GILAD ATZMON     A few days ago I compared two critiques of my new book ‘The Wandering Who”. One was by rabid Zionist Mark Gardner and the other by American academic Kevin MacDonald. I called my piece ‘Supremacists on The Wandering Who’. In my article I labeled Gardner as a ‘Jewish Supremacist’ and MacDonald as a ‘White Supremacist’. However, since the publication of my column it has been pointed out by a few readers that I may have been insufficiently careful in the way I attributed supremacism to Kevin MacDonald. The definition of supremacism is actually pretty straightforward. It is the belief that a particular race, species, ethnic group, religion, gender, sexual orientation, belief system or culture is superior to others, and thus entitles those who identify with it to...

PALESTINIAN SCHOOL AT RISK OF DEMOLITION A primary school for Palestinian Bedouin children in the Jerusalem area is to be destroyed after Israeli settlers pushed the military to carry out the demolition. It could be destroyed at any time. Seventy pupils from the Arab Jahalin tribe will be left without a school. Demolitions of Bedouin homes in the area are also scheduled to take place soon.   The plan to demolish the Jahalin school is part of a larger campaign to forcibly displace Bedouins who reside in the area east of Jerusalem, near to the Israeli settlements of Maale Adumim and Kfar Adumim. These Israeli settlements, like all Israeli settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, are illegal under international law. The school serves several Bedouin communities in the Khan al-Ahma...

NOVANEWS I have just delivered a letter of support and outrage from over 50 University of Haifa professors to the mosque incinerated by settler terrorists in Tuba-Zangria. It lies about 2 km east of Rosh Pina, off the road to Kfar Hanassi, close to Mahanaim airfield. It is a township of neat, colorful spaced houses, gardening, and wide streets. It is a Bedouin township, and at least one citizen I saw in IDF uniform. It was very quiet when I drove in at 9 this morning, and asked my way to the Municipality. Naively asking for where I could find members of the Town Council or its Head, I sensed a certain reticence, and was told nobody is there because it had been burnt. Finally someone explained that the Mayor does not live in Tuba-Zangria, he is a government appointee, a Mr. Zvi Fogel, not...

NOVANEWS By Ali Abunimah Quartet envoy Tony Blair has been the target of stinging criticism of late from officials close to Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas. There have even been murmurs that Abbas' officials may formally request Blair's removal. While Blair's Quartet role, which he took up the day he left office as UK prime minister in 2007, has undoubtedly been harmful to the Palestinian people and to any semblance of international law, it would not be enough to call for Blair to go. It is the Quartet itself - an ad hoc committee of US, EU and Russian officials, and the UN Secretary General, that monopolises the so-called "peace process" - that has destroyed what little credibility the United Nations has left on the question of Palestine. It functions as a front that launders I...

NOVANEWS     Mike was going to be married to Karen, so his father sat him down for a little chat. He said, “Mike, let me tell you something. On my wedding night in our honeymoon suite I took off my pants, handed them to your mother, and said, “Here – try these on.” She did and said, “These are too big, I can’t wear them.” I replied, “Exactly, I wear the pants in this family and I always will.” “And ever since that night we never had any problems”‘… “Hmmm,” said Mike. He thought that might be a good thing to try. On his honeymoon, Mike took off his pants and said to Karen, “Here – try these on.” She tried them on and said, “These are too large. They don’t fit me.” Mike said, “Exactly. I wear the pants in this family and I always will. I don’t want you to ever forget that.” ...

NOVANEWS Ronan Macfield London, (Pal Telegraph) - A number of so-called “Pro Palestinian campaigners” are planning a picket against the musician and activist, Gilad Atzmon, in London Monday, 10/10/2011. The campaigners suggest that Atzmon is harmful for the Palestinian solidarity. However, the man is reported to be one of the top critics of Israel and its deadly policies in the Middle East. A group of the so-called Pro-Palestinian campaigners, Jews for Boycotting Israeli Goods (J-Big) have called for a picket tomorrow where Atzmon will be launching his new Book, “The Wandering Who”. The Book tackles the Jewish-identity politics and how some Jews in the Diaspora support Israel. Further, it reveals a very solid fact that some of the so-called Pro Palestinian Jewish groups are working ...

NOVANEWS GILAD ATZMON Gilad Atzmon: As far as I am concerned Torah Jews are the only peaceful Jewish collective that is also coherent,  ethical and authentic. They are also totally modest.  I have never heard any of these Rabbis telling Palestinians or solidarity activists how to run the Palestinian state or how manage to solidarity movement.

NOVANEWS     ed note–as has been documented by gifted researchers such as Michael Hoffman on the subversive nature of Judaism, the Jewish prayer Kol Nidre recited every year by Jews worldwide in ushering in their ‘holiest’ festival, Yom Kippur, is the justification they use in robbing Gentiles of their money through the ‘abrogation of former oaths’.  When Gentile researchers have asserted this fact, they have been excoriated through the all-too-predictable skrieking and wailing from organized Jewish groups such as ADL and others. HOWEVER, in the following article APPEARING IN THE JEWISH FORWARD of all places (considered to be the most authoritative and prestigious of all Jewish publications)  the research of Michael Hoffman and others is vindicated. Check the red highlighted are...

“Gentlemen of the Nobel committee, history can’t wait for another year” Dr. Ashraf Ezzat Liberia’s President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf, Liberian peace activist Leymah Gbowee and Yemeni women’s rights activist Tawakul Karmanhave been named winners of the 2011 Nobel Peace Prize. The Norwegian Nobel Committee announced the names at a ceremony in the capital, Oslo, on Friday, saying the three were honoured for their “non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women’s rights to full participation in peace-building work”. Geir Lundestad, director of the Norwegian Nobel Institute, told the media that it was a conscious decision to award this year’s prize to women. Well, in response to Mr. Lundestad and judging from his own statement and barely recovering from the totally unwise decision of...

NOVANEWS   Cf. "Some 25 tombstones were vandalized at two Jaffa cemeteries belonging to Muslims and Christians. The messages 'Death to Arabs' and 'Price tag' were spray painted on the graves. Police forces arrived at the site and launched an investigation into the incident, but no suspects had been arrested for the time being. President Shimon Peres condemned the vandalism acts at Jaffa’s Christian and Muslim cemeteries, referring to them as 'despicable acts that disgrace us and contradict the moral values of Israeli society.'"
