Other
facts about Israel suppressed by the media
After the recent walkout by the Israeli and American
representative from the UN organized International Conference on Racism, (Sept
2001) it opportune to discuss how a country can impose control on
countries like America and Britain. The fact that an apparently influential
black man like Collin Powell could be prevented to attend this momentous
conference in South Africa is an obscene insult to all the black, brown and
white folks who sacrificed so much for racial equality. He brought disappointment
to
all the man, women and children in America and world-wide, who have been
wronged by slavery and racism. But he if he is ashamed to be thought of as a
black man or he is more worried about his career within Washington's elitist
congress and lobby society (dominated by the media, business supporter of
Israel), than he is a great disappointment to his people and his African past.

will dare damn Israel?

The Observer
The mountain of words and pictures last week mirrored the piles
of rubble in New York. Like the rescue workers there, one waded in trying to
find something that was alive, that would illuminate and explain what had
happened.
Noticeable
was the reluctance throughout the media to contemplate the Israeli factor - the
undeniable and central fact behind the disaster that Israel is now and has been
for some time an American colony, sustained by billions of American dollars and
armed with American missiles, helicopters and tanks.
Such
has been the pressure from the Israeli lobby in this country that many, even
normally outspoken journalists, are reluctant even to refer to such matters. Nor
would you find anywhere in last week's coverage, any reference whatever to
things I have mentioned here in recent issues of The Observer: the fact, for
example, that Mr Blair's adviser on the Middle East is an unelected, unknown
Jewish businessman, Lord Levy, now installed in the Foreign Office; the fact
that this same Lord Levy is the chief fundraiser for the Labour Party;
unmentioned also would be the close business links with Israel of two of our
most powerful press magnates, Rupert Murdoch and the newly ennobled owner of the
Telegraph newspapers, Lord Conrad Black.
When
Mr Blair, supported by these gentlemen's papers, pledges his support for Mr Bush
as he prepares for war with an as yet unidentified enemy, we ought to be
prepared at least to incur the charge of anti-Semitism by giving these matters
an airing before the balloon goes up.
