NOVANEWS Oct 19, 2010 The one and only Keith Johnson of http://revoltoftheplebs.wordpress.com returns to the program as we discuss the latest ‘pronouncement’ coming out of Israel from Rabbi Ovadiah Yosef concerning how Gentiles were created for one purpose only–to serve the Jews.  jackie cox October 20, 2010 To read what you say, in their Talmud is correct, It states the golem was greated from a pile of dust, a halfling ment to do the Jews wprk, It further states our property may be claimed by them, and whatever they must do to acquire earths assets is OK, Deceit, murder, its all OK, I have studied the major populations of judaism, elements of secular communities; hassidic, orthodox, ultraorthodox, whereby the eldest son inherits control of the families assets, he himself owns 5...

NOVANEWS October 17, 2010 by Joe Cortina Summer of 1989 Trip Changed My American Perspective on Israel and It’s Unique Special Status Given to it by Our U.S. Congress My name is Joe Cortina. I am a retired Florida businessman who has done substantial world traveling;  some purely as a ‘tourist’ and, some in areas shall I say,  ‘nothing to do with vacationing’. I am a former airborne special operations commander and have done intelligence investigator work for over 15years – some of it overseas – mostly in Central America – but also in the Mid-East. My political posture is ‘conservative’ and my religious values are Christian. Exposing lies and revealing the truth was what I did professionally for a long time. I have hunted REAL terrorists in jungles with Salvadorian Rangers and Marines – s...

NOVANEWS Uri Avnery October 16, 2010 WILL GERMANY enact a law that demands that every Turk aspiring to citizenship swear allegiance to the “German Federal Republic, the Nation-State of the German People”? Sounds like a ridiculous idea. Will the US Senate adopt a law that would compel every candidate for citizenship to swear allegiance to “The United States of America, the Nation State of the…” Of whom? “The American People”? “The Anglo-Saxon People”? “The Christian People”? An absurd idea. But the Knesset is about to enact a law that demands from every non-Jew who desires Israeli citizenship to swear allegiance to “The State of Israel, the Nation-State of the Jewish people”. It seems that our benighted law-makers do not see anything questionable about this. And there already hovers in the ...

NOVANEWS ALAN HART: Yes indeed, show us all the map! October 16, 2010 by Alan Hart That’s a completely logical and totally reasonable demand. By Alan Hart Better late than never, a very senior Palestinian official in Ramallah, Yasser Abed Rabbo, found the right way to challenge Israel and the U.S. As reported by AFP on 13 October, he said, “We officially demand that the US administration and the Israeli government provide a map of the borders of the state of Israel which they want us to recognise.” That’s a completely logical and totally reasonable demand. IF Israel was interested in peace on terms virtually all Palestinians and most other Arabs and Muslims everywhere could accept, the map provided would show Israel with borders as they were on the eve of the 1967 war. An accompanying n...

NOVANEWS Anti-Defamation League smears peace groups, Jewish Voice for Peace on top 10 More Recent Articles Search MuzzleWatch Anti-Defamation League smears peace groups, Jewish Voice for Peace on top 10 Under Abraham Foxman’s leadership, the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is an embarrassment. It calls itself the “nation’s premier civil rights/human relations agency,” dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry and protecting the civil rights for all. But there’s a critical exception– “all” does not include those it considers a threat to the Israeli government. This is a terrible shame, in part, because the ADL  (especially in local offices) does so many good things- speaking out against bullying, criticizing a lawmaker’s “shoot to kill” attitude towards immigrants,...

NOVANEWS In This Issue... Settler-style thugs operating inside Israel More Recent Articles Search The Only Democracy?   by Jesse Bacon One after another, the parallels to fascism pile up in Israel, like the sticks (which is what the root of Fascism means) on a fire. Now a town in Israel has adopted perhaps the most visible feature of many a dictatorship: paramilitary police. The settlers have long functioned in this role in the Occupied Territories, but in the borderless Israeli occupation such methods do not stay contained. What’s more the mission of the militia sounds uncomfortably like the thousands of “sundown towns” of American racism, keep ethnically-defined “outsiders” out of a town with the threat of violence. Gush Shalom sounds the alarm. Carmiel Deputy Mayor Oren Mi...

NOVANEWS 10/15/2010 The Jewish Republic of Israel The Jewish Republic of Israel Swearing an oath to a Jewish State will decide its fate.  It is liable to turn the country into a theocracy like Saudi Arabia.   Excerpt:  “Over the weekend, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel issued a blacklist of legislation: a loyalty law for Knesset members; a loyalty law for film production; a loyalty law for non-profits; putting the Palestinian catastrophe, the Nakba, beyond the scope of the law; a ban on calls for a boycott; and a bill for the revocation of citizenship.” By Gideon Levy 10/10/10 Remember this day. It’s the day Israel changes its character. As a result, it can also change its name to the Jewish Republic of Israel, like the Islamic Republic of Iran. Granted, the loyalty oath bill...

NOVANEWS Your Brain On Zionism  October 15, 2010 by crescentandcross   Dear God in heaven I wish these people would come down from their high just long enough to at least be consistent in their statements. One day it’s “this” and the next day it’s “that”. But then, what more are we to expect from junkies? Depending on their blood/Zionism level, reality can be a constantly-changing stream of consciousness for them where a beautiful woman suddenly turns into Godzilla or a flower morphs into the giant man-eating Venus Fly Trap from the movie Little Shop of Horrors. Take for example the latest slurred speech coming from Sarah Palin who–under the influence–envisions herself as the next Queen of Planet Earth and who had the following to say in an interview with one of the more notorious o...

NOVANEWS The idea of the kibbutzim was beguiling to many socialist Jews looking at different ways of living in the world: agricultural communes, the seeds of the new society germinating in the interstices of the old, and all that saccharine stuff. The anarchist publisher AK Press recently put out a book by James Horrox entitled, A Living Revolution: Anarchism in the Kibbutz Movement. It was very positively reviewed by Keith Kahn-Harris in the Forward (not a shock). Curious to see what exactly Horrox had to say, I had been thinking of reading it. Asa Winstanley has convinced me that it may not be worth it. In a review essay originally published in the New Left Project, Winstanley dissects the Utopian visions of the founders of the kibbutzim by sharply reminding us that they were nearly unif...

NOVANEWS MOHAMMED ABDULLAH GUL: A RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS OF THE “WIKILEAKS CRISIS” October 13, 2010 by General Hamid Gul WIKILEAKS, AFGHANISTAN AND PAKISTAN By Mohammed Abdullah Gul Associate Editor for Veterans Today and Al Jazeera On 25 July 2010, the New York Times carried an explosive story by Mark Mazzetti, Jane Perlez, Eric Schmitt and Andrew W. Lehren about some 92,000 classified Pentagon documents which had passed into the hands of Wikileaks, a Sweden-based whistleblower website headed by Julian Assange. Ostensibly, the leak sent shock waves through the US Administration – not just for the sheer volume of the leaked material but also because the revelations could significantly affect the course of the war in Afghanistan. The documents comprised a host of field intelligence repor...
