A band of neoconservative pundits with close ties to Israel have mounted a campaign against American scholars who study the Middle East.

Jews know the danger of appeasing evil by Barbara Kay

ENEMY WATCH: If there are an unusual number of Jewish intellectuals promoting an ideology that has become associated with the current American action plan in foreign affairs, and if that plan is favourable to Israel's security in the Middle East, why isn't it fair to point that out?

My answer is that there are a disproportionate number of Jews intellectually engaged at every ideological point on the democratic political spectrum, and yet the neocons are the only such group to be singled out as Jews in Adbusters.

A Kerry-McCain Ticket? by Jude Wanniski

You would not even notice until you had been surrounded, because the neo-cons have long, long lists of comrades in both political parties, so they would not have to have McCain pushing only Republicans into key spots.

Road map to hell by Pepe Escobar

By creating a shaheed (martyr) through the assassination of Hamas spiritual leader Sheikh Yassin, Israel may have signaled a war not only against all Palestinians, but against all Islam.

911 Incongruities by Paul Craig Roberts

The salient fact that emerges from Clarke’s book, Against All Enemies, is that the neoconservatives who control the Bush administration wanted to invade Iraq. The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon gave the neoconservatives the opportunity they wanted. All they had to do was to spin the terrorism issue and point the finger at Saddam Hussein.

The Yassin Assassination by GARY LEUPP

Let us say Perle's dream comes true and the Israeli air force does attack pro-Hamas Syria. Let's say it does so big-time, Sharon-style, and does major damage. Enough to cause enough disorder for the U.S. to argue that a deteriorating situation requires international intervention. The Iraq attack required months of preparation, but intervention in Syria will happen very quickly, coming like a thief in the night as it did in Haiti.

Lutheran pastor and American paleo-con Mark Dankof observes that targeted killings, assassinations, and atrocities are AOK with George Bush, the neo-cons, and the crackpots in the Dispensational prophecy wing of the American Christian Right--as long as the perpetrators are Ariel Sharon and the State of Israel.

If Clarke Is Right, Bush Must Go by Christopher Deliso

For the Neocons, "The Absence of Evidence Is Not The Evidence of Absence".

Was It All Planned? Iraq and Empire-Builders by Jon Basil Utley

It should be noted that those who benefit from war or the threat of war are many more than just the old military-industrial complex, warned about by former President Eisenhower. Indeed remember that most of the uniformed military opposed the attack on Iraq. It was pro-war neocon civilians who took over Pentagon policy making positions.

Fox News: trumpet of Israel's hard right by PAUL CONANT

A Dialogue About Leo Strauss, and the Effect of His Nihilist Philosophy Today

It's called The Political Ideas of Leo Strauss.

Vince Cannistro, former CIA Chief of Counter-Terrorism, spoke out on the neo-con crowd: “Their methods are vicious. The politicization of intelligence is pandemic, and deliberate disinformation is being promoted. They choose the worst-case scenario on everything, and so much of the information is fallacious.”

Reality and Lies: The NWO Zionist Neo-Con War Machine (part three) by Victor Thorn

In other words, our invasion of Iraq rests on false pretenses, and the neo-con, Zionist, New World Order agenda was never fully disclosed to the American public.

Iraq One Year Later by Rep. Ron Paul, MD

Is America better off as a result of our war in Iraq? The young men and women who were hurt or killed certainly are no better off. Their families are no better off. Taxpayers are no better off. Whether we are safer from terrorism here at home is an open question.

Christison on the Neocons - War Without End

Unpatriotic (and Bloodthirsty) Neocons by Thomas DiLorenzo

So, the FreeRepublic/Dittohead/Hannityloving/NationalReviewReading/Bloodthirsty war proponents are directly causing the death of more and more young American soldiers by continuing to support this military aggression.

The Entire Bush Foreign Policy is based on a Dubious Narrative of US History by Tristram Hunt

Although the neoconservative polemicist Charles Krauthammer has declared America to be "the dominant power in the world, more dominant than any since Rome", and Paul Bremer, the head of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, sounds every day more like an Edwardian viceroy, the White House is adamant that the war on terror is distinct from the colonial ambitions of previous great powers.

In 1997, the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (Jinsa) declared: "Jinsa has been working closely with Iraqi National Council leader Dr Ahmad Chalabi to promote Saddam Hussein's removal from office..." Chalabi is the CIA-backed stooge and convicted embezzler at present organising the next "democratic" government in Baghdad.

Is everyone who fails to follow Bush guilty of "appeasement"? by James Pinkerton

The day after the Madrid terror bombing, the neoconservative press -- should we call it the "neocontern"? . . . Of course, the real object of the neocon word blitz wasn't to soothe the Spanish, but rather to propagandize Americans; the neocons don't really care about Spain.
