MUST JEWS SPEAK OUT?

NOVANEWS I'm following on David's post below. Jonathan Freedland wrote that left rhetoric implies that if Jews refuse to dissociate themselves from Israel, then they are fair game for abuse and attack until they publicly recant. There are a few deep flaws in the arguments leading to this conclusion. First, to be clear, this is not left rhetoric. And it is not Muslim rhetoric. These are wrong and defamatory accusations and Freedland's examples do not build a case against any organization or speaker. Comparing Jack Straw and Galloway is ridiculous. Straw attacked a dress code associated with Islam. Galloway attacked an army committing enormous crimes. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that racist rhetoric exists on the fringe of demonstrations against Israel and that people do act on it. The...

YAQOOB DENIES '' SELF INTEREST'' OVER GAZA

NOVANEWS 27-01-2009 Birmingham councillor SALMA YAQOOB has hit out at suggestions that she’s been trying to make capital out of the Gaza crisis.  The accusation was made by the city’s deputy leader Paul Tilsley, in an email leaked to The Stirrer. Tilsely revealed that he had risked a split in the ruling Conservative/Lib Dem alliance by reluctantly backing calls for a protest march during shopping hours on Saturday 17 January. That put him at odds with the Tory cabinet member for Transport Len Gregory. In a stinging pay off he added, “I also wish to make clear that by her actions Selma Yacoob [sic] has sought at every turn to make political capital out of Gaza”. YAQOOB, who heads Birmingham’s Stop The War coalition as well as being a Respect councillor reacted angrily, saying:  “That’s disg...

ZIO-NAZI STATE OF 'ISRAEL'

The pornographic mass slaughter perpetrated by Nazi/Zionist in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, 27 December, once again reveals the Nazi nature of the Zionist state. It also underscores the genocide nature and brutal ugliness of the Zionist mentality, a mentality based on and shaped by murder, bullying, coercion, aggression, brutality and criminality. Furthermore, it shows that Zionist is capable, both mentally and physically, of carrying out a real Holocaust against the Palestinian people and other peoples of the Middle East. In fact, it is quite safe to say that there are no moral restrictions that would prevent Zionist from committing the unthinkable, namely a campaign of extermination against the Palestinian people. Zionism is simply Nazism, pure and simple, and the Nazi army is in fact “th...

ZIONIST ONE-OFF PERMIT ?

NOVANEWS Due to Israel's restrictions on exports from the Gaza Strip, lulav traders and growers in Gaza were once again denied their livelihood this year. Meanwhile, buyers of lulavs, the young shoots of palm trees used as part of the religious rituals associated with the week-long Jewish Festival of Sukkot, which began last Friday night (October 2), were forced to pay higher prices due to the decreased supply. Israel’s one-off permit to export lulavs from the Gaza Strip, which was received about three days before the holiday began, did not give the traders sufficient notice to arrange the transfer of the goods to the market in time. Lulavs are in great demand in Israel in the weeks leading up to the holiday, but become worthless once the festival begins.In the final analysis, the export ...

MUSLIM TRAITORS

NOVANEWS Posted: Thu Jan 03, 2008 5:54 pm     Post subject: Muslim Traitors   A list of Muslim Traitors was published today in the Guardian. The list is reproduced below. Can you believe that these appeasers are actually telling British Muslims to vote Labour? Talk about uncle Toms or what. What is more shocking is that some of them such as SALMA YAQOOB actually represent ANTI - Labour parties such as RESPECT. My view is clear. Anyone who votes Labour has the blood of a million dead Muslims on their conscience. No ifs no buts.

SALMA YAQOOB ON BHUTTO

NOVANEWS December 29, 2007  at 3:15 am Anyone understand what ‘Respect Renewal’’s only credible figure means by the following (in yesterday’s Morning Star)? “In Britain, Birmingham RESPECT councillor SALMA YAQOO told of her shock at Ms Bhutto’s death, noting that she had been ‘an iconic figure ?? in the context of being a woman who returned from exile to stand for election.’ “Ms YAQOOB pointed out that ‘the war on terror has been disatrous for the country,’ saying ‘There is no doubt that it was a contributing factor in what happened today.’”

ONE APARTHEID STATE

NOVANEWS Three racist, discriminatory decisions undermine Israel's democratic character Yossi Paritzky One of the clearest rules that distinguishes a democratic state from a non-democratic state is the principle of equality when it comes to rights and obligations. In a democratic country, all citizens regardless of race, religious, gender or origin are entitled to equality when it comes to national assets, services and resources, and all citizens regardless of race, religion, gender or origin are equally obligated by national duties. For example, in a democratic country everyone must pay taxes (although at different rates, of course,) and everyone must obey the law. On the other hand, every citizen in a democratic state is entitled to enjoy individual freedoms. One is entitled to purchase ...

SALMA SUPPORT ZIONIST HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

NOVANEWS Here's a curious piece in the European Jewish Press. Apparently Respect was behind the Holocaust Memorial Day. The Muslim Council of Britain has been castigated by various Zionists in the media for boycotting HMD. Well now Respect's support for the event has caused great disgruntlement to Zionists. Check this: We believe that Respect may have organised this Holocaust Memorial Day event as a political ploy to inoculate them against what so called future charges of anti-Semitism. When they attack the Zionists in future, they will point to their embrace of Holocaust Memorial Day to demonstrate that their criticism is purely about the Zionist state of ‘Israel’ and that they care very much about Jews. The question is what does Salma yakov Respect councillor and Respect have to do to ap...

RESPECT? Are they having a laugh?

NOVANEWS Sunday 25 January saw the formal launch, amid much fanfare, of George Galloway and the SWP’s new project, the Respect Unity Coalition, rather unfortunately abbreviated to RUC. RESPECT, we are told, is itself an acronym, which stands for ‘respecting equality, socialism, peace, environmentalism, community and trade unionism’. In the run-up to the launch, the ‘unity coalition’ aspect of the new group’s name was more emphasised, perhaps in response to Ken Livingstone’s threat of legal action, since Respect is also the name of London’s annual anti-racism festival. While Galloway has dismissed this threat as trivial and insulting (“Nobody can confuse an annual festival with a ballot paper for an election. He obviously feels his electors are morons”), it is notable that any mention of t...
