You Don't Have To Be Smart To Be Rich, Study Finds (IQ is a problematic issue by itself, but even taking that at face value, I wonder if they even looked at the influence of generational wealth on the numbers?

322 [lbo-talk] Articles on Azmi Bishara and Ilan Pappe -- rank: 1000

Michael Warschawski wrote two good articles, one about Ilan Pappe's decision to leave Haifa University and move to a university in the UK, and another about the situation of MK Azmi Bishara of the Balad political party, who has (probably) decided to resign from his position as head of the party, complaining of persecution and with rumors of a criminal investigation against him by the Israeli authorities.

328 [lbo-talk] Amnesty Report: Hezbollah War Crimes -- rank: 1000

I was vocally against this war from the beginning, and agree wholeheartedly Israel cynically used the capture of two of 'its' soldiers as a pretense to wage all out war against the people of Lebanon. But I don't think there is a contradiction between being adamantly against what Israel has done (and is doing) and at the same time, making sure that we are clear about the events that occurred, and critically approaching reportage of events from all sides, attempting to attain some form of movement ...

329 [lbo-talk] Amnesty Report: Hezbollah War Crimes -- rank: 1000

There is the one statement of the Lebanese police from the day of the capture. That is the statement repeated throughout the articles you mention and there are many blogs in english that mention that. There definitely was fighting going on near Aïta al-Chaab...that is where the Israelis moved in towards about an hour after the initial capture and where most of the casualties took place. I think that is what is confusing to people. There was a conflation of two more or less distinct events (the o ...
