Stephen Lendman: Netanyahu Mocks Legitimate Governance
Netanyahu calls terrorism. His notion of peace is none at all. His idea of truth is avoid it. His governing style is hardline. His type security is naked aggression. Palestine’s liberation has miles to go. It’s well worth struggling for.

The fine print of Palestinian statehood

Israel’s largest newspaper, Yedioth Aharonot, claimed “diplomatic sources said both London and Paris were considering the unprecedented step of recalling their ambassadors to Tel Aviv.
Stuart Littlewood: The game is up for Israel’s pimps and hirelings

Are Israel’s Jews, some of them, on their way to becoming Nazis?
Zionist Jews is seeking to dehumanize the Palestinians in the same way the Nazis sought to dehumanize Jews in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Zionism is to modern enlightened Judaism what Nazism was to Germany’s traditional ethical values.

In bombing Gaza, then, Israel was not striking the territory of another state.

UN Vote on Palestine: Israel Suffered a Humiliating Defeat
Palestine fully qualifies on all counts. It did so many years ago. It long ago should have become a full de jure UN member. PA leaders must explain why not. Why not now? Why partial, not full status?
Freedom, Not Handouts, Will Save Palestine
A free Palestine has so much to offer. Agricultural industry, tourism industry, cultural and arts and very rich natural resources, but none of these can be economically developed as long as Israel maintains a 10-meter-high separation wall and hundreds of military checkpoints within Palestinian lands, and as long as Israel continues to control the borders, effectively blocking the entire Muslim world from visiting and frequently turning away Christians – and even Jews – from its borders.
America at United Nations: An Act of Infamy
Time for this leadership and community to let go, let go of its chock on America’s conscious and freedom, and let America be free again.

The quest for peace based on the co-existence between Israel and Palestine has taken a big step forwards. Unity between the Palestinians should be the next. US support for the actual creation of the State of Palestine should come soon after.

Sixty-five years after the United Nations declared its creation, Palestine has achieved the world body’s recognition it long deserves. It has been a long and arduous way. Yet, finally, Palestine has returned home.
November 29, 1947 – November 29, 2012 Palestine’s Infant Step to Statehood
November 29, 2012 will live forever in posterity and in perpetuity as the day where the world’s beloved people, the occupied but never defeated, never surrendering Palestinians will take the first step to the international legitimacy of a nation, a people, who have been victimized by the west and a heartless, racist, and murderous rogue state, Israel, and a world paralyzed by American hegemony, domination and fear.
Israel’s War on Palestinian Children
Why did the IDF kill and injure so many Palestinian Children during this bombing run? Seventy-five percent of the population of Gaza is under 25. This means that if the IDF attacks civilians, it is more likely to kill or maim children than adults.
Gaza Fishermen Shot at and Arrested
We should not fool ourselves by believing that the conditions of the latest ceasefire between Hamas and the IDF are being honoured by the IDF (excuse the word ‘honoured’ here).
Stevie Wonder to sing for Friends of The IDF [Updated]

Brayer: The Absolute Right of Palestinian Resistance
Despite their rights de iure as well as de facto and their legitimate resistance and struggle and the use of weapons that do not come up to the minimum standards of a modern army, it is only the victimized people of the world who understand their plight together with those coming from the West who are termed radicals. At this juncture in history the people have no power, but it behooves us to continue the struggle for freedom and justice in any way we can, without destroying the planet, as our friends the capitalists are doing.
