• Manifest Destiny and Israel
  16 April 2008, by Uri Avnery

  NEXT MONTH, Israel will celebrate its 60th anniversary. The government is working feverishly to make this day into an occasion of joy and jubilation. While serious problems are crying out for funds, some 40 million dollars have been allocated to this aim.
  Bur the nation is in no mood for celebrations. It is gloomy. From all directions the government is blamed for this gloom. "They have no agenda" is the refrain, "Their only concern is their own survival." (The word "agenda", with its (…)

• Logique de purification ethnique à Gaza
  6 janvier 2009, par Dominique Eddé

  Quel est le bénéfice attendu par Israël, au terme de cette énième entreprise de bombardement, "Plomb durci" ? Sécuriser les citoyens israéliens. Anéantir le Hamas. Connaît-on un cas de figure ayant prouvé, par le passé, que la méthode pouvait marcher ?
  L’opération "Raisins de la colère", accompagnée du massacre de Cana, au Liban, en 1996 ? Elle a renforcé le Hezbollah et s’est soldée par le retrait des troupes israéliennes du Liban sud en 2000. L’opération "Rempart à Jénine", au printemps (…)

• Nous, Juifs contre les frappes d’Israël
  20 avril 2007

  Voici vingt-quatre ans, Israël lançait au Liban l’opération « Paix en Galilée », qui allait, par les bombardements terrestres et aériens, faire des centaines de victimes civiles et qui devait aussi, du fait de l’appui apporté par Israël à ses supplétifs libanais, conduire aux massacres de Sabra et Chatila. C’est alors que, grâce à l’initiative de Pierre Vidal-Naquet notamment , fut lancé un appel de cent intellectuels juifs qui se désolidarisaient des soutiens inconditionnels à l’opération (…)

• The time of the righteous
  10 January 2009, by Gideon Levy

  This war, perhaps more than its predecessors, is exposing the true deep veins of Israeli society. Racism and hatred are rearing their heads, as is the impulse for revenge and the thirst for blood. The "inclination of the commander" in the Israel Defense Forces is now "to kill as many as possible," as the military correspondents on television describe it. And even if the reference is to Hamas fighters, this inclination is still chilling.
  The unbridled aggression and brutality are justified (…)

• Victorious, but vilified: Israel has ’destroyed its image and its soul’
  18 January 2009, by Donald Macintyre, Kim Sengupta

  After three weeks of carnage in Gaza, there were tentative signs of a ceasefire last night. But the bitter legacy of the past 22 days for Israel is that, while it declares victory on the battlefield, the country’s reputation has rarely sunk so low.
  Yesterday the United Nations called for a war crimes investigation after two children, aged five and seven, were killed when, it claimed, an Israeli tank shell hit a school sheltering some of the more than 40,000 internally displaced refugees. (…)

• صدامات أم الفحم: نموذج أوَّلي لتصفية القضية
  28 آذار (مارس) 2009, بقلم د. عادل سمارة

  حتى لو بدأنا قراءة الصراع العربي-الصهيوني من مذبحة غزة، لكان ذلك كافٍ لرؤية الخطر المحدق والخطر القادم بتصميم من مختلف الأطراف الرسمية تجاه حق الشعب الفلسطيني والأمة العربية ومستقبلهما. وهو خطر ينقسم إلى مستويين وليس نقيضين:
  – في المستوى الأول مشروع صهيوني رقم (أ) بطرد فلسطينيي ١٩٤٨ إلى الضفة الغربية والأردن، وهذا ما تقبله الأطراف العربية الرسمية، دون إعلان، على أمل أن يكتفي الكيان الصهيوني بهذا ويمنح سلطة الحكم الذاتي ما يقارب دولة!
  – وفي المستوى الثاني، أن هذا الطرد هو مقدمة لطرد كل من (…)

• Israel’s fabricated rocket crisis
  5 April 2009, by Jim Holstun, Joanna Tinker

  In The Iron Wall (2001), Israeli historian Avi Shlaim shows that in July 1981, US diplomat Philip Habib brokered a ceasefire between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel. For the next year, the PLO infuriated Israel by refusing to violate the ceasefire and thereby provide an excuse for Israel’s long-planned attack on PLO refugee camps and bases in Lebanon. Then, on 3 June 1982, a member of the Abu Nidal organization shot and wounded Shlomo Argov, the Israeli ambassador in (…)

• Gaza, remember?
  19 April 2009, by Gideon Levy

  Alyan Abu-Aun is lying in his tent, his crutches beside him. He smokes cigarettes and stares into the tiny tent’s empty space. His young son sits on his lap. Ten people are crammed into the tent, about the size of a small room. It has been their home for three months. Nothing remains of their previous home, which the Israel Defense Forces shelled during Operation Cast Lead. They are refugees for a second time; Abu-Aun’s mother still remembers her home in Sumsum, a town that once stood near (…)

• بالوثائق هذه هي جرائم اللبنانيين ضد سورية
  21 كانون الأول (ديسمبر) 2012, بقلم غدي فرنسيس

  كي نوفر التبرير والمحاججة والتخوين والنكران، فإن كل كلمة مكتوبة هنا مصحوبة بصورة وإثبات ووثيقة.. طرابلس.. ساحة للجيش الحر اجتماعياً وعسكرياً وسياسياً. جاء أبو حيدر إليها ليبحث عن إعانات وتبرعات لتسليح الكتيبة التي ينتمي إليها، ليس هو فحسب، بل عمار الحموي أيضاً، بالإضافة إلى النقيب طلال الذي انشق عن القوات الخاصة، وجاء من عسال الورد قاصداً طرابلس. وتستمر القائمة: محمد الهارب من الحرس الجمهوري، وأبو أحمد من إدارة الأمن الجنائي... وغيرهم، كلهم هنا، وسأدلكم عليهم إذا رغبتم. لن تستطيعوا أن (…)

• The Facts About Hamas and the War on Gaza
  14 January 2009, by Norman Finkelstein

  The record is fairly clear. You can find it on the Israeli website, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs website. Israel broke the ceasefire by going into the Gaza and killing six or seven Palestinian militants. At that point—and now I’m quoting the official Israeli website—Hamas retaliated or, in retaliation for the Israeli attack, then launched the missiles.
  Now, as to the reason why, the record is fairly clear as well. According to Ha’aretz, Defense Minister Barak began plans for this (…)
