I agree, Fred. In America you might look up Richard Falk (professor of international relations at Princeton), a leading dissenter on American foreign policy and the media 'connection'. Books: Geoff Simons, 'The Scourging of Iraq: Sanctions, law and natural justice' Macmillan (sorry, I forget the date) Recent documentaries: John Pilger: 'Paying the Price:killing the children of Iraq" - it caused a big stir when it went to air in Britain recently - public response was overwhelming. Check out Pilger's own commentary on the debate: http://pilger.carlton.com/articles/19881 In fact, for some of the most brilliant news/war reporting 'from the other side' that you are ever likely to read, search Pilger's own website: John Pilger: http://pilger.carlton.com/ His lead article on this site is, in fact, on the attack on New York (dated 13 Sept), otherwise he publishes mostly in the Guardian and Spectator and has made many documentaries (the latest on globalisation). More of Pilger's articles on media power and 'third world conflicts' are in an Australian archive: http://www.users.bigpond.com/nlevine/thearchive.html see especially, the new Statesman article (1998) on the bombing of the American embassy in Kenya: http://www.users.bigpond.com/nlevine/terrorists.html and the western news media: http://www.users.bigpond.com/nlevine/media.html I hope that helps, for starters comradely Nicky ------------------------------------ At 07:56 15/09/01 -0400, you wrote: > >Comrades, it looks to me like we have some long, hard anti-war work ahead >of us. > >Does anyone know of good books, web sites, etc. on the history of the >Arab-Isreali conflict, especially the dispossession of the Palestinians? > >Thanks, >Fred > > > %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% Nicola Mostyn (Taylor) Faculty of Economics Murdoch University South Street Murdoch W.A. 6150 Australia Tel. 61 8 9385 1130 email: n.taylor@stu.murdoch.edu.au %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%|
