Zionist has to hide in Britain
When you are a spokesman for an occupying army that commits war crimes, you should watch where you travel. This story highlights what is now the reality for Israelis and it hasn’t come a day too soon: The chief spokesman of the Israel Defense Forces said on Tuesday he had visited Britain incognito and under…

Better PR won’t help Israel and nor should it
This newly released video, for a campaign called Take Back Zionism, will do nothing for Israel’s image: When will these people learn? You won’t be taken seriously until you address the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, fundamentalist rabbis and settlers and discrimination against Israeli Arabs.

Troubles on Gaza/Egypt border
No wonder Hamas wants to maintain “order” in Gaza. A truly open border between Egypt and Gaza threatens their rule in the Strip:
