Israel: Blackmailing the world By William Bowles
3 August 2006 Israel’s deliberate and continued destruction of Lebanon is intended to force the Western powers to occupy the country on US/Israel’s behalf I’ve spent the last couple of days doing (almost) nothing but reading, trying to get a handle on events. Firstly, it’s obvious to anyone who knows anything about Lebanon and the Continue reading

Is Lebanon the Great Unravelling? By William Bowles
I think it’s now clear that the gamble the US took with its proxy force, Israel, is a military-political disaster. Soon, there won’t be much left to destroy in Lebanon, then what? There are several options open to Israel (US), none of them too inviting, yet sooner or later the real world will force the… Continue reading

Israel: A wolf dressed in victim’s clothes and why the destruction of Lebanon is a strategic disaster for the Empire By William Bowles
I’ll huff and I’ll puff and I’ll blow your house down said the Wolf. Well the Wolf is huffing and puffing but the house is not built of straw and Hezbollah (how is it spelt? Hez or Hiz?) are proving to be a very tenacious opponent. Okay, Israel has overwhelming orthodox military power but has… Continue reading

A US call to (more) arms By William Bowles
In Lebanon, the US, unable to carry it out on its own or with its so-called allies has instructed Israel to do the dirty work on its behalf, a mission it is only too willing to take up, having failed twice before. Continue reading

Ariel Sharon still killing from (almost) beyond the grave By William Bowles
So even from his deathbed Ariel Sharon lives on—to kill. As I stated in ‘Just testing the waters’, the murderous terror bombing was planned months ago. It’s Guernica all over again, reports are coming in that Israel has been using banned weapons on Lebanon, phosphorus and so-called vacuum bombs. Continue reading

Israel – just testing the waters? By William Bowles
From the days of the Balfour Declaration (1914) through to the establishment of Israel in 1948 and then the Suez War in 1956, the Six Day War in 1967 and finally the war of 1973, Israel has proved itself to be a loyal vehicle of Western imperial objectives. That it also has objectives that to… Continue reading

When a war is not a war (unless the media says it is) By William Bowles
From the statements being put out by the Israeli government, they are looking to create a basis for widening the war from the Occupied Territories to include both Syria and Iran including an allegation that the two soldiers captured by Hizbollah soldiers are going to be transferred to Iran. Continue reading

Israel, ‘Ye reap what ye sow’ By William Bowles
Well, as the bible says ‘ye reap what ye sow’ and the events currently unfolding in the Occupied Territories constitute a real turning point. The Zionist state has created a situation for which there are only two options open to it. Either it follows through with its decades-long objective of totally erasing what’s left of… Continue reading

Israel – Britain’s Imperialist Rottweiler By William Bowles
Frankly, I am beside myself with despair and anger at the actions of the Israeli government which have, as one commentator put it, more in common with the Nazi onslaught on the Warsaw Ghetto than any nonsense about defending the Israeli people from ‘terrorism’. Continue reading

Cockroaches of the World Unite! By William Bowles
There can be no clearer example of the inherently racist nature of Western ‘civilisation’ than the events of the past week. And if anyone doubt the power of language to shape our perception of events let them look no further than the alleged exemplar of ‘objective’ reporting, the BBC and its treatment of the genocidal… Continue reading

(Don’t) Mention the J** word By William Bowles
26 August 2005 Speaking at a memorial for the victims of a Palestinian attack that took place 26 years ago, [Israeli Deputy Defense Minister Ze’ev] Boim said: “What is it about Islam as a whole and the Palestinians in particular? Is it some form of cultural deprivation? Is it some genetic defect? There is something Continue reading

The crime against humanity that is the state of Israel. Is there no end? by William Bowles
Every day I get flooded with news, appeals, analysis and background on the crime against humanity that is the state of Israel, but as far as the West is concerned, the daily atrocities being committed against the people of Palestine are non-events. Were such crimes being committed by virtually any country other than Israel, the… Continue reading

Guilt or Guilty? By William Bowles
Without doubt, the Israeli propaganda machine has been a resounding ‘success’ in that it has been able to instil in many of us such feelings of guilt about the Holocaust that few dare even mention the word Jew without surrounding it with a plethora of qualifications lest anyone think that it contains even a hint… Continue reading

Rumbling in the Ruling Ranks By William Bowles
Much play has been made over the statement by 52 former UK diplomats accusing the government of an “illegal” occupation of Iraq and of doing a volte face over Israeli occupation of Palestine. But before the anti-war posse get all worked up over it, it’s wise to check their statement a little more carefully before… Continue reading

How much the value of a (Palestinian) life By William Bowles
In a ten-day period, there were over 70 individual violent actions against Palestinians by Israeli Occupation Forces resulting in deaths and woundings of innocent civilians, destruction of property, confiscations and deportations. Where was the coverage in the Western Media? Continue reading

The Media’s Double Standard By William Bowles
I’ve often referred to the strategy that is the core of the ‘new’ imperialist agenda, the so-called ‘double standard’ articulated by Robert Cooper, now Blair’s pro-consul in Afghanistan. And although cloaked in ‘post-modernist’ phraseology, effectively, it’s a rollback to an earlier, imperialist epoch, a time when the Western world went unchallenged, aside from the occasional… Continue reading

Snared on the Web By William Bowles
The latest attack on freedom of speech might not bother non-Americans but the State Department’s move to add Websites to its list of “Blocked Persons, Specially Designated Nationals, Specially Designated Terrorists, Specially Designated Global Terrorists, Foreign Terrorist Organizations, and Specially Designated Narcotics Traffickers” should.

Two into one won’t go By William Bowles
The whys and wherefores of the massive con job that the rulers of Israel have done on the people of this planet will no doubt be the subject of innumerable books at some time in the future. A future that’s not afraid to speak out on the issue of Israeli racism and imperialism and the… Continue reading

The lights are on but is anyone home? By William Bowles
Bush the smaller made his pitch to the nation over the weekend to “save civilisation” from terrorism and told us that the “frontline” was now Iraq. So Saddam disappears not only literally but also figuratively to be replaced by the generic ‘threat’ that has been the real core of the propaganda since 9/11. And in… Continue reading
