These two articles come from rense.com, which seems to be positioned between the neo-liberal (realist school of foreign policy ), and the neo-Nazi camp. The position on palestine of the realists is essentially zionist, in that it differs from [...]

for your hosts to read out
the conditions for peace
in a treaty with the dead.
-Mahmoud Darwish, from Speech of [...]
