Israeli Anti-Freedom Flotilla II Propaganda

by Stephen Lendman June 29, 2011

According to an unnamed defense official, “The picture emerging here is that some of the flotilla participants clearly intend a violent clash,” when, in fact, he knows this is a bald faced lie, an Israeli specialty, regurgitated by major media flacks, while suppressing Israel’s intention either to block or confiscate vessels it interdicts and all passenger possessions as it did against Flotilla I.

“After you Brother!” Qadaffi stays and Obama leaves?

by Franklin Lamb June 28, 2011

Gaddafi has survived assaults of various types from US Presidents’ Ford, Carter, Reagan, George Bush 1, Clinton, George Bush 2, and Obama. Vegas book makers are giving odds he’ll be the leader of Libya’s Fatah Revolution after the voters retire Obama, whose broken promises included telling them that the US would be involved in Libya for days, not months.

Alice Walker: Why I’m sailing to Gaza

by SR Editor June 28, 2011

It is justice and respect that I want the world to dust off and put – without delay, and with tenderness – back on the head of the Palestinian child. It will be imperfect justice and respect because the injustice and disrespect have been so severe. But I believe we are right to try.

Netanyahu Owns the US Congress; Soon We Will Know if He Also Owns Gaza and the UN

by James M. Wall June 27, 2011

We need look no further than the politics of the state of Israel to see what extremist religion can do with power. The Tea Party in the US, which will determine the winner of the presidential Republican nominating process, is ready to show the world that God wants a final say in US political decision-making.

Breaching Gaza’s Siege

by Stephen Lendman June 27, 2011

Israel is a rogue terror state. Activists know the risks. They’re coming anyway and will keep coming, no matter what Israel plans.

Message to American Jews: ‘Support peace, true peace’ [Video]

by Haitham Sabbah June 27, 2011

“May your village burn.” “Death to leftists.” “Slaughter the Arabs.” This is what Israelis sang on Jerusalem Day, to the horror of many including Hagit Borer, an Israeli Jewish American, born in Israel, when Jerusalem was a very different place.

Getting on board with peace in Israel

by SR Editor June 27, 2011

It is a different Jerusalem now. It is not their Jerusalem, for it has been taken from them. Every day the Palestinians of Jerusalem are further strangled by more incursions, by more “housing developments” to cut them off from other Palestinians. This is not my Jerusalem. The tens of thousands of jeering youths that swarmed through its streets on Jerusalem Day have taken the city from me as well.

Of course the Flotilla is a political provocation

by SR Editor June 26, 2011

The Freedom Flotilla is indeed “a political provocation.” Why shouldn’t it be? And when has it pretended to be anything else?
The Flotilla targets the denial of Palestinian self-determination, not a humanitarian crisis. It aims to break the siege, not only because the siege causes hardship for Palestinians, but also because it obstructs their inherent rights to determine their collective destiny, and that of their historic homeland. The goal is not a reliable flow of international charity, or even a functional economy, but rather Palestinians’ sovereignty over their own coasts and territory.

Message to Congress: Take a Slow Boat to Gaza [Satire]

by Mantiq al-Tayr June 26, 2011

The “Department of State” strongly urges that U.S. citizens refrain from all travel to the Gaza Strip, an area living under such breathtakingly awful conditions thanks to Israel that even Hitler would have objected.

The Death of American Democracy [Video]

by Anthony Lawson June 25, 2011

The collapses of the Twin Towers of the World Trade Centre, on September 11, 2001, were the most frightening images that I have ever seen, up until May 24th, 2011, when Binyamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of the United States Congress and received 29 standing ovations, along with many other outbursts of sycophantic applause.
