Farah's "Myths of the Middle East" column, posted on WND in the fall of 2000, created an International firestorm for its bold expos? of some of the distortions perpetuated by Arab propaganda and reinforced by much of the international press. Farah received over 30,000 e-mails from around the world within a few days of that article's publication. He became one of the most requested speakers worldwide on the Middle East, and was invited to write a weekly column for the Jerusalem Post.

Since then, Farah has written other columns further detailing the actual historical events and exposing popular but fabricated "facts" of the Middle East. Among them are "More myths of the Middle East," "What is a Palestinian?" and many others.
Farah's daily column, "Between the Lines," currently appears exclusively on WND, but will be available to newspapers around the world in July through Creators Syndicate.
