A Memo to Palestine Solidarity Movement: Join the Global War for combating Antisemitism

(LONDON) - Some of our supporters, being at the helm of social progress, are determined to lead our Palestinian Liberation Movement away from racism, fascism and antisemitism, and to protect it from becoming a hub for ugly racist antisemites.

They work tirelessly to prevent the movement from falling prey to the monster of Jew-hatred; a crime most heinous, a sin most grave and the most abhorrent atrocity humanity has ever committed.

The Most Contaminated Land in the Middle East

Seemingly it took 2000 years for the Jews to come back to their so-called ‘promised land’ but just a few years to pollute the rivers and contaminate the land.

From Nightmares to Revelations

To proclaim a nation civilized, advanced, democratic, and assured means it must possess inner trust, so that what the nation proclaims to be, truly exists and can stand examination by others.

(LAVERNE, CA) - Dreams have in centuries past been understood to reveal truths about the conscious world that provide deeper insight into our day to day lives than what we discern when awake.

Similar insight can come through the arts whether in the form of novels, short stories, films or plays.

In Praise of Superland

Leave Superland alone, its executives actually deserve our gratitude: they showed Israelis what they really look like, not in a distorted luna-parks mirror but as a true reflection of reality.

(TEL AVIV Ha'aretz) - What do they want from Superland's management? It's just a playground, which has suddenly turned out to be a true reflection of society. Superland has dared to be a Mini-Israel as well.

If so, what's the fuss? That its executives acted the same way as everyone else? Behaved in the same way as the state?

From the Trojan Horse to the Golden Calf - the Power of Deceit

It has become necessary for Israel and the US to find yet another deception to continue the “cleansing” of Palestinians...

Lifting the Veil

(WASHINGTON DC) - The trial of military whistleblower Bradley Manning has refocused attention on the revelations about U.S. foreign policy his actions produced.

Netanyahu and `Acts of Hooliganism`

Since 2000, at least 8,000 Palestinian children have been arrested by the IDF. Have they, and all Palestinians, not also been ‘exposed to terrorist attacks and developed post-traumatic symptoms’?

(WASHINGTON DC) - One knows things are bad in Palestine when even Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, known for his brutal heavy-handiness against the Palestinians, has to decry what he calls ‘acts of hooliganism’ against them.

These behaviors, known as price-tag attacks, are committed against Palestinians and Israeli security forces by Jewish youth living in violation of international law in Israeli settlements on Palestinian land.
