“Racist, nauseating and reminiscent of dark historical periods” — a question on an engineering exam at Ben Gurion U in Israel likens non-Jewish African refugees to rats

In 1948, the Palestinian mukhtar, or leader of Dawaymeh village, gave a sworn statement to the UN, never fully publicized before, stating that 100s had been killed by Israeli forces there in October 1948, long after the creation of the Jewish state

As the reality of Israel’s crimes become impossible to hide, our society is redoubling its efforts to defend them as “self defense”. Who on earth would want to save this society if this is what “survival” looks like?

Seeking to define Palestinians as Arabs is another way that Zionist Israelis have sought to deny Palestinian nationality on the part of non-Jewish citizens, to secure the state’s definition as the “Jewish State,” and to finish the Nakba by denying the existence of Palestine, outside of a couple of Bantustans.

Israelis’ angry response to Swedish FM Margot Wallstrom demonstrates primal Israeli fears of enemies. Israelis justify extrajudicial executions of Palestinian assailants because others’ irrational, primitive hatred is a pretext for Zionism.
