The Palestine Papers and Us

The Palestinian people will liberate themselves eventually -- but it is also about time we all liberate ourselves from the grip of Israeli and Jewish lobbies.

(LONDON) - I have a rule -- I never intervene in Palestinian political matters. I never comment on Palestinian internal debate.

I do not think that I have the right to do so : I am an ex-Israeli and an ex-Jew, and I write about Israel, Jewish Identity politics, and Zionism.

British Military Working on Invisible War Machines

No stranger to stealth and stealthy hardware, the company has projects ranging from liquid battle armor to stealthy submarines like Astute.

(CHICAGO) - If defense contractor BAE Systems has its way, within five years the entire British military will disappear. The soldiers and their equipment won't go away, the enemy will be unable to see them.

The defense company that employees 100,000 employees around the world, provides systems and services for air, land and naval forces.

IF AMERICANS KNEW: Standing Up for Helen Thomas

We Think it’s Important to Stand by Helen Thomas; We also think this is an opportunity to reach Americans whose curiosity is now piqued by all the controversy.

(EL CERRITO, Calif.) - Veteran journalist Helen Thomas is under attack again. The ADL took away her job; now it wants to take away her honorary degrees. Let’s turn the tables on them!

ADL Director Abe Foxman recently called the 90-year old former senior White House correspondent a “vulgar anti-Semite,” referred to her comments as “crude,” and called on schools and professional organizations that have honored Thomas over the years to rescind those honors.

Nothing Short of FULL LIBERATION of Palestine is Acceptable!

Israel's carte blanche for bullies and aggressors to do what they like, steal, kill, colonize, rape, oppress, torture...

(LONDON) - In this essay I would reflect on why as an exiled Palestinian, I do not believe that putting an end to zionism is an ideal solution to the Palestinian problem.

Supporting "equal rights", supporting “one person, one vote”, constitutes support for the occupiers' illegitimate privilege to impose their presence in a land they conquered by war and terrorism, looted and destroyed, holding on the estate of -survivors forced into exiled -“absentees”.

Chabad Kids Commit to Massive Battle

"This is not for one school- this is for all the schools around the world! On our mission report it shows that 26 SCHOOLS have already joined!"

(CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn) - Last week, Lubavitcher schools worldwide began enrolling in the all-new Chayolei Tzivos Hashem, responding to a massive campaign roll-out.

The elite brigade, exclusively for Lubavitcher children, marks a revolutionary new phase in the Rebbe’s vision for soldiers in Hashem’s army.

Things the BBC Forgot to Ask Jody McIntyre

Brown’s tour de force would have been even more awe-inspiring had he not left out several important questions.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - BBC anchor Ben Brown has proven himself an ace investigative reporter, revealing during an interview with disabled victim of British police violence Jody McIntyre that the latter has not yet launched an official complaint with the police—despite the fact that the incident occurred several days ago!

Thus, McIntyre’s brutal treatment must be a fabrication, even though it is recorded in video footage shown on the BBC.

Prince William Writes Personal Christmas Message for Street Papers

Homelessness is an issue close to the Prince's heart.

(VICTORIA, B.C.) - PRINCE William has paid a personal and emotional Christmas tribute to those who he calls the "restorers of hope," who care for the welfare of homeless people around the world.

Writing exclusively for an estimated five million readers of 'street' newspapers and magazines - that's those sold by homeless street vendors - the Prince says his thoughts are with everyone who finds themselves without a roof over their head.

Fables of the Great Irish Famine

The terrorist and the policeman both come from the same basket. Revolution, legality—counter-moves in the same game; forms of idleness at bottom identical - Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

(SALEM, Ore.) - A spin through Wikipedia under the search term 'Irish Potato Famine' leads to a page that describes a heartbreaking historic event; a potato disease that ravaged Ireland killing a million people, as million fled to places like the USA as starving refugees

Mother nature can deal man a hard blow; recent tragedies that spun out of control have clearly illustrated this; but they are very different from the Irish famine.

Gilad Atzmon and The Orient House Ensemble

It is a full decade since the Israeli alto saxophonist Gilad Atzmon established his quartet the Orient House Ensemble.

(LONDON) - His close musical confrere Robert Wyatt has called him "a seriously funny writer and the wittiest musician since Ronnie Scott".

Atzmon maintains a deep empathy and uncompromising support for the Palestinian people, to whom he dedicates his performances and for whom he constantly campaigns and fundraisers.

Gilad Atzmon: More Than Just a Musician

(LONDON) - Few students currently at University of London will remember Gilad Atzmon’s gig at SOAS in 2006.

His performance was exemplary, as all of his live performances are. Four years later, Atzmon is still gigging, still writing and still pushing the boundaries of thought and expression.
