- This is Zionism
Israel-Arab claims she was humiliated by two security guards who ordered her off bus after hearing her speak Arabic on cell phone. College: First such incident in 15 years (full article…)
- Nick Griffin
One-fifth of Britain would vote for ‘racist’ Nick Griffin (full article…) I watched the BBC appearance – it was quite boring and silly. Besides the ridiculous posturing over who Winston Churchill “belongs to”, the mainstream politicians were unable to convincingly reject a moron like Griffin. Jack Straw especially bumbled his part… dodging criticism of the [...]
- Spies
Republican members of the Congressional Anti-Terrorism Caucus said the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) have tried to plant “spies” within key national-security committees in order to shape legislative policy. (full article…) This is interesting (and shameful)… When an Islamic lobby groups gets interns inside Congress, they’re called spies and House members cite passages from [...]
- This is Zionism
Throughout Israel, young Jewish men are forming vigilante groups to end interracial relationships between Arab men and Jewish women, which are occurring with increased frequency as Jewish settlements dig deeper into Arab territory. The vigilantes say Arabs lure Jewish women with money and “bad boy” personalities. (full article…)
- The Correct Use of Racism
Hundreds of anthropologists at the business meeting — the first official quorum in 30 years — unanimously endorsed a resolution condemning “the use of anthropological knowledge as an element of physical and psychological torture.” But one anthropologist, while sharing her peers’ condemnation of torture as immoral and ineffective, worried that some of her colleagues had [...]
- Racists Preconditions
Netanyahu: PA must recognize Israel as Jewish state for there to be peace (full article…) Didn’t he just say that there weren’t going to be preconditions? It’s not fun exposing Netanyahu’s contradictions, because they occur so frequently. I have a precondition for you… Since you are infatuated with the whole “right to exist” (something no [...]
- French Racism
Des histoires comme celles-là, j’en aurais tant d’autres à raconter. On dit de moi que je suis d’origine étrangère, un beur, une racaille, un islamiste, un délinquant, un sauvageon, un “beurgeois”, un enfant issu de l’immigration… Mais jamais un Français, Français tout court. (full article…)
- This is Zionism
Every night, dozens of young men in Jerusalem’s Pisgat Ze’ev neighborhood take to the streets and go out searching for girls. But theirs is not a promiscuous search. In fact, the group of some 35 volunteers is looking to prevent such interaction and to stop what neighborhood residents have overwhelmingly complained is a growing problem [...]
- This is Zionism
A settler tosses wine at a Palestinian woman on Shuhada Street in Hebron. The approach of some settlers towards neighboring Palestinians, especially around Nablus in the north and Hebron in the south, has often been one of contempt and violence. (more…)
- South Carolinian Politics
The congressman, we learned, belonged to the Sons of Confederate Veterans, led a 2000 campaign to keep the Confederate flag waving above South Carolina’s state Capitol and denounced as a “smear” the true claim of a black woman that she was the daughter of Strom Thurmond, the ’48 segregationist candidate for president. Wilson clearly did [...]
- Criminalizing Dissent
Criminalising dissent is not unique to Israel. Many oppressive states, such as apartheid South Africa, have used it to de-legitimise parties, ideas and activities disliked by ruling elites and security apparatuses. Furthermore, persecution on grounds of “security” creates an immediate divide between Arab and Jewish citizens. In 2007, the head of Shabak, the Israeli general [...]
- Zionism is Racism
The Israeli government has launched a television and internet advertising campaign urging Israelis to inform on Jewish friends and relatives abroad who may be in danger of marrying non-Jews. The advertisements, employing what the Israeli media described as “scare tactics”, are designed to stop assimilation through intermarriage among young diaspora Jews by encouraging them to [...]
- “Stupidly”
Obama’s choice of words might not have been politic, but he was merely stating the obvious when he said the police behaved “stupidly.” (more…)
- This is Zionism
Legislation that Israel’s Arab citizens fear could limit their freedom of speech came a step closer on Sunday to becoming law. The bill, proposed by a legislator from the ultranationalist Yisrael Beitenu party of Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman, would withhold government money from any state-supported institutions that fund activity deemed detrimental to the state. Such [...]
- Zionism is a Failed Ideology
Housing Minister Ariel Atias on Thursday warned against the spread of Arab population into various parts of Israel, saying that preventing this phenomenon was no less than a national responsibility. (more…)
- Zionism Defined
“If you ask an Israeli, ‘are you in favor of equality for Arabs,’ they will say, ‘yes, of course.’ If you ask them are they in favor of throwing the [Arabs] into the sea, they say, ‘yes, of course.’ And it doesn’t feel like any contradiction to them.” (more…)
- Zionism in a Nutshell
The aim of these laws is to impose the Israeli nationalist creed by coercion. It’s really that simple. Over the last decade, the Knesset has experienced several bursts of legislative activity seeking to restrict freedom of opinion and expression on the questions of the Jewishness of the state and the right to resist occupation. The [...]
