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 [...]



Israel’s appalling denial of entry to Palestine for African American activists Dhoruba Bin Wahad and Naji Mujahid

USPCN stands with African American activists against Israeli racism
Israel’s appalling denial of entry to Palestine for African American activists Dhoruba Bin Wahad and  Naji Mujahid comes as no surprise.  The state of Israel, inherently racist and exclusionary, has always found common cause with other racist regimes around the world. It was a major military supporter [...]

(in the photo: People in Johannesburg March in Solidarity with Palestine.) Dear Mr. President,
I am writing to express my dismay and disappointment with both your attendance at the national conference of the South African Jewish Board of Deputies – a racist organization by any standards – as well as the content of your speech at [...]

Address by Ronnie Kasrils: CAPE TOWN INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE: RE-ENVISIONING ISRAEL/PALESTINE 12 JUNE 2009
 
May I start by quoting a South African who emphatically stated as far back as 1961 that “The Jews took Israel from the Arabs after the Arabs had lived there for a thousand years. Israel like South Africa, is an apartheid state” (Rand [...]

The following international report concluding that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories "has become a colonial enterprise which implements a system of apartheid" was sent out by journalist Ben White. Another stinging statement from the report: "The Wall and its infrastructure of gates and permanent checkpoints suggest a policy permanently to divide the West Bank into [...]

By Sami Jamil Jadallah • Mar 26th, 2009 • Category: Analysis, Features, Israel, Newswire, Palestine, Religion, Somoud: Arab Voices of Resistance, War, Zionism

The Jewish War on Gaza and its resultant destruction of the Gaza Strip and the horrible killings of innocent women and children in cold blood and as reported in series of articles in the Israeli newspaper Haaretz and in statements made by UN officials were not surprising since Jewish soldiers are educated and trained to [...]
