Valley of the Anti-Semites?

Israel is perhaps not used to being the bad guy in movies.

(ISTANBUL) - The Turkish film “Kurtlar Vadisi: Filistin”—“Valley of the Wolves—Palestine”— opened yesterday in Turkey.

Based on the immensely popular television series “Valley of the Wolves”, the film is a response to the May 2010 Israeli attack on the Turkish-led humanitarian aid flotilla en route to Gaza, which resulted in the murder of nine Turkish activists.

Operation Egypt from Anonymous

Anonymous release in English, Arabic, French and German.

(WORLDWIDE) - Anonymous can not, and will not stand idly while people are being denied their basic rights and human liberties.

Yet, there are still a lot of governments worldwide who fail to even aspire to the standard of freedom that was set by the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Richard Falk Is Right on 9/11-Will Obama and Friends Forsake Falk for Telling the Truth

Did we miss something? What’s the problem here?

(MADISON, Wi.) - Richard Falk, UN Special Rapporteur on human rights in Occupied Palestine, is under fire for writing what is obviously true about the U.S. government and the media. Calls for his firing abound from the usual suspects.

Such commitments to truth as Falk possesses can pose problems for prospective careerists, but the 80-year-old human rights activist and scholar likely doesn’t care all that much about resulting slander.

On Jewish Identity

As soon as exclusivity or superiority is claimed for any ethnic or religious fraction of the human whole, there is implicitly posited a belief in the inferiority of ‘the other.’

(LOS ANGELES) - As someone who is both Jewish and supportive of the Palestinian struggle for a just and sustainable peace, I am often asked about my identity.

The harshest critics of my understanding of the Israel/Palestine conflict contend that I am a self-hating Jew, which implies that sharp criticism of Israel and Zionism are somehow incompatible with affirming a Jewish identity. Of course, I deny this.

Valley of the Wolves

If Germans are genuinely interested in the Nazi past, they better look closely at Israeli current brutality.

(LONDON) - Valley of the Wolves: Palestine is a new Turkish movie portraying the Mavi Marmara massacre as a premeditated Israeli attack that was set to kill innocent peace activists.

An uproar has erupted in Germany in the last few days over the upcoming launching of the film. The film's intended release date in Germany is January 27, the same day as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Is America Rubber Stamping Apartheid in Palestine?

Includes related videos by Anthony Lawson.

(MELBOURNE) - “More and more, Americans from all walks of life are talking about Israel's influence in Washington, looking for someone to blame. Americans are angry, feeling powerless, victimized by their own government.

Some of that blame takes the form of Antisemitism, again rearing its ugly head, but most of it is expressed in healthy skepticism, skepticism of a government showing signs of having been bought.

Anonymous Sends Message to Journalists

DEAR JOURNALISTS OF THE WORLD...

(EARTH) - You were intrigued by us when we took on the financial sector by attacking Visa, Mastercard, and Paypal as part of Operation Payback.

Many of you became enamoured with us during Operation Tunisia and applauded our efforts.

Israel Strikes Back

Though the U.S. reliably vetoes Security Council resolutions at Israel’s request, sentiments are shifting as a global public awakens to the costs of the U.S.-Israeli relationship.

(TEMPE, Ariz.) - Timing is everything when waging war “by way of deception,” the motto that has long guided Israeli war-planners. Whenever Israel’s geopolitical goals are threatened, chaos is assured.

In national security terminology, the January 24th bombing at Moscow’s busiest airport was “out of theater repositioning.”

Afghanistan: The Karzai-Medvedev Russian Roulette
