2011 Ends on a Sour Note… Is Hamas Really a Mean-Minded Christmas Scrooge*?

by Stuart Littlewood January 4, 2012

In the past Hamas has shown great respect for the Christian tradition of Christmas and, I hear, Hamas officials in Bethlehem used to dress up as Santa Claus to distribute gifts to Christian children. So the question remains: has Hamas really become such a Scrooge* as to torpedo Christmas with a tree ban?

Happy Christmas, O prisoners of the Little Town of Bethlehem

by Stuart Littlewood December 24, 2011

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight

Britain may be a Christian country but its government marches to the beat of another drum

by Stuart Littlewood December 23, 2011

Stuart Littlewood questions the ethics of British politicians and church leaders who profess a commitment to Christian values but look the other way, actively support or are content to be identified with Israel while it commits crimes against the people of Palestine – Christians and Muslims.

Something’s rotten in the heart Western governments

by Stuart Littlewood December 4, 2011

The American and British publics have been shamefully caught up in more than enough zionist warmongering plots. Iraq, which we subjected to 12 years of cruel sanctions and subsequently bombed back to the Stone Age, killing hundreds of thousands, was never our enemy. Libya was not our enemy. Iran is definitely not our enemy. Nor is Afghanistan; nor Syria; nor Lebanon; nor Palestine; nor Egypt.

Why the West is demonizing Iran

by Stuart Littlewood November 19, 2011

Why are we hearing non-stop, loud-mouthed sabre-rattling against Iran when we should be extending the hand of friendship and reconciliation? Why the West are demonising Iran instead of righting the wrongs? Why not live and let live? Because the political establishment is still smarting. They are the new-generation imperialists.

Playground bullying of Palestine and Iran must stop… Minister listens

by Stuart Littlewood November 15, 2011

Is there a neo-con cell of senior ministers and officials, co-ordinating with Israel and the United States, and keeping their designs hidden from the Conservatives’ coalition partners?

Iran/Israel: Warmongers eager for more blood-letting

by Stuart Littlewood November 8, 2011

Are we expected to believe that Israel’s leaders, given their lawless and belligerent track record, are saner than Iran’s Ahmadinejad? Washington and London may believe such tosh but I doubt if anyone in the Middle East would. Or anyone else in Europe for that matter. A European Commission survey finds that the public believe Israel to be the biggest threat to world peace, greater than North Korea, Afghanistan or Iran.

Balfour’s apartheid legacy

by Stuart Littlewood November 5, 2011

Arthur Balfour’s infamous “Declaration” was written 94 years ago this week. And to mark the anniversary Israel ordered its warships to carry out yet another act of piracy on peaceful, innocent shipping carrying humanitarian relief to the imprisoned people of Gaza.

Israel’s Gilad Shalit got off lightly

by Stuart Littlewood October 25, 2011

Stuart Littlewood views the hypocrisy of Western civic leaders who are falling over one another honouring Gilad Shalit​ for “sitting behind his armour plate picking out soft targets among the women and children packed into the Gaza Strip” while ignoring the vilest crimes committed by Israel against civilians, including children.

Yes, rejoice for precious Shalit. Spare a thought for the 8,000 Palestinian prisoners

by Stuart Littlewood October 19, 2011

I can’t deny that I’m pleased for Gilad Shalit and his parents. On the other hand why is there such a torrent of sympathy for Shalit when the much-hyped thousand-for-one prisoner swop leaves 8,000 Palestinians still rotting in Israeli jails.

Embarrassing Obama in free-fall as gangster morals kill peace process

by Stuart Littlewood September 26, 2011

What ignorance. What an embarrassment. Does anyone out there still look on Obama as leader of the Western world? His speech, so heavily larded with lies, was only surpassed by the rantings of his buddy, Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, a dangerous imbecile whose finger hovers over the only nuclear button in the Middle East. Both were desperately trying to paint the the armed-to-the-teeth bully-boy as the victim.

Israel’s panic-stricken UK fans urge more lopsided negotiations

by Stuart Littlewood September 21, 2011

Note the old trick of emphasising Israel’s security while planting the idea that Palestine must make do with a barely “viable” existence. You never hear these jokers talk about a secure Palestine and a viable Israel.
