Israeli Occupation Archive: Communal Groups Mobilize Against ‘Delegitimizers’ of Jewish State
As always, the organized Jewish Community first tries to label us “anti-Semites” or “Self-Hating Jews,” but this doesn’t work nearly as well these days.

No Such Thing As Israeli Nationality
Israel refused to recognize an Israeli nationality at the country’s establishment in 1948, making an unusual distinction between “citizenship” and “nationality.” Although all Israelis qualify as “citizens of Israel,” the state is defined as belonging to the “Jewish nation,” meaning not only the 5.6 million Israeli Jews but also more than seven million Jews in… Continue reading

Promoting Human Rights: Haiti's Resurrection By Mark Schuller
Today is Easter, an important symbol of rebirth. Christians everywhere rejoice in the victory over death.

Gaza Friends: One last plea before we sail
We are hard at work collecting the cargo… cement, books for children and universities, paper for printing books, water filtration equipment, and medical equipment, all being denied the people of Gaza by Israel’s brutal blockade.
