Why rights groups say so many Palestinians in the West Bank are being attacked with impunity CBC Tue, April 23, 2024 Abdullatif Abu Alia kneels over a pillow soaked with dried blood from where he said his cousin, 25-year-old Jehad Abu Alia, bled to death after being shot in the head after his property was besieged on April 12 by Israeli settlers in the village of Al Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank. (Lily Martin/CBC - image credit) For years, even decades, human rights groups that monitor the occupied West Bank have implored Israel's allies to take steps to punish Jewish settlers and ..read more

Jewish students and professors speak out against claims Columbia protests are antisemitic Richard Hall Thu, April 25, 2024 In the week since a protest camp exploded across the grounds of Columbia University in solidarity with Gaza, PhD student Jonathan Ben-Menachem has been fielding worried calls from his family. They had been watching the news and were concerned for his safety. "I’ve had to reassure them that I am not about to get mobbed by antisemites anytime I go to campus,” he told The Independent. “It’s just people trying to take a stand for what they think is right, very peacefully ..read more

Like Robert Kraft, Roman Polanski and their ilk. Taking advantage and abusing weaker people are how they operate. Just like the Zionists did and continue to do in Palestine, which they raped before ethnically cleansing it. Now at Columbia, and to confront and silence a new generation of decent Americans, many of them Jewish by the way, every jackass Zionist, rapist, financier, entertainment mogul and white collar criminal is pledging to cut off their support to American universities because some of their students are calling for justice and an end to the genocide of the indigenous Palestinian ..read more

The lame, old, stale accusation of antisemitism against students at US universities is still brandished to counter and demonize their protests against apartheid Israel and for a Palestine free form Israeli occupation and its ongling genocide in Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza. Back in the 1980s, I was at Syracuse University where students, mostly wealthy Jewish students from across New York State, held protests against South Africa's apartheid policies and called for BDS actions (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) against the Afrikaaner segregationist and racist regime there. (See: https://www.upi.c ..read more

Confronting the usual lame accusations of antisemitism, US students across the country have initiated a BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) movement to bring a definitive end to the international collusion with Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine, just like they did in the mid-1990s with Apartheid South Africa and contibuted to the liberation of Nelson Mandela and the end of the segregation regime there.  The protesters include large numbers of Jewish students. So all the flithy accusations of antisemitism, leveled by the White House and other poodles of the Zionist lobby, are no more ..read more

Over the past couple of years, Gebran Bassil has not ceased demarcating himself from his terrorist Hezbollah ally. For those unfamiliar with the history of this political dwarf, let me give you an overview. In October 1990, then-Prime Minister Michel Aoun fled the presidential palace Baabda to hide in the basement of the French embassy in Beirut after Syria was given the green light by the US and Israel to dislodge him. Aoun wanted the newly minted Taef Accord, which he had accepted in principle, to include a schedule for the withdrawal of the Syrian occupation forces present on Lebanese soil ..read more

Increasing numbers of Americans are taking stock of their country’s rigid and blind support for a genocidal colonial Israel that continues to kill innocent indigenous Palestinians every day in Gaza, East Jerusalem and the West Bank. For several activists and leaders of prominent Arab-American and other organizations, Biden's support for $26 billion in aid for Israel reaffirms their view about November's election: They cannot back Biden for a second term. They might vote Trump in spite. Biden’s flagrant double-standards and contradictions, the latest of which is the US veto at the security coun ..read more

Who knew? The children of Holocaust survivors are unethical barbarians. Live and learn.  Note: IDF is the name of the Zionist Terror Organization that has been ethnically cleansing Palestine for eight decades. Instead of carrying out its genocide against Palestinians in one huge sweep of massacres and killings, it is doing it in slow-motion, with installments every decade or so, in the belief that the Goyim are stupid (since not chosen by the Big Zombie in the Sky) and would not notice. "Ninety-nine lies may help you, but the hundredth will give you away", says an African proverb.   ..read more

Blinken Is Sitting On Staff Recommendations To Sanction Israeli Military Units Linked To Killings Or Rapes Brett Murphy / ProPublica Thu, April 18, 2024 A special State Department panel recommended months ago that Secretary of State Antony Blinken disqualify multiple Israeli military and police units from receiving U.S. aid after reviewing allegations that they committed serious human rights abuses. But Blinken has failed to act on the proposal in the face of growing international criticism of the Israeli military’s conduct in Gaza, according to current and former State Department officials ..read more

I rarely agree with the neanderthals and cro-magnons of the conservative movements around the world. They refuse any change and are stuck in some long past century, invoking "the natural order of things" which, in their fossilized minds, means the English caste system, Black Africans back into slavery, women back to the kitchen, charlatan religions against objective science, workers back to 24-hr work days 7 days a week, nostalgia for "civilizing" colonialism, racism, and hatred of the "other". You see this movement in resurgence everywhere in our world today, with many countries ruled by dict ..read more
