"We're Dealing with a Christian Taliban"

"We're Dealing with a Christian Taliban": "Last month, the Pentagon pulled the plug on a plan to dispatch so-called 'freedom packages' to U.S. troops in Iraq that included Bibles, proselytising materials in English and Arabic, and an apocalyptic computer game in which 'soldiers for Christ' battle satanic 'Global Community Peacekeepers'.

The plan called for a "just settlement" to the Palestinian refugee issue. This, in practical terms, meant renunciation of the right to return, despite this being an individual right under international law of which no state or authority can forfeit on behalf of the refugees. The Arab Peace Initiative was based on what fallaciously became known as the "international consensus" for the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, that of "two states, for two peoples," championed by the Zionist left as well as Israel's patrons in the West. The plan represented a rare united front a...
