NOVANEWS Humanitarian workers and rights activists in Gaza are helping locals put their lives back together after the three-week-long Zio=Nazi offensive. Many aid workers were in the region during the fighting and came under fire along with residents. One such Aid worker is 31-year old Eva Barnett from Canada. "The way the war in Gaza was being portrayed in much of the media was not the real picture,” Barnett said an activist with the International Solidarity movement. ”It was a heartless attack on the people of Gaza, it was not about Hamas.” Barnett came to Gaza both to help the Palestinian people and to tell the world about her experiences there. She met one Palestinian farmer to find out more about how his helper was killed. “You come to this area; it’s 700 meters from the border and p...

NOVANEWS There is little-known point that Zionist state of ‘Israel’ had a secret agenda vis-�-vis Islamic fundamentalist groups such as Hamas, that the Zionist had a long, well-documented history of propping up Islamic fundamentalism (including terrorist organizations) for its own purposes. According to the Post on January 7, 2009, the newspaper’s foreign correspondent Glenn Kessler revealed: “In the 1980s . . . the Israeli government decided to weaken the secular Fatah movement headed by Palestine Liberation Organization [PLO] Chairman Yasser Arafat by promoting the rise of Islamic parties as a counterweight, on the theory that Islamic groups would not have the same nationalistic impulses. So Fatah’s social networks were dismantled by the Israeli government, but it went easy on Islamic ch...

NOVANEWS It's not easy for anyone living in a city being pounded by Nazi=Zionist F-16 fighter jets. But when your wife is in the ninth month of pregnancy and about to give birth at any moment it is nerve-racking. On Saturday, when the first strikes started, I was at my office. I tried to call Alaa's mobile but the network was down. My mother, who lives next door, reassured me that my wife was fine. In fact, Alaa was not fine at all. The impact from an explosion blew her to the wall after she tried to open the windows to protect them from smashing. My mother eventually managed to get her to the nearest clinic – the main hospital was in chaos dealing with casualties. The baby was fine but Alaa suffered from trauma. Staying in the house, as we've been doing for nearly four days, we've been cl...

NOVANEWS Much of Gaza's public infrastructure has been destroyed and the territory is in a "critical emergency" after seven days of devastating bombing with air strikes averaging one every 20 minutes, the UN said yesterday. \Zio=Nazi yesterday targeted the homes and destroyed a mosque in Gaza. A young boy was killed by an Zionist bomb east of Gaza City and three children died in the southern town of Khan Yunis. The military said it hit 35 targets, including homes, smuggling tunnels and buildings storing weapons. Despite Zionist's insistence that there was no humanitarian crisis, senior UN officials in Jerusalem said there were shortages of food, water, medical supplies and even cash. "By any definition this is a humanitarian crisis and more," said Max Gaylard, the UN humanitarian co-ordina...

  “The amount of death and destruction is inconceivable” Safa Joudeh writing from the occupied Gaza Strip, Live from Palestine, December 27 & 28 2008 It was just before noon when I heard the first explosion. I rushed to my window and barely did I get there and look out when I was pushed back by the force and air pressure of another explosion. For a few moments I didn’t understand but then I realized that Israeli promises of a wide-scale offensive against the Gaza Strip had materialized. Zio-Nazi Foreign Minister Tzpi Livni’s statements following a meeting with Egyptian Puppet Hosni Mu-Barak the day before yesterday had not been empty threats after all. What followed seems pretty much surreal at this point. Never had we imagined anything like this. It all happened so fast but th...

NOVANEWS By Michael Ben-Yair The Zionist dream's realization and the Jewish people's national rebirth through the creation of Israel were achieved not because of the Jewish side's superior number of tanks, planes or other aggressive means. The State of Israel was born because the Zionist movement realized it must find a solution to the Jews' persecution and because the enlightened world recognized the need for that solution. The enlightened world's recognition of the solution's moral justification was an important, principal factor in Israel's creation. In other words, Israel was established on a clear, recognized moral base. Without such a moral base, it is doubtful whether the Zionist idea would have become a reality. The Six-Day War was forced upon us; however, the war's seventh day, wh...
