‘We are waiting for war’: Lebanese say Israel has gone too far

What the latest secret government file tells us about UK Middle East policy
By Mark Curtis: The British government is refusing to release a 1941 file on Palestine, as it might “undermine the security” of Britain and its citizens. Why would a 78-year-old document be seen as so sensitive in 2019? Continue reading

REVIEW: Israel, a Beachhead… By Philip Roddis
This book is a timely response to three groups: Those yet to grasp that Israel in its current form is an outrage comparable to apartheid South Africa; Those who recognise this truth but fail (as had many sincere opponents of apartheid) to see the bigger picture of a Faustian bargain with Western elites; Those who… Continue reading

Let’s be honest about Britain’s obsession with “anti-Semitism” By Tony Greenstein
Cries of “anti-Semitism” are the charges every supporter of the Palestinians has to face. I doubt that there is a single Palestine solidarity activist who hasn’t been accused of anti-Semitism. The rationale for these accusations include the suggestion that we are operating “double standards” in singling out Israel for criticism. We are alleged to criticize… Continue reading

The Trump ‘Deal’: An Ultimatum and a Setup By Elias Samo
The deal doesn’t offer the Palestinians many concessions. Their basic and minimum demands for a peaceful resolution of the Palestinian problem are not met. It is an ultimatum to surrender and accept whatever Netanyahu dictates Continue reading

Stripped of Their Rights: Understanding the Gaza Strip By Rima Najjar
Many wonder why Israel continues to persecute the Palestinians in Gaza with such brutal repression. The answer is simple; Palestinians in Gaza pose a demographic and, indeed, an existential threat to the Jewish state, which created the inferno that is Gaza today in order “to exist” as such. Continue reading

Israel’s War Criminals in Their Own Words By Philip Giraldi
Israel’s public face, sustained and propagated by a wealthy and powerful diaspora that has significant control over the media, insists that the country is the Middle East’s only true democracy, that is operates under a rule of law for all its citizens and that its army is the “most moral in the world.” All of… Continue reading

The Zionist Idea Has Never Been More Terrifying than It Is Today By Rima Najjar
Whether you believe the American rabbi and historian Arthur Hertzberg’s assessment of the Zionist idea as “unprecedented … an essential dialogue between the Jew and the nations of the earth”, rather than a matter between Jews and God, or you believe the assessment of Ass’ad Razzouk, researcher and contributor to the PLO Research Center’s 1970 Arabic… Continue reading

Why the United States has a special relationship with Israel. It’s not the Israeli lobby By Stephen Gowans
In his book A World Without Islam, former Kabul CIA station chief, Graham E. Fuller, argues that the 9/11 and other attacks on the United States by aggrieved Muslims would have occurred even in a world without Islam, because the attacks were a reaction against US imperialism, and were not a product of the attackers’… Continue reading

THE WEAPONIZING OF ANTI-SEMITISM AGAINST THE LEFT
Israeli sponsored Zionism excels in political white noise. Every-time the State of Israel engages in an atrocity or is being accused of an atrocity, the anti-Semitic volume control is turned up to drown out what is happening. When the brave Palestinians in Gaza decided to rattle their cage to draw the world’s attention to their… Continue reading

UK Conservatives’ rampant Islamophobia and racism covered up by party tops, downplayed by media By Margot Miller

Anti-Semitism and “The Israel Project” By Askiah Adam
Israel is off-limits. The criminalisation of anti-Semitism means nothing short of this. In fact, France’s President Macron says anti-Zionism is a form of anti-Semitism and both are now legally defined as “hate crimes”. Will this be a global precursor? Will the world uphold such a sweeping, broad legal definition that has the potential to embrace… Continue reading

MSM Blackout: Colluding in war crimes: Britain’s unreported military alliance with Israel
It is now sadly a fact that more children than Palestinian fighters are being killed in the offensive on Gaza by the state of Israel.

‘Strategic Threat’ To Israel – Progressives Lose Fear Of Speaking Out On Palestine By Moon of Alabama
Two weeks ago the Zionist lobby targeted civil rights activist Angela Davis for her support of the Boycott-Divestment-Sanctions movement (BDS).
