When killing Iranians is your primary Jewish goal

The answer to this question is the same as it has…
Who will stop these Lockerbie lies?
William Blum, author of Killing Hope, on just the latest “outrage” about terrorism: If there’s anyone out there who is not already thoroughly cynical about those on the board of directors of the planet, the latest chapter in the saga of the bombing of PanAm 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland might just be enough to push…
Imagining a Middle East that doesn’t exist
