Israel and Iran may not be friends for quite a long time

During a campaign speech at the University of Uroomiyeh in northwestern Iran a few months before the June presidential election there, Mir Hossein Moussavi, the main reformist presidential candidate…
Why American Zionists are so desperate to smear all critics as extremists
The image of Israel on US campuses is taking a dive. And yet Zionists believe they simply need to improve their PR. This documentary preview, Crossing the Line: The Intifada Comes to Campus, takes a familiar line. Because a handful of extremists are anti-Semitic, therefore anybody critical of Israel is a Jew-hater. It’s almost comical…
Palestinians walk, Israelis fire

Hamas has a rat in the ranks?

Yet more land stolen by Zionism for the Greater Israel project
A new challenge in Palestine, largely ignored by the Western press: In the Palestinian town of Beit Sahour, famous for its civil disobedience campaign against the Israeli occupation in the 1980s, a new struggle is taking place. Ush al Ghrab (‘Crow’s Nest’) is a small piece of land being targeted by a group of Jewish…
Netanyahu knew all about the murder of Mabhouh
The Mossad murder of a Hamas man in Dubai will not simply disappear. The London Times has more details: In early January two black Audi A6 limousines drove up to the main gate of a building on a small hill in the northern suburbs of Tel Aviv: the headquarters of Mossad, the Israeli secret intelligence…
How J Street makes the Israeli extremists crazy (because they don’t love colonies)
Israeli right-wing politician Michael Ben Ari (National Union) on J Street: They want international legitimacy, but everybody knows they are an anti-Semitic lobby that acts against Israel. They are dangerous people and they use the Congress people in order to try to receive legitimacy. One Israeli commentator, despairing at the act by Israel’s Foreign Ministry…
