NOVANEWS December 3, 2010 by Debbie Menon     ED NOTE: Philip Shelley from Westminster, California, shares these moving speeches of  the blighted children of Gaza, narrated by bright young Palestinian girls. Was it Emerson who said: “The only way to have a friend is to be one.” ? Can we telll these children of Gaza, tomorrow will be better ? Philip J. Shelley Just felt like I had to share this. I truly honestly hope somehow I can help and show the world to overcome and free itself from the jewish stranglehold Zionism has on it. I also hope to visit Palestine to help the children there who probably need all the protection and guidance they can get and maybe even one day (soon hopefully) help them take back all of Palestine. They inherited it from the Canaanites and I feel partially res...

NOVANEWS December 2, 2010 Gilad Atzmon Disaster in the North of 'Israel', at least 40 dead as fire rages across the Carmel Mountains. A mass evacuation has begun. As I am writing these lines, 'Israeli' Fire fighting crews are battling with the flames. They also express no hope of controlling the fire soon. "We lost all control of the fire," said the Haifa Fire fighting services spokesman. "There aren't enough fire fighting resources in Israel in order to put out the fire." Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hurried to the scene of the fire on Thursday. He requested the help of the U.S, Greece, Italy, Russia, and Cyprus to send additional forces to aid the 'Israeli' firemen. A normal country would probably ask for the help of its neighbours, but the Jewish state doesn’t have neighbours. It ...

NOVANEWS Is Assange being an “anarchist” a bad thing? Wikileaks here to stay so take that What’s a few cluster bombs between mates? Where’s the media guts over Wikileaks? Wikileaks unloads on the vestiges of our faux democracy   Is Assange being an “anarchist” a bad thing? 02 Dec 2010 Yet another mainstream media story focused on US “embarrassment” over the Wikileaks documents.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton personally made “se...

NOVANEWS In This Issue... Correction to the disclaimer, and Happy Hanukkah More Recent Articles Search The Only Democracy? Correction to the disclaimer, and Happy Hanukkah   By Jesse Bacon On Tuesday, I posted about a free documentary screening. I then edited that post when I learned that the film received Israeli government funding. I provided the disclaimer for folks who are observing the full cultural boycott of Israel, (which my sponsor Jewish Voice for Peace is not). However, it turns out that the actual call for cultural boycott does not demand the boycott of films simply for receiving government funding, only those that are used to promote the government in some way.   Many thanks to the readers who pointed out both the funding and the actual ca...

NOVANEWS December 02, 2010 Human shield case update News in from the only democracy in the Middle East.  Zio=Nazi soldiers found guilty of using a 9 year old as a human shield will not be going to jail for their crime.  Here's YNET: Nazi Military prosecutors decided not to appeal the sentence of two Zio-Nazi soldiers who forced a nine-year-old Palestinian to open suspicious bags during Gaza HOLOCAUST.
