Henry Herskovitz – Will IJAN Challenge Jewish Power?

By Guest Post • Mar 20th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Internet and Communication, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, Religion, Zionism

Right out of the box, she shows her hand – Tumposky's and IJAN's opposition to apartheid is rooted not in universalistic notions of justice and human rights but in Jewish chauvinism/exceptionalism. Thus, they appeal to Jews on the grounds of "our varied traditions of social justice." And Tumposky wants to make sure – absolutely certain – that fighting anti-Semitism is prioritized in any work on freeing Palestine from the genocide brought on by the Jewish state.



Khalil Nakhleh – “Contested histories”, “contested narratives”: What kind of nonsense is this? Again it’s a war of words and concepts!

A contribution to Palestine Think Tank's and Tlaxcala's First Word War
Numerous books and articles have been written, guided by the main thesis that the reason for the prolonged and intractable conflict between Israel and Palestine, and which is constantly at an impasse, is that there are two “contested” histories (of Jews and Arabs in Palestine!), [...]



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 [...]



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 [...]



Care and Feeding of the Holocaust Elephant in the Room (spiced up by Ahmadinejad)

By Mary Rizzo • Oct 11th, 2009 • Category: Features, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, War, Zionism

While Netanyahu and the West rant and rage about the alleged sins of Iran’s President in order to help Israel stay on the top of the game, we see another really bizarre trend in this “constant reminder of the Holocaust”. Surprise surprise, it’s not only the main theme for those whose purpose for existing is to enable Israel who are keeping the “constant reminders of the Holocaust” in the place of prominence. It is also the committed anti-Zionists who like to keep this fil rouge of Ahmadi and the Holocaust running.

How Does the World Protect Itself from Israel and the Scourge of Zionism?

By Guest Post • Sep 28th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Internet and Communication, Israel, Middle East Issues, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

WRITTEN BY ROGER TUCKER
 There are many people, "progressive" Zionists included, who loudly object to the Occupation in the Palestinian territories, but see no problem with the continued existence of an Israel that privileges Jews over all others who happen to live there, particularly the Muslim, Christian and other non-Jewish "citizens." These people are referred to [...]



Stuart Littlewood – How Low will Israel Stoop to Win the Propaganda War?

By Guest Post • Sep 17th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Documents, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Zionism

One of the main goals of PTT has been to debunk, uncover and counter the ways that Israel and its advocates use the tools of propaganda. They are very good at their propaganda, especially because they have the economic possibilities to exploit it to its maximum potential. PTT (and Peacepalestine blog before it) has been analysing the Hasbara [...]



Paul J Balles – The Israel Lobby's Global Propaganda Manual

By Mary Rizzo • Sep 16th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Education, Israel, Mary's Choice, Newswire, Zionism

Paul J. Balles views a major public relations manual for Israel lobbyists. Written by Dr Frank Luntz, a US Republican political consultant and pollster, on behalf of The Israel Project, a US media advocacy group, it teaches pro-Israel propagandists how to hoodwink people about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, how to silence critics and how to avoid [...]



Madonna: "The Harlot's Dance" & "Israel's New Best Friend"

WRITTEN BY: Satia’a Nouredine
TRANSLATED BY: Adib S. Kawar  
She slowly spreads her legs, then she raises them high, before she rests her right leg on a couch’s armrest, and waits for seconds, then she quickly jumps up, she slackens the reins of her body another time proceeding with its hysteric movements, which don’t lack defiance, and [...]
