The well-funded bipartisan group “No Labels” wants politicians to compromise, but its CEO says “there is no middle ground” when it comes to Israel. Why is media coverage leaving this part of the story out?
Here in Gaza, the people who are not killed when their homes are turned into rubble by Israeli bombs are called ‘survivors’. But in reality, they cannot really be called such. How can you be a survivor if you have lost everything?
The Flag March represents the Zionist ethnic cleansing of Palestine and the imposition of Israeli colonial dominance over Jerusalem. It is part of the Zionist forever war on Jerusalem.
On May 15th, as people worldwide commemorated the 75th anniversary of the ongoing Nakba, the City University of New York ramped up its repression of student-led Palestine solidarity organizing.
The Flag March continued the Zionist war on Jerusalem, while the assault on Palestinian resistance renewed itself following a deadly Israeli raid on Balata refugee camp, leaving 3 Palestinians dead.
Just as the Nakba is at the heart of Palestinian national existence, the denial of the Nakba is at the heart of the racist ideology that has so successfully warped U.S. foreign policy.
Israel prevents its Jewish citizens from coming to terms with the country’s horrific treatment of Palestinians. Sadly, the Jewish community in the U.S. is no different.
The venom of the Israel lobby toward the Nakba is understandable. Acknowledging the Nakba doesn’t just undermine the “miracle” of Israel, but the state’s legitimacy in the eyes of idealistic Americans.
Over 75 years, the number of Palestinian refugees has surpassed 6 million worldwide and many still live in refugee camps. This is a look at the people who make up the camp, and the names and faces behind the term “refugee.”
