It was provoked in my mind by a recent Ynet op-ed article by Ziv Lenchner, described as a left-leaning, Jewish Israeli artist. The headline over his piece was Israelis to Obama - we don’t care, don’t bother us. http://salem-news.com/articles/april032013/palestine-options-ah.php http://salem-news.com/articles/april032013/palestine-options-ah.php Wed, 03 Apr 2013 17:25:00 PDT Swedish novelist Henning Mankell tells of an experience in Mozambique at the peak of the hideous atrocities of the apartheid era, when he saw a thin man walking towards him in ragged clothes. “In his deep misery,” Mankell relates, the wretched survivor had “painted shoes on his feet. In a way, to defend his dignity when everything was lost, he had found the colors from the earth and he had painted shoes on his feet.” http://salem-news.com/articles/march292013/chomsky-said.php http://salem-news.com/articles/march292013/chomsky-said.php Fri, 29 Mar 2013 17:52:00 PDT Three women who were part of an aid convoy passing through Libya on the way to Gaza have been sexually assaulted in Benghazi, after a group of five British nationals were briefly kidnapped.

The worse part is when it is so prolonged, by whichever factor, to the extent that the video footage, the photo and the personal accounts, become the ever-present state of affairs, a painful and humiliating status quo. http://salem-news.com/articles/february232013/victims-want-rb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/february232013/victims-want-rb.php Sat, 23 Feb 2013 10:51:00 PST Three months have passed since the ceasefire that brought an end to Israel's eight-day attack on the Gaza Strip known as Operation "Pillar of Defence".

Through the generosity of hundreds of people like you around the world, since the beginning of our project, we have raised over $50,000. We feel confident now to set Gaza's Ark in motion. Later this month we plan to make a down-payment and take delivery of the boat in order to start rebuilding it right away, as we raise the rest of the money to pay it in full. http://salem-news.com/articles/january172013/gaza-ark.php http://salem-news.com/articles/january172013/gaza-ark.php Thu, 17 Jan 2013 16:05:00 PST With breathtaking magnitude, resolute in forefending responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity A darkly glib inhabits the psychic scape of a ruinously polished occupier seeking pseudo security http://salem-news.com/articles/december292012/belligerent-occupier-sb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december292012/belligerent-occupier-sb.php Sat, 29 Dec 2012 12:01:00 PST Israel persecutes them for not being Jews. Praying to the wrong God is criminalized. Hunger strikers defy Israeli lawlessness. Abstinence is their only weapon. Widespread actions persisted for weeks last spring. Some lasted over two months. Miraculously no one died. Victories remain elusive. http://salem-news.com/articles/december232012/palestine-strikers-sl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december232012/palestine-strikers-sl.php Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:30:00 PST My first Christmas greeting this year came all the way from Bethlehem itself, just yards from where the Big Story is supposed to have begun 2012 years ago. My friend Jiries is a survivor of the murderous 40-day siege of the Church of the Nativity by Israeli troops in 2002. These days, for me, Christmas has become a time to remember some of the extraordinary people I’ve met in the Holy Land... http://salem-news.com/articles/december202012/christmas-message-sl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december202012/christmas-message-sl.php Thu, 20 Dec 2012 11:48:00 PST A wailing poignancy tearing at the very heart of a much troubled core Drenched in a blood soaked landscape incessantly scarred by murderous lore... http://salem-news.com/articles/december172012/memory-land-sb.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december172012/memory-land-sb.php Mon, 17 Dec 2012 16:16:00 PST In the aftermath of Khaled Meshaal’s emotional visit to Gaza in celebration of Hamas’ 25th anniversary, commentary in Israel and the West has focused on his remarks at a rally as “defiant”. The Israelis claim his words confirm “the true face” of Hamas. http://salem-news.com/articles/december172012/review-hamas-rf.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december172012/review-hamas-rf.php Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:50:00 PST This week, a new Jewish ‘progressive’ text has been published which you simply must read and circulate around. This is not because it’s any good, quite the opposite, it is, as usual, just a window into a tribal psychosis and a glimpse into morbid, Jewish, progressive nonsense. http://salem-news.com/articles/december172012/holocaust-hope-ga.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december172012/holocaust-hope-ga.php Mon, 17 Dec 2012 12:32:00 PST How Many Kids in Gaza have to die before Americans open their eyes to this unfolding religious/political tragedy? The images used in the creation of this new video by Agron Belica are shocking to Americans, but not to Palestinians, they are routinely treated like animals... http://salem-news.com/articles/december162012/one-more-gaza-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december162012/one-more-gaza-tk.php Sun, 16 Dec 2012 22:35:00 PST The following video exposes the link between Israeli barbarism and Jewish cultural and religious teaching.

Beinart took his clue from the “pro forma and bland” response the White House... http://salem-news.com/articles/december142012/hands-dignity-jw.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december142012/hands-dignity-jw.php Fri, 14 Dec 2012 17:04:00 PST It is a shame that Americans are indifferent to the people of Gaza. Human beings just like anyone else, they are the victims of Israeli military aggression and it is not a pretty picture as this video shows. There simply are no similar pictures of Israeli people being killed. http://salem-news.com/articles/december122012/israel-death-gaza-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december122012/israel-death-gaza-tk.php Wed, 12 Dec 2012 15:50:00 PST The US will sell Israel $647 million in munitions to renew the inventory of the Israel Defense Forces following the massive bombings in Gaza. http://salem-news.com/articles/december112012/israel-existence-mk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december112012/israel-existence-mk.php Tue, 11 Dec 2012 17:08:00 PST It isn't every day that we see Israeli soldiers actually running for their lives from stone throwing Palestinian youth. http://salem-news.com/articles/december112012/idf-flees-ga.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december112012/idf-flees-ga.php Tue, 11 Dec 2012 13:43:00 PST Some commentators have been saying that Israel's latest land-grab has effectively killed off the two-state solution (if such a thing was ever truly feasible). And this has led to questions like, what should the Palestinians do next? Palestinians must have been asking themselves the same thing for the last 64 years. http://salem-news.com/articles/december102012/palestine-destiny-sl.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december102012/palestine-destiny-sl.php Mon, 10 Dec 2012 15:28:00 PST Women who immigrated from Ethiopia eight years ago say they were told they would not be allowed into Israel unless they agreed to be injected with the long-acting birth control drug Depo Provera.

Raindrops fell on my face and hair, my eyes went blank, and I stared off, and the sad music started because I remembered the martyrs, the injured and the orphans. http://salem-news.com/articles/december092012/gaza-children-ra.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december092012/gaza-children-ra.php Sun, 09 Dec 2012 00:01:00 PST If the Israelis expected the Hamas to become a Palestinian Judenrat, Hamas' leader Khaled Meshaal made it clear today that this is not going to happen anytime soon.

How can pounding people into burning pools of twisted torture and grief be an answer? http://salem-news.com/articles/december072012/gaza-blood-tk.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december072012/gaza-blood-tk.php Fri, 07 Dec 2012 17:55:00 PST An old man in Gaza held a placard that reads: “You take my water, burn my olive trees, destroy my house, take my job, steal my land, imprison my father, kill my mother, bombard my country, starve us all, humiliate us all but I am to blame: I shot a rocket back.” http://salem-news.com/articles/december072012/chomsky-gaza-nc.php http://salem-news.com/articles/december072012/chomsky-gaza-nc.php Fri, 07 Dec 2012 11:45:00 PST
