• 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 (…)
• تضييق اسرائيلي على المسيحيين لتهجيرهم !
  22 أيلول (سبتمبر), بقلم ريمون عطاالله
  تفاقمت 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. (…)
• Anonymous (المجهولون) عملية اسرائيل
  17 تشرين الثاني (نوفمبر) 2012
  تحياتي ايها العالم لفترة طويلة جدا، Anonymous (المجهولون) وقفو مع بقية العالم و شاهدوا بيأس المعاملة البربرية ،الوحشية الحقيرة للشعب الفلسطيني "الاراضي المحتلة" من قبل قوة الدفاع الاسرائيلية. مثل العديد حول العالم شعرنا بالعجز في مواجهة هذا الشر العنيد. وكان هجوم اليوم المجنون والتهديد بالغزو على عزة شيء دائما ما يحصل. لكن الحكومة الاسرائيلية تجاوزت حدودها عندما هددت علنا بقطع كامل الانترنت و غيرها من الاتصالات في داخل و خارج غزة. كما تعلم دكتاتور مصر "مبارك" بالطريقة الصعبة اننا( نحن (…)
• Israel’s Kafkaesque "Matrix of Control"
  3 février 2007, par Stephen Lendman
  Finding an equitable solution to the intractable, festering decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the Gordian Knot that must be cut to achieve peace overall in the Middle East. Today, no solution is in sight nor are any serious efforts planned to find one despite occasional rhetoric to the contrary like what’s now being heard from Washington with similar disingenuous echos inside Israel. Palestinians know otherwise from long experience. They’ve heard this siren song before. It’s the (…)
• #opIsrael – Anonymous stands by Palestine in this time of war and grief
  17 November 2012
  Greetings World For far too long, Anonymous has stood by with the rest of the world and watched in despair the barbaric, brutal and despicable treatment of the Palestinian people in the so called “Occupied Territories” by the Israel Defense Force. Like so many around the globe, we have felt helpless in the face of such implacable evil. And today’s insane attack and threatened invasion of Gaza was more of the same. But when the government of Israel publicly threatened to sever all (…)
• Arabs-Israelis protest against Jewish state’s ’racism’
  19 April 2009
  Thousands of Arab-Israelis on Monday demonstrated against what they called Israel’s "racism" at a rally commemorating the killing of six people in a 1976 protest against land grabs. Arab-Israeli MPs, mayors and other dignitaries were among the demonstrators in the annual Land Day protest at Deir Hanna village in Israel’s Galilee region. Waving Palestinian flags and green banners - the color of the Islamic movement - as well as the symbols of the various Arab-Israeli parties, the (…)
• A racist Jewish state
  19 April 2009
  Every day the Knesset has the option of passing laws that will advance Israel as a democratic Jewish state or turn it into a racist Jewish state. There is a very thin line between the two. This week, the line was crossed. If the Knesset legal counselor did not consider the bill entitled "the Jewish National Fund Law" as sufficiently racist to keep it off the agenda, it is hard to imagine what legislation she will consider racist. In 1995 the Supreme Court rescued the state from callously (…)
• Détruire la Palestine ou comment terminer la guerre de 1948
  16 avril 2007, par Tanya Reinhart
  Depuis l’occupation de 1967, les responsables politiques et militaires israéliens débattent de la meilleure façon de conserver le maximum de terres avec le minimum de Palestiniens. Les dirigeants de la "génération de 1948", Alon, Sharon, Dayan, Rabin, Pérès ont été élevés dans le mythe de la rédemption de la terre. Sharon, dans un entretien étonnamment candide avec Ari Shavit (Haaretz, supplément hebdomadaire, 13 avril 2001), a donné un aperçu de la vision du monde qui avait cours dans le (…)
• Learning the Nakba as a condition for peace and reconciliation
  5 April 2009, by Norma Musih
  The Jewish people in Israel, or at least most of them, live in complete ignorance or even denial of the Palestinian disaster that took place in 1948, the Nakba. The Nakba has no place in the language, the landscape, the environment, and the memory of the Jewish collective in Israel. Traveling in Israel, one may find signposts, landmarks and memorials that create and sustain the Jewish-Israeli narrative. Jewish-Israeli events that took place more than 2,000 years ago are celebrated through (…)
• State of recognition
  24 September 2011, by Joseph Massad
  Whether 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 (…)
