Dear Sir,

 

I found out on several occasions that some of the articles on Al-Jazeerah can

not be downloaded. This is true e.g. for your recent article on the withdrawal

of US-basis from Saudi Arabia. Is there a special trick to do it or do these

articles just not really exist?

sincerely yours A.Wosni

 

Editor: No tricks. You may want to copy the article into another page in your computer then print it.

 

 


 

Your headlines/stories seem a bit more fair and balanced these days.

Congratulations.

Jason McCrea

 

 


 

Dear Mr. El-Najjar,

Thank you for your reply. Perhaps I might take up a few moments of your time to explain what was happening for me, here, whilst you battled to stay on-line in April 2003. In principle I have been opposed to Australia invading and occupying Iraq - why are we there? Secondly, after having listened to the utterly unconvincing rhetoric of Prime Minister: Howard, about the reasons for our involvement, I wrote to him and protested and marched too. It was, then, for me a matter of searching the net for any news from a different perspective. I found Al-Jazeerah. Your coverage is, and remains, of great interest to me.

I want now, to register my genuine sadness for, disgust with, and dismay about, the deaths of all the journalists, including your own. What a significant loss for their families, for you and for us - your readers. I don't know how else to say this to you. I want you to prevail over those who are trying to stop you reporting events in your part of the world from your viewpoint. My family and friends have been inundated with my anti-war emails, often featuring reports from Al-Jazeerah. You are not alone. Best wishes.

David Hirt.

Fury as Dalyell attacks Blair's 'Jewish cabal'
By Colin Brown and Chris Hastings
(Filed: 04/05/2003)


Tam Dalyell, the Father of the House, sparked outrage last night by accusing
the Prime Minister of "being unduly influenced by a cabal of Jewish
advisers".

In an interview with Vanity Fair, the Left-wing Labour MP named Lord Levy,
Tony Blair's personal envoy on the Middle East, Peter Mandelson, whose
father was Jewish, and Jack Straw, the Foreign Secretary, who has Jewish
ancestry, as three of the leading figures who had influenced Mr Blair's
policies on the Middle East.


      Tam Dalyell
Yesterday Mr Dalyell, the MP for Linlithgow, told The Telegraph: "I am fully
aware that one is treading on cut glass on this issue and no one wants to be
accused of anti-Semitism but, if it is a question of launching an assault on
Syria or Iran . . . then one has to be candid."

He added: "I am not going to be labelled anti-Semitic. My children worked on
a kibbutz. But the time has come for candour." The Prime Minister, Mr
Dalyell claimed, was also indirectly influenced by Jewish people in the Bush
administration, including Richard Perle, a Pentagon adviser, Paul Wolfowitz,
the deputy defence secretary, and Ari Fleischer, the President's press
secretary.

"They very much have captured the ear of the President of the United States.
I said [to Vanity Fair] I thought that Blair was very sympathetic to them. I
cannot understand why," Mr Dalyell said.

Mr Dalyell's claim caused fury last night. Mr Mandelson said: "Apart from
the fact that I am not actually Jewish, I wear my father's parentage with
pride. As for Tam, he is as incorrigible as ever."

Lord Janner, a Labour peer and the chairman of the Holocaust Education
Trust, said: "I think these comments are sad and unfounded. Tony Blair is
his own man. He will follow advice if he considers it correct and not
otherwise. He has been a good friend of the Jewish people and the Jewish
state."

Rabbi Dr Jonathan Romain of Maidenhead Synagogue and a spokesman for
Britain's Reform Synagogues, said: "Tam Dalyell is not being candid but
misguided. Concerning Iraq it was crystal clear that Tony Blair was not
swayed by popularity or anyone else but by his own deep convictions. It is
also obvious that the majority of President Bush's circle are Christian
Evangelicals rather than Jews."

Ned Temko, the American-born editor of the Jewish Chronicle, said: "I just
think these sort of comments are offensive and are a profound
misunderstanding of the way foreign policy is made in the United States or
here."

A spokesman for Lord Levy said he was not available for comment. A spokesman
for the Foreign Secretary said: "If these reports are accurate, these
remarks are too unworthy to be worth a comment."

