Latinos, IsraHell and Palestine: Understanding Anti-Semitism

NOVANEWS By Aurora Levins Morales I am a Puerto Rican Jew, born of Ukrainian Jews fleeing war and repression to become sweatshop organizers in 1910s New York, and landed gentry from Naranjito, turned working class migrants in 1930s Harlem and the Bronx, landing in the same garment shops a generation later. I'm also a lifelong activist historian who embraces complexity and has spent decades building alliances between people who misunderstand each other. It is true that there are specific challenges in the relations between Latin@s (those who are not Jewish) and Jews (the ones who aren't Latin@.) It's true that these challenges are deeply rooted in the anti-Semitism of the Catholic hierarchy, but the belief system that burned Jews at the stake, accused us of sacrificing Christian babies,...

Bomb-Iran Week Turns ‘Syrious’

NOVANEWS by Jim Lobe This week was supposed to be all about Iran – at least, that’s how Israel and its powerful U.S. lobby, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), had planned it – and why the U.S. should prepare to bomb it very, very soon if its leadership doesn’t cave into Western demands to abandon its nuclear program. By week’s end, however, the most urgent foreign policy issue with which U.S. policy-makers – and their media camp followers – were grappling was whether to bomb Syria first instead. Remarkably, the sudden deviation was triggered by Tuesday’s dramatic call on the floor of the Senate by Republican Sen. John McCain for the U.S. to provide decisive support to rebels battling to oust the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. “The only realistic way to do so i...

Christian – Zionist Right Explained: Money from Above; Votes from Below

NOVANEWS by Tom Valentine The educational video “Roots of Christian Zionism” presented here, is illustrative of teaching by example. I wish fervently that this great education will go viral over the Internet. It teaches me that my own bombast can never be effective in convincing others that they are obviously wrongheaded in their views. The calmer, Christian way is better, watch and see for yourself. Then be sure local pastors see it. Charles Carlson is a quiet. mild-mannered gentleman who serves by example as he most thoroughly dissects the history of Zionism’s control of American Church goers—and their millions of lockstep votes. I have ridiculed these otherwise normal Americans in my VT columns for the past year, and when I retired from Radio Free America after 16 years of ...

Occupy activists fear that America’s pro-IsraHell lobbyists want a war

NOVANEWS LAURIE PENNY “Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran!” sings the AIPAC delegate, striding cheerfully through illegal Israeli settlements in his sharp tan suit. Granted, the settlements are three feet high and made of cardboard, part of a pop-up anti-war occupation outside the conference of Israel's top lobbying group, where President Obama is due to speak. As another war in the Middle East begins to look feasible, Occupy has begun to focus its energies on foreign policy. The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful tax exempt lobby that provides campaign finance in return for promotion of what it deems Israel's interests, pushed for a war in the Middle East in 2003. Activists with the Occupy movement, along with many others, are convinced that it no...

The MEK’s Useful Idiots

NOVANEWS by Philip Giraldi If you are a Muslim American who is appalled by U.S. foreign policy, most specifically its penchant for invading Islamic countries in a bid to change their regimes, and you make the mistake of saying something to that effect on the phone or writing about your concerns in an email, there is a good chance that the FBI will come after you. You will in short order find yourself with a new friend who is a Muslim just like you and who shares your frustration with American foreign policy. At a certain point he will reveal his affiliation with a certain overseas group that is interested in obtaining revenge for all the Muslims who have been killed or injured by the United States. He will suggest that doing something about the problem would be neither sinful nor reall...

Stop the War leaders and Libya: you can’t expel the truth

NOVANEWS Record numbers turn out to vote and show their support for President Bashar Al Assad and his government. Damascus, 26 February 2012 Download this article as a statement By attempting to unconstitutionally rescind CPGB-ML’s affiliation to the Stop the War coalition, StW ‘leaders’ are behaving in a criminally sectarian and cowardly manner. Cowardly, because the Labour party, Counterfire and CPB leaders who dominate our coalition’s executive seek, by unconstitutionally expelling the CPGB-ML, to silence criticism and avoid having their failed policies on Libya in particular, and lack of consistent anti-imperialism more generally, scrutinised and overturned. They seek to avoid answering to the coalition’s membership and having the truth behind these failures exposed: that...

KEN O'KEEFE MULITI MILION EMPIRE BUILT ON GAZA'S BLOOD SHED AND SUFFERING!! GAZA STARVES KEN GET RICH!!!!

NOVANEWS By: Jo Ann Wescott Ken O'Keefe Cmmunity Interest Companies has been one of his best ways of operating his scams because, it gives him the leverage he needs to get away with his intended schemes.

I will soon share the sites I posted over a month and a half ago for you to see how exactly CIC works. Jo Ann Wescott Jo Ann Wescott This site was one of Kens other scams.

The “Global Crises of Capitalism”; Whose Crises, Who Profits?

NOVANEWS by Prof. James Petras Introduction From the Financial Times to the far left, tons of ink has been spilt writing about some variant of the “Crises of Global Capitalism”. While writers differ in the causes, consequences and cures, according to their ideological lights, there is a common agreement that “the crises” threatens to end the capitalist system as we know it. There is no doubt that, between 2008-2009, the capitalist system in Europe and the United States suffered a severe shock that shook the foundations of its financial system and threatened to bankrupt its ‘leading sectors’. However, I will argue the ‘crises of capitalism’ was turned into a ‘crises of labor’. Finance capital, the principle detonator of the crash and crises, recovered, the capitalist class as a ...
