Please be aware of this while you read.

There are many competing agendas in commentary and reporting on the Israel Palestine Conflict. There are also extremist viewpoints to be found on both sides of the conflict. It is therefore important to be aware of the fact that zionist blatant spamming of left - wing and progressive news sites is rampant at present taking place in many forums. We are loath to take part in censorship and as such would prefer if informed readers use the comment facility to point out, question and subvert obviously propagandistic posts.

It is telling that while this very organised spamming by people like 'mary' and others is taking place on this site the IDF are destroying Internet Service Providers in occupied Palestine.

Some good sources of news and opinion on middle east issues include

www.electronicintifada.net
www.guardian.co.uk
www.zmag.org
www.palestinechronicle.com
www.drudgereport.com is good for mainstream US opinion
www.jerusalem.indymedia.org
www.ireland.com
www.counterpunch.org
www.mediachannel.org - news dissector section

Also for a mind-boggling history of Lebanon and the PLO and Palestine - Pity the Nation by Robert Fisk is indispensable.
