* What really happened during Operation Cast Lead and Operation Pillar of Defense, two of Israel's large-scale military assaults on the defenseless Gaza Strip
* What the so-called "peace process" is and why the US pursues it so aggressively
* Why Israel attacked the Mavi Marmara in international waters, and why the US defended the killing of nine peace activists on board
* How Israel has maintained its occupation of Palestine and what must happen to bring it to an end
* What must occur for Palestinian refugees to have a realistic hope of exercising their right to return to their homeland
* How and why the US mainstream media manipulate information so as to manufacture consent for US foreign policy
* How to decipher the euphemistic language used by the government and media to deceive the public
* How the United Nations helped create the conflict and how Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has played a duplicitous role
* What the Goldstone Report was, what its findings were, and why it so upset the US and Israel
* How, despite congenial rhetoric to the contrary, the Obama administration has continued the longstanding US policy of rejecting the rights of the Palestinian people
* And much more!