Zionist Terrorism Awareness Weeks

Mark Franklin

 

I do hereby declare the first two full weeks of May, beginning with this May

4, as Zionist Terrorism Awareness Weeks. These two weeks will pay respect to

the hundreds of million innocent non-Jews who have been terrorized or

murdered by vicious hatemongering Jewish terrorists for the benefit of

Zionism or any of their other polluted ideologies with which they have cursed

mankind. Let us have a moment of silence to reflect on the innocent victims

of Jewish terrorists no matter where they live: the millions of innocent

Palestinians who were murdered, beaten, or chased from their homes under the

Zionist ideology; the hundreds of millions of Russians who were murdered,

beaten, or starved to death under the heels of Jewish Bolshevism; and the

countless other millions who have suffered under Jewish-inspired wars for the

benefit of Zion and no other. Let us pay our respects to those brave

individuals who have stood up to the wicked mentality embraced by the Jewish

supremacists--only to have these Jewish supremacists torture them in thought,

word, and deed. To all brave non-Jews who have valiantly stood up to the

Jewish supremacists and their propaganda-machine that works to distort world

events, you are saluted. While the Jewish supremacists' non-Jewish victims'

bones may be driven in the ground and burned--as were the Czar's and his

innocent family by these Jewish hatemongers--our thoughts will be with them

forever.

 

 


 

WHO'S AFRAID of HIZBALLAH?

By Art Bishop

http://pulpnonfiction.blogspot.com/

One day in 1967 the southern lebanese who lived on the

border with north Israel woke up to find themselves on

the other side of the border inside Israel.From that

day on to this very minute,thousands of Lebanese human

beings who have lived in southern Lebanon on record

for six thousand years before Christ before

Mohammad,became the property of Israel.

 

If you really want to know what is going on in South

Lebanon and who the hell Hizballah really are, read

on.If you are not interested or think you know or

think our secretary of state knows by asking Syria to

shut down the "terrorists" offices in Damascus,you

dont know jack.While we may have the distorted picture

that Hizballah are terrorists and the Sharon is a man

of peace,the Syrians the Arabs and the Iranians KNOW

without a reasonable doubt that the Hizballah are

freedomfighters not terrorists and Sharon is a war

criminal not a man of peace.Syria and Lebanon are not

sponsoring "terrorists" they are sponsoring

freedomfighters

 

Not to mention Hamas Jihad Islami Al Aksa Brigades and

all the other big bad moslem"terrorist" organizations

that are the top "terrorists" to Israel.The suicide

bombing will cease the instant there is an end to the

occupation and when the Palestinians in particular and

the Arabs in general feel truly that America is being

fair in trying to solve the problem.Our problem in

America is that we are being ruled by an unholy

coalition of Christian and Jewish Zionists that

believe in the "Israel Right or Wrong" policies and

these gentlemen and not a few ladies dancing in the

corridors of power,are dragging us deeper and deeper

into the abyss.

 

Let us rewind a few years in this 100 year old problem

between the Arabs and the Jews.Lets call it

Hizballah/Hamas 101.

 

Before Zionism B.Z, the Arabs and the Jews were the

best of friends, fighting for their lives for

centuries during the dreaded Catholic inquisition

era.The Arabs and Jews had no problem whatsoever

coexisting in peace and harmony,in fact they sought

refuge from one another from the wrath of the Holy

Catholic Church,till Zion came along and said lets

stick it to these dumb Palestinian shepherds and

farmers and create our own state.Lets ethnic cleanse

this land in the name of a Zionist Homeland.No one

will notice least of all care.No one did.Now we are

sitting up and taking notice but the picture has been

distorted over the years.The ethnic cleansers went on

to become Prime Ministers and Men of Peace and the

true victims in this tragedy became the big bad

terrorists.

 

In 1967,during the six day war, a small portion of

Lebanese land known as Shebaa Farms,which are rich in

water wells, was "conquered" by the Israeli Defense

Forces.The occupation of this portion of south Lebanon

and the subjugation of the southern lebanese farmer(

who had nothing to do with the 6 day war) to Israeli

terror has been going on exactly for thirty six years

now.

 

While Israel pulled out of the occupation of Sharons

"Bluffer Zone" in 2000 in a humiliating defeat and in

a major victory for the Hizballah, they did not pull

out completely.They stayed in Shebaa Farms which as we

mentioned before is RICH in water.It is interesting to

note that Palestine/Israel which is known as the Land

of milk and honey hath no water and Israel has been

illiegaly siphoning the water from the southern

Lebaneses' land since 1967.

