• 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 (…)
• Arabs to strike against ’wave of racism’
  6 September 2009, by Roee Nahmias
  The Higher Arab Monitoring Committee announced on Wednesday that it will hold a general strike next month in protest of the government’s policies. In the meeting, held in Nazareth, it was decided that the strike will take place on the same day that the events of October 2000, which left 13 Israeli-Arabs dead, are commemorated. The one-day strike will include all sectors in Arab towns. This is a relatively serious move, since it has been a few years since the last general strike in the (…)
• 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

• 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 (…)
• Fear Not
  19 August 2010, by Israel Shamir
  1. Crying Wolf So many people have circulated so many warnings of the forthcoming US-Israeli attack on Iran that it is hard to ignore them. A piece written by a few ex-spooks warning of a new round of war is one of these messages. In our view, spooks, ex or not, are not the most reliable people, and the CIA is not the best reference. However, this item fits with the dire predictions and accompanying Israeli U-boats to the shores of Iran. Rumours of Israeli advance forces being placed in (…)
• Israel’s Kafkaesque "Matrix of Control"
  3 février 2007, par Stephen Lendman
  Finding an equitable solution to the intractable, festering decades-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the Gordian Knot that must be cut to achieve peace overall in the Middle East. Today, no solution is in sight nor are any serious efforts planned to find one despite occasional rhetoric to the contrary like what’s now being heard from Washington with similar disingenuous echos inside Israel. Palestinians know otherwise from long experience. They’ve heard this siren song before. It’s the (…)
• Israeli plan for settlement building angers US
  5 September 2009, by Steven Gutkin
  Israel said Friday it will construct hundreds of new housing units in West Bank settlements before any slowdown in building, an announcement that drew harsh criticism from Washington, which demands a complete settlement freeze as a prelude to renewing Mideast peace talks. Israeli officials painted the move as a concession to the U.S. demand because it might bring a temporary halt to other construction. But since it would also mean building the new units and finishing some 2,500 others now (…)
• De la propagande : entretiens avec David Barsamian - Fayard 2002
  12 avril 2007, par Noam Chomsky
  Que répondez-vous à ceux qui, entendant votre critique d’Israël et de son recours à une force excessive, vous demandent : et la Syrie ? Pourquoi ne parlez-vous pas de la Libye ou de l’Irak ? La situation n’y est-elle pas infiniment pire ? Bien sûr. J’ai parlé du Pakistan à l’instant. Ces pays sont bien pires. J’en conviens. Je ne critique pas vraiment. Je me contente de citer Human Rights Watch et Amnesty International. Ces commentaires sont très prudents. Je m’en tiendrais à leur point de (…)
• The Joke in Annapolis
  27 November 2007, by Uri Avnery
  The Annapolis conference is a joke. Though not in the least funny. Like quite a lot of political initiatives, this one too, according to all the indications, started more or less by accident. George Bush was due to make a speech. He was looking for a theme that would give it some substance. Something that would divert attention away from his fiascos in Iraq and Afghanistan. Something simple, optimistic, easy to swallow. Somehow, the idea of a "meeting" of leaders to promote the (…)
