Never Ending Nakba

nakba1

As Ilan Pappe has said, most Israeli Jews have no idea of what they did to the Palestinians in 1948. (He also said that those who do know don’t think that what was done was wrong). But that’s only the tip of an iceberg of ignorance.

Sins of Our Fathers : al-Nakba

Olddman_boy_nakba VT

Victors’ celebrations harbor shadows that lurk in the soul as revelers dance in remembrance, burying in laughter the suffering screams of those displaced and destroyed, furiously hiding forgotten faces framed in fear from mocking the glorious dance should they be awakened once more by the reverie.

Congress Proposes Giving Israel an Extra $1 Billion for Firework Safety

Israeli children write messages of national unity, and then the bombs are used to attack Gazans, like this little girl on the left. The 'missiles' Israel claims it is attacked by, have killed 28 people in all time, Israel kills that many civilians sometimes in a week.

As news about Israeli political parties merging dominates headlines, this one is being overlooked.

For Israel, Punishing Palestinians is Not Enough

hope-palestine

History – praise be to Clio, the Greek muse of history – is no longer written only by the victors. But the conquerors still decide who is the hero, who is the soldier who acts as the judge and who is the defendant who is declared a terrorist even before he is convicted.

Iran, Netanyahu and the Holocaust

Entrance-Enclosed-Area-Beheshtieh cemetary

In his speech to AIPAC, Netanyahu referred to 1944 to make the case for war against Iran. He gets his history wrong again. In 1944, at a time when Nazi Germany was plotting the final solution, Iranian diplomats were busy handing out hundreds of passports to European and Iranian Jews in order to facilitate their exodus to Iran.

If Obama wins, will Israel attack Iran?

Roi-usaelections2012

In this era, the most efficient defense rendering such attack useless is by widely advertising it beforehand; articles like this one are a proper beginning for this. Only if the Israeli leadership understands that it will be seen as personally responsible for the event and would face international justice, only then it might refrain from the crime. Mr. Romney, Mr. Obama, do we agree on this?
