Start praying for salvation

Murdoch’s Australian newspaper hilariously publishes an article about Australian Jews now working in Israel to sell its war against Palestinians civilians. Says Captain Rutland, head of the European and Pacific desks at the IDF: I know that the vast majority of them [soldiers] are quite simply very good people who do the maximum to minimise…

Civilians are being murdered

The following testimony was released by Israel’s leading human rights group, B’Tselem on January 9: Muhammad al-Astal, clerk Last Friday [2 January], at 2:15 P.M., I was standing next to al-”˜Amda Restaurant, which is about eighty meters from my house.
