Israel and its supporters are engaging in Holocaust revisionism to justify its genocidal attack on Gaza.
Tom Suarez interviews Lamar Elias, who was recently named Artistic Director of l’Orchestre Symphonique Étudiant de Toulouse. “My hope is that music, and especially classical music, can be a voice of liberty for the Palestinian youth.”
Zionists deny that Israel had any part in the ethnic cleansing of Iraq’s Jews in 1950 to encourage Jewish immigration to Israel. But a core aspect of their exodus is omitted: the role of the Israeli airline, Near East Air Transport
Palestine’s Amwaj Choir has embarked on an ambitious eight-stop tour of Italy, which includes performing the opera “Amal — Oltre il Muro” based on the work of imprisoned Palestinian writer Walid Daqqah.

“I am proud to stand with the good friends and comrades victimised by the purge,’ filmmaker Ken Loach says of his expulsion from the Labor Party over bogus antisemitism allegations.

The news invariably invokes “Hamas” and “rockets” to explain the Israeli siege and massacres. No: Although Israel heightened its blockade after the rise of Hamas, the siege began in 1948 and has continued unabated since.

According to the new Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism, hostility to Israel “…could be the emotion that a Palestinian person feels on account of their experience at the hands of the State.” This, the sole appearance of the word “emotion” in the entire document, is applied exclusively to the direct victims of Israeli crimes, the very people who have the most fact-based, lived-experience for entirely rational “hostility” to the state. Categorizing the Palestinian response as emotional is to deny Palestinians the dignity to simply demand to be free of their shackles.
