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?

Israel Again and Again Slaps a Cowardly America

by Mohamed Khodr June 1, 2011

And so continues the illegal occupations of America and Palestine. No, America, you are not the land of the free, home of the brave. You are not the greatest nation on earth. You are not the superpower you proclaim. You are not the beacon of freedom, equality, and liberty to all. You are not the Promised Land. You are not the democracy of the First Amendment where there is Freedom of Speech, of the Press, of Religion, of freedom to petition and assemble. Your President is not the leader of the free world. You do not have a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. Thus, what will history record of whom and what you are?

STL-PSC Flash Mob: Boycott Israeli Apartheid in Palestine! (YouTube Censors the Video)

by Haitham Sabbah December 25, 2010

I’ve lived in the West Bank for a few years and visited several times, and every time I go back, with every airport interrogation or checkpoint I get stopped at, I feel only a sliver of the degradation of what the Palestinians permanently living there have to go through. It was also important for us to show that there are ways to non-violently resist that occupation. Plus, I like to sing and dance!

And what will Santa bring the kiddies of Gaza?

by Stuart Littlewood December 9, 2010

So what sort of Christmas is in store for their little ones this year while the criminals who inflicted such savagery and torment, and continue to deny them their human rights, have their snouts in the Yuletide trough and enjoy a warm bed?
The UN says that imports are only at 36 per cent of pre-siege levels, thanks to Cameron’s friends, and exports are still not allowed (except a few strawberries), so the hardship must still be unimaginable.

Is Julian Assange Europe’s Nelson Mandela?

by Christopher King December 8, 2010

Sweden’s false charges against Mr Assange are not the first time that country has collaborated with aggressors. When the Nazis wanted to seize Norway’s heavy water production plant for their nuclear research, Sweden announced that it was neutral and allowed the Germans to roll straight through the country to Norway. Just ask the Norwegians at the present time about their opinion of Sweden. Those were the days when Britain fought armed aggression rather than supported it.

Jeff Gates – Christmas Day Crotch Bomber Tied to Israel, FBI

by Jeff Gates February 7, 2010

By Jeff Gates* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz The Christmas Day “terrorist” is the latest in a series of staged incidents meant to make The Clash of Civilizations appear plausible and “the war on terrorism” rational. The storyline does not hold together. Not even a little bit. As usual, the source of this media-fueled fear [...]

Christopher Dickey (Newsweek): What Would Jesus Do in Gaza?

by SR Editor December 25, 2009

Obama talks about love while justifying wars, but in the Middle East, neither works. By Christopher Dickey (Newsweek Web Exclusive) | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz Maybe it seems beside the point, even on the eve of Christmas, to ask ourselves what would Jesus do in the Holy Land today. The narrow confines of Gaza, Jerusalem, [...]

Reject the Christmas Style of a War Criminal President Who Said “Jesus Is My Lord”

by SR Editor December 25, 2009

By Jay Janson* | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz Apparently, President Obama as so many U.S. presidents before him, has no fear of God as he holds the teaching of Jesus impractical, not worth implementing, and certainly not possible for him to follow as U.S. President. Obama stressed this as he preached the necessity of wars, [...]
