Jeffrey Blankfort – Why Israel Always Prevails

By Guest Post • Mar 20th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Israel, Middle East Issues, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

If the State Department had issued travel advisory warnings to US government officials about to travel to Israel, Vice President Joe Biden would have no doubt ignored them.  A better friend to Israel could not have been found in the 36 years that Biden represented Delaware in the US Senate and there was speculation that [...]



Max Blumenthal – Video: Rapture Ready, the Christians United for Israel convention

By Mary Rizzo • Feb 10th, 2010 • Category: Interviews, Israel, Newswire, Religion, Video, Zionism

Max Blumenthal is just fantastic, as usual. His approach, halfway between deadpan and ironic, always allows the persons interviewed to feel free to express themselves, and the platform he offers them provides us with an image that we have to see and try to understand.
Christian Zionists are a very strange reality. Fundamentalists whose greatest desire is to [...]



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.



Jeff Gates – Are Hate Crime Laws Legalising Treason?

By Jeff Gates • Nov 24th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, War, Zionism

Winning wars in the Information Age largely depends on winning the battle for public opinion. Thus the opinion-shaping role of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) when it attacked a high profile California professor for his criticism of Israeli policy in Palestine.
That ADL intimidation campaign successfully chilled debate on campuses nationwide during several time-critical months while a [...]



Jeff Gates – At What Cost the Israel Lobby?

By Jeff Gates • Oct 12th, 2009 • Category: Features, Israel, Middle East Issues, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

More than 46 years ago, President John F. Kennedy sought to preclude a nuclear arms race in the Middle East. In June 1963, he wrote the last in a series of insistent letters to Israeli Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion. Those letters sought what Israel now demands of Iran: international inspections of its nuclear facilities. The [...]



Sami Jamil Jadallah – J Street or no J Street, the American Jewish Leadership is the main obstacle to peace in the Middle East.

By Sami Jamil Jadallah • Sep 23rd, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Features, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Religion, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

J Street or no J Street, the American Jewish leadership is winning and it is winning big with its support for the continued Israeli occupation, the expansion of Jewish settlements, funding criminal settlers, funding land and property thieves, keeping Congress hostage and under Zionist siege, continued funding of the Jewish Occupations, undermining the US peace [...]



Mohamed Khodr – AIPAC is not above the law. PLUS, Meet Haim Saban

By Mohamed Khodr • Apr 23rd, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Biography, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Features, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Religion, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, Zionism

The Honorable Attorney General Eric Holder 
Sir; 
A story in today's Washington Post (April 22, 2009) suggests DOJ may drop its espionage case against AIPAC.   I find this incredulous, outrageous, and a blatant application of double standards.  The timing of this story after the revelation that Rep. Jane Harman was recorded speaking to an "agent" regarding a quid [...]



Mohamed Khodr – How Zionists Occupy Two Nations: America and Palestine

From America’s “Jewish Triangle” to Iraqi’s “Sunni Triangle

“The Modern Age is the Jewish Age, and the twentieth century, in particular, is the Jewish Century.”

No, America, there is no [...]

"Right and wrong are the same in Palestine as anywhere else. What is peculiar about the Palestine conflict is that the world has listened to the party that committed the offence and has turned a deaf ear to [...]
