	<description>"...for the last forty years, our thought has been trapped in hollow structures of language, a stale, dead but immensely successful rhetoric. This has represented, in my view, a defeat of the intelligence and of the will." -- Harold Pinter</description>

		<title>Another Chorister for Israel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On February 29 last year the BBC&#8217;s website reported deputy defense minister Matan Vilnai threatening a &#8216;holocaust&#8217; on Gaza. Headlined &#8220;Israel warns of Gaza &#8216;holocaust&#8217;&#8221;, the story would undergo nine revisions in the next twelve hours. Before the day was over, the headline would read &#8220;Gaza militants &#8216;risking disaster&#8217;&#8220;. (The story has since been revised [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2456&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What Obama missed in the Middle East</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;Barack Obama&#8217;s visit to Israel and Palestine this week seemed designed to appease pro-Israel groups in the US&#8217;, writes Ali Abunimah.
When I and other Palestinian-Americans first knew Barack Obama in Chicago in the 1990s, he grasped the oppression faced by Palestinians under Israeli occupation. He understood that an honest broker cannot simultaneously be the main [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2203&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The secret of Hizbullah’s success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In Tariq Ali&#8217;s recent piece on Pakistan in the London Review of Books he quotes from a letter sent by the deposed Chief Justice to Nikolas Sarkozy pleading with him to use his influence with the Pakistani government. Behind the letter lies an assumption which accepts the West&#8217;s own conception of itself as a champion [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2193&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Nasrallah ‘most admired’ Arab leader</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Jerusalem Post, via Norman Finkelstein.
Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah is the most admired leader among the Arab   public, a survey released Wednesday showed.
Twenty-six percent of respondents in six countries selected Nasrallah as their   most admired leader, compared to 16% who chose Syrian President Bashar Assad   and 10% who picked [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2144&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Israeli PR on Kuntar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Western media, including the Guardian and the Independent have bought the story hook, line and sinker, yet there is nothing beyond the account of the Israeli military to corroborate it. The official story is all PR.
&#8216;PR campaign will make clear: Samir Kuntar is a murderer&#8217;, reports Ha&#8217;aretz.
Israel yesterday launched an international media campaign against Hezbollah. [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2116&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Lebanon Prisoner Exchange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
As with anything involving Hizbullah, Robert Fisk has a pretty pathetic article on the prisoner exchange. Besides finding the discomfort of those waiting for the arrival of the bodies &#8216;exquisite&#8217; he also repeats the claim put out by anti-Hizbullah elements that Dalal al-Mughrabi&#8217;s mother does not want her daughter&#8217;s body returned to Lebanon. She does, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2108&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Rory McCarthy Does Lebanon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The headlines in the media about the Hizbullah-Israeli prisoner exchange have been quite sensational. In the following letter Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada addresses some of the more outrageous language. (via Angry Arab)
Dear Mr. McCarthy,
On what basis do you write that:
&#8220;Five Lebanese prisoners, including the notorious murderer Samir Qantar, crossed free out of Israel [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2106&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>War in Lebanon, Two Years On</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Comment from Aussie3
David Chater calls that a news report? It might as well be an minute and a half advertisement pimping for the criminal Israeli regime. The focus is on HA’s enlarged arsenal, no mention of Israel’s belligerence and illegal fly-overs and cluster munitions and numerous flagrant violations of UN resolutions on the “point of [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&blog=336966&post=2096&subd=fanonite&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
