This week the world's greatest peace fraud came to the Holy Land and funked it. Frankly, if that's the best he can do after four years in the job he has no business calling himself a world leader.

I have to admit, I was only dimly aware of the Dalet Plan before reading Alan Hart's latest article ’The green light for Zionism’s ethnic cleansing of Palestine’.

If reports are true, UK Liberal Democrats have appointed the pro-Israel lobby as ‘probation officers and educators’. They will judge if David Ward is ‘salvageable’ and lay down precise language rules.

A big fuss blew up last week when British MP George Galloway, invited to Oxford University to debate the motion "Israel should withdraw immediately from the West Bank", walked out of the chamber when he heard that the student opposing the motion was an Israeli.

A few weeks ago YouGov, with the European Parliament in mind and using two different methods, put support for UKIP at between 17% and 19%. So the Conservatives are under pressure while the LibDems (on a measly 8%) are set to lose badly.

Getting two devoted fans of Israel like UK Foreign Secretary William Hague and his junior minister Alistair Burt to explain their hostility towards Iran was never going to be easy.

Last week British MP David Ward was left wondering if his scalp would soon be hanging in the Zionists' tepee.

A Liberal Democrat MP in the UK, David Ward, is in hot water for his "use of language" in condemning Israelis for atrocities against the Palestinians while the horrors of their own suffering at the hands of the Nazis were still fresh in their memory.

Williams’s role as a figure of unity in the worldwide Anglican Communion, which is represented in over 130 countries, meant that he was in a position to bring the needs and voices of those fighting poverty, disease and the effects of conflict, to the attention of national and international policy makers and donor agencies.

This Christmas the Palestinian embassy in London sent out a particularly pathetic message.

The Palestinian Embassy in London has just issued a press release under the heading "Pressing need to halt Israel’s illegal settlement colonization campaign via political, legal, and diplomatic means".

My first Christmas greeting this year came all the way from Bethlehem itself, just yards from where the Big Story is supposed to have begun 2012 years ago.

Britain’s prime minister David Cameron has again shown why he should stand down from British politics.

Some commentators have been saying that Israel's latest land-grab has effectively killed off the two-state solution (if such a thing was ever truly feasible).

Earlier this week, in a sham show of ‘get tough’ diplomacy, UK foreign minister Alistair Burt announced that the Israeli ambassador had been formally summoned to the Foreign Office following Israel’s decisions to build 3,000 new housing units in occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank, unfreeze planning in the area known as E1 and withhold tax revenues from the Palestinian Authority.

You have rescued the chances of peace by supporting the forces of reason and responsibility rather than the irrational and irresponsible exercise of force and violence.

Promise not to prosecute Israeli war criminals, not to go for full UN membership, not to seek justice but submit to rigged talks, and we’ll support you.

Alistair Burt is the UK Foreign Office minister in charge of Middle East affairs. He is also a former officer of the Conservative Friends of Israel lobby group.

First, the courage and resilience of the Palestinians in Gaza has won the hearts and minds of the world. In Stephen Lendman’s words, “we’re all Gazans now”.

These words are printed on a tee-shirt I sometimes wear. They cut through the propaganda crap straight to the true cause of the latest unpleasantness in Gaza.

After yesterday’s dismal performance by the BBC’s flagship ‘Today’ news programme in quizzing the Israeli ambassador over the latest bloody assault on Gaza, this morning’s effort was a little better but still well short of what’s required in order to paint a truthful, balanced picture.

Recent scandals calling into question the news-handling skills of Britain’s national broadcaster don’t seem to have improved matters.

Israel refuses (unlike Iran) to sign the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and open its nuclear programme to international inspection.

The window of opportunity for peace between Israel and the Palestinians "is closing before our eyes", warns a hard-hitting report by 22 well-known and highly regarded NGOs from nine EU member states and from Norway and Switzerland.

UK Foreign Secretary William Hague has worked himself into a lather over Iran's blocking of a Foreign Office website.

Who in their right mind would volunteer to be that trio’s cannon-fodder?

The French have called it a “water occupation” against the Palestinians…

Fuel oil for power generation becomes a black market item.

Britain’s foreign secretary William Hague is taking a long time to answer the sort of questions he must have mulled over before starting this country along another warmongering road to hell.

The good citizens of Bethlehem are cut off from their capital Jerusalem, only six miles away, the rest of the West Bank and the whole world.

Prime minister David Cameron has told Britain: "We are a Christian country and we should not be afraid to say so."

The following report from Bethlehem University that academic staff had been attacked yet again, this time by Israeli squatters, reminds me of how the Israelis apparently resent the Palestinians’ fine education tradition.

Having disposed of the Murdoch menace - for the moment anyway - it's time for the British public to turn the spotlight on the other villains our craven politicians pay homage to.

Churchill, in his Battle of Britain speech 71 years ago, said: "If we can stand up to him [Hitler], all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands.

You're suddenly in the blockade busting business and if you succeed in getting through you'll put a lot of noses out of joint and symbolically squidge the evil ambitions of racist-supremacists like Netanyahu, Barak, Lieberman and Peres.

Jeff Halper looks ahead to the Palestinians’ “September moment”, when they intend to go for independence and apply for admission to the UN, and how the PA must move quickly to mobilize civil society support worldwide. International civil society is Palestinians’ “most important ally” by Stuart Littlewood

In the space of 45 minutes the US President showed, on 19 May at the White House, how he is rapidly earning a reputation for being the silliest man on the planet and the most untrustworthy.

I was all set to shunt Palestine into a mental siding because leadership is still lacking and so much time and effort is misdirected,...

The other day I looked back with sadness on how nothing had changed for the better since my last trip to Palestine three years ago. On that occasion I also visited Gaza, an experience indelibly etched on my memory.

“Showing no remorse for the 1,400 dead (including 320 children and 109 women), the thousands horribly maimed and the hundreds of thousand made homeless,...
