    13 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    The illegal settlement movement, supported by every Israeli administration to date, has burgeoned out of control and its right wing leaders are vehemently opposed to negotiating land for peace.
    We will probably see the present Foreign Minister and Kadima party leader, Tzipi Livni - if she forms the next government and takes over from Ehud Olmert, now interim PM - use the same stalling tactics with the Palestinian Authority that have, up until now, allowed land grabs from the Palestinians (…)

  • Pro-Zionist, pro-Apartheid Israel CENSORSHIP by UK Guardian re US & Israeli War Crimes
    12 November 2008 par (Open-Publishing)

    The UK Guardian’s “Comment is Free” has just published an article by a former British member of the US-funded Israeli Defence Force, one Seth Freedman. I commented on what I described as a “thoughtful article” which simply made the point that in remembering the Allied war dead in World War 1 on Remembrance Day (11 November) one should give pause to think of the Other Soldiers in that conflict and indeed in what the author euphemistically describes as the “Israeli-Palestinian imbroglio” ( in (…)

    John Chuckman
    There has been an ad on television recently, one featuring a young couple walking or drifting into a place of enchantment, a warm and colourful fantasy world, a kind of biblical Disneyland. Every step of their brief journey is met by people smiling warmly, moving slowly, even bowing, greeting them at each turn with Shalom!
    It is interesting that all the faces in the ad are the same kind of faces we might see in New York or (…)
