NOVANEWS There were other voices in the days of the prophets. The prophets Amos, Elijah, Isaiah, and Jeremiah, and all the rest, were opposed, generation after generation, by prophets who belonged to the royal courts, who assured the king that his conduct was beyond reproach. The biblical prophets were harassed as traitors ... While the official soothsayers denounced the enemies of the king, the prophets whom we revere followed after Nathan, who dared to confront King David with murdering Uriah and stealing his wife. Nathan defended this Hittite stranger ... "You are the man," he said to David: you are morally responsible. --Arthur Hertzberg. "An Open Letter to Elie Wiesel."New York Review of Books. Vol. 35, No. 13. August 18, 1988. Though you pray at length, I will not listen. Your hands ...

NOVANEWS Mark Glenn, The Ugly Truth The following is a short, insightful look into the New Testament on the Jewish question. It was compiled by the excellent Christian writer, Mark Glenn and truly shows the attitude of the New Testament toward the Zionist extremists. Please note that if anyone simply stated the direct words of the New Testament on this matter they would be called anti-Semites and hatemongers, yet, these are simply the words of the Bible. If those who quote these words are supposedly anti-Semitic, then the Bible itself is anti-Semitic by that definition! Look at the quote from Acts 14:2 for instance, “But the Jews who refused to believe stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against their brothers.” Want to have some fun?

Patriots Protest ‘Rev.’ John Hagee   By Willis A. Carto — AFP They told me in Sunday School that Jesus Christ was the “Prince of peace.” If my teachers were right, then people like Pat Robertson, John Hagee, Tim LaHaye and others of their stripe are criminals, not Christians. Robertson and Hagee are strong advocates of war. They want the U.S. to hit Iran with all we’ve got and kill as many innocent Persians as possible. Why? Because, they claim, the Iranians want to bomb their favorite country—Israel, which they believe is where God lives. According to them, God is unhappy with his peacenik Son but he likes these three slobs and their adoring camp followers. Well, this is not the first time we have noted that Robertson is no friend of ours. He once excoriated The Spotlight—our predecessor—...

NOVANEWS The recent attempted defrocking of a Catholic Bishop on a charge of “Holocaust denial” brings to the fore once again the need to review the history of World War II in a properly detached fashion. A horrible truth is that more than 55 million people died in that war and the overwhelming majority of them were not Jews. That is the holocaust we must all remember. In addition to those deaths, World War II caused the virtual destruction of Western Europe, and gave newborn communism, the invention of Jewish politicians in Russia, its chance to prove it did not work. The victory went to the best and most determined killers, and various victims tell their stories in their own ways. That is a dubious privilege of all those who suffered greatly. It gave no one the right to a story that cann...

NOVANEWS I just watched this again and the idea that it is antisemitic is so dishonest it's quite breathtaking that anyone can watch it and make that false allegation whilst keeping a straight face. The smearing of Caryl Churchill isn't a job for the hasbara flock, this is one for the hasbara professionals, seasoned smear merchants. And boy, have they been busy lately. Most of the play dwells more on the legitimate fears of Jews before it moves to Palestine and finally to Gaza and the whole thing takes the form of argument, one parent arguing one thing, the other counter-arguing and yet the the play is accused of portraying Jews as this one thing, or that one thing, or the other one thing. How can that be if Jews are arguing different points? How are Jews portrayed in an unfavourable lig...

NOVANEWS ZIONISM IN ITS FINEST HOUR   by MARK GLENN  “When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are to possess and casts out the many peoples living there, you shall then slaughter them all and utterly destroy them…You shall make no agreements with them nor show them any mercy…You shall destroy their altars, break down their images, cut down their groves and burn their graven images with fire. For you are a holy people unto the LORD thy God and He has chosen you to be a special people above all others upon the face of the earth…”  –Book of Deuteronomy, 7:1-8 The aerial assault on Gaza thus far resulting in several hundred deaths and close to a thousand casualties (much of which will result in even more deaths) must–if it is to be understood correctly–be placed within the histor...

NOVANEWS   A list of Muslim Traitors was published today in the Guardian. The list is reproduced below. Can you believe that these appeasers are actually telling British Muslims to vote Labour? Talk about uncle Toms or what. What is more shocking is that some of them such as Salma Yaqoob actually represent ANTI - Labour parties such as Respect. My view is clear. Anyone who votes Labour has the blood of a million dead Muslims on their conscience. No ifs no buts.

NOVANEWS Apropos Judaism's Culture of Death, last night I happened upon the furor created last February by 64-year-old professor and department head Ariel Toaff of Bar-Ilan University, an Orthodox Jewish institution in Israel. Toaff "is among Israel's and the world's senior researchers in medieval Jewish communities and the Italian Jewish community" and the son of the retired chief rabbi of Italy. Right: "A woodcut showing Jews performing a ritual to extract a Christian child's blood. These prints were popular in Germany and the Netherlands in the 15th Century." Source: Jerusalem Post. Here are few excerpts from articles about the author and his controversial book: An Israeli historian of Italian origin has revived "blood libel" in an historical study set to hit Italian bookstores on Thu...
