NOVANEWS 6 September - 4 October 2011 Birmingham International Film Society presents the regions first ever Human Rights Film Festival. The Festival aims to screen a range of films that investigate the notion of human rights in the 21st Century as measured against the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

What are human rights, who...

NOVANEWS  by rehmat1   No kidding! Paris-based American author, Hal Vaughan, in his new book, entitled ‘Sleeping with the Enemy: Coco Chanel’s Secret War’ has accused the French fasion icon of anti-Semitism. No; she did not criticized Jews as British fashion designerJohn Galliano did early this year. She is accused of wresting the control of the Chanel perfume line from the Jewish Wertheimer brothers in the 1940s. Chanel 5 issued a statement debunking Hal Vaughan’s lie: “She would hardly have formed a relationship with the family or counted Jewish people among her close friends and professional partners”. Let me get Chanel 5′s above statement straight. The Jewish family which made billions of dollars during the last eight decades from Coco’s perfume and using her as company’s tradem...

NOVANEWS by crescentandcross      “I have striven not to laugh at human actions, not to weep at them, nor to hate them, but to understand them.”    Baruch Spinoza Daniel Cohen  (fictitious name) is deeply admired by many. He is a humanist, an anti Zionist and he is also a man of great integrity.  A week ago, Daniel decided to challenge my views, and launched a courageous debate. Being a gracious man he might have hoped to open my eyes to some ‘categorical mistakes’ he believed I was making.  For my part, I was very open to his criticism and engaged in the dialogue. Daniel was not happy with the way the exchange has evolved. Though he circulated his comments and my interventions to his close Jewish friends, he made it clear that he wanted to stop the exchange at a certain stage.  Da...

NOVANEWS   ‘Gilad Atzmon‘s The Wandering Who? is a series of brilliant illuminations and critical reflections on Jewish ethnocentrism and the hypocrisy of those who speak in the name of universal values and act tribal. Relying on autobiographical and existential experiences, as well as intimate observations of everyday life, both informed by profound psychological insights, Atzmon does what many critics of Israel fail to do; he uncovers the links between Jewish identity politics in the Diaspora with their ardent support for the oppressive policies of the Israeli state. Atzmon provides deep insights into “neo-ghetto” politics. He has the courage – so profoundly lacking among western intellectuals - to speak truth to the power of highly placed and affluent Zionists who shape the agend...

NOVANEWS Hello everybody, My new book, “The Wandering Who? A Study Of Jewish Identity Politics”, is scheduled for release in six weeks time and it seems that the usual suspects — Zionists and their collaborators within the marginal ‘left’ — are already in a state of panic. In the last few days, my publishing house, my editors and I have been subjected to immense and intense pressure that included harassment, intimidation, and even anonymous threats, as the demands mounted on my publisher to pull the book. Leading the harassment campaign were the openly pro-war Zionist Islamophobes from “Harry’s Place”, who wrote “more now than ever, strong opposition to Atzmon and his politics is needed.”  Within minutes of the “Harry’s Place” post, Andy Newman joined in with their futile attempt at a...

NOVANEWS ’ by Omar Barghouti  This insightful research by respected Israeli scholar Nurit Peled-Elhanan will confirm what Palestinian researchers have always known: Israel’s prevailing culture of racism, fundamentalism, support for war crimes, and apartheid against Palestinians is mainly a product of an educational system that indoctrinates Jewish-Israeli students with militant colonial values and extreme racism that turn them into “monsters” once in uniform. Guardian: Academic claims Israeli school textbooks contain bias  “Nurit Peled-Elhanan of Hebrew University says textbooks depict Palestinians as ‘terrorists, refugees and primitive farmers“ “Peled-Elhanan, a professor of language and education at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, has studied the content of Israeli school books...

NOVANEWS By RICHARD WILCOX     NB–Richard Wilcox has a Ph.D. in environmental studies and lives in one of America’s far flung postmodern semi-colonies.     If modern universities were honest institutions instead of    overpriced degree mills, Imperialism 101 would be a required course    for all undergraduate students and political science majors. Eric    Walberg draws from a wide and relevant variety of sources to tell    the story which stretches throughout what he calls the three periods    of imperialism: Great Game I (classical imperialism); GGII    (Capitalism vs Communism); and GGIII The US-Israel Post Modern    Imperialism, our very frightening present day era.     Walberg’s Postmodern Imperialism reads like a whodunit novel about    the real world but would also serve as a fin...
