“Israel has never been so ugly”

by Alan Hart December 18, 2011

If the Gentile me or any non-Jewish critic of Israel had written such things, I and they would have been smeared by Zionism’s propaganda machine as a rabid Jew hater.

Israel decries Arab democracy

by Khalid Amayreh December 18, 2011

Israel’s worst fears regarding its relationship with the Arab world — and with Egypt in particular — are coming true before our eyes. The rise of the Islamists in Egypt means the end of the peace treaty with Egypt and the rise of a government committed to the ideological Islamist goal of the destruction of Israel.

Israeli media paving the way for an attack on Iran

by SR Editor November 19, 2011

Neve Gordon argues that while the Israeli media frenzy supporting an attack on Iran may be orchestrated to pressure the international community to impose harsher sanctions against Iran, it is nonetheless helping to produce the necessary conditions for a military campaign.

Avnery Reveals: The Return of the Generals

by James M. Wall August 22, 2011

Why, indeed, is Israel bombing Gaza? The Israeli public must be persuaded that Palestinians are not to be trusted. Israel is in danger of losing the September 20 vote for Palestinian statehood in the UN General Assembly.

The forthcoming Gaza flotilla: heroism vs violent intransigence?

by Richard Lightbown June 19, 2011

Richard Lightbown summarizes the situation ahead of the forthcoming Freedom Flotilla II – Stay Human in plain language bereft of the doublespeak that the Israeli government would like us to hear.
No Nobel Peace Laureate will be able to disguise the guilt if more Israeli hoods batter more human rights workers. No selectively edited whitewash report, with of without endorsement from professors of international law, will be able to conceal the truth this time from the people of the world.

Netanyahu’s War on Gaza

by Stephen Lendman June 1, 2011

The Israeli propaganda machine has reached new highs distributing false information. It embarrassed itself by entering a futile public relations battle….There is nothing to explain, certainly not to a world that will never buy its web of explanations, lies and tactics.

Wikileaks shocker: Did Abbas know in advance about the devastating blitz on his countrymen in Gaza?

by Stuart Littlewood December 4, 2010

“I am surprised to read the Wikileaks revelation that Mr Abbas, along with Mr Mubarak, was informed of Operation Cast lead in advance. I don’t recall his issuing a public warning to the unfortunate people of Gaza or appealing to the UN and western powers to intervene. Why would a Palestinian president keep quiet about an evil and horrendous war-crime he knew was about to be committed against his own people? Can you please throw any light on the matter?”

What, really, is the Obama-Clinton game plan for Israel/Palestine?

by Alan Hart November 16, 2010

On the face of it the package of “incentives” Secretary of State Clinton offered Prime Minister Netanyahu to persuade him to buy and sell to his coalition government a one-time-only freeze of 90 days on settlement construction in the occupied West Bank could be summed up with one “c” word – criminal.

Criminal because by excluding occupied Arab East Jerusalem from the desired freeze, the Obama administration is not only going back on its own previous demands which were in accord with international law and various UN Security Council resolutions. It is effectively endorsing Israel’s illegal settlement activities there. Simply stated the U.S. is now openly complicit in Israel’s defiance of international law.

Britain hangs out ‘welcome’ sign to war criminals

by Stuart Littlewood October 19, 2010

The UK is to become a safe haven for Israeli psychopaths while they continue their brutal military occupation, colonization and ethnic cleansing of the Holy Land, and carry on bombarding blockaded Gaza and executing or abducting anyone bringing humanitarian help. That’s the British government’s latest contribution of Middle East peace.

Israel’s New Loyalty Oath

by Stephen Lendman October 12, 2010

Israel’s direction mirror’s 1930s Germany, especially under a Netanyahu/Lieberman/Shas coalition and most extremist ever Knesset, flouting democratic freedoms one law or edict at a time. Lieberman and other extremists called the new measure a first step to loyalty legislation they want enacted as well as other anti-democratic laws to be considered in the Knesset’s winter session. A forthcoming article addresses them.

Israel’s other “peace” plan: arm-twisting Obama

by Jonathan Cook October 12, 2010

The Palestinians and Israelis concentrated on the blame game, thereby highlighting the fact that both think the talks are doomed. The Camp David talks lasted two weeks before collapsing; these negotiations have been on life support since they began more than a month ago. The Israeli government was given the choice between peace and settlements, and it has chosen settlements. Rather than investing wasted energy in doomed talks, the two sides appear to be adopting the same alternative strategy: cutting a deal directly with Washington that circumvents the other party.

Obama’s cave-in to Israel: letter suggests US not honest broker

by Jonathan Cook October 6, 2010

According to the leak, Obama made a series of extraordinarily generous offers to Israel, many of them at the expense of the Palestinians, in return for a single minor concession from Netanyahu: a two-month extension of the partial freeze on settlement growth. The White House has denied that a letter was sent, but, according to the Israeli media, officials in Washington are privately incensed by Netanyahu’s rejection. According to Makovsky, in return for the 60-day settlement moratorium, the US promised to veto any UN Security Council proposal on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict over the next year, and committed to not seek any further extensions of the freeze.
