NOVANEWS A Personal Message from Father Elias Zahlawi, a Syrian Catholic priest to Pastor Terry Jones By crescentandcross Respected Pastor Terry Jones, I have read your worldwide call for the burning of the Quran on this coming 11th of September. Your message stated that you are a pastor of one of the churches in Florida in the United States of America. As an Arab Catholic priest from Damascus (Syria), I wondered what would be your objective, as an American pastor, for such a call? I wondered, and I ask you: What are your responsibilities as a pastor? Are you really a Christian pastor serving God in a church in America? Or are you merely a layperson from America who is pretending to be in the service of Christ? Did you give in to your nationalism (Americanism) rather than giving in to your...

NOVANEWS Over two years ago, I wrote a message (reproduced below) explaining why I decided to leave the comfortable life in the US to Palestine. Accomplishments were made(http://www.qumsiyeh.org/accomplishments20082010/) But I did want to share with you some personal lessons learned in the process (and such personal lessons are more important than accomplishments): Appearances may be deceiving: When I lived in the US and came here only in short visits of 2-4 weeks, I was able to discern certain behaviors and individual characteristics. But perceptions after long term interactions on the ground can reveal much more. I have stopped admiring some individuals I used to admire (although still respect them) and developed a much better appreciation of many others whom casual interactions do not d...

NOVANEWS September 6, 2010 by Gordon Duff   IS AMERICA’S RACKETEERING “ELITE” A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION? By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor There is a group of Americans, a combination of coward, gangster, politician, buffoonish soldier, con man and Israel obsessed bully.  These are the “users” and “takers” who live their lives, some invisible, some media darlings, some famous heroes as portrayed by their friends in the media, their fellow thugs.  This is the world’s greatest terrorist organization, the threat to, not only world security but the lives and freedom of the people of the world.  These are the people who bleed America dry and have for generations, the people who have turned America into what the world clearly sees it as now, a weapon to be wielded against the common a...

NOVANEWS By Bill Hare 09/06/2010 The stalwarts on the political right for years have been the ones to wave the U.S. Constitution in the faces of progressives, claiming that they have ventured beyond it and threaten its very existence. Such assaults earnestly commenced during the era of Franklin Delano Roosevelt as he sought to implement New Deal programs.  The American Liberty League, consisting of the most conservative elements of the corporate community, railed against programs such as Social Security as socialistic and unconstitutional. Presidential candidate Senator John F. Kennedy recognized that he was facing the same forces that had vigorously opposed Roosevelt on Social Security as he advocated Medicare during his successful 1960 presidential campaign.  Kennedy repeatedly noted tha...

AP Photo/Manuel Balce Ceneta If the United States had a functioning criminal justice system for the powerful – not just for run-of-the-mill offenders – former Vice President Dick Cheney would have convicted himself and some of his Bush administration colleagues with his comments on ABC’s “This Week.” By Robert Perry~Consortium News On Sunday, Cheney pronounced himself “a big supporter of waterboarding,” a near-drowning technique that has been regarded as torture back to the Spanish Inquisition and that has long been...

NOVANEWS U.S. Marine Veteran Returns to America as a “Terrorist,” Says Israel September 5, 2010  by Ken O'Keefe   Ken O'Keefe - Whose side are we on? - By Ken O’Keefe I will be returning to America in the next 36 hours as a publicly accused “terrorist operative”, according to the Israeli military that is.  It will be interesting to see how my birth nation will handle me.  Especially because I headed to Gaza aboard the Freedom Flotilla in order to “train a commando unit for Hamas” (according to Israel).  But even before I was venturing to train commando units I was already on the US “terror watch list”, so it is with much excitement I prepare for departure. To be honest, having the two greatest purveyors of terrorism and propaganda accuse me of “terrorism” is a massive compliment.  Living...

NOVANEWS Bibi Back at the White House — The Consistency of Israeli Duplicity Comes Ever More Clearly into Focus July 5, 2010 by Jeff Gates   President Obama and Netanyahu With Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visiting the White House July 6th, it’s time to recall how Tel Aviv deceived Washington throughout the entirety of the U.S.-Israeli relationship. U.S. military leaders will be watching this meeting very closely, as will the veterans community. For me, confirmation of Israel’s strategic duplicity came in a meeting with Harry McPherson who served as counsel and speechwriter for Lyndon B. Johnson. LBJ entered the Senate in 1948 with Louisiana Senator Russell Long for whom I served as counsel and speechwriter. At his law offices in Washington, Harry described his arrival in Tel Aviv th...

NOVANEWS   Sep, 05 2010 I will be returning to America in the next 36 hours as a publically accused “terrorist operative”, according to the Israeli military that is.  It will be interesting to see how my birth nation will handle me.  Especially because I headed to Gaza aboard the Freedom Flotilla in order to “train a commando unit for Hamas” (according to Israel).  But before I was venturing to train commando units I was already on the US “terror watch list”. To be honest, having the two greatest purveyors of terrorism and propaganda accuse me of “terrorism” is a massive compliment.  Living as we do in George Orwell’s 1984, where black is white and white is black and the truth is nothing but a word, being a “terrorist” is a great thing.  You see in this New World Order kind of world th...

NOVANEWS September 4, 2010 by Michael Leon  Obama Netanyahu Abbas  - Obama commits U.S. to terror state with seven words” “Ultimately the U.S. cannot impose a solution.” - By Alan Hart at MyCatBirdseat He was speaking at the White House the day before the start of the new round of direct talks between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas, after he had met with them and Egypt’s President Hosni Mubarak and Jordan’s King Abdullah II. (In my last post I anticipated Obama saying at the point of his complete surrender that “America can’t want peace more than the parties.” He also said that – ahead of schedule!) Today there is a growing number of seriously well informed people of all faiths and none (including me) who believe there will only be peace i...
