Petition to Suspend the EU-Israeli Trade Agreement
“The world is not dangerous because of those who do harm but because of those who look at it without doing anything”.Albert Einstein “I swore never to be silent whenever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented“.Elie…
Read MoreLoving Jesus, fearing the neighbors in Ariel
What an outrage. Jews 4 Jesus and other loonies support the settlers 100%. They have no problem with bombing and murdering Palestinians yet, despite this, they are the target of racists who also despise Christianity. It’s difficult to know whether to laugh or cry!! Instead of appreciating all the help and support that Christian Zionism…

A sad report in Ha’aretz. Don’t the settlers know that only the Palestinians should be the target of terrorism and bombings? Unfortunately it’s not that simple. The Christian missionaries, who have no problems with bombing Palestinian homes, can’t understand why they should be the targets of Zionist terror simply because they want to convert settler…

Now I guess my first response to this story was, well they had it coming. Christian bigots who support the Israeli state and its oppression of the Palestinians, are hardly the first claimants on our sympathy. If anyone has it coming then they are prime candidates. Those who welcome Armaggedon can hardly complain when they…

Read MoreAll the President’s Nazis (Real and Imagined): An Open Letter to Bush
This is such an excellent article that I thought I’d repost it. It refers to George Bush’s speech to the Israeli Knesset where he compared those who would advocate talking to Hamas (clearly a reference to Barak Obama) to appeasers of Hitler. Dear Mr. Bush, Your speech on the Knesset floor today was not only…

There are a few people who have illusions that the anti-Semitic jazz player and ex-Israeli, Gilad Atzmon is an anti-Zionist. This confusion is, of course, understandable, because Atzmon purports to support the Palestinians. But supporting the Palestinians in the abstract doesn’t make one an anti-Zionist. It is quite possible to hold contradictory ideas in one’s…
Read MoreZionists Resort to Anti-Semitism to Attack Signatories to Guardian Letter of 30 April 08
As has often been remarked, anti-Semitism and Zionism are twins of a kind. Both agree that Jews do not belong in the countries of their birth and where they live. As Herzl remarked in his Diaries (a goldmine as he didn’t expect them to be published): ‘I took a look at the Paris Jews and…

The Guardian newspaper today printed a letter from over 100 British Jews, including yours truly, making it clear that in the midst of the ruling class’s celebrations of the establishment of their regional rottweiler, Israel, they would not be welcoming the 60th anniversary of the Nakba – the expulsion of the Palestinians from their homes…

Below is an open letter from Dr. Haidar Eid to Nadine Gordimer, a well known novellist and someone who was active in the anti-Apartheid struggle in South Africa. Gordimer was also the daughter of a refugee from the pogroms of Czarist Russia. She, of all people, should understand why it is wrong to ‘celebrate’ the…
