Of Exclusivity, Loyalty and Liberation of Palestine

Jewish-Only Organizations . . . A Closer Look...

(LONDON) - Due to recent events of alienation and/or expulsion of members of Palestine Solidarity Movement, including Palestinians, it became more and more evident that there are elements in the movement who continue to stir up friction and splits amongst activists.

These lead to alienation of many genuine activists and even exiled Palestinians.

I am sick of...

I am sick of... 63 years of Nakba.

(BETHLEHEM) - The end of the world is Dec 21, 2012 according to the Mayan Calendar being the year 5125.

I do not know about that but I do know that the window of opportunity to end the world of privilege and chosenness is quickly closing and we must have enough people involved in speaking truth to power and finally removing this power from the elites.

A mistaken case for Syrian regime change

"War with Iran is already here," wrote a leading Israeli commentator recently, describing "the combination of covert warfare and international pressure" being applied to Iran.

(ROME) - Although not mentioned, the "strategic prize" of the first stage of this war on Iran is Syria; the first campaign in a much wider sectarian power-bid.

"Other than the collapse of the Islamic Republic itself," Saudi King Abdullah was reported to have said last summer, "nothing would weaken Iran more than losing Syria."

New Video `Moments Of Gaza` Offers a Different Look at Isolated, Coastal Palestine

New video by Fox Designs in Gaza introduces a real vision of an embattled region where some people still smile.

(SALEM) - I suspect Gaza holds the world's record for the society most misportrayed, misconstrued, and subjected to propaganda.

This battered and war-torn population has the entire Israeli hasbara 'reeducation' program pointing their fingers in unison and breathing down their necks, chanting "terrorist" when describing ordinary human beings.

Threats of Lawsuits and Remembering Nakba

As Israel's government stands accused of war crimes on several fronts, an Israeli law firm attempts legal action against an American writer.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - On the second day of 2012, I received my second threat of a legal action in an email with a letter attachment “regarding a libelous publication on wearewideawake.org” from a law firm in Tel Aviv.

My first threat of a lawsuit came on 5 February 2008, in an email from Walid Shoebat’s manager demanding I apologize and recant what I reported...

Secret paper reveals EU broadside over plight of Israel`s Arabs

Memo seen by The Independent highlights tensions between Tel Aviv and Europe.

(DUBLIN) - A growing gulf between Israel's Jewish and Arab communities is highlighted in a critical EU paper which breaks new ground by suggesting that the international community has a role in ensuring "genuinely equal treatment" for the country's Arab minority.

The confidential 27-page draft prepared by European diplomats and seen by The Independent charts a wide range of indicators showing that Israeli Arabs suffer "economic disparities..."

To be consequent as an Internationalist New Year 2012

Internationalism is an endless struggle, an endless challenge.

(MANHATTAN, N.Y.) - What is internationalism?—cooperation among people and nations, states my dictionary. The book of definitions maintains that internationalism is a principle of communism and socialism. It is the belief of ideological leaders such as Lenin, Fidel and Che.

Che wrote in his essay, “Socialism and Man”, that proletarian internationalism isn’t just a duty but a necessity.

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...

Will 2012 Bring Tribal War to Libya?

These days in Libya it is a good idea to memorize the name of the largest of the local militia and the name of its leader so when approached by the heavily armed unfriendly types...

(TRIPOLI) - The weather in Tripoli this New Year’s weekend is unseasonably bone chilling with heavy rains flooding the streets reminding this observer more of dreary London this time of year than the southern Maghreb coast of the Mediterranean.

My modest family run neighborhood hotel off Omar Muktar Street is clean and cheap, but my room has no heat except what eventually builds up under a stack of velour Turkish blankets.

How Israel helped Islamist movements to flourish across the Middle East

Examining Israel’s role in the growth of Islamist movements in the Middle East – Hamas, Hizbollah, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Shi’i theocracy.

(TEL AVIV Redress) - If Islamist movements come to power all over the region, they should express their debt of gratitude to their bete noire, Israel.

Without the active or passive help of successive Israeli governments, they may not have been able to realize their dreams.
