Zahir Ebrahim – Response to John Kaminski's 'Why no Jewish writer can be believed'

By Guest Post • Mar 1st, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Features, Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Ideas and Projects, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Religion, Zionism

Often times, as G. Edward Griffin also puts it, the sins of the 'left' are uncovered by their enemies on the 'right', and vice versa. The in-fighting among hegemonic pigs often betrays their criminal secrets. For an astute non-bigoted seeker of truth and justice for all, that's simply the low hanging fruits of the rotten tree to be plucked for forensic analysis.



Paul J. Balles – Zionism Unmasked: "Anti-Semitic" – the label that stops criticism

By Guest Post • Feb 13th, 2010 • Category: Features, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, War, Zionism

By Paul J. Balles*
If you indulge in ad hominem attacks (attacking the person rather than the issue), you can expect the same in return. The issues related to the anti-Semitic label are many.
First, the expression "anti-Semitic" is a misnomer. It's defined as "hating Jews or Judeophobia." The label "anti-Semitism" is wrong because not all Jews [...]



Jeff Gates – ZIONISM UNMASKED: End of Zionism = Peace

By Jeff Gates • Feb 13th, 2010 • Category: Features, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, War, Zionism

By Jeff Gates*
While Zionism is clearly a nationalist ideology, that narrow framing does the term an injustice as it is so much more.
Zionism is more accurately described as a strategy for targeting thought and emotion as a means to influence behavior. Naïve Jews were its first victims when induced to identify with an enclave in [...]



Alan Hart – ZIONISM UNMASKED: A fairy tale that's become a terrifying nightmare

By Alan Hart • Feb 13th, 2010 • Category: Features, Israel, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Palestine, War, Zionism

By Alan Hart*
Most Jews of the world (and probably many Gentiles) believe that Zionism is the return of Jews to the land promised to them by God. At the risk of offending some readers of all faiths for saying so, I must confess, and do so cheerfully, that I don't buy this concept because the [...]



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 [...]



Jeff Gates – Time for an American Intifada?

By Jeff Gates • Feb 7th, 2010 • Category: Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Zionism

By Jeff Gates*
During the 1960 Christmas season, Americans flocked to the theaters to see Exodus, a 3-1/2 hour epic film featuring handsome freedom fighters and a riveting romance amidst the heroic triumph of Jewish Destiny over Arab Evil Doers. Set against a Yuletide backdrop of Biblical prophecy, moviegoers marveled as exiled Jews returned to their [...]



Maidhc Ó Cathail – The Source of the Economic Crisis: A Chicago State of Mind

By Guest Post • Feb 7th, 2010 • Category: Features, Israel, Newswire, Zionism

By Maidhc Ó Cathail*
Worried about the global economic crisis? It's all in your head, says a leading financial expert.
And that's the problem, according to Jeff Gates, author of the highly-regarded Democracy At Risk: Rescuing Main Street From Wall Street, a sequel to The Ownership Solution: Toward A Shared Capitalism For The 21st Century. The latter [...]



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

By Guest Post • Jan 28th, 2010 • Category: Analysis, Culture and Heritage, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

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!), [...]



William A. Cook – Walled in by Myth and Deceit

By Haitham Sabbah • Dec 7th, 2009 • Category: Features, Haitham's Choice, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Resistance, Zionism

By William A. Cook*
Ben Gurion "…realized that the holy book could be made into a secular national text, serve as a central repository of ancient collective imagery, help forge the hundreds of thousands of new immigrants into a unified people, and tie the younger generation to the land." (Shlomo Sand, The Invention of the Jewish [...]



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 [...]
