Today, while driving through town, I wound up behind a minivan that had a big sticker on the back. The sticker had an Israeli flag in the middle of it and under it the quotation from the book of Genesis that reads "I will bless those who bless thee."
I would like to take this time to list my own reasons for thanking and blessing Israel, our lone ally in the Middle East, for everything she has done for us, since I am quite sure most Americans are unaware of just what kind of friend she has (…)

A powerful but masochistic expression of gratitude by the USA to Israel

Mahmoud Abbas and Barack Obama: tragic hero vs political prostitute
24 September 2011, by Uri AvneryA wonderful speech. A beautiful speech.
The language expressive and elegant. The arguments clear and convincing. The delivery flawless.
A work of art. The art of hypocrisy. Almost every statement in the passage concerning the Israeli-Palestinian issue was a lie. A blatant lie: the speaker knew it was a lie, and so did the audience.
It was Obama at his best, Obama at his worst.
Being a moral person, he must have felt the urge to vomit. Being a pragmatic person, he knew that he had to (…) -
Israel annexing East Jerusalem, says EU
7 March 2009A 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 (…) -
Le lobby pro-israélien et la politique étrangère américaine
17 novembre 2007, par John Mearsheimer, Stephen WaltLe pouvoir politique du lobby ne vient pas de son poids sur les déclarations des candidats à la présidentielle pendant la campagne, mais de son influence considérable sur la politique étrangère américaine, en particulier au Moyen-orient. Les interventions américaines dans cette zone hypersensible ont d’importantes conséquences sur les habitants des quatre coins de la planète, et surtout ceux de cette région. Voyez seulement à quel point la guerre en Irak de l’administration Bush a affecté le (…)

En Israël, une association déterre le passé enfoui de plusieurs villages arabes rasés
5 avril 2009Zochrot 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 (…)

تضييق اسرائيلي على المسيحيين لتهجيرهم !
28 تموز (يوليو) 2018, بقلم ريمون عطااللهتفاقمت في الآونة الأخيرة أزمة الكنائس المسيحية في القدس مع السلطات الإسرائيلية، وخصوصاً الكنيسة الأرثوذكسية صاحبة المساحات الأكبر من الأراضي والعقارات داخل المدينة المقدسة، حول مشروع القانون المقترح في الكنيست الذي يقضي بمصادرة الأملاك المباعة من الكنائس لمستثمرين خصوصيين. وقد بعث رؤساء الكنائس المسيحية الثلاثة، الأرثوذكسي، والكاثوليكي، والأرمني، برسالة تحذيرية عاجلة الى رئيس الحكومة الإسرائيلية بنيامين نتانياهو، يطالبونه فيها بوقف مشروع القانون المقترح حول بيع الأراضي الوقفية ومصادرتها.

Israel - a Jewish State or a state of its citizens ?
8 May 2009, by Oren MedicksIsrael 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. (…)

Palestine 2007 : Genocide in Gaza, Ethnic Cleansing in the West Bank
14 avril 2007, par Ilan PappeOn this stage, not so long ago, I claimed that Israel is conducting genocidal policies in the Gaza Strip. I hesitated a lot before using this very charged term and yet decided to adopt it. Indeed, the responses I received, including from some leading human rights activists, indicated a certain unease over the usage of such a term. I was inclined to rethink the term for a while, but came back to employing it today with even stronger conviction : it is the only appropriate way to describe what (…)

State of recognition
24 September 2011, by Joseph MassadWhether the UN grants the PA status as a state or refuses to do so, either outcome will be in Israel’s interest.
What is at stake in Barack Obama’s vehement refusal to recognise Palestine as a mini-state with a disfigured geography and no sovereignty, and his urging the world community not to recognise it while threatening the Palestinians with retribution? What is the relationship between Obama’s refusal to recognise Palestine and his insistence on recognising Israel’s right to be a (…) -
Israeli Economy for Beginners
14 August 2011, by Gilad AtzmonWe learn from the press and political analysts that, against all odds and in spite of the global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy is booming. Some even suggest that Israel is one of the strongest economies around.
‘How come?’ you may ask; besides maybe avocado, oranges, and some Dead Sea beauty products, none of us has actually ever seen an Israeli product on the shelves. They don’t make cars; nor do they make electric or electronic appliances, and they hardly manufacture any (…)
