Mamoon Alabassi – Noam Chomsky: no change in US 'Mafia principle'
Top American intellectual sees no significant change of US foreign policy under Obama. As civilised people across the world breathed a sigh of relief to see the back of former US president George W. Bush, top American intellectual Noam Chomsky warned against assuming or expecting significant changes in the basis of Washington's foreign policy under President [...]ZAHIR EBRAHIM – At What Cost the Israel Lobby?: It's only an 'errand boy'!
WRITTEN BY Zahir Ebrahim In Response to Jeff Gates' At What Cost the Israel Lobby? Jeff Gates at www.criminalstate.com, on the issue of Israeli Nuclear weapons, after exploring JFK's (perceived) role, observes of the immediate pertinent question at hand: 'Special Standard for a Special Friend Due to its “special relationship” with the U.S., Tel Aviv remains a non-signatory to [...]Abbas admits failure of the peace process
It is hard to think how Abbas can redeem and rectify some of his blunders. Some of his sins, such as the security coordination with Israel, can never be forgiven. But Abbas can still embark on some daring steps to salvage things before it is too late. At the top of these steps should be the orderly dismantling of the Palestinian Authority under whose rubric the national Palestinian cause is being liquidated. Failure to do so, under whatever pretexts and excuses, would only mean legitimizing the colonial Israeli scheme and capitulating to the status quo. Let us get rid of the big lie and confront ourselves with the all too-clear fact that the colonialist Zionist occupation of our country never really receded and that the Oslo Agreement was a deception from A to Z. We must tell our people that the PA is not a phase toward liberation from Zionist tyranny, as we have been told, but is rather an instrument for the liquidation of the Palestinian cause.PFLP – PFLP: U.S. is not a mediator but an enemy of the Palestinian people
The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine said on November 3, 2009 that the Palestinian Authority, and all Palestinian parties, must immediately end any and all illusions about the United States or its president, Barack Obama, and instead reject its "negotiations" based on surrender and rely on the Palestinian people and their resistance, unity [...]Nahida Izzat – Equal Rights for serial killers, and for their victims???
Can anyone see some ethical flaws with that? I have no authority to talk in the name of all Palestinians, but I have previously stated that I DO NOT wish the zionist murderers, those of whom were directly or indirectly involved in massacres, theft of land, subjugation and oppression, to remain in Palestine after its liberation [...]Adam Shapiro speaks about Gaza's suffering from Israel

By Alan Hart * s 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. But for those who are interested in truth and justice, not to mention democracy, the highlight of what passed for debate was the [...]Give up on Obama, Disband the Palestinian Authority
WRITTEN BY Sami Jamil Jadallah The issue of continuing and expanding Jewish settlements came back to haunt the Palestinian leadership that negotiated Oslo and continued to negotiate with Israel for the last 16 years while Israeli continued to build and expand its settlements, not to mention building the Apartheid Wall. Now 16 years later finally the Palestinian [...]EU and The Israeli War Crimes in Gaza
The 25th annual conference of the Arab medical doctors in Europe and the 21st annual conference of the Union of the Austro-Arab medical doctors and pharmacists, held at the Modul Hotel in Vienna, was turned to a political demonstration against the Israeli occupation and its criminal policies against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on [...]No Emergency Summits for Arab Human Development Crisis
WRITTEN BY Ramzy Baroud When the first Arab Human Development Report (AHDR) was published in 2002, a star glistened in a vast, gloomy sky. The fact that a UN-sponsored report, authored by independent Arab scholars would receive so much attention in Arab media, was in itself a promising start. The fact that such terminology as human [...]The Goldstone Report at the UN General Assembly: States Must EnsureVictims' Rights and Not Compromise the Rule of Law
Palestinian organisations for rights and justice have issued a joint press statement in which they ask that Impunity must not be allowed to prevail. International law, and the respect for the fundamental human rights of peoples throughout the world, must not be subject to the whim of powerful States. As Palestinians and representatives of the victims we demand justice, and the possibility of a peaceful future. The General Assembly must request that the Security Council not only consider the Goldstone Report, but also implement its recommendations.A Plea to Norway's University of Trondheim to Boycott Israel
