Palestine / Gaza / West Bank

By Khalid Amayreh on wikileaks in occupied Palestine A few weeks ago, a supposedly religious activist, probably from one of the Gulf States, suggested to me that Muslims shouldn’t confine our attacks to Zionists; we ought, he said, to attack Jews as Jews, on the grounds that the vast majority of Jews support Israel. I treated this “advice” with great caution, suspecting that he might be one of those overzealous fanatics who are duped by Zionist circles to malign Jews so that Israeli hasbara (propaganda) operatives such as

After Brazil's decision to recognize a Palestinian state within the 1967 borders, the President of Argentina, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, confirmed, on Sunday, that she would also recognize an independent Palestine with the same parameters.

This woman surely knows what she is talking about. If I were American, I would have voted for her. Most people haven't even heard of her. They%uFEFF only heard about McBush and Obama "The Messiah", the "new M.L.K", "Change you can believe in" etc etc bullcrap. (voir http://www.youtube.com/user/lilpac90)

I am outraged at Israel%u2019s latest criminal act. I mourn with my fellow Free Gaza travelers, the lives that have been lost by Israel%u2019s needless, senseless act against unarmed humanitarian activists. But I%u2019m even more outraged that once again, Israel%u2019s actions have been aided and abetted by a U.S. political class that has become corrupted beyond belief due to its reliance on Zionist finance and penetration by Zionist zealots for whom no U.S.

For Jerusalem, a response to Elie Wiesel By Yossi Sarid For Jerusalem’s sake I, like you, will not rest. With great interest I read the beautiful open letter you penned to the U.S. president that appeared in the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal and International Herald Tribune on Friday, and which will appear in the New York Times today. From it I learned that you know much about heavenly Jerusalem, but less so about its counterpart here on earth. An outsider reading your letter would probably have concluded that peace has already taken root in the City of Peace.

Israel has opened the so-called %u201CHurva%u201D (Ruin) synagogue in occupied Jerusalem (al-Quds) on Monday, in a move backed by the United States and ignited angry protests by Palestinians in the holy city and elsewhere in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Hamas announced Tuesday a %u201Cday of rage%u201D a day following the opening of the synagogue a few hundred meters from the al-Aqsa Mosque in. A joint Palestinian factions%u2019 statement read by Hamas%u2019 Politburo Chief Khaled Meshaal in Damascus on Monday, described the synagogue opening as %u201Ca declaration

Le mouvement de solidarité aurait-il, entre-temps, changé d’orientation et de méthodes, pour s’en prendre aux produits, magasins et restaurants juifs observants ? Le ministère de l’intérieur n’a signalé aucune action de ce type. Et pour cause : l’antisémitisme et le racisme ont toujours été radicalement étrangers au mouvement français de solidarité avec la Palestine. Comment une ministre d’Etat peut-elle se contredire avec autant d’aplomb, pour proférer une contre-vérité reprise à son compte par le premier ministre lui-même (3) ?

Jenin Jenin depicts the true story of Israeli colossal barbarism. There is no doubt left, the Jewish State is the ultimate enemy of humanity and humanism. It also presents the Palestinian ordeal facing the Zionist evil. Clearly, surviving the Israeli occupation is nothing but heroism.

Significant numbers of Jewish people are not Zionists and oppose that appalling creed while many Zionists are not Jewish. These include the Christian Zionists and Obama's vice-president, Joe Biden, who told Israeli television 'I'm a Zionist'. Here's the clip if you can stand it ... If, as Biden rightly says, you don't have to be a Jew to be a Zionist, how can it be a racial rather than a political movement? It can't.

Publisher's note: I first met Issa Nakhleh more than fifteen years ago while he was still busily researching for his two volume "Encyclopedia of the Palestine Problem". I learnt first hand of his personal history, a palestinian, a refugee, a man who had lost everything he had had. His house, his law office, his apartment house in Jerusalem and a banana plantation were, as he describes "usurped by the Zionists and Israeli war criminals ".

Israel declares it will respond with disproportionate force, if attacked by rockets from Gaza, then Israel is attacked by Rockets! Hamas Spokesperson claims on Radio that Israel "Agents" are sending rockets from Gaza at Israel to create an excuse for Israel to attack Gaza.

This “ideology of annihilation” is by no means a minority opinion in Israel, but represents a mainstream in the Jews of Israel as well as Jews in the West (US). The popular attitude is “if it was right by God to order us to commit genocide during Biblical time, why can’t it be right to commit genocide now. Has God changed his mind?” Indeed Judaic god is a racist genocidal god.

Israel has refused to allow a French-made water purification system into Gaza amid a drinking water crisis in the Palestinian strip. The French Foreign Ministry said Friday that Tel Aviv had blocked the entry of a much-needed water purification station into Gaza and had forced its repatriation.

"There were a very great number of steps taken at all levels to try to get the water

"Fire on anything that moves in Zeitoun" - that was the order handed down to Israeli troops in the Givati Shaked battalion, who reduced the eastern Gaza City suburb to little more than rubble in a matter of days.

Every single Israeli soldier who crosses the border of 1967 is enforcing an illegal occupation, ethnical cleansing, genocide. They are without exception war criminals, and we must never forget their crimes. We must do everything possible to bring them before justice.

Compare the photos on the left from the Nazi regime to the photos on the right from the Israeli regime in Palestine. You’ll find the pictures in black & white in most American and other western countries history books, encyclopedias, libraries, museums. One, for instance, depicts a young Jewish boy with his hands up while Nazi troops point their guns at him and his family in order to expel them from their homes. They make you sympathize with the victims and support their cause for justice and a homeland.

Canada Park is built on the ruins of three once-thriving Arab villages that Israeli soldiers bulldozed into the ground during the 1967 Mideast War. Nearly 9,000 Arab residents were driven out of their homes and forced to march for days over rocky hillsides to safety. When the residents were gone, the soldiers pulled down the homes and plowed under the orchards. Israel wiped the villages off the map.

"People are extremely angry and the level of hate against Israel is very high. I have lived and worked in Gaza for many years and I have never seen such hatred from the population," said Qleibo.

"They see this as a war against all Palestinians.
