The Palestinian Prisoners' Plight
By, Bianca Zammit* and Fadi Skaik** | Sabbah Report | www.sabbah.biz
There are currently approximately 11,000 Palestinian prisoners being held captive in Israeli jails across Israel. Whilst their imprisonment is of itself in direct contravention of international law, the whole arrest, judiciary and imprisonment process compromises their basic human rights. In Gaza, the families of prisoners [...]
Alan Hart – How Zionist lobby stooges in Congress brought shame to their institution
By Alan Hart *
As expected, the U.S. House of Representatives voted, on Tuesday 3 November, by 344 votes to 36, to urge the Obama administration to oppose endorsement of the Goldstone Report.

Max Kantar – Robert Bernstein: Human Shield for Criticism of Israel
By Max Kantar *
Earlier this week the New York Times published an op-ed article, 'Rights Watchdog, Lost in the Mideast' written by Robert L. Bernstein, the founding chairman emeritus of Human Rights Watch.
The editorial amounts to one regurgitation of Israeli propaganda after another in an effort to delegitimize mainstream criticism of Israeli policies in the [...]

By Philip Weiss
Two listservs to which I have access have been circulating a commentary by Richard Falk, the Princeton law professor and UN rapporteur on Gaza, on the Goldstone report to the UN Human Rights Council. People I trust say that Falk, who by the way is Jewish (as is Goldstone), wrote this, and they [...]

Alan Sabrosky – The First Step: Israel Into The Dock
By Dr. Alan Sabrosky *
The UN Human Rights Council (HRC) Resolution based on the Goldstone Report is a damning condemnation of Israel. The original meaning of being "caught red-handed" was literally being "caught bloody-handed," with the victim's blood on one's own hands. In Gaza, Israel has been caught red-handed in that literal sense, and for [...]
From Tutu to Goldstone
By Haitham Manna'
Translated from Arabic by Saja
On September 2008 South African Bishop Desmond Tutu's fact-finding delegation submitted to the Human Rights Council its latest report on the Israeli shelling of Beit Hanoun in the Gaza Strip in 2006, which led to the death of nineteen civilians. At a press conference in Geneva, Tutu denounced [...]
Israeli anger over Turkish TV show
Avigdor Lieberman, Israel's foreign minister, has ordered officials to summon Turkey's ambassador in Israel and lodge a protest over a Turkish television series that Israel says portrays its soldiers murdering Palestinian children.
