Israel’s Doomsday E-1 Settlement. Diabolical Encroachment to Prospective Palestinian State By Nicola Nasser

Not under Ottoman rule or the British Mandate (‘1946’); not under the abortive and downright bizarre UN partition plan (‘1947’); definitely not under Jordanian and Egyptian rule (‘1967’); and absolutely not under Israeli occupation (‘2010’). Furthermore, the graphic is… Continue reading

Israel’s Holy War: Triggering the Palestinian Exodus? By Julie Lévesque
Far from divine guidance, however, the intentions underlying the pillars of cloud and fire Israel violently dropped on the small and densely populated territory had quite a nefarious objective: Exodus and the chasing of Palestinians out of the “Holy Land”.

Israeli Terror: The “Final Solution” to the Palestine Question By Prof. James Petras
For the past forty-five years the state of Israel has been dispossessing millions of Palestinians living in the Occupied Territories, confiscating their lands, destroying homes, bulldozing orchards and setting-up ‘Jews-only’ colonial settlements serviced by highways, electrical systems and water works for the exclusive use of the settlers and occupying soldiers.

Mark Regev, Israel’s chief propagandist, seemingly has a place reserved for him near the top of BBC news bulletins. In 2010, when I pointed this out to Fran Unsworth, now elevated to director of news, she strongly objected to the description of Regev as a propagandist, adding, “It’s not our job to go out and… Continue reading
