The Fox Guarding the Chicken Coop: Dennis Ross and Iran

01-03-2009 14:20 | Analysis | Anti-militarism | Terror War | World

Whatever the reason for the postponement of Ross’s appointment and change of title, one thing is clear: the sly fox is now guarding the chicken coop. As Mel Levine said about Ross: “He’d be great for Israel.”

With the help of Richard Holbrooke, Stuart Levey and all the other “president’s Middle East men,” Dennis Ross might be able to finish the unfinished business of the neoconservatives, the containment of Iraq and Iran.

27-02-2009 22:59 | Anti-militarism | Palestine | Social Struggles | World

22-02-2009 23:58 | Anti-militarism | World

In November 2008 a gathering of reflection and planning for a new anti-militarist movement took place in Edinburgh.

22-02-2009 21:15 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Palestine | World

"Black Americans, who have experienced apartheid at home and fought successfully against it in Africa," feel most intensely the need to register their opposition to Israel's version of apartheid.

As head of state, he promises to destroy Hamas. Whoever forms the government, Palestinians, Israelis, and most others will be losers.
