The Media Propagandists

By Phillip Marlowe | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
You know, when I sit down here and decide to pound out a blog posting, I always start thinking about what kind of image I'll end up using to illustrate what I'm trying to say. I think it's important since it gets people's attention and makes them want [...]

Answers to The State of Palestine Quiz

By Tony Malone* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz

THE GREAT ZIONIST MYTH: The Palestinians never existed before modern Israel was established. They came from other Arab lands to try to take what the Israelis had rightful claims to. "Palestinians" pretend to the world and to themselves that they have always been there, but they are delusional [...]

At NYU, devilish Shlomo Sand predicts the Jewish past and pastes the Zionists

by Philip Weiss
Of all the events I've covered surrounding Jewish identity and Israel in the last year, none has given me so much pleasure as the lecture last night by Shlomo Sand at NYU on the Invention of the Jewish People. Most events I go to are grinding, awful, heartrending, often with lamentations and [...]

We shall overcom

By Mazin Qumsiyeh*
Netanyahu looked old, tired, and angry as he delivered his "speech" in front of the Knesset. He had nothing new to say so he regurgitated the old myths about protecting Israelis from being charged with war crimes, lectured his audience (who also looked tired and bored) that the Goldstone report was a [...]

Does Israel Really Have a Right to Exist?

by Susan Abulhawa*
Following Netanyahu's much anticipated policy speech, politicians and journalists, like mindless automatons, have set about repeating Israel's tired mantra that Palestinians should recognize Israel's right to exist. Never mind the fact that the PLO and Palestine Authority have obliged this ludicrous call, not once, but four times. And never mind that Israel has [...]

A couple of days ago, the Israeli Ministry of Tourism apologized for featuring a map of Israel that included all Palestinian Occupied Territories as well as Syria's Golan Heights as integral part of Israel.

Israel's tourist ministry has admitted to a "mistake" over adverts on the London Underground after complaints that they "wipe Palestine off the [...]

Holocaust and Holodomor (Origins of Anti Semitism)

By Nicholas Lyssson
1. ROLE OF JEWS IN UKRAINIAN FAMINE
One might think the worst holocaust deniers—at least the only ones who command serious attention—are those who insist the Nazi holocaust, as it involved the Jews only, was without parallel.

Guenter Lewy argues for example in The Nazi Persecution of the Gypsies (Oxford University Press, 2000) that while the [...]

Kfar Kassem massacre – How can an order be given to shoot children?

Today in history is another black day in the Palestinian history.

1. On October 29, 1948, when Israeli brigades captured the village of Safsaf. The known details of the massacre come to us via several contemporary second-hand Zionist reports and via Arab oral history. Yosef Nachmani, a senior officer in the Haganah (and later the director [...]

Jewish Scholar – 'Jewish People' Were Invented

Israeli Bestseller Breaks National Taboo
by Jonathan Cook
