Islamophobic Harry`s Place thanks its Jewish Anti Zionist Collaborators

Cooper is correct that “far from destroying the impression of Jewish support for Israeli actions, their (Jewish anti Zionists) opposition reinforces it.”

(LONDON) - In the last year we have seen some so called Jewish ‘anti’ Zionists working hard to appease their Zionist brothers.

Naomi Wimborne Idrissi attempted to run a clandestine operation within our movement. Sarah Kershnar of the IJAN attempted to jeopardise a Palestinian Solidarity conference, and we saw the relentless Tony Greenstein harassing Richard Falk...

(LONDON) - Meet another of Israel's undesirables, Yuli Edelstein.He is the regime’s Propaganda Minister (or to be more precise, Minister for Dis-information and Diaspora) and he runs the biggest lie machine in the world.

Why does this wanton destruction of private Palestinian homes continue unabated?
