Palestine Vs. Solidarity Movement

Logan Hall turned out to be very busy on the night.

(LONDON) - The press release ahead of the “Tahrir Square to Jerusalem” event in Logan Hall London promised to be an “imaginative production that will transport us from Tahrir Square through Jenin and to the heart of the new Jasmine Revolution sweeping the Arab world”.

Glenn Beck, Palestine, and the Streisand Effect

Getting caught in the 'Becksand' without a rope...
Sorry Mr. Beck, hate has no place in media.

(SALEM, Ore.) - Some people just don't know how to take a joke, and I'm one of them when it comes to a prejudice little media fascist named Glenn Beck.

The other joke-challenged people I reference are those who freaked out over my recent article about Glenn Beck's support for the freedom of Palestine. No, Beck does not support the struggle for Palestine's liberation from apartheid Israel's Genocidal drive to steal every piece of Arab land left.

Palestinians must Urgently Mobilize World Civil Society Support for UN Recognition Bid

The September moment is less than four months away...

(LONDON) - I hope the grey suits in the Palestinian Authority (PA) regularly receive ICAHD's monthly newsletter – ICAHD being Jeff Halper's excellent organization, the Israeli Campaign Against House Demolitions.

And I especially hope they pay close attention to the June edition just out, because it contains a must-read article by Jeff himself headed “Palestine/Israel: Where do we go from here?”

Jewish Voice for Peace? Really??

It is the privilege of Palestinians to decide who should stay in their homeland and who not.

(LONDON) - It appears that, yet again, Anti-zionist Jewish organizations are trying to silence Palestine's supporters, to frame the debate, to secure the future of their brethren in occupied Palestine and to steer the course of Liberation of our Homeland

I would invite people to hear a Palestinian voice, here...
