OCCUPATION PALESTINE: Zionism Up Close, Personal And Despicable
If you disagree with the tenets of Zionism or the actions of Israel in the slightest, then you’re an anti-Semite–or in my case, a self-hating Jew. Continue reading

Sami Jamil Jadallah – The Forbidden Debate
I am sure all Palestinians and the Arab world, with the exception of the very few Palestinians who are on the payroll of the PLO know well that the PLO lost any and all of whatever legitimacy it had to begin with 20 years ago. Continue reading

Zionism and the road to Gaza’s killing fields
Zionism was never about religion but a conspiracy to create a gendarme state amongst the ‘unreliable’ indigenous Middle East states and to protect oil interests. Continue reading

The Final Solution is a No-State Solution By William Bowles
One can only come to the conclusion that the destruction of the physical infrastructure of the Gaza Strip, let alone the thousands of dead and injured, is intended to make the place ininhabitable leaving only the West Bank as the putative Palestinian state. Continue reading

Gilad Atzmon: The Wisdom of Edwin Montagu
I deny that Palestine is to-day associated with the Jews or properly to be regarded as a fit place for them to live in. The Ten Commandments were delivered to the Jews on Sinai. It is quite true that Palestine plays a large part in Jewish history, but so it does in modern Mahommendan history,… Continue reading

David Parker: Palestine: the Architecture of Apartheid
According to Weizman, the natural and built features of the landscape function as weapons and ammunition for the conflict. The Occupied Territories have become a series of layers and territories, each manipulated by the Israeli authorities. Borders are porous for Israelis but solid for Palestinians. Checkpoints are a source of humiliation. Continue reading

Ilan Pappe: State of Denial: Israel, 1948-2008
The 1948 war’s diplomatic maneuvers and military campaigns are well engraved in Israeli Jewish historiography. What is missing is the chapter on the ethnic cleansing carried out by the Jews in 1948: 500 Palestinian villages and 11 urban neighborhoods were destroyed, 700,000 Palestinians were expelled from their homes, and several thousands more were massacred. Why… Continue reading

Ilan Pappe: State of Denial: Israel, 1948-2008
As long as the moral lesson is not learned, the state of Israel will continue to exist as a hostile enclave at the heart of the Arab world. It would remain the last reminder of the colonialist past that complicates not only Israel’s relationship with the Palestinians, but with the Arab world as a whole. Continue reading

Khalil Nakhleh – Review of Hatim Kanaaneh’s “A Doctor in Galilee: the life and struggle of a Palestinian in Israel”
This is a rich ethnographic and experiential narrative of local village culture, Hatim’s own village, culture and society. It is documented with immense passion, sensitivity, worry and a high level of personal doubt and torment. Continue reading

Tariq A. Al-Maeena: ‘US supporting Israeli-sponsored terrorism’
Hart expressed his alarm at the absolute lack of veracity of the spin machines of the western media when it came to reporting on Israeli ambitions and atrocities. Continue reading

Yousef Abudayyeh – It Was Never About Borders
The Palestinian-Zionist conflict is not about disputed borders, it’s about the very existence of the indigenous inhabitants of Palestine. The Zionist invaders came to Palestine because according to the Zionists, Palestine was a land with no people and needed to be filled with “people who have no land.” Unless the whole world and especially the Continue reading

Occupation by another name By Ran HaCohen
In the past, peace talks were supposed to lead to a peace agreement, which would in turn lead to peace; now, not even that little is assumed. What the negotiations are expected to yield is at best a ‘shelf agreement’ to be implemented at some vague point in the future, or not. No one believes… Continue reading

Yoav Bar – The Crisis of Zionism (and) a Perspective for Palestinian Approach To the Jewish Community in Palestine | Haifa Conference
The situation in Palestine is very different from that of Europe or the US. Since the beginning of the Zionist colonization of Palestine, some 130 years ago, Jews in Palestine were a small enclave of settler population in the midst of the Arab homeland. Colonialism is not external expansionism of some imaginary ‘western-capitalist Israel’, but… Continue reading

Book Review: Israel and the US – Two nations under one flag? By William Bowles
There is perhaps no better example of the corrosive and divisive nature of racism as a weapon of imperialism than the debate (such as it is) about the power of the (misnamed) ‘Jewish Lobby’ and its relationship to or influence over US imperial strategy. I say misnamed because in reality it should be called the… Continue reading

Woof-Woof! The bite is far worse than the bark By William Bowles
Consider if you will that the US has, for the past 100 years pursued a policy that would enable it to ensure global dominance through the ownership and control of vital energy supplies and as a result enable it to dominate the world’s economy to the benefit of its own capitalist class. This policy has… Continue reading

Strange Attractors: Is the destruction of Lebanon a prelude to a wider conflagration? By William Bowles
Outrage, anger and disbelief seem to be the most common responses to the US/Israeli destruction of Lebanon, understandably given the sheer ferocity of the attack but let us not let it get in the way of trying to figure out why the pirates resorted to such measures that were sure to ignite a wave of… Continue reading
