• U.S.: Palestinians need not recognize Israel as Jewish state before talks
  19 April 2009, by Akiva Eldar
  Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s demand that the Palestinians recognize Israel as the state of the Jewish people as a condition for renewing peace talks is unacceptable to the United States, the State Department said during special envoy George Mitchell’s visits over the weekend to Ramallah and Cairo. The State Department released statements saying that the United States would continue to promote a two-state solution. In Ramallah, Mitchell met with Palestinian Authority President (…)
• The History and "Morals" of Ethnic Cleansing
  6 January 2009, by Victoria Buch
  I arrived in Israel 40 years ago. It took me many years to understand that the very existence of my country, as it is today, is based on an ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. The project started many years ago. Its seed can be traced to the basic fallacy of the Zionist movement, which set out to establish a Jewish-national state in a location already inhabited by another nation. Under these conditions, one has, at most, a moral right to strive for a bi-national state; establishing a (…)
• Belgian campaign targets bank financing Israeli settlements
  5 April 2009, by Adri Nieuwhof
  In a remarkably short period of time, activists in Belgium have built a strong basis for the campaign "Israel colonizes — Dexia funds," asking the bank to divest from its subsidiary Dexia Israel because of its financing of the expansion of illegal settlements in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. The Israeli settlements violate Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention, prohibiting the Occupying Power to deport or transfer parts of its civilian population into the territory it occupies, (…)
• Israel - a Jewish State or a state of its citizens ?
  8 May 2009, by Oren Medicks
  Israel is possibly the only state where such a question could have any meaning. According to the declaration of Independence, Israel belongs to the entire Jewish people, not only to those who choose to live here. This is the foundation for the ‘law of return’, under which every Jew has, upon arrival, the right to immediate Israeli citizenship. This means that Israeli actions are carried out on behalf of the Jewish people and that the Jewish people shares responsibility for Israeli policy. (…)
• Devouring Jerusalem
  1 May 2009, by Khalid Amayreh
  In its increasingly rabid efforts to consolidate control of traditionally Arab-East Jerusalem, Israel this week moved to suppress Palestinian cultural activities associated with the city being declared the capital of Arab culture for 2009. On 19 March heavily armed paramilitary police violently dispersed a meeting at the Ambassador Hotel in East Jerusalem, confiscating posters, leaflets, placards and computers. Israeli police also raided schools, social clubs and community centres to (…)
• Remove Our Grandmother’s Name from the Wall at Yad Vashem
  21 February 2009, by Michael Neumann, Osha Neumann
  Following the example of Jean-Moise Braitberg, we ask that our grandmother’s name be removed from the wall at Yad Vashem. Her name is Gertrud Neumann. Your records state that she was born in Kattowitz on June 6, 1875 and died in Theresienstadt. M. Braitberg delivers his request with excellent reasons and eloquent personal testimony. His words are inspiring, but they give you – and those who stand with you - too much credit. I will instead be brief. Please take this as an (…)
• Israel annexing East Jerusalem, says EU
  7 March 2009
  A confidential EU report accuses the Israeli government of using settlement expansion, house demolitions, discriminatory housing policies and the West Bank barrier as a way of "actively pursuing the illegal annexation" of East Jerusalem. The document says Israel has accelerated its plans for East Jerusalem, and is undermining the Palestinian Authority’s credibility and weakening support for peace talks. "Israel’s actions in and around Jerusalem constitute one of the most acute challenges (…)
• A Jérusalem-Est, le quartier Al-Boustan s’organise contre sa destruction annoncée
  18 mars 2009, par Michel Bôle-Richard
  La résistance s’est organisée. Une grande tente a été dressée et un comité de défense a été désigné. Le quartier Al-Boustan ("le jardin") à Jérusalem-Est est sur le pied de guerre. Les autorités israéliennes ont projeté de démolir 88 maisons pour y créer un parc. Le projet date de quatre ans, mais il vient d’être remis sur la table, et des ordres de démolition ont été notifiés aux 1 500 habitants de ces maisons qui, dit la mairie, ont été construites sans permis de construire. "Certaines (…)
• Israel’s Constant Crisis
  31 December 2008, by Justin Raimondo
  As the Israelis continue to pound Gaza, killing Hamas cadre, traffic cops, and civilians alike, Americans shake their heads and wonder: why can’t they all just get along? Why must we be involved? The answer to both questions lies in understanding the peculiar nature of the Israeli state and its "special relationship" to the West, specifically the U.S. Defenders of the Israeli government and its policies often complain that Israel just wants to be treated as a "normal country," like any (…)
• En Israël, une association déterre le passé enfoui de plusieurs villages arabes rasés
  5 avril 2009
  Zochrot est une organisation israélienne unique : elle tente de retrouver les traces des villages arabes détruits lors de la création d’Israël en 1948, afin d’empêcher que leur souvenir ne disparaisse entièrement de la mémoire collective. « Nous avons posé plus de cent panneaux de marquage, tous ont été enlevés », déclare Eitan Bronstein, le directeur de Zochrot (Souvenir en hébreu), en parcourant les ruines de Simsim, un ancien village arabe proche de la bande de Gaza. « Je ne serais pas (…)
