TEL AVIV – Former Pink Floyd frontman Roger Waters sang that Palestinians will “take back the land, from the Jordan river to the sea,” a battle cry routinely used by terrorists that ultimately calls for the elimination of Israel. Together with anti-Israel far-left British filmmaker Ken Loach, Waters appeared at the UK Palestine Solidarity Campaign’s (PSC) Nakba Day 2020 event, where he claimed that “the Israel lobby and the Israeli government and the Israeli special whatever they are called… [are] trying so hard to destroy the voices of support [for Palestinians],” the UK’s Jewish Chronicle reported. The Palestinian “Nakba” commemorates...

Time does not heal all wounds, and a pair of Vietnam veterans will demonstrate just that Wednesday evening outside the Open Space in Traverse City.

Sen. John McCain said he’s got a tough message for Russian delegates who are coming to Washington to pass along to President Vladimir Putin — and it’s not about Syria. Rather: Tell Mr. Putin to give back New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft’s Super Bowl ring, he said, CNN reported. “I was thinking this morning the worst thing you could do in the Old West was to steal another man’s horse. I would think in New England the worst thing you can do is steal another man’s Super Bowl ring,” he said on CNN’s “New Day” broadcast Tuesday.

Trannyweb member Bennie Lee Ferguson has recently announced her candidacy as an independent for the office of President of the United States. Bennie will also be challenging Republican incumbent Michael O'Neal for the Kansas House of Representatives seat in Kansas District 104.

Toby Keith and I stood at the bedside of Pfc. Todd Bolding of Central Texas. We were far from home, having just landed via Blackhawk battle copter on the tarmac of Bondsteel U.S. Military Hospital in Germany. Visiting with wounded heroes of the world's greatest warriors from the U.S. Army, Navy, Air Force, National Guard and Marine Corps, we were deeply humbled — not only by the courage of these amazing men and women, but also by their commitment to get their shattered bodies repaired as soon as possible to "grab my rifle and get back to the front lines...

Pro-war veterans group and anti-war adversaries warily promise peaceful event Police say World Can't Wait will have exclusive right to plaza Jordan Green News editor In late January, protesters swarmed onto the steps of the US Capitol and spray-painted antiwar slogans during a rally to pressure President Bush and the Democratic Congress to wind down the war in Iraq. That was the tipping point for Charles Gant, a disabled Vietnam combat veteran from Greensboro who volunteers his time with others who have served in the US armed services. "The silent majority is tired of the extreme left-wing viewpoint," Gant said...

What the War Supporters Threw Saturday, March 31, 2007 In his March 27 letter, Kristinn Taylor, spokesman for the Gathering of Eagles, asserted that there is no evidence that a counter-protester threw manure at antiwar protesters during the March 17 march on the Pentagon. I step forward to assure Mr. Taylor that it is true: I was hit by the pro-war manure. Thankfully, because of its high fiber content, it fell off and left no residue.

This is a one person's view of the Pro War Rally held in Washington DC on March 17, 2007 in response to the anti-war protest movement.

Al Qaeda wants to build a political operation in Iraq to broaden its campaign against the U.S.-backed government, a top U.S. general said on Wednesday. Citing intelligence mostly gathered since the death of al Qaeda's former leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in June, Major General William Caldwell said the militant group appeared to be refining its approach beyond bombings and beheadings. "Al Qaeda in Iraq wants to present itself as a legitimate organization and is striving to increase its operational power by building a political base with a military wing," Caldwell told a news briefing. He did not give specific examples....

George Bush and Tony Blair will whoop for joy. A strongly pro-war film has been premiered at the Cannes film festival - and it comes from Iraq. The main part of Hiner Saleem's Kilomètre Zéro, premiered in competition for the Palme D'Or, is set in 1988 against the backdrop of the deaths of thousands of Iraqi Kurds at the hands of Saddam's cousin, "Chemical" Ali Hassan al-Majid. It is framed by scenes of the main characters, now exiled in France, rejoicing at the fall of Baghdad in 2003. "I am against war of any kind," Saleem said. "But we didn't...

SCHOOL'S STAGE WAS SET FOR A STARK LESSON Three invited pro-military speakers were shocked last Friday when they arrived for a West Seattle High student assembly to confront a theater stage strewn with figures costumed as Iraqi men, women and children splashed with blood. It was a warm-up for the "Iraq Awareness Assembly" so no students except the actual actors saw the skit before the military guests complained to principal Susan Derse and she put a stop to it. And here comes the crucial part: no teachers or advisers were on hand or evidently even aware of the content although...

The Old Media does not understand why it cannot reach it's "audience" - they are continuously amazed at their falling numbers, and they do not understand why they are losing credibility and followers at an alarming rate. But in the story of Kevin Sites, the reporter who filmed - and condemned - a Marine shooting an insurgent in a Mosque, we find the answers illustrated vividly. It is a cautionary tale of writers and reporters whose only "audience" is themselves... In Kevin Sites' Blog, we find accounts of war, stories of Marines at rest, and the subtle undercurrent of identification...

Brian Williams of NBC and CNBC found that morale is not lagging amongst those who have suffered the most devastating wounds in Iraq in which they have lost limbs. After a Friday night, October 31 piece he narrated about soldiers in the amputee ward at the Army’s Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, DC, Williams used nearly identical language on CNBC’s The News with Brian Williams and the NBC Nightly News to assert that “you won’t find” any anti-war sentiments among the wounded as he conveyed what he learned about their attitude. The CNBC version caught by the MRC’s Brad...

NewsMax.com's religion editor Fr. Michael Reilly says that Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry's decision to court the antiwar vote may turn out to be smart politics. Campaigning in Iowa, Sen. John Kerry is accusing the Bush administration of jumping the gun in Iraq and missing an opportunity to resolve the nuclear standoff in North Korea. "Had they really been interested in doing this differently, they could have not ratcheted up the troops to the level that they did as early as they did," the Massachusetts Democrat insists, according to the Boston Herald. "They could have allowed France and others to...

Radio station makes pre-emptive strike against peace rallies By Eric Sorensen Seattle Times staff reporter DUVALL — Listeners of conservative radio station KVI-AM (570) are going pre-emptive against the peace movement, crashing rallies and overwhelming them with their numbers to where peace demonstrators complain that the informal rules of engagement have been violated. "It seems a little bit like a cheap shot, when they target your time and place," said Dave Meeds, 62, of Monroe, who held a "Power Corrupts" sign this week several hundred yards south of the intersection of the Woodinville-Duvall Road and Highway 203. If nothing else,...
