This is Part I of a three-part series. No one in their right mind would consider Jerome Corsi a liberal or a leftist. Corsi received a Ph.D. from Harvard University in political science in 1972 and has written many books and articles, including co-authoring with John O'Neill the No. 1 New York Times best seller "Unfit for Command: Swift Boat Veterans Speak Out Against John Kerry." The 2004 book was a defining character study of presidential candidate John Kerry. "Unfit for Command" may have been the single biggest reason John Kerry is not president today and George W. Bush is....

Abortion Can Be a Sacred Choice BY CONNIE SCHULTZ With the simplest of gestures, any woman in America can lay her hands on the battleground here at home. It's beneath the soft flesh of her own body, the area nestled between her hips where babies are conceived or not, carried to term or not. By merely resting her hand across her abdomen, a woman can find the combustible intersection of politics and religion where the mighty turf war is being waged. If you listen only to those who scream the loudest, you might think that most Americans of faith believe...

MARSEILLES, France, June 28, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A documentary promoting euthanasia received the 5th European Broadcasting Union Golden Link Award, at the documentary film festival the Sunny Side of the Doc, in Marseilles last week.EXIT, le droit de mourir (the right to die) was produced using public funds by an association of five European Public Broadcasters. The documentary promotes Switzerland’s liberal approach to assisted suicide, where organizations have set up clinics offering assisted suicide “services”, for a fee, to both Swiss residents and foreigners.The film purports to show “how volunteers accompany sick and handicapped people towards a death of...

The al-Aksa mosque is mistakenly called, “Omar’s mosque” after the first Caliph of Jerusalem who captured the city in 638CE. This religious shrine was a hoax-gone-bad for Caliph Abd al-Wahd (705-715 CE). Wahd actually completed construction and named it al-Aksa so that it would sound like the one mentioned in the Koran. Wahd desired to draw prayer and, more importantly, attention to the place where he was then ruler, Jerusalem. This attempt failed since Mohammed had a stern restriction regarding Jerusalem. The site fell into disrepair and, up until this century, no Islamic monarch deemed the Dome or the mosque...

"Iran’s stance has always been clear on this ugly phenomenon [i.e., Israel]. We have repeatedly said that this cancerous tumor of a state should be removed from the region.” No, those are not the words of Iran’s president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, speaking last week. Rather, that was Ali Khamene’i, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s supreme leader, in December 2000. In other words, Ahmadinejad’s call for the destruction of Israel was nothing new but conforms to a well-established pattern of regime rhetoric and ambition. “Death to Israel!” has been a rallying cry for the past quarter-century. Ahmadinejad quoted Ayatollah Khomeini, its founder,...

Sylvia Ponce had already suffered two miscarriages and lost three babies to premature birth when she went into labor on Aug. 30, 1999. Her labor again had come dangerously early, and at 2:10 a.m. on Sept. 1, David Ponce entered the world weighing less than 11/2 lbs. When Sylvia heard him cry, her heart jumped. "I asked, 'Is he alive?'" she recalls. He was, replied the obstetrician attending the delivery. "I was so happy," says Sylvia, "and I was begging that they try to save my son." But what happened next thrust Sylvia, 44, and her then common-law husband Manuel,...

ISTANBUL, Turkey - Turkish bookshops have a best seller, but some of them are hesitant about giving it too much display. It's "Mein Kampf." The popularity of Adolf Hitler's book, filled with anti-Jewish diatribes and dreams of world domination, is puzzling some Turks. Does it reflect rising anti-Semitic or anti-Western sentiment in Muslim Turkey? Or anger over Israel's treatment of the Palestinians and the war in Iraq (news - web sites)? Is it a backlash against the country's moves to join the European Union (news - web sites)? Or does it simply offer a cheap thrill? At least two new...

BABY DOE The cases of Baby Doe in Bloomington, Indiana and that of Baby Jane Doe in New York demonstrate to what degree the respect for human life has been eroded even after birth. In both cases, court decisions supported the parents' wishes see their disabled children die. In the case of Indiana, it resulted in death by starvation. In the New York case, the parents were only required to provide comfort while they waited for their child to die. In this case, however, the child survived. Both cases provide examples of how the abortion on-demand mentality has infected the...

