experienceThrough support for Israeli occupations and participation in American invasions of Muslim countries, Britain has ended up spawning tens or even hundreds of millions of “radicalized Muslims” across the world, British MP George Galloway told RT.
Her Name is Rachel Corrie

Erdogan Nails It and US Replies…

NRA Opens Gaza Chapter
The National Rifle Association announced today the opening of its new chapter in the Palestinian Gaza Strip. Wayne LePire, NRA Executionary Vice President, said the establishment of an NRA chapter in Gaza was long overdue. “We hope to achieve for Palestinians the same right that we enjoy as Americans to accumulate our own personal arsenals [...]

Palestinian Children in Israeli military detention Here in South Tottenham (London), attending a Twinning Conference organised excellently and robustly by Haringey Justice for Palestinians[1], a creative branch of the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, I am just recovering from the icy cold outside, in possession of a brimming coffee and in the company of good people doing [...]
Arab Tea and Sympathy: Gaza, Jewry and The Right of Return
Today’s extremist Jew has three very real, equally grave, concerns: The international backlash over the fact that Israel did 9/11. The end of Rothschild’s fractional reserve, Fiat currency scam (i.e. paper money) and economic system of usury (i.e. money lending at high interest to incur massive debts on the borrower). The Palestinian right of return [...]
Gaza’s courage under fire puts a brake on the Zionists’ evil ambition
Israel’s latest brainless onslaught has spectacularly backfired. First, the courage and resilience of the Palestinians in Gaza has won the hearts and minds of the world. In Stephen Lendman’s words, “we’re all Gazans now”. The Hamas government, which has been forced to operate under impossible conditions ever since it was elected in 2006, earns grudging [...]
What do YOU think?
Did you think that Cast Lead four years ago was enough (1), and the governments of the world after that would stop the Mad Dog? Do you think the Mad Dog is about the UN, EU, Nato, US, Great Britain, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, Iran and other nations? Maybe you think it is about neo-colonialism, imperialism or [...]
How many children will Israel slaughter before world leaders deliver law and justice?
Despite the piles of dead in Gaza and – for the second time in four years – the row upon row of charred and broken little bodies of children, Western leaders still shirk their duty and call on the two parties to restart the squalid, lopsided peace process that had led nowhere and only serves [...]
Human rights: The People vs the UN
Even as the US government is re-elected to the UN Human Rights Council, the UN Committee Against Torture hears a complaint against Bush, notes Eric Walberg The recent death of Iranian dissident blogger Sattar Beheshti in police custody was a sad event. All human life is precious. If anyone kills a person unless in retribution for [...]
Operation Pillar of Cloud: Jewish Federations Raise $5 million for Victims
Within days of the Israeli attack on Gaza, code named Pillar of Cloud (Hebrew) and Pillar of Defense (English), the Jewish Federations of North America announced that they had raised an astonishing $5 million for the victims. When I told some of the victims that I was going to interview Ms. Goldie Reichstein, Chair of [...]
Still Weeping for Gaza
Exactly five years ago I was in Gaza to see the situation for myself. That was before the murderous blitzkrieg they called Operation Cast Lead, but Israel’s crimes against humanity were already piled high. When I got home memories of the visit so haunted me that I sat down and wrote an article titled “See [...]
Presidential Debates
The coming U.S. elections have monopolized the attention of the American mainstream media and voters. Economic issues held sway over the first of two presidential debates, and foreign policy governed the second. According to the latest Gallup poll, Americans who watched the second presidential debate say Barack Obama did a better job than Mitt Romney, [...]
Gaza: Mursi Disappoints
Gaza: Mursi Disappoints “The situation of the crossing under Hosni Mubarak was better. The situation today is somewhat chaotic.” Iki is surprised by “Hamas’ silence regarding this decision.” “Hamas does not want a tense relationship with Egypt’s rulers, the MB. It knows that if it loses its relationship with the MB, it will lose an [...]
The Proper Procedure for Killing Unarmed Civilians
An Israeli military spokesperson announced Sunday that an Israeli soldier referenced only as Staff Sergeant “S” would serve 45 days in prison for killing Ria Abu Hajaj and her daughter Majda during the January, 2009 invasion of Gaza code-named “Cast Lead”. The sentence was the result of a plea agreement. I was able to locate [...]
Gazan Palestinians Fleeing Syria Arrive in Cairo
Around 100 Gazan Palestinians, who were living in Syria, have arrived at Cairo airport. Because of the situation in Damascus, with heavy fighting in some areas between Assad’s forces and the Free Syrian Army, the Gazans have not been able to secure visas to travel home. They, like many other thousands of civilians, have had to [...]
Life & Death Under Siege in Gaza
We in Britain are a nation of animal lovers, in fact we often seem to care more about animal rights than human suffering. Stories of eccentric wealthy people leaving their fortune to cats’ homes and Brits opening up donkey santuaries in Cairo are typical manifestations of our love for “defenseless creatures” (of the non human [...]
Two Deaths – 7579.1 Miles Apart
Two deaths – 7579.1 miles apart, one in Gaza and one in Los Angeles, U.S.A.

The B.B.C. have the news of Whitney’s death as the headline “Whitney Houston’s Death Stuns Music [...]
Gaza Massacre
The Gaza Massacre “Cast Lead” – Western Complicity and Arab Collaboration. Most of us so-called ‘civilised’ people in the West watched the “Cast Lead” massacre in Gaza of just over three years ago from the comfort of our living-rooms on colour T.V. screens (high definition naturally) – so we can’t say that we didn’t know. Both [...]
