2003: A WAR Inspired by and Made for ISRAEL
(December 31, 2003)
"It was seen as a second Palestine, not so much because it was a foreign conquest of another Arab country, but because, via the Bush Administration's neo-conservative hawks, it was at least as much Israeli in inspiration and purpose as it was American. The mighty blow struck in Baghdad would so weaken other Arab regimes that the Palestinians, more than ever bereft of Arab support, would submit to that full-scale Israeli subjugation and dispossession of all but a last pitiful fragment of their original homeland."
SHARON ATTACKS, PROVOKES, PREPARES
(December 27, 2003)
The Israelis have done things of this kind in the past. General Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is in fact the master of tactical provocation followed by strategic escalation. In recent years Sharon ignited Intifada II for his own purposes -- to take complete power, to essentially imprison Arafat as well as the 'peace process', and to quickly expand building 'the wall'. Now Sharon is determined to further inflame the conflict and crush this generation of Palestinians into submission.
What the Israelis Have Done to Bethlehem - NOT a Merry Christmas
(December 25, 2003)
Lets gets real here as another new year dawns. All this hubub this year past about 'Palestinian State', 'Geneva', and ad naseum 'peace process'...that's the past, those days are in fact gone now. The 'unilateral' and 'disengagement' approach about which Ariel Sharon of Israel publicly spoke this month has in actuality been Israeli policy "on the ground" for quite a long time now. The historical die is now cast.
Saddam Capture Show a Deception and Hoax?
(December 22, 2003)
The first major challenge to the American story of the capture of Saddam came over the weekend when Agence-France Press (AFP) published the following short article late Saturday picking up from the British media. Then, from the Sydney Morning Herald today this much more detailed article and analysis. As usual the compliant corporate American media is both asleep at the switch and afraid of the powers that be. They'll get on it only after others have already broken the ground and only when it is too late. Increasingly, the whole televised 'We Got Him' Saddam capture show and display has all the trappings of a classical CIA manipulation and deception effort.
Sharon's Ideological Core
(December 19, 2003)
"When he took the oath as Prime Minister not only was the ghost
of Vladamir Jabotinsky in the room applauding but his picture
was prominently on the wall."
ARIEL SHARON "Unilateral Disengagement" Speech
(December 18, 2003)
Israeli Prime Minister ARIEL SHARON's "Unilateral Disengagement" Speech delivered in Israel on 18 December 2003.
"IT IS as IT WAS" - The Pope on Christ and the Jews
(December 18, 2003)
This is truly an unusual Pope...one who does indeed take pride in attempting to be principled and honest, as conservative and yesteryear as he oftentimes appears. And now with these five words the Pope of Rome in his last days has in a sense reignited the very historical controversy surrounding 'the Jews' that he tried to significantly amend when he opened up working relations with international Jewry, visited Israel as well as a Palestinian refugee camp, and became the first Pope in history to visit a synagogue. And with these five words the Pope has as well helped underscore that the powerful Israeli/Jewish lobby does not always get its way...and in fact sometimes shoots itself in the foot.

Sharon Prepares 'Major Policy Address'
(December 16, 2003)
Sharon prepares to publicly orate in a few days about what he is now going to do having here-to-fore masterminded the settlements, the coming to power of the Likud, his own rise to the pinnacle of power, and most recently his sparking of Intifada II, his consolidation of Zionist Apartheid, and his building of the 'Wall'.
SADDAM
(December 14, 2003)
No pictures of now U.S. Vice-President, then U.S. Pentagon Secretary, Dick Cheney officially meeting with him in years past...years and meetings they now wish forgotten.
No interview on any TV channels here or anywhere with American Ambassador April Glaspie, instructed by the former Bush President to pay a special visit to Saddam in one of his largest Baghdad palaces of yesteryear to inform him how important an Arab leader the Americans considered him to be.
No reminders from the American media that when in fact he did use chemical weapons of mass destruction in 1988 he was one of the top U.S. allies with his weapons supplied and paid for by the U.S. and Britain.
Saddam the tyrant, Saddam the meglamaniac, Saddam the President, Saddam the dictator, Saddam the wanabe Saladin....now captured disheveled hiding in a hole lacking even the courage of his own long-professed and repeatedly-expressed convictions.
Israel Did It! Where's the Investigation? Where's the Outrage?
(December 12, 2003)
Even with a former ranking Israeli official publicly calling for an investigation of the false and misleading information provided by the Israelis to push the U.S. to invade Iraq, still official Washington cowers. Add to that this article by former Israeli Mossad officer Victor Ostrovsky which shows the tactics that Mossad uses in order to manipulate both world affairs and public perceptions. These are the very same tactics and methods being currently used now to manipulate US government policies, public opinion as well as to disseminate disinformation about the 'war on terrorism' and the Palestinian Intifada.
LIES AND DECEPTIONS THEN AND NOW
(December 10, 2003)
Back in 1997 the politicians of all stripes were loudly proclaiming the virtues of the "peace process" insisting it was "irreversible" and would soon finally result in a "Palestinian State". Clinton was President, Arafat was traveling here and there and everywhere, Peres and Barak were riding high. Beilin and Abed-Rabbo by the way -- those recently of 'Geneva' fame (or is it 'infamy') -- were both Minister VIPs pushing hard the 'Oslo Peace Process' while fattening their numerous personal bank accounts...just as they are now. But very frankly...we knew better. MER was speaking up loudly then about all the lies, the treacherous deceptions, the miserably self-serving politicians, the amazingly compliant corporate media...about the harsh brutality that even then we knew was building not to peaceful relatons but to violent explosion...just as we are now.
16th Intifada Anniversary
(December 8, 2003)
Intifada Anniversary
(December 8, 2003)
Adjusted to the size of the U.S. population the Palestinians have suffered more than a quarter million killed and over 4 million wounded since the start of the Intifada 16 years ago today.
The Real Yossi Beilin
(December 7, 2003)
Yossi Beilin has quite a past...and not one most Palestinians find very positive and certainly not very trustworthy.
Geneva Delusions, Washington Deceptions
(December 4, 2003)
Today'situation is far far far worse than before all the lies, tricks, and deceptions of Oslo I. Now there's a kind of Oslo II following on top of Gulf War II and designed to deligitimize and extinquish Intifada II. And it's all already on course for even worse disasters ahead.
America the Brutal, America the Ugly

This MER Editorial from six years ago fits today's situation to a tee and in fact helps explains how today's situation has come to be.
