`Could Arab (Palestinian) Staying Power Ultimately Defeat Zionism?`

Israel needs notice that if it resorts to a final round of ethnic cleansing, it would be universally condemned as a criminal state.

(LONDON) - That was the headline over a recent post by David Hearst for The Guardian’s Comment Is Free space.

It began: “There is an Arabic word you come across a lot when Palestinians talk about their future. Sumud means steadfastness, and it has turned into a strategy: when the imbalance of power is so pronounced, the most important thing to do is to stay put. Staying put against overwhelming odds is regarded as a victory.”

Israel`s Test of Goodwill - the Freedom of Nuclear Weapons Whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu

New Video examines plight of engineer who spilled the beans about Israel's arsenal of undeclared nuclear weapons. Officials there decide this week if after nearly 20 years in prison, Vanunu can leave.

The Monsanto Anschluss

Long laid plans to undo the rule of law.

(WASHINGTON, D.C.) - To begin to appreciate the scope of Monsanto’s attack on the American people, one can look in three places, beginning with the USDA’s ruling on genetically modified Kentucky Bluegrass, and the agricultural – that is to say, food – element involved.

Rites of the Parents Against Rights of the Child; Circumcision, a Misdemeanor or a Crime?

Starting from a children judge point of view.

(PARIS, France) - This article had been written in support of the defenders of the child promoting the 2011 November ballot in San Francisco.

Learning Judge Georgi's decision quashing this ballot, we didn't change a line in it but we must say that if that decision is maintained, San Francisco, the USA and the world will lose much more.

The Landlord Wannabe Protest

Israel, that was supposed to be the state of the Jewish people, has become a haven for the richest and most corrupted Jews from around the world.

(LONDON) - It is almost amusing to find out that some of the most clichéd Marxists around are so taken by the current Israeli popular protest, which they foolishly interpret as a manifestation of the ‘Israeli revolutionary spirit’. They are convinced that now that the Israeli ‘working class’ are rising, peace will necessarily prevail.

Yet in fact, what we are really seeing unfold in Israel (at least for the time being) is the total opposite of a ‘working class’ re-awakening.
