NOVANEWS Saturday, April 17, 2010 * let me translate: warmer than ever "Jordanian Minister of Foreign Affairs Nasser Judeh said Friday that relations between Jordan and Israel "are cold and will continue to be cold until real progress is made toward establishing a Palestinian state." " * he is back in business "The Holocaust survivors who helped build Israel "made our world better," US Gen. David Petraeus said Thursday." * This is Zionism "It is estimated that around 9,000 Palestinians are detained every year by Israel. According to human-rights groups, up to 700 teenagers and children were detained last year alone. More than 270 Palestinians, who are under the age of 18, are currently held in Israeli prisons." * Saudi king as guest of honor for Bastille day: wtf? "14 Juillet: le Quai ...

NOVANEWS Paris: Action against the inauguration of the Ethnic Cleansing Promenade The Mayor of Paris, in the presence of nuclear proliferator extraoridnaire Zio=Nazi Shimon Peres, inaugurated a naming of a Parisian promenade after ZIO=NAZI Ben Gurion. Some Parisians didn't like having to stroll the banks of the Seine on the new "ethnic cleansing" promenade.   The Ben Gurion promenade is not just an affront to Palestinians and a show of support for Zio=Nazi a year after the Gaza Holocaust . It is also a white French affirmation of France's own colonial history. It is primarily an establishment "up yours" to the immigrants from Algeria and Africa, Rwanda, the French Caribbeans and Haiti. It is a statement of white pride. That is how it ought to be understood universally. Many French Jews ar...

NOVANEWS Should we be worried by rubbish political posters? By Joe Wade   Saturday April 17 As well as political videos, at Don't Panic we are also known for posters and so it is with a critical eye that we have observed political parties wrangle with the key campaigning weapon, the political poster. The Tories struck first with an extreme close up of David Cameron's massive, smooth face. An instant graffiti magnet, it also spawned the mydavidcameron.com website which allows you to deface Dave's mug from the comfort of your own computer. Labour returned fire and shot themselves in the foot with a David-Cameron-as-Gene-Hunt-from-Ashes-to-Ashes poster (below).  Why did no-one at Labour HQ think, "Wait a minute, that actually makes Dave look cool"? The Tories quickly released their own v...

 NOVANEWS The scene from Berkeley Related posts: scene from an intermarriage UC Berkeley divestment vote–it isn’t over yet Showdown for Human Rights in Berkeley On behalf of ‘the Jewish people,’ Chairman Ackerman is ‘appalled and utterly disgusted’ by Goldstone bar mitzvah bar  One reason the South African Jewish religious authority, the board of deputies, has tried to back away from the Goldstone bar mitzvah disinvitation is surely the condemnation below from NY congressman Gary Ackerman (after the jump). Note that Ackerman identifies himself as the Chairman of the House subcommittee on the Middle East but twice invokes the "Jewish people" in his letter and a Jew's obligation to his/her community. Isn't that something of a contradiction? Gosh. But I guess that's why he's relating...

NOVANEWS In This Issue... Remembering Bassem (Pheel) Abu Rahma More Recent Articles Search The Only Democracy? Remembering Bassem (Pheel) Abu Rahma Exactly one year ago, Bassem Abu Rahma (who everyone called Pheel, which means “elephant”), was killed by Zio=Nazi army. Pheel, as he did every Friday, was demonstrating at the Wall which cuts off Bil’in from its own lands.  His last words were to ask the soldiers not to shoot because an Israeli had been injured. He was shot in the chest by a tear gas canister, as can be seen in this video  (somewhat graphic). Pheel  was by all accounts a very special person, as the video below makes very clear.  It is somewhat long, but worth watching. Pheel is one of six peaceful Palestinian demonstrators who have been killed...

NOVANEWS April 15, 2010 "A Shin Bet State" Israel Targets Ha'aretz http://www.counterpunch.org/ By JONATHAN COOK Nazareth An Arab member of the Israeli parliament is demanding that a newspaper be allowed to publish an investigative report that was suppressed days before Israel attacked Gaza in winter 2008. The investigation by Uri Blau, who has been in hiding since December to avoid arrest, concerned Israeli preparations for the impending assault on Gaza, known as Operation Cast Lead. In a highly unusual move, according to reports in the Israeli media, the army ordered the Haaretz newspaper to destroy all copies of an edition that included Blau’s investigation after it had already gone to press and been passed by the military censor. The article was never republished. Blau has gone un...

NOVANEWWS From Cecilie Surasky at Jewish Voice for Peace: Being a part of the tremendous coalition effort to pass a divestment bill at Berkeley was quite simply an ecstatic experience. As my colleague Sydney Levy said, "The movement grew by an enormous leap today." First, the vote itself: after the UC Berkeley Student Senate originally voted on March 18, by a margin of 16-4, to divest from companies that profit from the occupation, that vote was vetoed by the Senate president. The Senate needed 14 votes to overturn his veto, but early this morning, after an epic 10 plus hour meeting, senators found they had only 13 yes votes with one abstention. So the students tabled a vote to overturn the veto. This means the veto stands but can still be overturned later--there will be much continued lob...
