NOVANEWS “Is Iran Really the Threat to the Region and the World it is Alleged to be by Israeli and Arab Leaders?” Alan Hart Some commentators, bloggers and other writers, were quick to jump to the conclusion that the avalanche of documents being released by WikiLeaks is part and parcel of an Israeli/Mossad deception strategy. One implication being that WikiLeaks’ founder, Julian Assange is, knowingly or not, manipulated by Zionism.   On the basis of the first two or three days of the Wikileaked revelations as reported by the mainstream media, in America especially, there most definitely was a case for saying that the agenda best served by the leaked diplomatic cables was that of the Zionist state of Israel, its lobby in America and its many stooges in Congress. The essence of the case was...

NOVANEWS Lebanon defense chief worked with U.S. against Hezbollah, leaked cable says Defense Minister Elias Murr is described giving U.S. diplomats advice to pass on to Israel for any Israeli attack on Hezbollah. Another cable refers to hitherto-secret U.S. spy flights over Lebanon. December 03, 2010|By Borzou Daragahi and Meris Lutz, Los Angeles Times U.S. diplomats complained in the cables that Britain wouldn't allow Americans to stage the flights from an airbase it controls in Cyprus. Britain, U.S. diplomatic officials bristled, wanted assurances that the entire Lebanese Cabinet, which included Hezbollah, and not just Murr had signed off on the missions and that captured Hezbollah members would not be tortured. They also worried that Cypriots would be outraged to learn of the missions...

NOVANEWS December 4, 2010 by Franklin Lamb     Indict, Quit and Blame the System! Franklin Lamb’s Saturday Mideast Report –- Al Manar   Daniel Bellemares' dilemma   It’s unlikely, but not impossible, that Special Tribunal for Lebanon  Prosecutor, Daniel Bellemare ever met,  U.S. Senator Wayne Lyman Morse (Dem. Oregon), one of three Senator’s to vote against Lyndon Johnson’s fake Gulf of Tonkin resolution that authorized the US military to bomb North Vietnam a generation ago and a  leading American legal scholar.  One can’t help thinking that Bellemare could use Morse’s  counsel on the subject of what some are calling  the Rafiq Hariri murder,  “ a Trial of the Century” while some international lawyers fear it could be a “Trial for a Century.”  Hezbollah Deputy Secretary General Sheikh N...

NOVANEWS December 4, 2010 by Dr. Ashraf Ezzat   The war may be over for the Americans but it is far from over for some who lost their faith in a just and fair world                                        … The war may be over but the grudge ain`t. By Dr. Ashraf Ezzat / Staff Writer  What you see is not always what you get… Capture of Saddam making the news As the American troops are gradually pulling out of Iraq, the Americans find relief in the news that the war in Iraq has ended and the boys are finally coming home to America. But is it all that simple? Has the almost seven years of fighting in Iraq -against I don’t exactly know whom- come to an end? Has the heavy artillery firing and bombardment with even heavier brutality stopped? Has the destabilizing of Iraq, the sabotage that enc...

NOVANEWSW By CHAS FREEMAN Published: December 4, 2010   THE editor of WikiLeaks, Julian Assange, has much in common with the anarchists of the early 20th century: he aims to disrupt the established order by impairing its alliances and violating its proprieties. With the release of a quarter-million documents written by American diplomats at home and abroad, many of them shockingly candid, he has gone some distance toward accomplishing this. Take the Middle East, for example. Most striking were the leaks regarding Arab concerns about Iran’s aspirations for regional hegemony and its nuclear programs. According to the documents, King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia exhorted the United States to cripple Iran’s nuclear programs with air strikes, urging us to “cut off the head of the snake.“ While s...

NOVANEWS Carmel wildfire punishment from God?   Shas spiritual racist rabbi implies fire raging in northern Israel result of ‘desecration of Shabbat’. Haredi newspapers say disaster ‘a warning sign’, call for personal and public self-scrutiny Shas’ spiritual leader Rabbi Ovadia Yosef implied on Saturday night that the fire raging on Mount Carmel in northern Israel was a punishment from God for religious offenses committed by the area’s residents. During his weekly sermon, the rabbi read a section from the Babylonian Talmud, which states that “the fire only exists in a place where Shabbat is desecrated.” Joint police, fire service investigation team’s preliminary probe suggests initial blaze caused by bonfire lit by residents near Usfiya; two brothers arrested. Team suspects fires in other...

NOVANEWS 28. JUN, 2010   Part One: The Moral Law Bishop Donald R. Corder -  Intifada Palestine In the wake of the Gaza Holocaust, high seas murder of Turkish citizens during the Israeli flotilla raid and echoes of the UN’s Goldstone Report enunciating crimes against the humanity of a virtually defenseless Palestinian people. All these simmer in our outrage even in the midst of an American media blitz waged against Iran, while simultaneously Zionist threats of bombing scenarios are in the air along with their having recently launched spy satellite over Iran. Deemed guilty is the vocal leadership of the Iranian peoples who can be construed as implicitly asserting their right to govern and defend themselves, and who incidentally, are also guilty of raising scholarly questions as touching wh...

NOVANEWS  3 December 2010 Lebanon - the UN Inquiry into Hariri's Assassination has One Purpose - to Serve US Imperial Interests   In 2005, the Lebanese Prime Minister Rafiq Hariri was assassinated. Suspicion fell, rightly or wrongly, on the Syrian state forces in Lebanon. The same forces that both Israel and the US gave a green light to when they entered Lebanon in May 1976 on the side of the Christian President Franjiyeh and the Lebanese Front, led by the right-wing and semi-fascist Phalange against the forces of the secularist Lebanese National Movement led by Kamal Jumblatt of the Druze, the Palestinians and Shi’ites. The consequence of Hariri’s assassination was that the Syrian state was forced to remove its troops from Lebanon. The next part of the plot however didn’t go to plan....
