I am appalled that Yusuf Islam had accepted such an invitation from such murderous entity from a center created by a war criminal and named after him

However I am glad that they rejected him, refused his entry and slapped him in the face, which might just help wake him up to the reality of this vile regime

I don’t doubt the intentions of Yusuf Islam; however, he should be more vigilant and not fall into the zionist trap

zionists have been working hard in recent years to gloss over the vile crimes committed on daily basis for over 60 years, by attempting to present it as a peace-loving, peace-searching entity through the creation of many organizations that talk about peace but muffle the faintest voice that dares to mention justice

Those organizations do not acknowledge the harm inflected upon the Palestinians nor do they show any willingness to remedy them fairly

How could one allow his/her quest for peace blind them to the fact that the only road to peace is though justice?

As we witness the incessant murder of justice in Palestine, any claims that we could achieve peace with ignoring justice is plain wickedness if the aim is to improve the ugly image of the occupier, or mere fantasy if we assume good intentions

Maybe Yusuf Islam should consider visiting Gaza and singing about the peace train that was denied entry to the stolen land of Palestine, or the peace train that was stopped at checkpoint, or the peace train that was bombed to oblivion by cluster bombs, thus he would have kept his dignity and stood by his beliefs

He would’ve been taken more seriously by peace loving people and his words would be perceived as being authentic and realistic

VERY DISAPPOINTING YUSUF

and YES; we are always looking for activist translators, and if you would like to check out our site, see the manifesto and investigate being part of the group, that would be great. I have to say, not only do we do a lot of work that seems to make a difference, our translations are practically everywhere and have become a sign of quality activist translations, because of the way we work, but… we are a group of people from all over the place who cooperate with one another and have developed a really positive and friendly connection.

The Spanish contingent is really strong, and they have a few websites that they feed regularly, including Rebelion. You would probably enjoy the companeros! I love them!

I love your website Mary.

I have also been an advocate for Paletinian rights since I began to think.
Keep up the good work.
