		<description><![CDATA[Dear Friends: I am deeply humbled by all the words of encouragement and appreciation you have directed my way. Things were not turning out the way I had expected and as a result the hiatus turned out to be far longer than I had anticipated. I am still tied down by my responsibilities, but the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2463&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Another Chorister for Israel</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On February 29 last year the BBC&#8217;s website reported deputy defense minister Matan Vilnai threatening a &#8216;holocaust&#8217; on Gaza. Headlined &#8220;Israel warns of Gaza &#8216;holocaust&#8217;&#8221;, the story would undergo nine revisions in the next twelve hours. Before the day was over, the headline would read &#8220;Gaza militants &#8216;risking disaster&#8217;&#8220;. (The story has since been revised [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2456&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Hiatus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over the past few months I have been trying to juggle the responsibilities of maintaining a current affairs blog and of writing a book length doctoral thesis. As a result I have not done justice to either (I haven&#8217;t even managed to cover the developments in Kashmir, for example). I persisted out of a sense [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2438&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Georgia War a Neocon Election Ploy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[October comes early? Sen. John McCain and Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili. Let me also point out that this fellow Michael Klare is a third rate hack who has been peddling the oleaginous counterpart to the millenium bug for some years. It is contra-analytical, factually challenged, monocausal analysis like this that has reduced the left to [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2434&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

George Clooney once famously declared he could never run for public office because he’d ‘slept with too many women, done too many drugs and been to too many parties’.

		<title>America&#8217;s Israeli-Occupied Media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Former CIA officer Philip Giraldi on US media&#8217;s platform for Israeli warmongering. There should be little doubt that the Israeli government is making every effort to jump-start a war against Iran sooner rather than later. Many Israelis not surprisingly believe it is in their interest to convince the United States to attack Iran so that [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2426&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>Avoid cliché like the plague? Never</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8216;We are all guilty&#8217;, writes Robert Fisk. &#8216;To my distress, I find that I thrice used the word &#8216;iconic&#8217; in my book. Ye Gods!&#8217; Opposite my apartment in Beirut there used to live an American-born English teacher called Marion Lanson. When she departed Lebanon, I inherited her 1949 Random House American College Dictionary, edited by [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2418&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<title>George vs the Smearmongers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This report by some tool named Michael Savage is interesting in so far as it turns the victim of a vicious smear into the victimiser. Poor character assassins &#8212; what would they do if they weren&#8217;t accorded the privilege of smearing? London&#8217;s only Jewish community radio station has been forced to cease broadcasting after losing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2416&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Our loss is great, we tell each other. In our minds we think of Edward Said, of Haider Abdel-Shafi, of Faisal Husseini, and even &#8211; yes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=fanonite.org&amp;blog=336966&amp;post=2414&amp;subd=fanonite&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
