NOVANEWS Cleansing Time: Netanyahu Commits to Colonizing East Jerusalem; First Palestinian Expelled under New Policy by Michael Leon Netanyahu Commits to Colonizing East Jerusalem; First Palestinian Expelled under new Policy by Juan Cole The new Israeli policy of deporting Palestinians from the West Bank on arbitrary grounds has kicked in with Ahmad Sabah, who has just been deported to Gaza and separated from his family in the West Bank. The measure contravenes the Geneva Convention of 1949 on the treatment of occupied populations, and it also goes contrary to the undertakings Israel made toward the Palestine Authority in the course of the Oslo peace negotiations. The episode underlines the ways in which their forced statelessness leaves Palestinians (almost uniquely among major world ...

NOVANEWS Hi All, I trust that you all know that Judge Goldstone was barred (if not in actuality, in intent) from attending his grandson's bar mitzvah, and on top of that received a biting accusing letter from the chief rabbi.  The cartoon comments on the situation, and does so, as Ran says, 'brilliantly.'

NOVANEWS GORDON DUFF: MORE AND MORE OF WHAT YOU AREN’T SUPPOSED TO KNOW  by Gordon Duff OBAMA THOUGHT HE HAD BEEN ELECTED PRESIDENT MILITARY WARNS PRESIDENT TO “STEP UP TO THE PLATE” By Gordon Duff STAFF WRITER/Senior Editor The powers, factions and conspiracies that influence our government, moreover a less visible world government is guessed at, lied about but generally never seen.  Suffice it to say that what is read in newspapers, seen on TV or on the internet is wrong, even the conspiracies that seem so very right.  People who care, people often in power, sometimes in decision making positions in the US or other countries or senior members of defense and intelligence organizations are more than a bit misinformed also.  A few things have come together lately.  No “great plot” will ...

NOVANEWS German troops in Afghanistan call on Angela Merkel to explain why they’re at war by Gordon Duff Under pressure: German troops are calling on Chancellor Angela Merkel to tell them why they’re at war in Afghanistan By Daily Mail Foreign Service (UK) German soldiers are wearing their hearts on their sleeves – in the form of a badge that protests their country’s involvement in the war in Afghanistan. Some troops have taken to wearing the cloth accessory that states – ironically – ‘I fight for Merkel’ in a bid to persuade the German Chancellor Angela Merkel to explain exactly what they are fighting and dying for. Four more troops were killed, and five badly injured, in Afghanistan last week. Seven soldiers have died there so far this month, bringing the total to 43 in all since the...

NOVANEWS IDF Self-Defense in Farraheen What are you seeing here? After an hour's time to correctly set up this horrible act, Israeli military bulldozers and tanks entered Palestinian land and churned up winter wheat, rye, and lentils, because they could, because that's how they punish the Palestinians living in Abasan Kabeer, Farraheen, and because Israeli strategy is to shrink the Gaza prison and force the people living there to rely solely on a feeding tube called UNRWA for survival. You are seeing them turn the soil over so that the most fertile surface humus is placed underground, not only destroying crops but reducing fertility for subsequent years. We had just escorted farmers reaping about 6 dunums of lentils in the area that was subsequently bulldozed. You are seeing them desperate...

NOVANEWS  Bibi and Lieberman at odds over new UN Ambassador; Dore Gold favored to replace "lame duck" Shalev Didi Remez | April 22, 2010 at 14:33 | Categories: Diplomacy, Hasbara | URL: http://wp.me/pHlQV-uq One would think that a government, which repeats ad nauseum that effective diplomacy will lead to international acceptance of its hard-line agenda, would be able to get this right. That assumption, however, should probably have been discarded after the appointment of of Putinist as Foreign Minister, an experimental diplomat as his deputy and a movement neoconservative as ambassador to a Democratic administration in the Washington. Criticism: No replacement for UN Ambassador named yet The prime minister and the foreign minister cannot agree on a candidate Shlomo Cezana, Israel ...

NOVANEWS DearI,  Earth Day turns 40 today. Tell Congress we're still standing up for the planet. Forty years ago today, 20 million Americans took to the streets as part of the first Earth Day and launched the modern environmental movement. That day in 1970 helped drive Congress to pass major regulations that remain the backbone of U.S. environmental law -- the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and more. Four decades later, we need another groundswell of support to push lawmakers to address the biggest challenge now facing the Earth and humanity: climate change. Congress is debating major legislation right now. But the bill has stalled in the Senate and needs a big, public push if it's going to help solve the climate crisis. So TrueMajority m...
