Are bodies that monitor corruption…. corrupt too?

By Iqbal Tamimi • Jun 28th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Palestine

I was looking for information for some research about international corruption. I found Israel is almost always classified with European countries, while the Palestinian authority is classified with Middle Eastern countries, even though both are occupying the same geographical area.
Such classification does not appear on a personal blog so that one might consider such deviation [...]

Every honest Jew who knows the history of his people cannot but feel a deep sense of gratitude to Islam, which has protected the Jews for fifty generations, while the Christian world persecuted the Jews and tried many times “by the sword” to get them to abandon their faith.

BREAKING NEWS! The Palestinian day lasts 23 H and 20 mins!

By Adib Kawar • Jun 14th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Zionism

Israel Foreign Affairs Ministry: Lies are Truth

By Mary Rizzo • May 10th, 2008 • Category: Analysis, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Palestine, Zionism

The people in the press staff of the Israeli Foreign Affairs Ministry are talented science fiction writers. Almost nothing that they write has any bearing on reality, and it seems that they use Orwell’s 1984 as a guidebook for news dispatches. All that they need to do is look at the facts on the ground [...]

By Miguel Martinez, Translated by Ernesto Pramo. Revised by author
Repubblica. Plus, they dedicated the whole of pages 10 and 11 to him.
Just a question how much would it cost a run of the mill blogger to buy all that newspaper space?

at the left, a book to BUY!
Turin will host the International Book Fair in May. Already, there has been quite a bit of movement about it in activist circles. Why? Because the Guest of Honour is Israel, and 60 Authors (magic of numbers?) will be the highlighted ones. Aharon Shabtai already said NO! Ibrahim Nasrallah [...]
