| #9 Bulldog's got it right. When the "Zionist Whatevers" show up, be prepared for the most comical propaganda this side of North Korea. |

| #8 This is truly a sad day. How will those children grow up to be healthy and strong suicide bombers now? Martyrs need nutrition, too! |

Sounds more like they were meant for Arafish then those children. |

| #6 Gosh, I can't decide whether I meant "programme" or "pogrom"! |

| #4 SW &BD. The "problem" with Saddam's mesopotamian marshland "programme" is that it was a "pogrom" to rid the world of these marsh dwelling Arabs. :) |

| #3 My credibility scanner flips automatically to code red sceptical when an article's first three words are "The Zionist authorities"... They have a problem in Iraq that sounds slightly better-meaning, though they do manage to discuss the plight of the Iraqi Marsh Arabs without mentioning Saddam. LOL SW, Freudian slip methinks - you mean programme, right?! To be fair to them, they do say "[t]]hese people were especially targeted by the cruelty of the Hussein Regime" near the start of the restoration of the mesopotamian marshlands piece on the site - I thik you must have missed that. The Iraq Foundation does look like a rational org to me too, from my superficial examination, though there doesn't seem to have been much updating of the site in the last half year - unless they don't think there is a human rights problem in Iraq at the moment, and if so, good for them. Maybe there's more to the story than The Palestine Information Centre are letting on re Israeli reasons for disrupting traffic in the shipment/port. I mean, just maybe... |

| #2 From the article: A spokesman for a Hebron-based charity accused the Israeli government of seeking âto starve Palestinian children.â âI think they are waging a war of starvation against us. It is a kind of holocaust,â said the official who asked for anonymity. If this was true, why would the spokesman ask for anonymity? |

| #1 Holy Land Trust sounds suspicious. They work on helping the Paleos on "nonviolent resistance" (obviously isn't working), serving as "travel guides" (creating new St. Pancakes) and sponsoring "children's clubs" (teaching little Achmed how to wear his bomb vest). They have a problem in Iraq that sounds slightly better-meaning, though they do manage to discuss the plight of the Iraqi Marsh Arabs without mentioning Saddam. All in all they don't seem to be quite ISM, but not that far away, either. |
