The Strange Silence of the Nation Magazine. I really urge those who care for peace and justice around the world to write to the Nation magazine to express their outrage, and to cancel their subscriptions. The stance of the magazine during the Israeli war of aggression on Lebanon has been nothing but disgraceful. They acted as if there was no war. They did their best, just like the Bush administration, to give Israel time to "finish the job." We now know where the Nation magazine stands on the Middle East. I also urge Arabs to not write in the Nation anymore, unless you wish to serve as a token Arab voice.
