• تضييق اسرائيلي على المسيحيين لتهجيرهم !
  28 تموز (يوليو) 2018, بقلم ريمون عطاالله

  تفاقمت 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. (…)

• رامسفبلد لشولتز: لا عدل ولا سلام في الشرق الاوسط بل نزاع وابتزاز وقتل!
  25 نيسان (أبريل) 2015, بقلم ريمون عطاالله

  في اواخر عام ١٩٨٣ اوفد جورج شولتز، وزير الخارجية الاميركي في ادارة الرئيس رونالد رمغان، مبعوثاً خاصاً الى لبنان والمنطقة لتقصي الاوضاع هناك. والمبعوث هذا هو دونالد رامسفيلد الذي كان وزيراً للدفاع في ادارة الرئيس جيرالد فورد، ثم اصبح لاحقاً وزيراً للدفاع في ادارة الرئيس جورج دبليو بوش يوم تقرر غزو العراق وإطاحة نظام صدام حسين عام ٢٠٠٣. فكان اصغر وزراء الدفاع سناً في تاربخ الولايات المتحدة في ولايته الاولى، وكان اكبر وزراء الدفاع سناً في تاربخ اميركا في ولايتة الثانية. وقد حصل «الديبلوماسي» (…)

• A racist Jewish state
  19 April 2009

  Every 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 (…)

• My message to the West – Israel must stop the slaughter
  18 January 2009, by Ismail Haniyeh

  I write this article to Western readers across the social and political spectrum as the Israeli war machine continues to massacre my people in Gaza. To date, almost 1,000 have been killed, nearly half of whom are women and children. Last week’s bombing of the UNRWA (UN Relief Works Agency) school in the Jabalya refugee camp was one of the most despicable crimes imaginable, as hundreds of civilians had abandoned their homes and sought refuge with the international agency only to be (…)

• 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 (…)

• If I were a Palestinian
  27 avril 2009, par Akiva Eldar

  In a moment of candor, Ehud Barak once said : "If I were a Palestinian of the right age, I would join, at some point, one of the terrorist groups."
  If I were a Palestinian, of any age, I would declare an all-out war on all terrorist groups and fulfill the demand of the Jews to recognize the State of Israel as the state of the Jewish people. Furthermore, as a present on the birthday of the Jewish people, as it completes 61 years of existence, I would announce that I also respect its (…)

• La question majeure des responsabilités dans la situation actuelle à Gaza
  30 décembre 2008, par Association France-Palestine Solidarité

  La question de savoir qui porte la responsabilité centrale de la situation actuelle à Gaza est absolument essentielle pour agir utilement aujourd’hui. Pour Georges W. Bush la question ne se pose tout simplement pas : Israël est, comme toujours, en « état de légitime défense ». Point. Pour l’Union européenne c’est l’affirmation d’un renvoi dos à dos apparent. Elle demande « l’arrêt des actions israéliennes contre Gaza et l’arrêt des tirs de roquettes ». Ce sont ces derniers qui seraient (…)

• 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 (…)

• Ethnic Cleansing and Israel
  4 March 2009, by Conn Hallinan

  One of the more disturbing developments in the Middle East is a growing consensus among Israelis that it would acceptable to expel—in the words of advocates “transfer”—its Arab citizens to either a yet as unformed Palestinian state or the neighboring countries of Jordan and Egypt.
  Such sentiment is hardly new among Israeli extremists, and it has long been advocated by racist Jewish organizations like Kach, the party of the late Rabbi Meir Kahane, as well as groups like the National Union, (…)

• 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 (…)
