International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network

Michael Kalmanovitz, 10-10-2008 01:17

For the past two years IJAN has been building a network to support Palestinian resistance, and to work with and seed new Jewish anti-Zionist organizing. We intend to contribute to a growing international voice that challenges Zionism and its claim to speak on behalf of Jews worldwide; and to contribute to the movement to defeat US-backed Israeli imperialism, occupation and ethnic cleansing.

israel 'celebrates' 60 years of illegal military occupation of palestine

ruth, 12-04-2008 13:28

This year marks 60 years of the creation of the state of Israel resulting in the ethnic cleansing of over 750,000 Arab Palestinians and the destruction over 400 of their villages. There are a number of disgraceful events planned by Zionist groups who do not represent the majority of British Jews or Israelis. These are mainly happening in London and Manchester in next few months, ignoring the reality of the ongoing illegal military occupation of Palestine.

Will Manchester United Celebrate Israel at 60?

David Thomson, 11-01-2008 12:56

The Israeli government has invited Manchester United to play a match during the state’s 60th anniversary celebrations. Ron Prosor, Israel's UK ambassador, seems to be trying to “improve Israels image” by associating the country with a hugely successful brand. I fail to see what good it will do Man Utd to be associated with the worlds worst brand, especially at a time of year when Israel is celebrating their independence at the expense of the Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed.
