Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.

These restrictions constitute another ritual humiliation imposed on the Palestinians which will ultimately be profoundly counter-productive to the aim of Israeli "security." From the New York Times, Sept. 15:
Despite restrictions imposed by Israel and long lines at checkpoints, more than 50,000 Palestinians prayed at Al Aksa Mosque yesterday, the first Friday of Ramadan. Only men older than 45 and women older than 35 with special permits were allowed into the Old City and the mosque, Islam’s third holiest shrine. The start of Ramadan coincided with the Jewish New Year. In the West Bank, two Israelis in a car were hurt in a drive-by shooting; no group claimed responsibility.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
