NOVANEWS Left roots need to make common cause with libertarian right on the issue 2 visiting Israeli crusaders lay the problem at the feet of American Jews Goldstone will attend grandson’s bar mitzvah Brandeis students prepare to protest Michael Oren commencement speech Left roots need to make common cause with libertarian right on the issue Posted: 24 Apr 2010 09:33 AM PDT Republican Ron  Paul gave a great speech on the House floor about special interests pushing us to war in Iran. Last year at J Street, leftleaning Dem congressman Bob Filner said the same thing: "On the issue of Israel, people are taking positions that could lead to war on the basis of…’Am I going to get a campaign contribution?’… The dangerous thing here is that people are making decisions– you could...

NOVANEWS by: Natalie Evans . Published Fri 05 Feb 2010 Ricky Tomlinson Royle Family star Ricky Tomlinson wants to stand for parliament at the General Election. Left-winger Ricky aims to run against Luciana Berger - one of "Brown's Babes" selected from an all-woman shortlist to contest what was regarded as a safe Labour seat. Actor Ricky needs to overturn the majority of 5,173 in Liverpool Wavertree scored by long-serving MP Jane Kennedy who resigned is stepping-down. Ricky decided to stand because he is incensed that Labour selected Londoner Luciana Berger who was "parachuted" into the seat in controversial circumstances. Scouser Ricky will seek the backing of the the Socialist Labour Party, of which he is a member, to stand as its official candidate. If selected to run Ricky said his...

NOVANEWS Luciana Berger - A Symbol of all That is Politically Corrupt in New Labour A Vote Against this former Director of Labour Friends of Israel is a vote for the Left If there is one person who symbolises the rotten and corrupt state of New Labour in Britain today then step forward Luciana Berger, former Director of Labour Friends of Israel. She was parachuted in the previously rock solid Labour seat of Wavertree by Jane Kennedy, the former Labour MP and another LFI supporter. This was done via the imposition of an all-woman shortlist. Interesting how feminism today is used to bolster the Right, just as anti-racism of the ‘anti-Semitism’ variety is used to support racism! Berger has no connections with Liverpool. She couldn’t even name the legendary manager of Liverpool Bill Shank...

NOVANEWS How Low Can the Zionists Stoop? South African Zionist Federation Threatens to 'Picket' the Bar Mitzvah of Judge Richard Goldstone's grandson You have to hand to the Zionist leaders. However low you think they’ll stoop – false accusations of ‘anti-semitism’, shouting ‘Hitler was right’ at Jewish demonstrators, shooting protestors and blatantly covering it up, lying over the slightest thing, stealing others’ lands, using white phosphorous on schools – they demonstrate an unnerving ability to sink even lower on the scale of humanity. Judge Richard Goldstone, who one should remember is himself a Zionist of a liberal persuasion, has rapidly become the most anti-semitic creature on Earth. And why? Because he dared to tell at least part of the truth about the one-sided Gaza conflict tha...

NOVANEWS ‘Open synagogues’ is just rhetoric RICHARD GOLDSTONE Business Day, Published: 2010/04/22 I read with dismay Chief Rabbi Goldstein’s article in yesterday’s Business Day. I was dismayed that the chief rabbi would so brazenly politicise the occasion of my 13-year-old grandson’s bar mitzvah to engage in further personal attacks on me. I am prepared to respond fully to those attacks, but not in the run-up to my grandson’s bar mitzvah. He and his family have been working for close to a year preparing for the once-in-a-lifetime rite of passage into the Jewish community. Of all people, the chief rabbi should be aware of the importance of this. Yet, for whatever reasons, Chief Rabbi Goldstein would rather focus on me. I was further dismayed when I read his article because his rhetoric abou...

NOVANEWS Celebrations of Zionist Apartheid Will Not Go Undisturbed From Paris to London to Scotland and San Francisco, the message is clear. No longer will Zionism be allowed to go undisturbed and unhindered. However close their links with the police and however many security goons they employ and whatever the silky PR of Mark Regev, the message is the same. Zionism is tarnished goods. As more and more people understand that racism, in all its manifestations, must be opposed, so Zionist advocates will face an increasingly difficult time. In France the Mayor of Paris Bertrand Delanoe decided to rename a promenade last Thursday April 15th. And he chose Zionism’s primary war criminal, the chief ethnic cleanser and proponent of the expulsion of ¾ million Arabs in 1947-8, David Ben-Gurion, to n...

NOVANEWS Protest: Gil Scott-Heron: Don't Play apartheid Israel! Date: Saturday, April 24, 2010 Time: 6:15pm - 8:30pm Location: outside Royal Festival Hall, Southbank, London Meet at 6.15pm outside Royal Festival Hall, London (to protest as people go into the concert that starts at 7.30pm) Bring banners. placards, flags, drums, etc Gil Scott Heron was part of the United Artists Against Apartheid in the early 80’s. He sang against Apartheid and against artists playing at Sun City (he's the fellow in sunglasses, doing the spoken word part): Shockingly he has a concert date booked in Tel Aviv on 25th May 2010. We must get the concert cancelled! By performing in Israel Gil Scott Heron would violate the almost unanimously endorsed Palestinian civil society call for Boycotts, Divestments, and San...

NOVANEWS  This is funny, funny coincidental rather than funny funny. No sooner had I got the homophobic email denouncing the rabbis that congratulated Goldstone than I got one pointing to Judge Goldstone's letter to the South African newspaper, Business Day, suggesting that South Africa's Chief Rabbi, Warren Goldstein, is no fan of the commandment about not bearing false witness. It looks to me like Judge Goldstone is saying that South Africa's Chief Rabbi has lied about the latter's approach to the saga of Judge Goldstone not attending his grandson's bar mitzvah. Here's a list of articles in South Africa's Business Day newspaper: http://tinyurl.com/2uequrv Here's an article with the SA Zionist Federation apparently granting permission to Goldstone to attend his grandson's bar mitzvah http...

NOVANEWS I just got an email about the previous post about the rabbis that praised and congratulated Goldstone: What a comical relief to read your posting by phoney rabbis lauding the renegade Goldstone. Several are lesbians and homosexuals, 3 do not believe in Judaism and all are ignorant of the Talmud. You should write to these oddballs and ask them if they could supplicate the Neturei Karta rabbis to endorse their tosh. I thought Zionists were pretending to be gay friendly these days. And since when was believing in Judaism a prerequisite for being a rabbi? I've heard loads of them breaking the commandment on bearing false witness. Some have incited against keeping the one about, what was it now? Ah yes, not killing people. And don't get me started on all the stuff about not coveting ...
