The weakness of the UN in the Middle East. Scraps on the table and even then they thank the Israelis for nothing: 24 February 2010 UN Special Coordinator Robert Serry called on Israeli President Shimon Peres today to discuss efforts to resume Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the situation in the West Bank, and the continuing crisis in…

The Green Prince was a traitor to the Palestinian cause
A story that doesn’t really need any comment: The son of a leading Hamas figure, who famously converted to Christianity, served for over a decade as the Shin Bet security service’s most valuable source in the militant organization’s leadership, Haaretz has learned. Mosab Hassan Yousef is the son of Sheikh Hassan Yousef, a Hamas founder…
This is how the Australian Jewish News sees the Dubai debacle
Australia-Israel alliance rocked by passport fiasco.
The PA doesn’t seem to care who they meet or where
This is truly absurd. Palestinian Authority Prime Minister Salam Fayyad meets with some of America’s most right-wing Jewish leaders who don’t believe in ending the occupation or ceasing settlement building. Fayyad is becoming the “nice” Palestinian (though Israel is starting to tire of his pronouncements: maybe they’ll just kill him): U.S. Jewish leaders pressed Palestinian…

Will Australia stand up to Israeli passport threat? (don’t hold your breath)
The fun continues (and let’s see how serious Australia takes this clear Zionist breach; I’m guessing they’ll be a little public fury but not much else): Police have 15 more suspects in the assassination of a Hamas leader in Dubai, including three who were allegedly travelling on Australian passports, CNN reported last night. Included in…
News flash: US corporate media reports on Palestinian’s lack of movement
Wow, real journalism about Israel’s occupation, published in the mainstream press. Here’s an Associated Press piece in the Washington Post this week (and it’s titled, “Checkpoint misery epitomizes a Mideast divide”): The journey to Jerusalem, for tens of thousands of Palestinians, begins in a dank, trash-strewn hangar. They move through cage-like passages and 7-foot-high turnstiles…
The family of Rachel Corrie deserve justice
The legacy of peace activist Rachel Corrie – killed by Israel in 2003 – continues to weave its way through history. This latest news shows how unwilling Israel is to account for its actions: Under pressure from the United States, Israel is to grant visas to four activists from the International Solidarity Movement so they…
