NOVANEWS Dear All, The international newspapers are full of yesterday’s events.  Most reports are similar in nature to the ones that I included yesterday, or rather, the links to them.  This evening instead of reiterating yesterday’s news, the first three items are perceptive commentaries. The first of these, Ben White’s “Palestine Nakba: Forever a memory,” furnishes historical detail important to understanding why Palestinian feelings about the Nakba run high.  White points how wrong Ben Gurion was in believing that when the old generation died out, the Nakba would be forgotten. In item 2 Matthew Cassel reminds us that ‘never is a refugee’s right to return brought into question==accept when the refugee is Palestinian.’ And in item 3 Richard Falk is critical of Israel and of the ...

NOVANEWS     International Monetary Fund (IMF) Director General Dominique Strauss-Kahn has been formally charged with sexual assault after attacking a maid in a New York hotel, police say. The charges included “criminal sexual act, unlawful emprisonment, attempted rape” and “assaulting a 32-year-old girl in a hotel room,” Ryan Sesa, a police deputy spokesman, told reporters. Strauss-Kahn was arrested earlier on Saturday after being taken off an Air France passenger plane at a New York airport, just as the plane was preparing for take off. He was accused of a “sex attack” on a maid at a Times Square hotel earlier in the day. The Port Authority officers were informed by the New York Police Department, whose detectives had been investigating report of a brutal attack on a wom...

NOVANEWS     In spite of Jewish 'anti Zionists' bragging about themselves being the force behind Ghada Karmi's 'pullout' from a panel event with me this Tuesday,  Ghada just wrote to me and asked me to quote her. "I'm delayed here (in Jordan) and will not be back in time for the event, and that is the reason for my not attending." I guess that Tony Greenstein and his Jewish political allies may want to consider  being  slightly more gentle with the Palestinians whom they claim to support. It may as well be important to mention that John Rose also made it clear that he would attend a panel discussion with me anytime. His reason to pullout was due to a disagreement with organizers of the panel event regarding the title of the event.  I guess that he may have a point. Though, I am ...

NOVANEWS GILAD ATZMON     http://juneterpstra.com On May, 6, 2011, embattled Jazz musician and philosopher Gilad Atzmon gave a talk at Columbia College Chicago about his intellectual and musical journey of liberation from identity supremacy and the shame of living in an oppressor state.  In tones intense and dissonant he provided definitions for Zionism, Judaism, Jewish supremacy, Israel and Palestine while contextualizing with both the saxophone and reflections on being raised in a culture where one group’s hunger for superiority, power and properties concludes with the oppression of the indigenous “other”.   Gilad gave witness to the horrific methods the Israeli states goes to attain their supremacy. While his story takes place in the land of Palestine with a state call...

NOVANEWS Shabana Syed In the coming days I will be publishing feedbacks from last night panel event . Gilad has managed to steer the international discourse through skill, knowledge and intellect into the most taboo subject in western countries, Jews and Israel. The meeting held in Central London on the subject of Zionism Jewishness and Israel headed by Gilad Atzmon included Alan Hart, Sameh Habeeb and Karl Sabbagh was a continuation of this discourse - a discourse that many Zionists and its Jewish supporters have tried to suppress. In a world where one cant mention the 'J' word without being labelled anti Semitic Gilad not only mentions the J word  and Zionism but also attempts to highlight what is the driving force that fuels the criminal barabaric policies of the state of Israel.  ...

Panel Event -Zionism, Jewishness and Israel, Is Now Online (Must Watch)   I am very proud to announce that our last week panel event is now online (see bellow). In spite of the pathetic attempts by Zionists and their Jewish ‘anti Zionist’ allies to crash the event, the panel was a great success. The room was packed. We explored some of the  most complicated issues to do with current world affairs. Some of London Jewish activists broke away from their segregated 'Jews only cells'  and marched with us. Interestingly enough, our detractors who promised to picket the event didn’t dare showing up. I believe that the panel was a crucial  contribution to this movement and freedom of thought. I vow to do it again and again and again. I will keep you posted. To watch the panel: http://ww...

NOVANEWS I was grilled yesterday by Chris Cook. Good questions, I hope that the  answers were adequate.  I could hardly hear Chris, but I think that the outcome is interesting. To listen to audio: http://www.gilad.co.uk/writings/gorilla-radio-with-chris-cook-gilad-atzmon-phil-nauta-janine.html Gilad Atzmon is known for his unsparing criticism of the policies of his former home-country, Israel and the complicity in those policies of his ex-compatriots and their supporters within the Sayanim community of diaspora Jews. He has been assailed from all sides for his uncompromising determination to speak out for human rights denied the occupied Palestinian people, remaining one of the most thoughtful and ardent proponents of justice for the victims of Israel, while his writing and le...

NOVANEWS   By Patrick J. Buchanan “John Demjanjuk Guilty of Nazi Death Camp Murders,” ran the headline on the BBC. The lede began: “A German court has found John Demjanjuk guilty of helping to murder more than 28,000 Jews at a Nazi death camp in Poland.”   Not until paragraph 17 does one find this jolting fact: “No evidence was produced that he committed a specific crime.” That is correct. No evidence was produced, no witness came forward to testify he ever saw Demjanjuk injure anyone. And the critical evidence that put Demjanjuk at Sobibor came — from the KGB. First was a KGB summary of an alleged interview with one Ignat Danilchenko, who claimed he was a guard at Sobibor and knew Demjanjuk. Second was the Soviet-supplied ID card from the Trawniki camp that trained guards. There...

NOVANEWS   Preface: Strong and gratifying interest in Ghost Troop, the mostly unreported cybercavalry unit, can only be adequately answered by a reprint of the bold interview published by the lion of Texas newspapers, The Lone Star Iconoclast. It is without alteration except for an endnote and personal note from CFR geostrategist, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Dr. Steve Pieczenik, whom broadcaster Alex Jones credits with creatingInfowars psychological operations.
