, does not amount to freeing Gaza but rather to placing it under European.. More -
