• Murdering Palestinians for their organs: "All facts on the ground prove Swedish report correct"
  24 August 2009, by Saed Bannoura
  Former 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.

• Israeli Economy for Beginners
  14 August 2011, by Gilad Atzmon
  We learn from the press and political analysts that, against all odds and in spite of the global financial turmoil, Israel’s economy is booming. Some even suggest that Israel is one of the strongest economies around. ‘How come?’ you may ask; besides maybe avocado, oranges, and some Dead Sea beauty products, none of us has actually ever seen an Israeli product on the shelves. They don’t make cars; nor do they make electric or electronic appliances, and they hardly manufacture any (…)
• The language of Zionism
  13 May 2010, by Joseph Massad
  The reason for the ongoing "violence" in Israel and Palestine is not on account of Israeli colonialism at all but rather a direct result of mistranslation. Joseph Massad provides an abridged lexicon of Zionist terminology
• The Tide Has Changed
  20 February 2010, by Gilad Atzmon
  London is ‘angry’ over the use of stolen identities by the Dubai assassins and points its finger at the Jewish state and its notorious Mossad espionage agency. The Israeli ambassador to Britain, Ron Prosor, was summoned yesterday by the foreign minister to “share information”. In practice Britain has stopped short of accusing Israel of involvement in the scandalous assassination, however to signal its displeasure the Foreign Office ignored an Israeli plea to keep the summons secret. (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
• 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 (…)
• إسرائيل ترتكب جريمة حرب "باردة" جديدة بتوزيع غنائم حرب ١٩٤٨
  8 آب (أغسطس) 2009
  صادق الكنيست الإسرائيلي يوم الاثنين ٢٠٠٩/٣/٨ على قانون جديد يسمح بخصخصة واسعة النطاق لما يعرف بـ«أراضي الدولة». مما يمكّن "الصندوق القومي لإسرائيل" من شراء أراضي اللاجئين الفلسطينيين ومن ثم بيعها لليهود فقط. وبموجب القانون الجديد الذي صوتت عليه أغلبية كبيرة ستقوم ما تعرف بـ«دائرة أراضي إسرائيل» ببيع عشرات آلاف الدونمات للصندوق القومي الإسرائيلي الذي سيتولى بيع وتأجير واستثمار أراضى اللاجئين الفلسطينيين التي لا يجوز لدولة إسرائيل التصرف بها. دراسة متأنية للقانون الجديد، في ضوء العرف الدولي (…)
