Haneen Maikey and Jason Ritchie, “Israel, Palestine, and Queers”
If we are to believe Kirchick, there are no queer Palestinians: they’ve all been murdered by Palestinian ‘Islamofascists,’ and the ‘lucky few’ who survived have fled to gay-friendly Israel. In fact, there is a vibrant, organized community of queer Palestinians who are working hard to create a just, democratic Palestinian society that respects the dignity… Continue reading

Video: Is Zionism Racism? UK Ambassador gets grilled on the walkout
It is an incredibly important excerpt of a document on the nature of what the journalist clearly recognises as a “stunt” and the Ambassador insists upon calling a “protest”, falling all over his own rhetoric in the process. Continue reading

Iqbal Tamimi – Gaza artists deliver hope out of the womb of destruction
No colours were left in Gaza, no canvas or building material since the tools of arts are like food and medicine and were subjected to the cruel Israeli siege. But Gaza’s artists will never give up, they used destroyed oxygen cylinders, parts of what is left of a bed, remains of destroyed ambulances that were… Continue reading

Gilad Atzmon – Ahmadinejad: “Read My Lips”
What we saw yesterday at the UN Anti Racism Forum was crude collective institutional Islamophobic racism in its making, a coordinated show of rabid western chauvinism. A bunch of European diplomats behaving as a herd of sheep, exhibiting complete denial of the notion of freedom of speech and the culture of debate. Continue reading

Full Text of President Ahmadinejad’s Remarks at U.N. Conference on Racism By Jeremy R. Hammond
Dear friends, today the human community is facing a kind of racism which has tarnished the image of humanity in the beginning of the third millennium.

The Arab World and Israel’s Nuclear Arsenal WRITTEN BY Khalid Amayreh in Occupied East Jerusalem
It was Israel that introduced nuclear weapons into the Middle East more than four decades ago, with the knowledge and acquiescence of western powers. The CIA first concluded that Israel had begun to produce nuclear weapons in 1968, but few details emerged until 1986 when Mordechai Vanunu, a former technician at the Dimona nuclear facility,… Continue reading

The most moral army in the world. Fact By Yitzhak Laor
Israel’s denial [or torture] was adamant. No Israeli newspaper addressed the accusations directly. Our ambassador in London said the morality of the prophets does not permit torture, and therefore these charges were baseless. Continue reading

George Galloway writes to the Charity Commission
I have become increasingly concerned about the abuse of your powers displayed in your brazenly obvious political double standards.

Dima Omar – So what did we learn about anti-Semitism?
So why did the Oxford Literary Festival invite Atzmon? After all, he’s the “proud self-hating Jew” who wonders how America has allowed its foreign policies to be shaped by “ruthless Zionists”. He’s the one who insists that the burning of synagogues is illegitimate, yet he believes the motivations behind such actions are political rather than… Continue reading

Palestine: Shooting and Crying – Nothing New Since 1948 … Or is it? Anis Hamadeh
