Khalid Amayreh – Rising Turkey Versus Receding Arabs

By Khalid Amayreh • Jan 28th, 2010 • Category: Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Our Authors, Palestine, Religion, Zionism

There is no doubt that the collective Arab situation will continue to deteriorate further until the collective Arab house collapses completely.

This is unless the Arab masses wake up from their dormancy, despair, and apathy, and decide to empower themselves and restore the usurped Arab dignity and freedom.



Greg Felton – "Inglourious Basterds" wins the Leni Award!

By Guest Post • Jan 25th, 2010 • Category: Features, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Zionism

(editor's note: I really enjoyed this satire by Greg Felton. I haven't seen the film, as I refuse to spend money on Zionist propaganda, but everything I read about the film as well as the Israeli and Ultra-Zionist connections of those who financed it seem to support Greg's argument. Be sure to check out his posters in [...]



Mohamed Khodr – 2050: The Re-Birth of a New Just Nation

By Mohamed Khodr • Jan 18th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Documents, Features, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

First, we as Minorities must imbibe and fully understand the historic revolutionary opportunity for all Americans to reach a more perfect union by 2050 when we become the majority in our democracy. The white man has failed in his quest to understand and establish a nation where all men are created equal, that we all are born with inalienable rights, that man is born free from birth and to enslave and deprive man from that freedom is a violation of all divine edicts.

Who better to establish justice than those who’ve experienced injustice. Who better to understand deprivation, torture, hunger, chains and loss of life and land, than those who’ve suffered such. Who better to understand the loss of basic human rights than those who’ve been cleansed from such rights. Who better to understand the yearning for freedom for all men than those who’ve never possessed it. Who better to understand what racist regimes can inflict on humanity than those who’ve lived under such racist colonial regimes.



Lieberman 'Shames' Turkish Ambassador, Torpedoes Israel-Turkish Relations

By Guest Post • Jan 14th, 2010 • Category: Features, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Zionism

WRITTEN BY Richard Silverstein (Tikun Olam) In most cases, a country’s foreign minister is responsible for furthering his nation’s economic and political interests abroad.  Not in Israel.  In that country, the current foreign minister seems responsible for hectoring any country he deems insufficiently supportive of Israel; and in a few instances like Egypt and Turkey [...]



Khalid Amayreh – Why not Somalia? Why not Darfur? Why not Mars?

By Khalid Amayreh • Jan 14th, 2010 • Category: Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, Zionism

Zionist spin doctors are visibly upset by growing world awareness about the manifestly cruel Israeli-Egyptian blockade of the Gaza Strip. These malicious propagandists, hell-bent as they are on diverting attention from the slow-motion genocide being meted out to the helpless people of Gaza, are asking “why not Somalia? Why not Darfur?"
They think that Israeli-made Gaza [...]



What is Anti-Semitism? (part of "The First Word War")

By Guest Post • Jan 11th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Zionism

WRITTEN BY Anait Brutian  
                    
What is Anti-Semitism?  Before attempting to answer the question, we must first define the word “Anti-Semite.”   A dictionary definition describes Anti-Semitism as “hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group”   (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anti-semite).  Also known as Judeophobia, the term is used to describe “prejudice against or hostility towards Jews, [...]



Deconstructing Simon Wiesenthal

By Guest Post • Jan 5th, 2010 • Category: Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Zionism

WRITTEN BY Lawrence Swaim | January 4, 2010
The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles, California, is named after the famed Austrian Nazi-hunter, Simon Wiesenthal, a connection that turns out to be appropriate in disturbing but unexpected ways. That is, both Simon Wiesenthal and the Center named after him have been accused of flagrant lying, exaggerations [...]



Ramzy Baroud – Muslims Must Not Pay Price for Europe’s Identity Crisis

By Ramzy Baroud • Dec 24th, 2009 • Category: Culture and Heritage, Features, Newswire, Religion, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance

It seems that the targeting of Muslims and Islam has become a kind of national theater in France. Unlike theater, however, the disturbing trend can, and will turn ugly – in fact to a degree it already has – if the French government doesn’t get a grip on reality. The world, including France, is a [...]



Palestinians want more than words

By Khalid Amayreh • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: Israel, Khalid Amayreh, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Zionism

The EU's policy statement on a future Palestinian state now needs to be acted on, writes Khaled Amayreh from occupied Jerusalem
A watered-down, though still strongly worded policy statement issued by EU foreign ministers this week has drawn ambivalent reactions from both Israel and the Palestinians, with the latter urging the EU to act on the [...]



Manuel GARCÍA VIÑÓ – By Order of Mr. God

By Guest Post • Dec 10th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Israel, Nakba and Right of Return, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Zionism

If Israel doesn’t disappear once the U.S. stops helping it – a rather unthinkable possibility – it will never permit a Palestinian State. It is astonishing that both in the media and in international forums people still speak so profusely of a process of peace, of a roadmap, of meetings between the Israeli government and the sold out – more than weak – Palestinian Authority, all of this more than sixty years after the UN decreed a partition which was unjust but, in the end, was a partition nonetheless.
