THOUGHT OF THE DAY:

Both Iraq and Afghanistan show that there is no inevitability to America's victory in spite of its unique fire power, intelligence services and money. In Iraq, the U.S. is stuck and desperately wants to be bailed out by the "United Nations." In Afghanistan, the Taliban are making a comeback and are beginning to challenge U.S. troops in face to face battles.

COUSCOUS IS NOT JEWISH!

[From our Christian friend, Carolyn, in Florida]

Cooking Light Magazine Letter to the Editor:

For the past few months, I have noticed that you have started calling Couscous "Israeli Couscous". That label is completely in error as Couscous is a very Middle Eastern/ (Arab/Persian) dish-not Jewish. The majority of people that live in Israel are from the United States, Russia, Europe and Ethiopia. Hamburgers, Matzohs, bagels and borsch would be more appropriate for Israeli food, if you feel that you have to put ethnic labels on food.

Having spent five years in the Arabian Gulf and frequented nearly every country in that region, I find what is written above to be true.

I hope that in the future you are more sensitive to these issues. Let's give credit where it is due.

Thanks and keep up the good work with your magazine.

Regards,

NEWS:
PALESTINE
On October 10, 2003 Israeli tanks and troops funded by the U.S. invaded Rafah refugee near Gaza on the Egyptian border. They killed EIGHT Palestinians including two children.

In BAGHDAD, U.S. troops came under attack from Shi'ite Muslims. Two U.S. troops were killed and 4 wounded. [As New Trend had pointed out before the war began, most Iraqi Shias are nationalists. Their leader in Baghdad is openly anti-U.S. but does not support Iran either.]
Various news items on the Internet indicate that Iraqis are suffering daily dead and wounded from U.S. military attacks. Only the U.S. losses are reported in the media while the Iraqi losses are not mentioned at all.

NONE DARE REFER TO RUSH LIMBAUGH'S ISRAELI CONTACTS
AMERICAN RACISM and ZIONISM ARE TWO FACES of SAME COIN

Rush Limbaugh is important in the world of American radio talk shows. He has a huge audience from coast- to-coast, mostly avid Republicans who enjoy his Clinton bashing. Beneath the surface level political stuff, Limbaugh has also perfected the art of racist commentary. He does it so well that there is "deniability" built into his racism.

This time he stumbled and made a transparent remark about McNabb, a sports star from Philadelphia. CNN and other pro-Democrat TV people immediately picked it up. From there it went to the uncovering of Limbaugh drug addiction.

However, none of Limbaugh's critics dare mention his links with the racist Likud party in Israel (occupied Palestine). Limbaugh is a great friend of Sharon and was treated as a special guest when he visited Israel. Often when Limbaugh is away and one or the other of his buddies run the show, it turns out that they are even to the right of him in their support of Israel.

Any study of Limbaugh would show that there is a deep connection between racism in America and support for Israel.