- A Typically Zionist Solution
Mayor concerned with rising number of Arab residents, emigration of Jews from city, devises plan to tip demographics with construction of 3,050 housing units in ultra-Orthodox neighborhood built on land expropriated from Arabs in 1967. Mayor recruits Interior Minister Eli Yishai to cause, urges settlers to move in (more…)
- This is Zionism
Israeli woman denied social benefits for visiting Palestinian husband. (more…)
- This is Zionism
As the day progressed Danny said he realized the scene he had witnessed was not an isolated incident. “It kept repeating itself. At one point I asked the people at the register if they really weren’t letting Arabs in and they answered straight out that they were not. One of the workers told me that [...]
- Israeli Apartheid
To be sure Verwoerd was correct. Both apartheid South Africa and Zionist Israel were colonial, settler states created on the basis of the harsh dispossession of the land and birthright of the indigenous people. This is unblushingly documented in Israel’s case from the time of Herzl through Jabotinsky, Ben Gurion, Menachem Begin, Moshe Dayan to [...]
- Duh
The Human Sciences Research Council of South Africa (HSRC) has released a report confirming that Israel is practicing both colonialism and apartheid in the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT). (more…)
- This is Zionism
A community in northern Israel has changed its bylaws to demand that new residents pledge support for “Zionism, Jewish heritage and settlement of the land” in a thinly-veiled attempt to block Arab applicants from gaining admission. (more…)
- Blight Unto the Nations
One bill sought to prohibit marking the day Israel declared its independence as a day of mourning. A second prohibits negating the existence of Israel as a Jewish and democratic state. The third bill would have required Israeli citizens, including Arabs of Palestinian descent, to sign oaths of loyalty to the state, its flag and [...]
- This is Zionism
“The only way to fight a moral war is the Jewish way: Destroy their holy sites. Kill men, women and children (and cattle),” Friedman wrote in response to the question posed by Moment Magazine for its “Ask the Rabbis” feature. Friedman argued that if Israel followed this wisdom, there would be “no civilian casualties, no [...]
- This is Zionism
“The Carmel Academic Center in Haifa shut down the concentration in accounting within its Department of Business Administration because a majority of the students applying were Palestinian citizens of Israel. This was revealed in a news item reported on Israeli news Channel 10 on 24 May (in Hebrew only).” (more…)
- This is Zionism
The so-called Israel’s Land Authority uprooted on Monday nearly 250 olive trees and several fig trees and grapevines south of Shqeib Al Salaam Arab village in the Negev. (more…)
- The Jewish/Democratic Oxymoron
The bill, proposed by MK Zevulun Orlev (Habayit Hayehudi) would prescribe up to one year in jail for anybody who published calls to deny Israel’s right to exist as a Jewish and democratic state, or words “that will bring about an act of hate, degradation or lack of loyalty to the state or to government [...]
- Comment: On the Pope’s Middle-East Tour
To be frank, I couldn’t care less what this lousy Pope does or does not say during his little tour of the Middle-East. I’m strongly opposed to the unfounded respect instinctively granted to religious leaders. Why should anyone care what this man says? Because he wears a silly hat and prays to a mythological man [...]
- This is Zionism
One night at a dinner party in Jerusalem in 1977, I heard a young Israeli talking about the Arabs in terms which chilled my blood. “In the next war,” he said, “we’ve got to get the Palestinians out of the West Bank for good.”…Now, suddenly, I found myself meeting Israelis committed to the creation of [...]
- This is Zionism
Three years ago in Jerusalem, I met a very bright couple in their late 40s, who had emigrated from Russia a decade earlier. When we began to speak of the Palestinians, the husband said: “In my Russian village in 1920, there was trouble with guerrillas. Budenny’s Cossacks came. They burnt the village from which the [...]
- “Moderate” Zionism
Tzipi Livni, another so-called centrist, holds similar discriminatory views. On January 23, 2002, she urged members of the Knesset to reject an equal-protection clause according to which equality is the right of every citizen in the state regardless of his or her nationality, religion, or views. The proposed bill was rejected, and formal equality remains [...]
- Anti-Semitic Tricks
The demand for the establishment of a Palestinian state, speaking of the recent Durban II conference, is another type of anti-Semitic trick against us. With all the giant states in the Middle East, it is the Jewish State that is required to share with the Palestinians the little territory that we have. (more…)
- Just Another Damn Anti-Semite
In a letter to Michigan State University President Lou Anna Simon, two ADL officials wrote that Tutu, whose opposition to apartheid in the 1980s won him the Nobel Peace Prize, had made statements about Israel that “conveyed outright bigotry against … the Jewish people.” (more…)
- This is “Change”
The White House offered no further details. But last week a bipartisan group of House members sent a letter to Obama congratulating him for deciding to boycott the meeting, which is scheduled to begin Monday. (more…)
- Kahanism = Zionism
The truth about our foreign minister – and this is no scoop, it’s old news everywhere, but a lot of people have conveniently forgotten it – is that he used to belong to Kach. He is a one-time member of a murderous anti-Arab movement, one whose ideology is summed up in the chant “death to [...]
