Alternatives to Partition Palestine: Geopolitical Dimensions

by SR Editor June 23, 2011

Palestine has resisted, and endured, all attempts of geographic partition and segmentation over the last 100 years. Today, Israel controls the totality of historic Palestine, while exerting pressure, locally and internationally, for its recognition as a Jewish state without drawing its final borders.

We Are The Terrorists

by Haitham Sabbah June 3, 2011

We have an obligation to every last victim of this illegal aggression because all of this carnage has been done in our name. Since World War II, 90% of the casualties of war are unarmed civilians. 1/3 of them children. Our victims have done nothing to us.

Is Israel’s Rightwing in Eric Cantor’s District?

by SR Editor April 30, 2011

Cantor is listed on Maplight.org as the top recipient of campaign money from “pro-Israel” groups in the U.S. House of Representatives, having taken in over $200,000.
