  • 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 (…)
  • الهندي الجديد يستنسخ في فلسطين
    25 أيلول (سبتمبر) 2009, بقلم فهمي هويدي
    انتابني شعور بالهلع حين سمعت مصطلح الفلسطيني الجديد لأنه بدا استعادة لتجربة صناعة الهندي الجديد، التي تعد احدى الجرائم التاريخية الكبرى. — ١— الذي تحدث عن الفلسطيني الجديد هو الجنرال كيث دايتون الذي يتولى رسميا وظيفة المنسق الأمني وهو يقيم في تل أبيب ملحقا بالسفارة الأمريكية هناك. أما وظيفته الفعلية فهي الاشراف على تهيئة الأوضاع في الضفة الغربية بحيث تتوافق تماما مع الرغبات والمخططات الاسرائيلية. وهي المهمة التي يحتل رأس أولوياتها تهدئة الهواجس الأمنية الاسرائيلية. من خلال تخليق جيل من (…)
  • 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 (…)
  • 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 (…)
  • 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, (…)
  • 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 (…)
  • Palestine 2007 : Genocide in Gaza, Ethnic Cleansing in the West Bank
    14 avril 2007, par Ilan Pappe
    On 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 (…)
  • Murdering Palestinians for their organs: "All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct"
    24 August 2009, by Saed Bannoura
    Former Palestinian detainee, researcher Abdul-Nasser Farwana, stated that all facts on the ground, since decades, prove that the Israeli occupation executed Palestinian detainees after they surrendered and refused to hand their bodies to their families. Hundreds of bodies were transferred to the families days, months or even years after the fact, and when the bodies were sent back, they were missing vital internal organs. Link for the Aftonbladet report by Swedish journalist Donald Boström (…)
  • 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 (…)
