There was never a better moment for the BDS (Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions) movement to mass-mobilise for a mega-campaign to not only impact more heavily on the lawless Israeli state but also unmask those in business and public life who shamelessly support the criminal programme that was embedded in its DNA while on the Zionists' drawing board.

- This is a unique significant tactical achievement that proves that the Palestinian leadership in Gaza is significantly more sophisticated than the Likuds.

Jewish Left a la Chomsky is a grave problem. At the very least it has been an obstacle that prevented the Palestinians from grasping the real context of their struggle.

The UK Methodist conference has ducked the opportunity to extend BDS to the whole of Israel. They are content to limit it to firms that operate in the illegally-occupied Palestinian territories for the timebeing.

- The real story is how not a single Western country will take any criminal action over a conspiracy to subvert the rights of its respective citizens

- " It seems that the American Studies Association’s (ASA) boycott resolution vote has rattled the Zionist cages."

Of course, it wasn't going to be long before the Board of Deputies of British Jews (BoD) stuck their oar into the Methodists' big debate on BDS (Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions) against Israel http://www.methodist.org.uk/bdsbriefing, which included a public consultation questionnaire.

The Methodist Church in Britain has invited individuals, NGOs, faith groups and government organisations in the UK, Israel/Palestine and beyond to take part in a consultation exercise and answer questions on what it calls “the wider context around BDS“.

A story of transformation from a “Jewish, lesbian New Yorker” into a “Cosmopolitan queer and avid BDS advocate" reveals some shocking intimate details...

Was rock star "Perry Farrell," née Peretz Bernstein, grinning a "we got away with it" grin when he posed with that guy in the "9/11 was an inside job" T-shirt? Or was he just too stoned to read?

BDSit will be remembered as possibly the most repugnantly treacherous chapter in the history of the Palestinian struggle. And this is indeed painful and tragic.

We spoke about Jewish Power and Jewish progressive spin in particular. We elaborated on the role of beauty and art and politicians impotence in that regard.

“Does this pain ever go away? Not when it remains unresolved does it ever really go away, and of course the Liberty matter still remains unresolved."

This Monday's talks between President Obama and Prime Minister Netanyahu maybe the most consequential encounter yet between the U.S. and Israel and the focus is all on Iran.

Has Prof. Finkelstein finally flinched? Has he capitulated to the global Zionist machine?

March 30, 2012 is The Global March to Jerusalem and the 36th anniversary of LAND DAY. As “reality leaves much to the imagination” [John Lennon] I imagine the third intifada could finally erupt...

Voltaire’s wit often illuminates truth. Consider this revealing “thought” as expressed recently in Alert, the voice of AIPAC to its membership.

No real change can occur in the undeniable reality of the ruthless oppression practiced on all Palestinians by Zionist Israel without US support.

The night before President Obama’s State of our Union Address, Israeli authorities demolished the Beit Arabiya Peace Home for the fifth time. While standing astride those ruins, ICAHD Director Dr. Jeff Halper, vowed, "We shall rebuild, we must rebuild as an act of political defiance of the occupation and protracted oppression of Palestinians.”

The world’s eyes are still fixed on the Middle East, and the first half of September has delivered two profound events in Egypt and Turkey that have sent shockwaves through the Israeli establishment.
