Children of Gaza [Video]
A moving, must-see video that first aired on Channel 4 (UK)’s Dispatches on 15 March. BAFTA-winning filmmaker Jezza Neumann follows the lives of three children for over a year. The children are amazing: well-spoken, reflective, resilient, understandably vengeful and fearful, but very endearing. The toll this inhumanity has taken is also clear.
Heckuva Job, AIPAC
By MJ Rosenberg | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz I know what former President Bush would say if he had to comment on the results of AIPAC’s conference this week. He would turn to Howard Kohr, its long time director, and say “heckuva job, Howie.” AIPAC supposedly exists to promote US-Israel relations or, more precisely, to [...]
The Crisis That Wasn’t
By Philip Giraldi | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz It might have seemed a no-brainer that the vital security interests of the United States would eventually trump the demands of a small client state that lately has not been much given to rational behavior.

Against ‘Pro-Israel’
By Robert Wright* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz Are you anti-Israel? If you fear that, deep down, you might be, I have important news.

By Noura Erakat* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz Recurring Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu met with President Obama in Washington this week and, without flinching, attributed the stalled peace process to the U.S. Administration’s concern with illegal settlements and not to Israel’s violation of the peace process’s terms, which unequivocally mandate the cessation of settlement [...]

Americans – Are you with Gen. Petraeus and Adm. Mullen or with Israel ?
By Debbie Menon* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz AIPAC (American-Israeli Public Affairs Committee) and its cohorts have manufactured a broad level of support among the American public, but it is based on a mix of indifference, ignorance and low-level indoctrination, and is therefore extremely soft.

Israeli Apartheid and The Nakba [Video]

Anti-Semitism – What is it?
By Jeff Gates* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz Several of us among the incurably curious asked ourselves a simple question: what is anti-Semitism?
