GOLIATH Life and Loathing in Greater Israel

Zionist book burners of all sorts discredited the book and its author. Nevertheless, Blumenthal may have learned the necessary lesson.

(LONDON) - Max Blumenthal’s Goliath: Life and Loathing in Greater Israel is a good read: A personal journey of a young American righteous Jew who finds plenty of faults in other Jews in general and in The Jewish State in particular.

Blumenthal is a very good writer, his flow is fantastic. His delivery is overwhelmingly juicy on the verge of gossipy. He doesn’t pretend to be objective, precise or accurate.

John Olmsted and Maribel Gomez are hosting the Revolutionary Supper Club, Honduras-style!

TKMaxx Stop Selling Products That Fund Apartheid & Occupation In Palestine

Apartheid was not acceptable in South Africa so what makes it right in Palestine ?

(LONDON) - We urge TKMaxx who claim to be an ethical high street retailer to take a look once more at its ethical and moral values when trading with Israel.

Israel a state which profits from the land it seized back in 1967 through its large scale ethnic cleansing and ongoing occupation in Palestine. We as customers deserve the right to buy products without a guilty conscious. Dead Sea products made by companies being boycotted are labelled “ made in Israel” most are likely sourced directly or indirectly through illegal Israeli colonies on Palestinian land.

Netanyahu`s Two State Mask has Slipped

Kerry's effort to re-launch the peace process was based on the illusion that Netanyahu is committed to a two-state solution; its failure means that it's only a matter of time before the Palestinians fight back.

(TEL AVIV Ha'aretz) - No one familiar with Secretary of State John Kerry’s many years of service to the nation would dare underestimate his intelligence or diplomatic skills.

Yet no one familiar with the Israel-Palestine conflict, and the failure of half a century of negotiations to produce anything other than Israeli measures intended to create irreversible facts on the ground in order to prevent a two-state outcome, can believe that the peace process Kerry managed to relaunch against all odds can succeed.

Palin Puts Her Foot in Racist Soup Again

Owning human beings for profit and out of control debts... all the same to Palin.

(SACRAMENTO) - OK, we all know Sarah Palin is a ditz from day one and that in spite of her raucous conservative following, she is little more than an embarrassment most of the time. Well, she's back - this time comparing the national debt to slavery, yes that's right... slavery.

Palin compares the national debt which her party is largely responsible for in the first place, to slavery, which is the forced ownership of human beings.

UNICEF Needs Your Help for Philippine Disaster

UNICEF's resources in the Philippines are dangerously depleted. Every donation received will immediately be spent to provide more help, to save another child.

(MANILLA) - UNICEF's images from on-the-ground in the Philippines show unfathomable destruction.

Tsunami-like walls of water 13 feet high barreled inland, wiping away everything in their path. Evacuation centers designed to resist high winds proved to be death traps as sea water rose. More than 10,000 are believed dead in just one town, Tacloban City.

BDS Won`t Work, Zio Leaders Tell Methodists...

Thank heaven for organisations like JVP. There can surely be no doubt who Mr Arkush's "rejectionists of peace" really are.

(LONDON) - Of course, it wasn't going to be long before the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) stuck their oar into the Methodists' big debate on BDS (Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel, which included a public consultation questionnaire.

The BoD has now published their 33-page 'Response to the Methodist Church in Britain's Inquiry into the Tactic of BDS'
