ZIO-NAZI

NOVANEWS This is an important cause of Zio=Nazi ethnic cleansing and i'd like to encourage you to add your signature, thanks! Sammi Ibrahem Your Excellency, Mr Ben-Zeev, Firas Maraghy from Jerusalem, who is currently resident in Berlin, has been on hunger strike since July 26th in front of your embassy building. We, the undersigned, urge you to use your discretion in considering his requests. Mr Maraghy's family has lived in Jerusalem for many generations. Because of Israeli legislation concerning Palestinian residents of Jerusalem he has neither a Palestinian nor an Israeli passport. He is stateless and is dependent on Israel for the issue of any residence or travel permits. In September 2007 Mr Maraghy married Wiebke Diehl, who has German nationality, and he moved to Berlin so that the c...

NOVANEWS Here is a remark I posted on Face Book as an introduction to the article below: This article delineates the role of ADL as a defamer, spy, and silencer of activism. While the article relates the story of how their work of collecting information on anti apartheid and anti occupation activists was discovered (in early 90's) in the Bay Area, their efforts were by no means limited to that locale. InTucson, their records on activists used to be stored at the HILLEL building on the University of Arizona campus. I know this from personal experience since some of their files (my own's included) came into light during a trial against Hillel (in which I was one of the witnesses.)

NOVANEWS This is a guest post from David Green. My own take in general terms aligns with Green's. Israel has constructed itself as an imperial asset in the Middle East. We still lack a satisfactory synthesis explaining the Israel Lobby's role in shaping American foreign policy, and I don't think the Walt-Mearsheimer argument is very satisfactory, and am consistently stunned at the welcome they receive from leftists. Various domestic capitalist interests assert themselves in different ways. Some do so through lobbying, some through Congress, some through the executive, some through the Pentagon. Ideology plays a role, too, as do nationalism and tribalism --they are forces used to mobilize people, frequently, against more tangible economic interests. What the Lobby--defined narrowly, say, AI...

NOVANEWS  Dear Mr Pollard, Below is a link to a story I blogged about an ordinary American Jewish student, Emily Honochowicz, who lost an eye peacefully protesting at a checkpoint in Jerusalem, the same day as the Mavi Marmara. A tear gas canister having been shot directly at her. http://azvsas.blogspot.com/2010/07/day-american-jewish-art-student-emily.html I realise that the habits of editing tabloid newspapers die hard but isn't it time you covered not just this but the more general drift towards a police state in Israel? The attacks on secular Arab MK Haneen Zoabi, no supporter of Hamas, a liberated woman but clearly not the type that Israel's knee-jerk supporters like, being the object of virulent abuse in the Knesset. Instead of being an echo chamber to Jonathan Hoffman isn't it abou...

NOVANEWS   Israel Cannot Handle Its Past 1. Gilad Atzmon: Israel Cannot Handle Its Past Saturday, July 31, 2010 Israel cannot handle its past. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu decided this week to extend from 50 to 70 years the time state archives remain classified. Israel realizes that it has too much to hide.  Haaretz reported this week (in its Hebrew edition only), that the first documents will be released to the public only in 2018 (1948+70). Many of the documents that are stored in the archive are relevant to the history of the first 20 years of the Jewish state: the mass expulsion of the Palestinian people,  the massacres in Deir Yassin,  Tantura and many others, the 1956 Suez conflict, the Israeli nuclear project and so on. Disclosing such documents may bring to light some fact...

NOVANEWS http://toibillboard.info/Is_Israel_singled_out.htm By Adam Keller The Other Israel - August 1, 2010 Googling for "Israel singled out" + "anti-Semitism" would immediately get you many thousands of results. All over the world, supporters of the policies enacted by the government of Israel are busily churning out article after article, repeating with minor variations the same message - Israel is being unfairly singled out, harshly criticized for the kind of acts which others are allowed to get away with, and the motive is anti-Semitism. In a way, this is a second line of defense. There had been a time when this kind of people took the line that Israel can do no wrong. That it is an utterly wonderful place, little short of an utopia, a vibrant democracy and the only one in the Mi...

NOVANEWS Israeli Rabbi Preaches “Slaughter” of Gentile Babies By JONATHAN COOK | August 2, 2010 Settler groups have stepped up attacks against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, including the torching of a mosque near Nablus in May of this year. (Rami Swidan/MaanImages) Nazareth: A rabbi from one of the most violent settlements in the West Bank was questioned on suspicion of incitement last week as Israeli police stepped up their investigation into a book in which he sanctions the killing of non-Jews, including children and babies. Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira is one of the leading ideologues of the most extreme wing of the religious settler movement. He is known to be a champion of the “price-tag” policy of reprisal attacks on Palestinians, including punishing them for attempt...
