zionism

Zionism might not be the first thing that comes to mind when considering Malcolm X.  And yet in the last chapters of his life, he was intensively vocal about it.  This is what he had to say about the subject writing for the Egyptian Gazette in an article dated September 17th 1964, just six months prior to his assassination.

What began six months ago as a brazen attempt to counter a perceived anti-Israel slant in the Dutch media, has evolved into a network monitoring the media in eight countries across the world. The idea is simple: Beat press bias at its own game by advertising only bad news about one place.

Over the past months, seven activists from Israel and elsewhere have been exposing online readers to scandalous yet accurate reports from media in Britain (violent drunk teens), France (high homeless mortality), Norway (serial child molesters), Finland (sexual harassment in parliament), Sweden (soaring suicide rates), The Netherlands (menacing Muslim unrest), Mexico (rampaging flood victims) and Los Angeles (drive-by killings).

from INDYMEDIA:-
A humanitarian crisis is underway as the Gaza Strip's only power plant began to shut down on Sunday, and the tiny coastal territory entered its third full day without shipments of vital food and fuel supplies due to Israel's punitive sanctions.

When Iranian President Ahmadinejad recently went on record as proclaiming the Israeli State to be the 'flag of Satan', many dismissed his comments as mere theatrical bullfighting reminiscent of similar prose made by Venezuala's Hugo Chavez (on describing Bush as the Devil).

Perhaps the truth is a little more literal.
