NOVANEWS “This dynamic volume [Germany Must Perish!] outlines a comprehensive plan for the extinction of the German nation and the total eradication from the earth, of all her people.” “It is a definite obligation which the world owes to those who struggled and died against the German yesterday, and to those who are fighting him again today, as it is the bounden duty of the present generation to those yet unborn, to make certain that the vicious fangs of the German serpent shall never strike again. And since the venom of those fangs derives its fatal poison not from within the body, but from the war-soul of the German, nothing else would assure humanity safety and security but that that war-soul be forever expunged, and the diseased carcass which harbors it forever removed from this worl...

NOVANEWS Jewish opponents of Zionism understood the movement since its early age as one that shared the precepts of anti-Semitism in its diagnosis of what gentile Europeans called the "Jewish Question". What galled anti-Zionist Jews the most, however, was that Zionism also shared the "solution" to the Jewish Question that anti-Semites had always advocated, namely the expulsion of Jews from Europe.  It was the Protestant Reformation with its revival of the Hebrew Bible that would link the modern Jews of Europe to the ancient Hebrews of Palestine, a link that the philologists of the 18th century would solidify through their discovery of the family of "Semitic" languages, including Hebrew and Arabic. Whereas Millenarian Protestants insisted that contemporary Jews, as descendants of the anci...

NOVANEWS by Paul Larudee Without regard to the validity of Joseph Massad’s exposition of the historical and dialectic relationship between Zionism and anti-Semitism, why is Massad trying to justify the Palestine liberation movement on the basis that it is a battle against anti-Semitism? Of course, Massad is by no means the only Palestinian to make Jewish issues and anti-Semitism central to the Palestinian struggle. Ali Abunimah has made something of a campaign of assuring the Jewish community that the Palestine liberation movement is free of anti-Semitism. In addition, several large Palestinian solidarity organizations and coalitions have anti-anti-Semitism as one of their core statements. Since when are Palestinian rights and liberation about Jews, Jewish issues and anti-Semitism? Why ar...

NOVANEWS By: Jim Craven LACKFOOT’S PERSPECTIVE ON ZIONISM (FROM STAN GOFF’S THE FERAL SCHOLAR) FROM The Feral Scholar Blog of Stan Goff Mark Jones’ Crashlist One of Mark’s [Jones] ideas for the [former "Crashlist"] list, one the moderators share I’m sure, is that the list could be used to share weapons of struggle. Anyone who has done serious mass work, I mean the kind away from the keyboard, knows that sometimes a pithy quote, an uncovered source, an irrefutable fact, a way of phrasing, a piece of reasoning, hypocrisy exposed, an infiltrator outed, a great “expert” really grilled, etc can cause a kind of critical mass and cause all sorts of people from all sorts of backgrounds to take a quantum leap in consciousness or at least take a fork in the road on a whole new direction. I ...

NOVANEWS BY MichelleDevlin  March through Tacoma, Washington, May 18th 2013 One of America's most tragic figures, Leonard Peltier, who unjustly remains behind bars after 37 years for a crime he most certainly did not committ, was the inspiration for a peaceful march Saturday in Tacoma, Washington. Photographer Damien Conway described the event in one word, 'powerful'. Sombre but resolute, the faces of the protesters betrayed the deep emotion this case engenders, as the man who is considered to be a Native American 'political prisoner' by Amnesty International still waits for justice to be served in the land his ancestors have inhabited for thousands of years. "I think I can explain beyond serious doubt, that Leonard Peltier has committed no crime whatsoever," said former US Attou...

NOVANEWS This is Joseph Massad. Ali Abunimah's Electronic Intifada says all the Jews/Zionists (choose whichever you like - they're all pretty much the same) are going mad because of the threat this man poses to them. Relax guys. You've nothing to worry about. Massad spouts the Jewish (anti-Zio division), line perfectly. It is Israel's claims that it represents and speaks for all Jews that are the most anti-Semitic claims of all. By Joseph Massad Jewish opponents of Zionism understood the movement since its early age as one that shared the precepts of anti-Semitism in its diagnosis of what gentile Europeans called the "Jewish Question". What galled anti-Zionist Jews the most, however, was that Zionism also shared the "solution" to the Jewish Question that anti-Semites had always advocated...

NOVANEWS By: GILAD ATZMON Ahead of my talk in Oakland CA on May 15th 2013 I was confronted by an enthusiast Zionist woman who asked me to elaborate on some of my most controversial statements. She is very funny and like our AZZ hardly familiar with the terminology or the facts.   Gilad Atzmon on Synagogues and Rationality from Gilad Atzmon onVimeo.

NOVANEWS Cyrus II the Great and the Hebrews, from Flavius Josephus’ illuminated by Jean Fouquet c. 1470-1475. Public Domain. Courtesy of Wikipedia.   by Florence Leone mycatbirdseat.com The reaction of Jewish leaders to  “The Inheritance of Abraham,” casts in high relief distressing characteristics of Hebrew scripture and Zionist practice.  In contrast, the history and culture of Iran are more in tune with the teaching and actions of Jesus that Christians profess to value, as well as of universal human values. What is so special about Abraham?  Why does the Church of Scotland feel bound to the so-called Abrahamic tradition? Look at Abraham critically:  his behavior is, shall we say, not very appealing.  His earliest public act was to destroy the religious icons of other people’s beliefs....
