The Palestine Liberation Movement is not about Anti-Semitism
24 May 2013 | I don’t disagree that the cowardly removal by Aljazeera of everything written by Joseph Massad is a travesty of justice and journalism and that their reinstatement is justified. But why was Massad trying to defend Palestinian rights based upon them being “the last of the Semites?”

Who Are These Human Rights Organisations Protecting?
20 May 2013 | Many questions have been asked, why the Human Rights organisations are not doing enough to help the Syrian people and why they would rather defending the actions of the Al Qaeda Terrorists who are killing innocent Syrians?

The Syrian Crisis: The Option
18 May 2013 | While all options are said to be still on the table, Barack Obama is clearly backing away from any deeper involvement in Syria now it is clear that nothing but direct intervention is going to bring down the government in Damascus. In the past few months alone the armed groups have lost thousands of men. Although the conflict will grind on for some time yet, the Syrian military is steadily closing down the insurgency.

‘Damascus is not suicidal, picking fight with Turkey defies logic’
12 May 2013 | The claim Damascus is behind the deadly blasts in Turkey should be taken with skepticism, believes Dr Conn Hallinan of Foreign Policy in Focus, who says the Syrian govt is not suicidal and it makes no sense to pick a fight with the biggest NATO army in Europe.

In Bed With Bibi Netanyahu
7 May 2013 | Once again we see a familiar pattern: our united ’progressives’ — a veritable synagogue, a collective of great humanists — lend their support to the oppressed. This time it is the ‘Syrian people’ whom they wish to liberate and their enemy is obviously Bashar Al-Asad.

Apologists for Israel take top posts at BBC
2 May 2013 | Introduction by Gilad Atzom: The Zionification of Britain is completed. However, the piece below is also a tragic glimpse into UK PSC’s impotence. It is far from being a secret that the PSC has been Zionised. However, Considering PSC colossal failure in representing Palestinian interests within British media, PSC unprecedented success in expelling Palestinians from its ranks is pretty remarkable indeed.

Pappe’s Discomfort
1 May 2013 | Ilan Pappe is an important voice. One of those courageous historians, brave enough to open the Pandora box of 1948. Back in the 1990s Pappe, amongst a few other Israeli post-Zionists, reminded Israelis of their original sin - the orchestrated, racially-driven ethnic cleansing of the indigenous people of Palestine - the Nakba.
