CALLING FROM
OCCUPIED
JERUSALEM: IMUS's
ZIONIST
LINK
Producer
MSNBC
REF: "Imus in the Morning"
Dear producer
On May 28, Imus had Tom Rose of the Jerusalem
Post on the phone and inflicted
the
Israeli
view of the world on his audience for
a full segment. Imus must
be one of those few people who do not know that
Jerusalem is an occupied city
brutally held down by the Israeli military and
secret intelligence forces.
Neither Rose nor Imus recognized this reality
during the lengthy gossip session
they had.
During its decades of occupation of Jerusalem,
Israel has repeatedly violated
the sanctity of the
Al-Aqsa mosque,
the third
holiest site for Islam. Israel
has resorted to the deportation of
Palestinians
from Jerusalem along with the
demolition of homes and the takeover of
Palestinian properties. All these are
violations of international law and mark Israel
as a pariah state isolated
from the norms of civilization.
In that context, Imus' friendship with Rose is
comparable to accepting a
phone call from Hitler's propaganda minister
Goebbels while Warsaw was under Nazi
occupation. Rose is a frequent visitor at Imus'
program.
Imus could have made an effort to balance Rose's
call by inviting an Islamic
scholar to respond. Imus did not do so. Is it
possible that Imus does not know
journalism 101, that those criticized have the
right of reply?
Imus is a RADIO talk show host but unlike other
hosts does not (by and large)
permit the public to call him. Why is this inane
radio program repeated on
TV? Is support for Israel all one needs to be on
TV? MSNBC should maintain some
standards otherwise the only people watching it
will be 10% of the
American
people who are neo-conservative or
neo-colonialists (Neo-Cons).
Sincerely
Kaukab Siddique, Ph.D

Heavy Fighting in Occupied Kashmir: 20,000
Indian
Troops Swing into Action
Vajpayee Got Nod from Musharraf and
Bush
to Crush
Kashmiri Resistance
Mujahideen
Evade Military Thrust: India Claims
Heavy Losses Inflicted
"Go forth, lightly armed or heavy, and fight with
your goods and your persons
in Allah's way. That is best for you, if ye but
knew."
[The Qur'an 9:41]
[This verse is the call to battle of the poorly
armed but fearless freedom
fighters in Kashmir.]
On May 28, 2003 the Indian military
offensive in Kashmir reached its
peak. Heavy fighting is taking place in the Pir
Panjal Mountain range as the
mujahideen take evasive action to escape Indian
air and ground assaults. The
Indian offensive is the biggest since the
fighting in Kargil. The spearhead of the
Indian attack, bigger than in Kargil, consists of
20,000 of India's most
heavily armed troops led by helicopter gun ships.
The attack follows Bush's placement of
major Kashmiri resistance groups
on the list of "terrorists," a clear signal to
Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee
to crush the Kashmiris. Following the signal from
Bush,
Pakistani
coup leader
Musharraf gave the "go ahead" to India by
offering restoration of normal
relations while Vajpayee prepared the attack.
Musharraf has sealed off the Kashmir
"line of control" to prevent Lashkare Taiba
volunteers going in from Pakistan
to help the Kashmiris.
Just before the offensive, Musharraf banned
the entry of Pakistan jihad
leaders, both of Jaish Muhammad and Lashkare
Taiba, from entering Azad (free)
Kashmir in case they tried to mobilize support
for Indian occupied Kashmir.
India is claiming to have killed more than
100 mujahideen in the
ongoing offensive, which if true, would be the
heaviest loss suffered by the
resistance in any one action. On the other hand,
there are indications that the
mujahideen are fighting very well and are
withdrawing in good order.
Indian reinforcements are pouring into the
Kashmir from India. One
report says 13 new battalions have arrived.
[Ed. Comment: While India kills Kashmiris,
Pakistan's fat army, living off
the blood and sweat of the Pakistani people, is
patrolling the
Afghan
frontier
to make sure Islamic refugees do not escape the
wrath of America's gun ships.

HUGE INDIA-ISRAEL WEAPONS DEAL ANNOUNCED
India has bought the latest radar system
from ISRAEL for $1.2 billion.
[Source: Fox News, May 28, 2003.]
Comment: India has been dealing under the
table with Israel for 11 years
but this is the biggest and most open arms deal
between the two.
Owing to the control of Pakistan's foreign
ministry by secularized,
pro-western elements, Pakistan has done nothing
to stop the flow of Indians by the
thousands who live in Muslim countries and
control important sections of
Middle Eastern economies in Kuwait, UAE and Saudi
Arabia.
Pakistan's foreign
office totally failed to let the middle eastern
people know that India has
recognized Israel and has been doing business
with it for more than a decade.
