Where Am I From?

The people of Palestine love the ancestral land from whence they came.

(GAZA CITY, State of Palestine) - A POEM:
"Where am I from?"
I'm from the land of prophets
Where they ascended to heavens.

I'm from the land of olive trees,
Lemons, apples and oranges
Where the guests are generously hosted.

U.S Members of Congress Move to Block Israeli Annexation of Palestinian West Bank Territories

The Free Palestine Movement comments on the positive move for peace and justice by U.S. Congress

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - The Free Palestine Movement accepts the positive statement by twelve members of the U.S. Congress to condition aid to "Israel" on blocking annexation of territories in the Palestinian West Bank.

It is a gesture in the right direction, and we support it as such. However, we caution that it is a very small step and that much more is needed to restore justice.

Addressing the Lies Spread about Gilad

Direct from the source: Gilad Atzmon takes on his critics.

(LONDON) - For more than a decade and a half I have been subjected to a relentless and sometimes violent smear campaign. I have been accused of all sorts of ‘hate crimes’ including the totally ludicrous claim that I advocate the ‘burning of synagogues', 'incitements of violence', and have routinely been labelled, among other slurs, a ‘notorious anti-semite’ and a ‘Holocaust denier’.

Of course, if any of these accusations had merit, I would have spent time behind bars.

Dr. Romano Filed ICC Complaint vs. Netanyahu for War Crimes

Romano stayed in Palestine, undercover, for several months before he was captured by Israeli police.

(PARIS, France) - Dr. Romano filed 66-page complaint against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Minister of Defense Avigdor Lieberman before the International Criminal Court (ICC), in Holland, for War Crimes and Crimes Against Humanity, etc. committed against Palestinians in the West Bank.

The charges in the complaint include, but are not limited to, the following violations of international law...

Code-Panic: A Controlled Opposition Spectacle

On the record: Israel's news agencies report that Israel was deeply involved in the targeted assassination of the Iranian general.

(LONDON) - Ariel Gold is the national co-director of CODEPINK, and claims to support the Palestinians and oppose Israel. On January 3rd, Ariel, the so called ‘Jewish dissenter’ rushed to post the following tweet:

“Loving reminder to folks rightfully horrified the US attack on Iran: please don’t frame this as being as being done to please Israel. This is Donald Trump and his band of US war hawks, period. To suggest Jews are pulling the strings is nothing short of antisemitism.”

Persistent Human Rights Violations Ignored by MSM

It is up to each of us to challenge APARTHEID, wherever it may rear its ugly head.

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - The US administration has violated international law before, including use of agent orange in Vietnam and dozens of other actions. But it also funds and fully supports violators of international law and human rights.

Moving its embassy to illegally occupied Jerusalem was a violation of law.

International Peace Activists Physically Abused by Israeli Soldiers

This is what the Israeli demolition of a Palestinian home looks like. Brutal.

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - At 3am yesterday morning, hundreds of Israeli soldiers were sent to a Palestinian neighbourhood called Wadi al-Hummus near East Jerusalem to demolish two homes full of families, and an unfinished building where 350 people had bought apartment spaces for their future homes.

Israel's reason for destroying these homes? Because they were 'too close' to their illegal separation wall.

Think big.... dreams do come true!

Our motto is respect: for ourselves, for others, and for nature.

(OCCUPIED PALESTINE) - We just celebrated Easter in the Holy Land and we look with anticipation to Ramadan. While many of us are not religious, we do recognize the value of these “traditions” to social fabric in our society.

Tradition and culture actually has much more nuance and mix than meets the eye. Easter is Ishtar and fertility holiday and Passover is not a historical event but based on earlier mythologies of Gods and redemption.

Netanyahu Wins, Palestinians Lose

To this day, Israel has not defined its borders. Ever.

(SAN FRANCISCO, Calif.) - Despite three pending corruption charges, Benjamin Netanyahu won a fifth term as Israel’s prime minister.

During the campaign, he said he would annex Jewish settlements in the West Bank — land captured in 1967. This would firm up Israel's hold on them and will probably preclude any Palestinian state. Presently, there are more than 2.5 million Palestinians in the West Bank and severely blockades 2 million more in Gaza.

Impostor Lures Activist to Israeli Police Sting

An interview with Frank Romano conducted by renowned documentary film director Guy Davidi.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Romano, eager to publicize the struggle for survival of Khan al Ahmar, agreed to a meeting. Unfortunately, the people he trusted were actually Israeli agents.

It was a trap!

As soon as the interview had begun, standing in front of the village of “Al Khan al Ahmar” with the impostor journalist, 4-5 Israeli police cars drove up and arrested Romano