When Nancy Cruzan's feeding tube was disconnected, distraught nurses said, "Do carrots cry? Nancy cries." The same horrific death awaits Terri Schiavo. Is there a Schiavo connection to Roe vs. Wade?

A top PA official has reiterated the end-goal of the creation of a Palestinian state alongside Israel: a Palestinian state instead of Israel. In a seeming re-affirmation of the PLO's 1974 "destroy Israel" program, commonly known as the Phased Plan, Fatah co-founder Farouk Kadumi termed the struggle for a two-state solution just a “stage” on the road to “only one [state].” Kadumi spoke on Nov. 29th with Iran’s Al-Aram television station. When the interviewer asked Kadumi, “What is the future of Palestine?” the PLO leader answered: “At this stage there will be two states. Many years from now there will...

Dear Sirs, Although agreeing a need for your type of services in order to balance general arguments, 'The Real Deal' is still being missed. Yes there are left's and rights,' along with misty grey areas running and in most cases controlling our world. The ultimate goal remains the same or total financial control of the few over the many. A huge agenda has been in place for generations to bring any world order to its knees. Yes call it a conspiracy if you like, but a time has arrived where whole truths and nothing but the truth is to be...

"Don't worry, the Geneva document does not cede the Arabs' 'right of return.'" This was the gist of an article written by Jamal Zakot, a high-ranking PA official who took part in the negotiations for the agreement. Zakot wrote this on Sunday in the PA daily Al Hayat al Jadida, Arutz-7's Haggai Huberman reports. "Those who state that the document cedes our right of return [for the Arab 'refugees' of 1948 and their descendants] do not base themselves on knowledge and precise reading of the text," Zakot wrote. "It could even be that they have fallen into the trap of...

Lesson of anti-Israel Euro-poll Posted: November 10, 2003 1:00 a.m. Eastern © 2003 WorldNetDaily.com What's the lesson of the European poll showing nearly 60 percent of those surveyed believe Israel is the greatest threat to peace in the world today? The lesson is that Israel's semi-suicidal quest for peace at any price is not respected by the world. In fact, it demonstrates Israel's concessions to Arab myth-making and the wholesale fabrication of reality has backfired. The world clearly believes the propaganda ploy by Yasser Arafat and the so-called Palestinian movement. Israel's gravest mistake was yielding to international pressure to compromise...

Mar. 31, 2003 Palestinian observer to UN Human Rights Commission calls for "elimination" of Israel By HERB KEINON The Simon Wiesenthal Center demanded Sunday the recall of the Palestinian observer to the UN Human Rights Commission for calling for the "elimination" of Israel. Shimon Samuels, the Wiesenthal Center's representative at the 59th Human Rights Commission session currently taking place in Geneva, wrote the UN Human Rights High Commissioner Sergio Vieira de Mello calling on him to "immediately condemn the Palestinian observer and take the necessary measures for his recall, due to his violation of the UN Charter in calling for...

Such is the richness of European culture, even its decadence is creative. Since 1945 it has produced the truly remarkable phenomenon of anti-Semitism without Jews. How does Europe do that? Now it offers Christian anti-Semitism without the Christianity. An example of this is the recent cartoon in La Stampa -- a liberal Italian newspaper -- depicting the infant Jesus in a manger, menaced by an Israeli tank and saying "Don't tell me they want to kill me again." This reprise of that hardy perennial, Jews as Christ-killers, clearly still strikes a chord in contemporary Italy, where the culture is as...

King: Saudi peace idea gives Israel chance to live with its neighbours PARIS (Agencies) — His Majesty King Abdullah reaffirmed his backing for a Saudi peace initiative for the Middle East, saying Israel will have security once it resolves its differences with its Arab neighbours, not just the Palestinians, in a newspaper interview published Saturday. “Beyond solving the conflict with the Palestinians,” King Abdullah told Le Figaro newspaper, that the Saudi initiative “offers Israelis the chance to integrate in the region” and to resolve “its differences with its direct neighbours the Palestinians, Syria and Lebanon.” In mid-February, Saudi Crown Prince...
