NOVANEWS Rupert the sage speaks about that bastion of quality journalism, Fox Rupert Murdoch: Fox News has heaps of “conservative commentary, but there’s not a conservative angling of the news”. See: www.antonyloewenstein.com

NOVANEWS  A love letter to an anti-Zionist I regularly receive charming emails from individuals who like to explain how much I hate myself, Jews, Israel and the civilised world. Here’s the latest: Hi Antony! Keep up the great work demonizing Israel and promoting as much hate towards Israel as possible on a regular basis, and sticking up for people who want to destroy Israel! You’re doing a great job serving the wishes of the islamic fundamentalists, neo-nazis and the other crazed Jew-hating and Israel-hating loons out there. Congrats! Jeff See: www.antonyloewenstein.com

NOVANEWS Britain welcomes war criminals with open arms Back in February I wrote about the long list of war criminals who have found a home in Australia. Shamefully, it’s little different in Britain: Record numbers of alleged mass murderers and torturers have found safe haven in the UK, making this country one of the war criminal capitals of the world, it is claimed today. Among the war crimes suspects living in Britain are senior officials from the regime of Saddam Hussein, a member of the Criminal Investigations Department in Zimbabwe under Robert Mugabe, and a Congolese police chief who confessed to a crime during a media interview. But although the Home Office has handed the names of 51 suspects to the Metropolitan Police, not a single case has been prosecuted in the UK courts. A furth...

NOVANEWS AIPAC- We’ll take over the UC Berkeley student government Why both with moral persuasion when you can just threaten to take over government… everywhere? On March 18, UC Berkeley’s student senate voted 16 to 4 in favor of divesting from companies that profit from the Zio=Nazi occupation. A week later, in a move oddly predicted by AIPAC’s Zionist Jonathan Kessler at AIPAC’s policy conference, the vote was vetoed by the student senate president. (Students hope the senate will overturn the veto next Wednesday.) When asked about fighting the Berkeley pro-divest initiative, Zionist Kessler said, “we’re going to make sure that pro-Zio=Nazi students take over the student government and reverse the vote…This is how AIPAC operates in our nation’s capital. This is how AIPAC must operate on o...

NOVANEWS By Khalil Nouri, STAFF WRITER Last week, president Karzai met with tribal leaders hoping for their support in his rift with Washington. Instead, his meetings were a total disaster with tribal leaders demonstrating a clear lack of confidence in, not only his policies but his personal leadership as well.   With accusations of personal failings, from a possible drug habit, to rigged elections and close relations with narcotics operations, followed by erratic behavior culminating in threats to “join the Taliban,” President Karzai couldn’t be facing worse challenges. However, the story of the Karzai disaster starts long before his current problems. From Left to Right: Muslimyar, Hamid Karzai & Gul Agha Sherzai Over history since the 4th century BC, my ancestral city of Kandahar ...

NOVANEWS Dear, Remember me? We've been working on nuclear disarmament for decades. Tell some friends about our latest opportunity before it's too late. Like a lot of you, I've been working to reduce our dangerous and expensive nuclear weapons stockpile for a lot of years. Remember when Jerry and I first came out with the Peace Pop, back in 1988, to call attention to the need to change our priorities? And those of you who have been reading these emails for a while know that when I started TrueMajority we always had nuclear disarmament as a top priority. Hard to improve the world for our kids if we blow it up first! Well, unfortunately we haven't been making much progress for a while. In fact, the country's stack of strategic nuclear warheads has stayed at the same crazy...

NOVANEWS Washington DC - A Saudi writer is facing charges of apostasy and a death sentence after he characterized an alleged hadith of the Prophet Mohamed as barbaric. Writer and columnist Yahia AlAmeer has been asked to report to the Jeddah court in June 7th to face the charge of apostasy by insulting the Prophet Mohamed, a charge that traditionally carries the death penalty. The charges stems from an interview AlAmeer had with American television station AlHurra five years ago in which he called a purported hadith of the Prophet Mohamed characterizing women as a source of harm to men, barbaric. The Hadith stated “After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women," is reported in the two leading sources of hadith in Sunni Islam Bokhari and Muslim and are considered un...

NOVANEWS Palestinians headed to plant trees last month in the West Bank, part of a new, nonviolent approach to assert their land claims. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/07/world/middleeast/07westbank.html?emc=eta1 Rina Castelnuovo for The New York Times The Palestinian prime minister, Salam Fayyad, said he planted trees in the West Bank last month “to establish our presence on our land and keep our people on it.” Something is stirring in the West Bank. With both diplomacy and armed struggle out of favor for having failed to end the Israeli occupation, the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority, joined by the business community, is trying to forge a third way: to rouse popular passions while avoiding violence. The idea, as Fatah struggles to revitalize its leadership, is to build a virtual st...
