Israel's blonde bombshells and real bombs in Gaza

07-01-2009 09:05 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Palestine | World

The cynicism embedded in the name, selected for what Ari Shavit, one of Israel's most celebrated commentators, called "an intelligent, impressive operation," is symptomatic to the cold, meticulous and calculated cruelty with which this attack was "designed," "executed" and "marketed" to the world.

Speech delivered by anti-Zionist Orthodox Jews at the Gaza protest in London

03-01-2009 23:53 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Palestine | World

Throughout their history, the Zionists have resorted to intimidation, war, ethnic cleansing and state—sponsored terrorism to achieve their goals. But among this movement's greatest crimes, is that it has claimed to carry out these nefarious actions in the name of holiness, in the name of the Almighty, in the name of Judaism and the Jewish people !!

Israel is Guilty of Genocide and Crimes against Humanity

03-01-2009 19:48 | Anti-militarism | Anti-racism | Palestine | World

I cannot and will not respect anyone, especially a colonial population of genocide survivors, who in turn have the nerve to practice genocide. Jewish Nazism is still Nazism, even if brief passages from the Talmud are tucked under the yarmulkes of the murderous gunmen of the IDF.

Pop by M&S fill ya trolley, unload some at the till&then leave, at the bottom put a leaflet describing the situation. I have found this a vsuccessful non violent legal tactic. In fact filling the trolley or basket with lots of small items, try to pick nice items as hopefully any decent management will let staff have them free rather then spend ages putting them back. Isreal does about 240 millions worth of trade annually with Isreal& its CEO's have been key in political lobbying for Isreals illegal acts.

As we are about to celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King Jr's birthday, let us remember what he said. He said that the United States is the greatest purveyor of violence on the planet. And guess what: we experienced a little bit of that violence, because the weapons that are being used by Israel are weapons that were supplied by the United States government.

The Politics of An Israeli Extermination Campaign: Backers, Apologists and

When told that the great majority of the world’s people are sickened and incensed by Israel’s mass murder of the citizens of Gaza, we can easily imagine the contemptuous dismissal by Israel’s top leaders, paraphrasing Joseph Stalin: How many bombers, missiles, fighter planes and powerful lobbies do they (the outraged people of the world) have?
