Utopia as Alibi: Said, Barenboim and the Divan Orchestra
20 December 2009, by Raymond DeanAs a classical musician involved in pro-Palestinian activism, I frequently encounter the assumption that I am an unconditional admirer of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra (WEDO). My reservations on this score tend to produce shocked disapproval: How could I not enthuse about such an idealistic project, particularly since it was co-founded by the late Edward Said, a figure for whom I have frequently expressed respect and admiration? In truth, I have always been a little wary of Said’s (…) -
The time of the righteous
10 January 2009, by Gideon LevyThis 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 (…) -
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, (…) -

The Facts About Hamas and the War on Gaza
14 January 2009, by Norman FinkelsteinThe 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 (…) -
Barak Approves More Settlement Units Before Heading To Talk “Peace” in Washington
30 June 2009Hours 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 (…) -
Murdering Palestinians for their organs: "All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct"
24 August 2009, by Saed BannouraFormer 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.

تضييق اسرائيلي على المسيحيين لتهجيرهم !
22 أيلول (سبتمبر) 2025, بقلم ريمون عطااللهتفاقمت في الآونة الأخيرة أزمة الكنائس المسيحية في القدس مع السلطات الإسرائيلية، وخصوصاً الكنيسة الأرثوذكسية صاحبة المساحات الأكبر من الأراضي والعقارات داخل المدينة المقدسة، حول مشروع القانون المقترح في الكنيست الذي يقضي بمصادرة الأملاك المباعة من الكنائس لمستثمرين خصوصيين. وقد بعث رؤساء الكنائس المسيحية الثلاثة، الأرثوذكسي، والكاثوليكي، والأرمني، برسالة تحذيرية عاجلة الى رئيس الحكومة الإسرائيلية بنيامين نتانياهو، يطالبونه فيها بوقف مشروع القانون المقترح حول بيع الأراضي الوقفية ومصادرتها.

A racist Jewish state
19 April 2009Every day the Knesset has the option of passing laws that will advance Israel as a democratic Jewish state or turn it into a racist Jewish state. There is a very thin line between the two. This week, the line was crossed. If the Knesset legal counselor did not consider the bill entitled "the Jewish National Fund Law" as sufficiently racist to keep it off the agenda, it is hard to imagine what legislation she will consider racist. In 1995 the Supreme Court rescued the state from callously (…) -
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, (…)
