Znet Article, February, 18 2003 Edward Herman
Herman's ZSpace page

One of the most dramatic features of the Bush-Blair drive to war--actually, "massacre" given the imbalance of forces-- has been the split and struggle between governments and their citizenry. It might be argued that this ongoing struggle demonstra...

Commentary Herman: The Manufactured And Real Iraq Crisis

Commentary, February, 04 2003 Edward Herman
Herman's ZSpace page

With enough power and chutzpah it is possible for an aggressive and over-armed state to manufacture a crisis and pretend that the crisis lies with the threatened victim rather than with the aggressor state. Today, the United States has not only ma...

Herman's ZSpace page

I owe an apology to Michael Berube on the point of the title to his article in the Chronicle, although I do believe the title does convey a true picture of its tone and message. He is lecturing to the antiwar movement, and he does call for its gre...

Palestinians are "Semites," but the word antisemitism is never applied to prejudice against them, only to Jews. The restriction on the application to Jews, and failure to use it in reference to Palestinians, continues in the face of the fact that ...

Znet Article Herman: Christopher Hitchens And The Uses Of Demagoguery

Znet Article, September, 22 2002 Edward Herman
Herman's ZSpace page

In his latest phase as flack for the war party, Christopher Hitchens has taken on some of the qualities of his leader George W. Bush. A notable similarity is in his demagogic statement of the issues "we" face since 9/11--in W's words, an "evil" en...

Commentary Herman: "israel's Willing Executioners"

Commentary, May, 11 2002 Edward Herman
Herman's ZSpace page

It should be obvious that the above title is an oxymoron, because Israel is good, only a victim, not a victimizer, besides which Israel is a U.S. client and friend. So an invidious phrase like "willing executioners" can no more be applied to Israe...
