"A remarkable failure for a journalist"-2009 Courage in Journalism Award Acceptance Speech by Amira Hass

By Guest Post • Nov 3rd, 2009 • Category: Hasbara Deconstruction Site, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Zionism

Allow me to start with a correction. How impolite, you'd rightly think, but anyway, we Israelis are being forgiven for much worse than impoliteness.
What is so  generously termed today by the International Women's Media Foundation as my lifetime achievement  needs to be corrected.  Because it is Failure.  Nothing more than a  failure.   A lifetime failure.
Come to [...]



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.



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 [...]



From War Criminal in Israel to Coffee Salesman

By Kawther Salam • Sep 13th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Biography, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Israel, Kawther's Choice, Newswire, Palestine, Uprooted Palestinians' Testimonies, War, Zionism

If the past is associated with war crimes and crimes against humanity and injustice, then the history of the perpetrators is the history of criminals and their crimes, and the victims must never forget, never forgive, lest the perpetrators continue on their path of crimes. Nobody can ask from perpetrators to take responsibility for their crimes, because if they were responsible, or even capable of responsibility, to begin with, they would not engage in acts understood as reprehensible by the vast majority of humanity. The victims, on the other hand, have the responsibility not only to take care of ourselves, but to do everything in our power to stop the perpetrators, and to warn others about them.



Kawther Salam – Fancy Title People and the IDF against Journalists

By Kawther Salam • Aug 28th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Biography, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Documents, Grassroots Activism, Israel, Nakba and Right of Return, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, Uprooted Palestinians' Testimonies, Zionism

I strongly reject and condemn the “work” of the Israeli military censorship imposed on the work of journalists and the publications of the Palestinian in the West Bank. I also strongly condemn the continuous restrictions which the Israeli military censorship imposes on the foreign journalists, monitoring their reports, banning and censoring them in the office of [...]



Kawther Salam – Night of Israeli Horror in Jerusalem Hospital

By Kawther Salam • Aug 27th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Children's Corner, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Human Rights, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Resistance, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Zionism

The roots and the horror of this crime date back to June 2, 1994, when the Israeli Special Forces and other IDF soldiers stormed the surgery, maternity and pediatric wards of the Palestinian hospital Augusta Victoria (generally known as “al-Motala”) in Jerusalem while they were looking for the BODY of a Palestinian who they mistakenly [...]

This video interview, in two parts, made by Morris Herman for the Palestinian Mothers Network (also viewable on http://www.palestinianmothers.com/video/2-palestinian-mothers and You Tube) asks the Swedish journalist about the article that currently is in the news, reporting on the claims made to the journalist from Palestinians about the belated return of their sons, maimed, killed and their organs [...]



Kawther Salam – The Body Snatchers of Israel

By Kawther Salam • Aug 24th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Counter-terrorism, No thanks!, Human Rights, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, Uprooted Palestinians' Testimonies, War, Zionism

(photo: numbered graves in secret cemetery in Israel) Independently of the recently published article of the Swedish journalist Donald Boström about the Israelis murdering Palestinians in order to harvesting of organs for sale, and independently of the hysteric screeching and denials by the Israelis, I want to present my readers what I witnessed, saw, observed [...]



The World Can't Be Changed Without Fighting Western Propaganda

By Guest Post • Aug 18th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Internet and Communication, Newswire, Opinions and Letters, Resistance, War

WRITTEN BY Andrei Vltchek
Sometimes I am chased by nightmares: I am in the middle of some bombed out refugee camp, maybe in Congo (DRC) or in some other desperate country at the periphery of media interests. Children are running around with swollen bellies, clearly suffering from malnutrition. Many women in the camp have swollen bellies [...]