 

The Southern Lebanese Hizballah (Hizb = Party Allah =

God) the Party of God have been fighting for their

lives and land back since 1967 and the minute the

Israelis leave their land the struggle will be

over.Its as simple as that.Israel is the occupier in

this case and it is clear that when our

"honest"secretary of state Colin Powell says that

Syria and Lebanon must "reign in" and stop Hizballah

from its armed struggle, eithger he has no idea who

the Hizballah are or he is speaking for Israel and not

the USA.This is the same Colin Powell who went to

Israel last year in the midst of the Jennin Massacres

and saw no massacre.

 

Hizballah has never been and is not a threat to the

USA today.The Hizballah is sarcasticly branded the "A

Team" of Terrorists by Israel and its A Team of

Zionists like Liebermann Waxmann Wolfowitz Perle

Fleisher Greenspan Myers White Feith in Washington who

respectively control what comes out of the Senate

Congress the Defense department the State Department

the White House the Federal Reserve the Army AND the

Navy and the FBI.

 

It is the Zionists and Zionism that is a threat not

Hizballah. Are we defending Hizballah? You bet we

are.Its high time we called a spade a spade and

realize who it really was who cast the first stone in

this case.If you dont believe us then ask an impartial

observer.Ask Nelson Mandella.Ask Dr. Mahatir .Ask the

Christian President of Lebanon.He will tell you that

no matter how radical Hizballah might seem to the rest

of the world their cause is legitimate.

 

The minute Israel leaves Shebaa Farms and gives back

South Lebanon to this "A Team of Terrorists", the war

would be declared over and these "A Team of

Terrorists" will put down their arms and go back home

and reclaim the land and the lives they had lost since

1967.The Hizballah are human beings just like us and

they are longing to be freed from something called an

illiegal israeli occupation that we have unwittingly

supported as far back as we can remember.The Hizballah

are people like us all and have children that want to

lead normal lives and play and go to school and live

like all our children.

 

The minute Israel gets out of Lebanon and ends the 30+

years of occupation the Hizballa armed resistance

would cease to exist.Israel would have CRUSHED the

Hizballah without firing a single shot and without the

life of one innocent Lebanese or Israeli lost in

vain.End the occupation today and the war will be

won!Give the Arabs their "Land for Peace" plan.What

could be simpler?If only Israel knew how to

give.Israel only knows the expansionist isolationist

zionist way and that is not the way to peace.A major

paradigm shift is needed in Israel and it will be

based only on sharing and living together with her

brothers equally as one.

 

The Hizb Allah are terrorists only because Israel says

so.They are no more terrorists than Nelson Mandella

was in South Africa or Benjamin Martin was in the

Patriot or William Wallace Was in Brave Heart. Its

high time we had an attitude adjustment as to who are

the real terrorists here and who exactly has been

terrorizionizing whom.

The answer to the Middle East problem is in our hands

and we insist on siding with the bad guys and beating

up on the good guys.

 

Not only are the Hizb Allah not terrorists they are

heros of a brutal occupation.Not only is Syria not a

rogue state harboring terrorists, Syria under Hafez

Assad,the wisest moderate ruler the Arab world has

ever known,a leader of principle who under the most

enormous of pressure and provocation,kept the peace in

the region all the while,against all odds,supported

the Hizballah and Hamas freedomfighters who were

fighting for their freedom from an illegal and unjust

and brutal occupation from Israel.

Syria and Lebanon were on the side of what was right

and everyone in the region knew Hizballah had every

right.

There is an old saying in Lebanon that dates back a

few thousand years,and it depicts exactly what Israel

has done and what Israel is doing.

Roughly translated and any Arab Scholars if you have

heard this one please feel free to translate correctly

this gem that says:

"Darabne Wa Baka Sabakne Wa Ishtaka."

"He hit me and cried,rushed past me,and reported my

crime."

 


 

Hello,
I would like to invite you to visit my massive photo gallery of the Zionists Crimes in Palestine, hoping you will add my link to your respected page since they both talk about the same subject.
 
Thank you for spreading the truth, and may God bless you.