It is shocking that the world accepts Israel’s genocides and threats against its neighbors as fait accompli without regard to the never ending suffering of Palestinians under its brutal military occupation. Palestinians and Lebanese die, suffer and endure in silence in a world conditioned to accept Israel’s “right to self defense”, a euphemism for wanton murder. They die in silence, absent from the western conscience due to the blanket support of most western media outlets, none more so than in America, the nation exporting democracy and freedom through smart bombs and biased politicians who if they dare to criticize Israel jeopardize their ambitions and become the recipients of the worst media smears. In the U.S. no debate or action is allowed against Israel either by our own “never challenge Israel” government or by our staunchly Pro-Israel media.Afaq Jadeeda's Let The Children Play and Heal
As part of Let the Children Play and Heal, 120,000 children attended two-week summer camps throughout Gaza, which ended with music and dance performances. This psychosocial support program was initiated by our partner Afaq Jadeeda (New Horizons) to address children's psychological needs after the New Year's assault on Gaza. Let the Children Play and Heal is [...]"A remarkable failure for a journalist"-2009 Courage in Journalism Award Acceptance Speech by Amira Hass
Allow me to start with a correction. How impolite, you'd rightly think, but anyway, we Israelis are being forgiven for much worse than impoliteness. What is so generously termed today by the International Women's Media Foundation as my lifetime achievement needs to be corrected. Because it is Failure. Nothing more than a failure. A lifetime failure. Come to [...]Khaled Islaih – Re-spacing Zayta: Exploring Transnational Geographies
Historically, villagers were fully dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. They were harvesting olives, almonds, citrus and rain-fed crops such as wheat, barley, and beans. After the Israeli military occupation, villagers' hardship continued. Villagers were used as unskilled labour in Israeli factories and on construction sites. As a result, farmers neglected their remaining farmlands and agricultural produce declined sharply. As in any other Palestinian locality, shops in the village were turned into marketing outlets for Israeli produce. Moreover, the Israeli military administration controlled all aspects of economic life in the village, including the release of building permits, driving licenses, travel permits and recruitment approval of public servants. All in all, livelihood in the village was designed to serve Israeli colonial interests. The combination of accelerated hardships of the Palestinian rural communities, including Zayta, and the failure of conventional development models to resolve Palestinian challenges call for an alternative Palestinian development worldview.Palestine: Elections Doomed to Fail Under Division
Let us suppose for the sake of argument that Hamas would win the elections, even by a narrow margin. Would Fatah then cede power to the victorious party? Would the United States and Britain and Israel's Western allies come to terms with the results? Would Israel recognize Hamas as the true representative of the Palestinian people? Would the American-trained PA security forces agree to be answerable to the new government? Obviously, the answer for all these crucial questions is absolutely "No".Mohamed Khodr – America’s Media? A Colonial Force for Israel’s Infallibility
“Their/our” media is the true Apartheid Wall between Israel and our nation. It strangles our capitol like an elastic beltway that it tightens and loosens according to Israel’s directions. It is the whip that keeps our cowardly politicians in tow and our populace ignorant of the truth about Israel “our ally and only democratic government in the Middle East”. Israel is the huge sucking sound that drains our money, military, and mind set while we like indoctrinated puppets cheer it on. We are helping Israel in its strategy to create our own national suicide. And not only that: Twenty of the 47 fundraisers that Obama's campaign identified as collecting more than $500,000 have been named to government positions. If you look closely you will find that the vast majority of these donors are Jewish, many from Wall Street, or Pro-Israel activists.Ayman Nijim – Facing Tomorrow
(artwork by Carlos Latuff) The time has come for looking deeper into the Palestinian political system and empowerment of the Palestinian, Arab and international think tanks worldwide to face the thought-provoking challenges of the Palestinian divide and its negative impacts on the Palestinians, their neighbors and the international community. If it matters, measure it. Firstly, the [...]More speech silencing: Michigan Student Assembly votes gag rule
These ideas are not allowed to be expressed in an American University Student Union: Boycott all Israeli products. Take that $1 trillion you’re spending to kill Muslims, and spend it instead on re-building Detroit. Stop 400 years of White Privilege—the University should admit every Black high school graduate.
