The Penny Has Dropped

Solidarity with the Palestinians is about to become a tidal wave.

(LONDON) - Ynet reported yesterday, that in a BBC global poll gauging attitudes towards various countries worldwide, Israel came pretty much at the bottom -- There were just three countries less popular than the Jewish State – Pakistan, North Korea and Iran.

The Israelis must find it hard to accept that their state is one of the least popular countries in the world. Seemingly, Zionism -- that presented itself as a promise to bring about a civilised and lovable Jewish state -- has totally failed.

Could Pariah Status Spell the End for Zionism?

Definition: Pariah - a social outcast (Chambers Dictionary)

(LONDON) - One eminent Israeli who apparently thinks the answer could be yes is Ilan Baruch, a veteran diplomat who resigned ahead of his retirement because, he said, he could no longer represent his government’s “wrong” policy.

He also ridiculed Zionism’s assertion that global anti-Israeli sentiments generated by occupation are a manifestation of anti-Semitism.

Britain Cherry-Picks Which War Criminals to Prosecute and Where to Impose No-Fly Zones

What sort of buffoon is Cameron?

(LONDON) - Stuart Littlewood highlights the incredible, blatant hypocrisy of the British government, foremost Prime Minister David Cameron and Foreign Secretary William Hague, who are applying one standard to the criminal Libyan regime of Mu’ammar Gaddafi while going out of their way to protect and justify the crimes of another criminal regime, that of Israel.

”Prime Minister David Cameron told MPs that he had asked the head of Britain's armed forces to work with allies to see if a military no-fly zone was possible.

Universal Jurisdiction

The tampering will enable Gaddafi's arrest but protect Israeli war criminals.

(LIVERPOOL) - Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) has initiated a campaign to enable people to petition their MPs to support Ann Clwyd's Amendment to the Police Bill currently going through Parliament.

Her Amendment calls for the Government to omit the clause in the Bill which tampers with the present law of Universal Jurisdiction.

The `Illegal` Bishop of Jerusalem and the Christian EXODUS from the `Holy` Land

"If God would speak today he would say, 'I am fed up with your religion!' The more religion there is; the less spirituality” - Reverend Dr. Mitri Raheb, Pastor in Bethlehem since 1988

(EAST JERUSALEM) - The Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Reverend Suheil Dawani, has been forbidden to live in Jerusalem because his permit/visa was revoked by Israel’s Interior Ministry.

The Anglican Cathedral and Diocesan offices are located in East Jerusalem, which Israel has occupied since 1967. Israel annexed East Jerusalem and thus claims it as national territory.

Unnecessary Tragic End of Yacht Voyage in Somalia

(NAIROBI, Kenya ECOTERRA) - According to U.S. officials, quoted first by selected media, the four U.S. American hostages on SY QUEST are confirmed dead.

Geert Wilders-Europe Leading Islamophob

The poster boy for the far right?

(LONDON) - He was once refused entry to Britain.

He has called for the Qur'an to be banned and has proposed a tax on wearing headscarves. And he is also the first politician ever to stand trial on charges of 'incitement to hatred'. Geert Wilders, instantly recognisable for his quiff of platinum blond hair, is one of Holland's most controversial and well-known politicians and, some argue, Europe's most dangerous man.

U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Goes After Richard Falk

Professor Richard Falk of Princeton has long been a thorn in the side of the U.S. foreign policy establishment because he has been an outspoken critic of Israeli policy toward the Palestinians.

(WASHINGTON D.C.) - Currently, he serves as U.N. Special Rapporteur on the Palestinians. But what’s raised the ire of the State Department this time has nothing to do with his views on the Palestinians but rather on 9/11.

For some time now, Falk has been skeptical of the official story around 9/11 and has blurbed the writings of David Ray Griffin, one of the leading critics.

Richard Falk Reponds to The Lobby`s Vilification

For anyone who read the blog post in its entirety, it should be plain that the reference to the 9/11 issues is both restrained and tangential.

(LOS ANGELES) - Because my blog prompted by the Arizona shootings has attracted many comments pro and con, and more recently has been the object of a more selective public attack on me personally, I thought it appropriate to post a supplementary blog with the purpose of clarifying my actual position and re-focusing attention on the plight and suffering of the Palestinian people being held in captivity.
