Longing for Zion, dreaming of Kurdistan
More than 80 years after first immigrating to Israel, Kurdish Jews still maintain ties to their traditions and culture, as well as to their non-Jewish ethnic kin.

Unsubstantiated ‘false flag’ story exaggerates Israeli power
Mark Perry’s report on a false flag operation is not only unverifiable, it displays naivety about American foreign policy and bolsters the ludicrous thesis that Israel is the mastermind behind American Middle East belligerence.

The “Obama Doctrine:” A blessing or a curse for the conflict?

The Light-Bringers: on Anat Kamm, Bradley Manning and Wikileaks
Wikileaks, Anat Kamm and Bradley Manning expose the corrupting power of secrecy. The whistleblowing site Wikileaks published during the weekend some 392,000 classified military documents, which it received, in all likelihood, from a US army soldier, Bradley Manning, who is already on trial. The documents, published in tandem with the New York Times, the Guardian…
