A PRE-PLANNED AND PRE-MEDITATED EFFORT FOR ETHNIC CLEANSING AND LAND THEFT
28 February 2009, by Nizar SakhniniPROLOGUE: The Zionist propaganda began with a big lie claiming that Palestine was a “land without people for a people without a land”. Palestine, however, was not a ‘land without people’. Accordingly, creation of a ‘Jewish State’ with a ‘Jewish Majority’ implied getting rid of its indigenous population and stealing their homes and lands. The pre-planned and pre-meditated Zionist efforts for Ethnic Cleansing and Land Theft started in 1948 and never stopped to this date. HISTORICAL (…) -
Belgian campaign targets bank financing Israeli settlements
5 April 2009, by Adri NieuwhofIn 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, (…) -
Gideon Levy / An open response to A.B. Yehoshua
18 January 2009, by Gideon LevyDear Bulli, Thank you for your frank letter and kind words. You wrote it was written from a "position of respect," and I, too, deeply respect your wonderful literary works. But, unfortunately, I have a lot less respect for your current political position. It is as if the mighty, including you, have succumbed to a great and terrible conflagration that has consumed any remnant of a moral backbone. You, too, esteemed author, have fallen prey to the wretched wave that has inundated, (…) -
U.S. drops spy charges against two ex-AIPAC officials
3 May 2009Federal prosecutors moved Friday to dismiss espionage-related charges against two former pro-Israel lobbyists accused of disclosing classified U.S. defense information, ending a tortuous inside-the-Beltway legal battle rife with national security intrigue. Critics of the prosecution of Steven Rosen and Keith Weissman of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee accused the federal government of trying to criminalize the sort of back-channel discussions between government officials, (…) -
US Hides Behind Iran Sanctions Threat
2 May 2009, by Kaveh L AfrasiabiWhereas United States President Barack Obama promised in his new year message to Iran that he was committed to a new diplomacy that "will not be advanced by threats", a month later this is precisely what is happening. This is in light of new White House-backed legislation in the US Congress that aims to impose "crippling sanctions" on Iran by targeting its energy imports. The Iran Sanctions Enhancement Act, introduced by a bipartisan group of US senators, states in its preamble that its (…) -
Birth of a settlement
22 May 2009, by Joseph Dana, Mairav ZonszeinHilltop 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, (…) -
L’Onu somme Israël de cesser les démolitions à Jérusalem-Est
1er mai 2009, par Douglas HamiltonSelon 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 (…) -
Netanyahu, Obama et l’épreuve du changement
8 mai 2009, par Emilie SueurLe 30 avril, Barack Obama passait le cap des 100 jours de sa présidence. Chiffre symbole qui a donné lieu à toute une série d’analyses sur la politique du nouveau président. Le vrai test néanmoins, le cap au passage duquel il sera intéressant de juger la politique étrangère d’Obama et sa volonté, revendiquée lors de la campagne, de « changement » par rapport à l’administration Bush, aura lieu dans quelques jours, lors de sa rencontre, prévue à la mi-mai, avec le Premier ministre israélien, (…) -
Devouring Jerusalem
1 May 2009, by Khalid AmayrehIn 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 (…) -
En Israël, une association déterre le passé enfoui de plusieurs villages arabes rasés
5 avril 2009Zochrot 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 (…)
