NOVANEWS   by crescentandcross            Mr. King, I recently heard that you are calling for a congressional investigation into the Islamic threat to these united States. While I agree Islamic fundamentalism is a tangible threat to the American people, I would like to issue a challenge to you and your colleagues: please call for a congressional investigation in Israel’s premeditated attack upon the USS LIBERTY on June 8, 1967. The Israeli “Defense” Forces murdered 34 American servicemen, and President Johnson, Admiral McCain, and Admiral Kidd ordered a cover-up! This betrayal of our servicemen was done so Jewish donors to the Democrat Party would support Johnson in his 1968 Presidential bid (of course later he chose not to run again)!!! The attack upon the USS LIBERTY resulted in the gr...

NOVANEWS  When and where will Israel’s Tucson be? More Recent Articles Search The Only Democracy?   By Jesse Bacon By rights it should have been in 1995, when Yitzhak Rabin was assassinated. But the  man  who  took  over  for him  as  Prime  Minister after appearing at a rally where he was depicted as a Nazi is Prime Minister  again. And Rabin’s party was just split into its final tiny segments. And the current mania doesn’t just target politicians, it targets human rights activists, as in this U.S.   comic comparing Palestinians and their allies to vermin. I got this email from  Anarchists Against the Wall, Right-wing demonstration today outside the home of Rav. Arik Ascherman, director of Rabbis for Human Rights. The demonstration has been licenced by poli...

NOVANEWS This is surreal. JVP’s Muzzlewatch has an article on Stand With Us’s latest production. The right-wing Zionist group, Stand With Us has recently produced a children’s magazine which Muzzlewatch correctly points out is racist. Unabashedly in-your-face racist. Muzzlewatch focuses on the figure of the BDS-serpent which Captain Israel slays in issue 2 (no, I’m not making this up) and the serpent’s resemblance to traditional antisemitic portrayal of the Jewish menace. In their words: Where on earth did they get the inspiration to portray the Palestinian and international human rights groups that support the BDS movement as a big, fanged, serpent? As vermin? And then I remembered I had seen it in different (Genesis inspired) anti-Semitic propaganda about ‘conniving’ Jews, and thought, w...

NOVANEWS No More Tears: Tell the Profiteers at CSI to Stop Selling Tear Gas to Israel   Targeting: # Leo Helmers and James C. Shevlet, Jr., The Carlyle Group, # Michael Monteleone, Point Lookout Capital, and Don Smith, CEO Combined Systems Inc. Started by: CODEPINK On Thursday women’s and civic groups from across Israel and Palestine flooded the streets to mourn Jawaher Abu Rahma, an activist who was participating in a weekly demonstration against Israel’s land confiscations and separation wall when she was hit with tear gas fumes, collapsed, and died on New Years’ Eve. Jawaher is only the most recent protester killed or seriously injured by the tear gas purchased from Pennsylvania-based company Combined Systems Inc. and fired by the Israeli military. Jawaher’s brother was killed alm...

NOVANEWS   Dear friends, Ivory Coast is on the brink of war. But if cocoa companies cut off revenue to the brutal and ousted leader who is clinging to power, he'll be unable to pay his soldiers and could be forced to step down. Click to send an immediate message to the CEOs of chocolate companies urging them to back democracy and peace:  Ivory Coast, called the 'pearl of West Africa', is on the brink of civil war -- and chocolate companies could play a critical role in stopping the bloodshed.  Despite losing elections in November and united international pressure and sanctions to remove him, Laurent Gbagbo is clinging to power. Revenues and tariffs from cocoa, the country’s largest export, are bankrolling his brutal army that has murdered hundreds of winning party supporters. If...

NOVANEWS   11, 2011    Gilad Atzmon The previously secretive campaign to halt Press TV Ltd, the British production company, from making programs critical of Western Imperialism, is finally out in the open.Thanks to Wikileaks. Last month, Julian Assange’s incredible agency, released the news Her Majesty's Government (HMG) is now fully implicated in efforts to shut Press TV Ltd down. Backing, quite clearly, US led efforts, to cripple this tiny, yet heavyweight, British production company. Let me explain. Ever since it first began making programs some four years ago, Press TV Ltd (the British company, who sells documentaries and series to the Iranian channel of the same name), has been under pressure from what Princess Diana would have known as 'dark Forces.' Pressure had taken ...

NOVANEWS January 10, 2011      Gilad Atzmon     For years  Israelis and  Zionists have been pumping  'Shoah' into our veins by using every possible propaganda outlet: media, education, Hollywood, music, literature, billboards and so on. Seemingly they have been very successful : We are all properly ' Holocausted '. We accept the suffering of the Jewish people -- and we have even managed to draw a universal message from it all. We do accept that a real Shoah is taking place in front of our eyes in Palestine, where the Jewish state locks millions of Palestinians behind bars: it starves them,  it stops medical supplies, food, cement, and educational materials from getting in. But it does not stop there -- when the Jewish state feels like it, it also kills Palestinians indiscrimina...

NOVANEWS   Ian Buruma Ian Buruma is Professor of Democracy and Human Rights at Bard College. His latest book is Taming the Gods: Religion and Democracy on Three Continents. 2011-01-07 JERUSALEM – Israel has been welcoming some rather peculiar visitors of late. The Dutch populist, Geert Wilders, is a frequent caller, telling sympathetic audiences that Israel is on the front line of the Western war against Islam. And, in December, a delegation of European far-right politicians toured Jewish settlements on the occupied West Bank, pleasing their hosts by reassuring them that this was “Jewish land.” Some of these “friends of Israel” represent political parties whose supporters, to put it mildly, have not traditionally been noted for their fraternal feelings towards Jews. Heinz-Christian Strac...

NOVANEWS 9 Jan 2011   The Israeli lobby shot down the Seattle Mideast Awareness Campaign “Israel war crimes, your tax dollars at work” – billboards that were to be posted on the sides of buses in the Seattle area. Israel and its murderous activities are strictly off limits when it comes to matters concerning freedom of speech.