- Israeli Jihad
The winter assault on the Gaza Strip was officially portrayed in Israel as an attempt to quell rocket fire by militants of Hamas. But some soldiers say they also were lectured about a more ambitious aim: to banish non-Jews from the biblical land of Israel. “This rabbi comes to us and says the fight is [...]
- Israel is Sick
The Israeli military was quick to point out that, ‘This type of humour is unbecoming and should be condemned.’ This isn’t very convincing when you consider the graffiti left by Israeli soldiers who recently occupied houses across the northern Gaza Strip: ‘Death will find you … soon’ scrawled on the bedroom wall of Majeda Abu [...]
- Lieberman is No Aberration
I can’t stand how the Israeli left is attempting to explain Avigdor Lieberman as an aberration – an extreme case of neo-fascism in Israeli politics – when Lieberman is simply the product of widespread Israeli bigotry. Neve Gordon, a generally brave and incisive voice in the Israeli peace camp (one of the few remaining), provides [...]
- Because He Wasn’t Brown
Of some 120 criminal investigations brought against security force members since the beginning of the intifada, there had only been one conviction – against the Arab-Israeli soldier who shot British peace activist Tom Hurndall dead in Gaza. (more…)
- This is Zionism
“Palestinian laborers are forbidden to walk around the community of Har Adar in the Jerusalem corridor. They are allowed to work, but cannot simply roam the area. This is the local council’s policy.” (more…)
- Zionism = Racism
Anti-Arab verbal and physical attacks inside Israel have spiked in the wake of elections held earlier this year in which right-wing parties made major gains, a human rights group said on Sunday. The Mossawa Centre for the Rights of Arab Citizens in Israel has documented 250 incidents of aggression against Arab Israelis since the start [...]
- This is Zionism
A Hadera elementary school has been accused of racial discrimination, for its singling out of a number of students of Ethiopian origin, all born in Israel, for extra Hebrew lessons. (more…)
- Israeli Racism
The demonstrators said pressure should be put on Hamas to release Shalit by worsening the conditions of the almost 11,000 Palestinians being held in Israeli jails. (more…) Just imagine if these people put all this effort towards demanding an end to the occupation.
- Yet Israeli Apartheid Continues
Report: Israel dropped from new Durban II draft
- I Wonder Why That Could Be…
Most fundamentally, we see a growing assault on both the legitimacy and security of the State of Israel. (more…) A state built on oppression and the racist vision of a mono-ethnic state has no legitimacy. As more and more people realize this, it becomes clearer that Zionism is a failed ideology.
- Israel, Racist?
The poll also found that 35% of Israeli pupils think Israel is a racist society, with more youth in the periphery of the country – 41% – holding such a view, and fewer – 29% – in the center of the country. (more…)
- Martin Luther King Jr. (Belatedly)
Yesterday was Martin Luther King Day and it got me thinking about the irony of becoming larger than life—on becoming a national icon. Despite King’s pacifism and incisive rejection of American foreign policy, he has been mainstreamed and virtually removed from the ideology he represented. How many children are made to recite King’s “I Have [...]
- This is Zionism
Nearby was another home that had evidently been used as a base by Israeli troops. Inside it was littered with bullet casings and ration packs, and walls were daubed with slogans including “Arabs need to die” and “Arabs: 1948 to 2009″. (more…)
- This is Zionism
Israel on Monday banned Arab political parties from running in next month’s parliamentary elections, drawing accusations of racism by an Arab lawmaker who said he would challenge the decision in the country’s Supreme Court. (more…)
- Zionism = Racism
The unbridled aggression and brutality are justified as “exercising caution”: the frightening balance of blood – about 100 Palestinian dead for every Israeli killed, isn’t raising any questions, as if we’ve decided that their blood is worth one hundred times less than ours, in acknowledgement of our inherent racism. (more…)
- This is Zionism
“It’s incredible, but it seems that an Israeli law forbids Jews to adopt non-Jewish children!” he exclaimed. “This apartheid measure must be denounced by the worldwide media, and the international community should apply pressure against Israel to protest this abjectly racist law so the Israeli government will cancel it.” (more…)
-
For Burg, Israel’s troubles are self-inflicted. Specifically, he maintains that the principal cause of Israel’s problems is the legacy of the Holocaust, which has become omnipresent in Israeli life. “Not a day passes,” he writes, “without a mention of the Shoah in the only newspaper I read, Ha’aretz.” Indeed, Israeli children are taught in school [...]
- Noam Chomsky: What Next? The Elections, the Economy, and the World
Well, let’s begin with the elections. The word that the rolls off of everyone’s tongue is historic. Historic election. And I agree with it. It was an historic election. To have a black family in the white house is a momentous achievement. In fact, it’s historic in a broader sense. The two Democratic candidates were [...]
