More Threats from Palestine`s Nasty Neighbour

Israel to extract a heavy price if Palestinians join UN bodies, says minister

(LONDON) - US­ brokered negotiations with Israel, which started on 29 July 2013 and were to last nine months, are nearing their ignominious end.

And Israel, the serial defaulter that it is, has reneged on the agreed release of 104 prisoners in exchange for Palestine’s postponing joining international organizations to help achieve their long ­overdue freedom.

Israel-Palestine Talks Have No Positive Effect: Activist

This unsustainable, unjust apartheid ... [entity] of Israel known as the Jewish ... [entity] of Israel can be no more and it is only a matter of time for we find one state in that region and ultimately I look forward to all of the people being treated respectfully and well under the law. This is the only just solution. - Ken O'Keefe

(LONDON) - Press TV has conducted an interview with Ken O’Keefe, peace activist from Hawaii, about negotiations between the Israeli regime and the Palestinian Authority.

What follows is an approximate transcription of the interview.

Rosenberg`s Rubbishing of BDS Misses the Point

Properly presented the case for One State is not only about the need to stop the countdown to catastrophe for all, it is also truly inspirational.

(LONDON) - In an article asserting that the BDS (Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions) Movement is “irrelevant”, M. J. Rosenberg has written, under the headline The Goal Of The BDS Movement Is Dismantling Israel, Not The ’67 Occupation, “The solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is two states for two peoples.”

The question he chose to ignore - I wonder why?

The Goal of the BDS Movement Is Justice: Israel Denies Justice and therefore does not Exist as a Legitimate State

The BDS Movement does not have to dismantle the state of Israel, the state of Israel is not only dissembling its inherent Judaic roots of compassion and equity for all humans but delegitimizing the state itself...

(LAVERNE, Ca.) - Justice and legitimacy are one and inexorably linked to the Charters and Declarations of the United Nations.

This is a truth that Michael J. Rosenberg does not address as he castigates the supporters of the BDS movement in his recent article: “The Goal of the BDS Movement is the Dismantling of Israel.”

Meet Egypt`s Next Leader

“Muslim Brotherhood is nothing but a blight in the Egyptian contemporary socio-political fabric and wiping it off requires a leader with a vision”

(ALEXANDRIA, Egypt) - Iraq is devastated, Lebanon is worn out, Yemen is collapsing, Sudan is split, Libya is ruins, Palestine is history and Syria is dying and the Gulf states are feeling the tremor approaching … all eyes are on Egypt now.

Welcome to the new Middle East … welcome to the aftermath of designed chaos and fake democracy, or the so called Arab Spring.

You Couldn`t Make it Up! £50 for an Audience With Israeli `Justice` Minister on War Crimes Wanted List

...and basking under the special protection of Her Majesty's Government.

(LONDON) - The 2014 Annual Congress of the University and College Union Scotland (UCU Scotland) has voted unanimously to condemn the planned visit by Israel's Tzipi Livni, wanted for war crimes, says StopTheJNF.

In 2009 Livni cancelled a visit to London when she discovered an arrest warrant had been issued against her, along with Ehud Barak and retired general Doron Almog, on the grounds that she had been a member of the Israeli war cabinet which organised the slaughter of more than a 1400 Palestinians.

Nazi/Labor Zionism Collaboration

"Perhaps only 2 million Jews will survive the upcoming Holocaust, (yes, he used that word) but they will be strong and good for the Land of Israel. The rest will be blown into the dustpile of history." - Chaim Weizmann, leader of Labor Zionism, 1936

(ST. AUGUSTINE) - Circulating throughout the internet is a photo of a used Boeing 777 parked in Israel, and with it the conclusion that this is proof that the still-to-be explained disappearance of the Malaysian passenger jet was an Israeli operation.

I was recently sent the text of Lenni Brenner's study of the Transfer Agreement, a horrid pact signed in 1933 between the Labor Zionists and the Nazis, by a very pro-Israel writer.

State of Palestine`s Place on the International Map

It has been a long and difficult road, but Palestine is now a recognized nation, and Bing Maps needs to view it as such.

(SALEM) - Though it has been an uphill battle, Palestine is now officially recognized as a state or country, and its leadership is to be recognized as the "government of Palestine" according to the United Nations. This is a huge development for Palestine, a country that was largely ceded to Israel during the late 1940's, and again divided and seized 20 years later, during the "Six Day War" in 1967.

Now that the recognition has taken place, advocates for Palestine are stepping up to see that the country is accepted by agencies like Microsoft, and added to Bing Maps.

Arab League Impotence Continues & What a Mess the Arab World is in

At the time of writing the divisions within the Arab League seem set to widen.

(LONDON) - A thought constantly in my mind, and which was reinforced by the Arab League’s 25th Summit in Kuwait, is that with Arab leaders and governments as “enemies” the Zionist state of Israel does not need friends.

The Arab League was formed in Cairo on 22 March 1945. Its six founding member states were Egypt, Iraq, Transjordan (renamed Jordan in 1949) Lebanon, Saudi Arabia and Syria.

Human Rights in USA, Canada and More...

The Israeli Knesset passed more laws to discriminate and intensified its repression and denial of rights while the Arab governments exchanged more flowery language about supporting Palestine in their "summit".

(BETHLEHEM) - I leave Palestine to the USA and Canada (West Coasts) Saturday. I will be speaking at a few venues about human rights and why I am (still) optimistic about our common humanity.

I feel guilty to leave for I am always glad to be in Palestine despite the difficulties. Sharing in sad events and in good events both help me stay sane. Just today (Wednesday), we buried my uncle Fawzi (the last of six brothers on my father's side).
