Israel and the "de-legitimization" oxymoron

by Alan Hart April 4, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
For readers who may not be intimately familiar with English terminology, an oxymoron is a figure of speech by which contradictory terms are combined to form an expressive phrase or epithet such as cruel kindness and falsely true. (It's derived from the Greek word oxymoros meaning pointedly foolish).

US concern about Israel's illegal settlements is 42 years too late

by Alan Hart March 26, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
That U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had the courage to tell AIPAC's conference that Israel's continued construction of Jewish housing on occupied territory is undermining both the prospect for peace and America's credibility and own best interests was good news. The bad news is that this and [...]

Zionism's dark forces don't want the lights on

by Alan Hart March 22, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
At the opening of AIPAC's annual foreign policy conference its new president, Lee Rosenberg, was not a happy man. As he put it, "In recent days we have witnessed something (the Obama administration's initial public anger with Netanyahu and his government) very unfortunate."
The Biden "incident", [...]

Anti-Semitism: Zionist myth v truth and reality

by Alan Hart March 15, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
There are two definitions of anti-Semitism in its Jewish context. One was born in real history and represents a truth. The other is part and parcel of Zionist mythology and was invented for the purpose of blackmailing non-Jewish Europeans and North Americans into refraining from criticising Israel or, [...]

Two humiliations – Can Obama live with a third?

by Alan Hart March 11, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
Amazing! While in Israel, an American vice president explicitly condemns an Israeli decision to build yet more homes, 1,600 apartments, in occupied Arab East Jerusalem. "I condemn the decision by the government of Israel to advance planning for new housing units in East Jerusalem," [...]

So When Are You Going to Make War on Israel, Mr. Brown?

by Alan Hart March 6, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
There could not be a more graphic illustration of the double-standard that drives Western foreign policy and has prevented a resolution of the Israel-Palestine conflict than Prime Minister Gordon Brown's explanation to the Chilcot Inquiry on why he, when he was Britain's Chancellor of [...]

"Peace or Apartheid" are not the only options for Israel

by Alan Hart March 3, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
The developing debate about Israel's future offers two scenarios but there is a third which, apparently, should not be discussed in the open, in public. So let's do just that.
Among the most recent contributors to what I'll call the two-scenario debate was no less a figure than [...]

Alan Hart – ZIONISM UNMASKED: A fairy tale that's become a terrifying nightmare

by Alan Hart February 11, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
Most Jews of the world (and probably many Gentiles) believe that Zionism is the return of Jews to the land promised to them by God. At the risk of offending some readers of all faiths for saying so, I must confess, and do so cheerfully, that I don't [...]

Please, Mr. President, Stop Talking Nonsense

by Alan Hart February 7, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
At a town hall meeting in Tampa, Florida on 28 January, President Obama explained what in his view had to happen if there is to be a two-state solution which would see Israel and the Palestinians living side by side in peace and security. He said, "Both sides [...]

Blair the British neo-con

by Alan Hart January 31, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
Putting Tony Blair on trial would be much too cruel. The man is ill, delusional, quite possibly to the point of madness. What he needs most of all is psychiatric help. Any doubts I might have had about that diagnosis were removed by his six-hour [...]

Alan Hart – Anti-Israelism: Why Zionism doesn't and can't get it

by Alan Hart January 26, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
There is no doubt it. More and more people all over the world, and probably many of their governments behind closed doors, are beginning to see the Zionist state of Israel for what it really is – not only the obstacle to peace but a monster apparently beyond [...]

Message to Obama and Brown: How about asking WHY?

by Alan Hart January 5, 2010

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
In their refusal to ask the question of why, really, Muslims are being radicalized, President Obama and Prime Minister Brown are no different from their immediate predecessors.

When George "Dubya" Bush and Tony Blair ruled the world and were pressing ahead with their "war on terrorism", I used to [...]

A monster beyond control?

by Alan Hart December 27, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
On the first anniversary of the beginning of Israel's war on the Gaza Strip – in my view it was a demonstration of Israeli state terrorism at its most naked – it's not enough to say that the governments of the Western powers (and others) are complicit in [...]

"Saving Israel" or assisting it to commit suicide?

by Alan Hart December 15, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

I had to struggle with myself to decide which of two headlines was most appropriate for this article – the one above or "The hard core of lunatics are pulling up the drawbridge".
A Jewish friend in Canada drew my attention to an article in the Jewish Ledger, an [...]

Does Israel's ambassador to the U.S. have a point?

by Alan Hart December 9, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

Writing in The Wall Street Journal (which has a preference for Israeli propaganda), Michael B. Oren, Israel's ambassador to the U.S., said that advancing a peace process now depends not on Netanyahu and his government or President Obama but the Palestinians.
Under the headline Israel's Settlement Freeze, the essence [...]

The Choice for Israel – Civil war for peace or the end of Zionism?

by Alan Hart December 5, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

I have been writing about what must happen in America if there is to be more than a snowball's chance in hell of peace on the basis of an acceptable amount of justice for the Palestinians. (The main point I've been making is that unless and until enough [...]

The blood oath

by Alan Hart December 2, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

"Mr. President, will you take a call from Prime Minister Netanyahu in five minutes? He says it's urgent, very urgent."
"Rahm, I can tell from the tone of your voice that you're not asking me a question. You're giving me an order."
Rahm Emanuel smiled.
President Obama did his best to [...]

Alan Hart – Deception has always been the name of Zionism's game

by Alan Hart November 27, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu described his offer to temporarily restrict construction of all-new Jewish settlements on the West Bank excluding Arab East Jerusalem as a "far-reaching and painful step", which was part of a policy he hoped would give a new impetus to peace talks.

President Clinton and now Obama – Who the bleep (actually it was f***) does Netanyahu think he is?

by Alan Hart November 24, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

It's not often that stories about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict make me laugh but one by Jeremy Bowen, the BBC's Middle East editor, did. Because he is the corporation's correspondent supporters of Israel right or wrong most love to hate – from time to time they pressure the BBC [...]

The latest Palestinian strategy – clever or stupid or both?

by Alan Hart November 17, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
There is a case for saying that those leaders of the discredited PNA (Palestine National Authority) who are proposing to unilaterally declare an independent state on the West Bank and Gaza Strip and seek to get UN Security Council backing for it are being clever.

President Obama's opportunity to speak truth to power, Part 2 – Rahm Emanuel does it for him

by Alan Hart November 14, 2009

By Alan Hart* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
When I wrote and posted Part 1 of this article, I was, of course, aware that there wasn't a snowball's chance in hell of President Obama speaking truth to the power of Jewish America as it was represented at the General Assembly of The Jewish Federations of North [...]
