The Overthrow of Mubarak is the Best Present the Palestinians Could Receive Egypt is, after Saudi Arabia and Israel, the United States closes ally in the Middle East and the recipient of the largest amount of US aid after Israel itself. The Tunisian revolution, itself only half-finished, is beginning to take off. These are early…

Palestinian Solidarity Campaign Should Cut All Links with PA This shocking report comes from the Arab Organisation for Human Rights in Britain and the London-based Middle East Monitor. It outlines abuse of detainees in the West Bank, including the types of torture used by Palestinian Authority (PA) security services against detainees, as well as a…

At least one can one thing of Israel’s best. They have learned well from their elders. ‘Death to the Arab’s didn’t come from nowhere. As recent posts have shown, Israeli rabbis are throwing off the inhibitions of the diaspora and talking of death camps for Arabs. Having already shouted racist abuse at a group of…

The Genocidal Rabbis It has always been said in defence of Zionism and Israel, when comparisons are made between the treatment of the Palestinians and Jews under Hitler, that however bad Zionism is they have not called for or undertaken the planned extermination of the Arabs.

Only the mentally insane and Israeli propagandists could really believe that the way to save Gaza’s Palestinians from the icy grip of Hamas was to blow 1,400 of them up in the attack and bombing in 2008/9. Anyone who isn’t a certifiable liar employed by Israel’s numerous propaganda organisations or the Zionist Federation, such as…

Perhaps the most shocking of all things in Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians is the way that children are treated. It is unimaginable that an Jewish Israeli child would be brought to court in shackles or even be placed in a court of law. Beatings and abuse of children by the Israeli military is common…

Another Israeli Attack on a Peaceful Palestinian Village I remember when growing up, as a Zionist, we were told of how Israel had made the desert bloom, drained the swamps whilst the Arabs sat around planning to kill them.
