• 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 (…)
• L’Onu somme Israël de cesser les démolitions à Jérusalem-Est
  1er mai 2009, par Douglas Hamilton
  Selon un rapport du Bureau des Nations unies pour les affaires humanitaires, 1.500 démolitions de maisons sont programmées dans la vieille ville arabe, officiellement parce qu’elles n’avaient pas bénéficié de permis de construire. Si ce plan, qui suscite des tensions intercommunautaires en ville, était mené à bien, ce serait quelque 9.000 Arabes qui seraient chassés de Jérusalem-Est, occupée et annexée par Israël à la faveur de la guerre de 1967. Les projets de démolition, qui ont l’aval (…)
• Ethnic Cleansing and Israel
  4 March 2009, by Conn Hallinan
  One of the more disturbing developments in the Middle East is a growing consensus among Israelis that it would acceptable to expel—in the words of advocates “transfer”—its Arab citizens to either a yet as unformed Palestinian state or the neighboring countries of Jordan and Egypt. Such sentiment is hardly new among Israeli extremists, and it has long been advocated by racist Jewish organizations like Kach, the party of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, as well as groups like the National Union, (…)
• Barak Approves More Settlement Units Before Heading To Talk “Peace” in Washington
  30 June 2009
  Hours before he took off to Washington for talks with the US administration on peace and settlements, Israeli Army Minister, Ehud Barak, approved the construction of a new settlement in the so-called Benyamin region. The approval came as part of a deal with the settlers who were evacuated from the illegal Migron settlement outpost. The settlers would move into a new settlement of 250 houses after they evacuate their outpost built on privately owned Palestinian land. Migron is inhibited (…)
• George Habash’s contribution to the Palestinian Struggle
  2 February 2008, by As’ad AbuKhalil
  I lived more than half of my life in the US and I never felt the alienation that I felt on the day I read George Habash, the Palestinian revolutionary who passed away last week, labeled as a "terrorism tactician" in a front page obituary in The New York Times. What do you do when they want to convince you that a kind and gentle man you met and respected as a person is a terrorist when you know otherwise? Do you quibble with their definitions to no avail? Do you go back and see how they wrote (…)
• Birth of a settlement
  22 May 2009, by Joseph Dana, Mairav Zonszein
  Hilltop 26 is the name of an illegal settlement outpost atop a tranquil, windswept hill just outside Kiryat Arba, in the southern West Bank. From its top, one can see the red roofs of the Jewish settlement to the south and, in the distance, the outskirts of the holy city of Hebron. Over the past two months, adolescent settlers from Kiryat Arba have built a structure atop Hilltop 26 that they use as a clubhouse for eating, studying and hanging out. Although Hilltop 26 was dismantled in 1999, (…)
• The language of Zionism
  13 May 2010, by Joseph Massad
  The reason for the ongoing "violence" in Israel and Palestine is not on account of Israeli colonialism at all but rather a direct result of mistranslation. Joseph Massad provides an abridged lexicon of Zionist terminology
• Mahmoud Abbas and Barack Obama: tragic hero vs political prostitute
  24 September 2011, by Uri Avnery
  A 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
• Israeli plan for settlement building angers US
  5 September 2009, by Steven Gutkin
  Israel said Friday it will construct hundreds of new housing units in West Bank settlements before any slowdown in building, an announcement that drew harsh criticism from Washington, which demands a complete settlement freeze as a prelude to renewing Mideast peace talks. Israeli officials painted the move as a concession to the U.S. demand because it might bring a temporary halt to other construction. But since it would also mean building the new units and finishing some 2,500 others now (…)
