Very sad that Trump has thrown in with this guy. On Jared Kushner fired me over Israel ten years ago It is all just revolting and sickening. Period On Israel cancels 250,000 Palestinian permits to enter Israel during Ramadan after deadly attack Very interesting piece, I think. I find it fascinating your first trip to Israel was a decade ago! I was in a kibbutz for a summer in 1969 and I am not much older than you. And not Jewish. Then there was Gaza in 1975, and much more since. All my life it's been painful to be a journalist trying to get word out about the Occupation. On Jared Kushner fired me over Israel ten years ago Lauder: loud mouth. The Zionist thieves have no conscience. ALL the world is really asking them to do is give up the Occupation and siege on Gaza. Lets the Palestinians breathe. Too bad they will soon be a majority west of the Jordan. One loses all sympathy for the racists in Israel. On Israel commandeers UN for anti-BDS pep rally And you, Palikari? I would submit that you are a moron to suggest N is anything but racist Zionist. On Netanyahu’s craziness is calculated, to drive out Palestinians In my view ANY military action planned or actual against the Israelis at this point is absolutely counter productive and absurd, not to mention it allows the assholes in Israel to bomb and kill anyone they please in Gaza and the West Bank, and the civilians are the one who suffer most. Israel would and will be on the ropes because of world opinion and isolation, AS LONG AS the Palestinians don't do stupid things like provoke an attack by launching those idiot rockets from Gaza or anywhere. I say the same to Hizballah. Don't let the Israelis do what they love most: butchery, by provocation. Let the world sort this mess out and it will, in time, because everyone with half a brain knows where justice lies. On Gaza’s al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades prepares for next Israeli war How much does Israel have to be reviled world wide for there to be change forced upon the Israeli government? When does Israel become so despised that it collapses for lack of support, even from America? On Resistance is our duty, too I reported from Gaza in 1975 and it was a places of warm people and horrid conditions. Nothing has changed. Fuck the Likud and its friends. They should all be facing the ICC. On ‘We are moving from Iron Dome to an iron fist’: Israel launches ground invasion of Gaza A bit of daylight at last in the mainstream on the truth. I am really encouraged by this. Netanyahu and Co need to fry under the gaze of public condemnation worldwide, and particularly in the US. I've met the settlers, I've been in the West Bank. I was even a guest of the Grand Mufti on the Haram: I have seen it all and this is a most welcome trend. On Mainstream piece lays settler teen abduction at feet of ‘illegal’ and ‘indefensible’ occupation Disgusting, these people. On 10,000 Israeli teens follow mother-hen of extremist settler movement in anti-Kerry protest load more comments
