Thirteen years ago I knew very little about Israel-Palestine. Like most Americans, this seemed to be a distant, confusing conflict that had little to do with me. I was unaware –again, like most Americans – that American taxpayers give Israel over $8 million per day, more than we give to any other nation.

TEHRAN – Retired US Army Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, who once served as Secretary of State Colin Powell’s Chief of Staff, believes that the chemical weapons used in Syria may have been an Israeli “false flag” operation aimed at implicating Bashar Assad’s regime.

Time for my Sunday rant, and there are many things to talk about....First and foremost... We now see the sick and deadly game that the criminals in both the psychotic and terrorist state of Israel, as well as their puppets in the United States government, are playing when it comes to Syria... These sick bastards could not get their nice little war started by promoting the lie that Assad has used "chemical weapons" on his people, simply because that same false and tired claim was made to get the US war on Iraq off and running and people are no longer fooled...

The early Sunday am attack on Damascus was rejoiced by NATO's Islamist ArmySyria makes the very obvious and correct claim that this attack was done in coordination with NATO's Islamist ArmyIsraeli strikes on Syria 'co-ordinated with terrorists'

It’s clear that Israel’s strategy is to use the Syrian Civil War to deliberately provoke Hezbollah. The provocation is designed to goad Hezbollah into retaliation for over-flying Lebanon while on their way to apparently destroy weapons that the Israelis say are bound for Hezbollah.

Sunday at dawn, May 5 2013, Syrian sources reported that the Israeli Air Force bombarded a Syrian army center north of Damascus, causing extensive damage.

Today, I am really sickened to see that the long planned war on Syria by the criminals in the United States, Israel, and NATO may finally happen.... It does seem that according to this report from Reuters News Service at www.reuters.com, that the Israelis are carrying out bombing missions against targets in Damascus, Syria, causing explosions in the capital itself...And the Syrian government is correctly blaming the sick criminals in Israel for these horrendous unprovoked attacks....

For nearly a quarter century, Howard Kurtz has served as hall monitor for Washington’s conventional wisdom, handing out demerits to independent-minded journalists who don’t abide by the mainstream rules. So, there is some understandable pleasure seeing Kurtz face some accountability in his ouster as bureau chief for Newsweek and The Daily Beast.
