The massacre at Deir Yassin. The Palestinian village of Deir Yassin was attacked on the 9th April 1948 by Jewish terrorists (Israel did not exist until the declaration of 14th May 1948) of the Irgun and Lehi terrorist groups supported by a Palmach mortar unit of the Haganah, another Jewish terrorist organisation. Around 170 Palestinian civilians, including women and children, were killed, with the survivors being loaded on trucks and driven off for a “victory” parade. These terrorist groups were subsequently absorbed into the Israeli Defence Forces and have continued their programmes of terrorism, aggression and ethnic cleansing against the people in the occupied lands of Palestine ever since and the world turns a blind eye.

In May of 2014, I wrote "Polling stations empty, few voters but still only one pre determined winner. No doubt the final figures will show that "99% of voters" cast their ballots and of these the "vast majority" chose al-Sisi. A sham election, with a sham outcome. The coup of (last year) 2013, (no matter what the Americans may call a military take over), which overthrew a democratically elected President has completed the circle and installed ...

No. Blame this "intifada",on the continuing occupation of Palestine by a barbaric and increasingly vicious Israeli occupation force. Blame this "intifada" on the illegal and inhuman blockade of Gaza by Israel from land and sea and daily airstrikes against the people trapped in the Gaza strip.

This murderous, thieving, racist hypocrite is, by me at least, not welcome in this country. Any visa application should be ripped up and thrown into the bin. We have barred many other loathsome politicians from coming here on the grounds of civil rights abuses, war crimes, human rights violations and other reprehensible activities. Netanyahu has all these charges against him and should be stopped from entering the United Kingdom.

They occupy a place within society that is probably unique, in terms of laws and restrictions being applied for the protection of a minority, which is not afforded to any other group or religion.

https://youtu.be/b8sV1WTJbs4 Video: “Death to the Arabs” march forces its way through occupied Jerusalem Demonstration was part of the “Tour of the Gates” through the of the Old City. This video is as disgusting as it is disturbing. In many countries around the world, including the United Kingdom, Jews are protected by law from discrimination,anti semitism and abuse in the media or elsewhere. They occupy a place within society that is probably unique, in terms of laws and restrictions being applied for the protection of a minority, which is not afforded to any other group or religion. However, this demonstration in occupied East Jerusalem, with the demonstrators chanting "Death to the Arabs" specifically targeted at Palestinians passes unnoticed be the western media and not mentioned by politicians who should be protesting to the Israeli government. Again, a case of "Israel can do no wrong" is the overriding factor in this countries relationship wi...

The agreement provided for the opening of the border crossings to allow building materials, medical supplies and other essential materials into Gaza, the shrinking of the "buffer zone", around the perimeter of Gaza to allow Palestinians access to their farm lands, and the extension of the fishing zones around Gaza to 12 miles. Due to the duplicitous relationship between the ruling clique of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Egypt and the Israeli occupation forces in Palestine under the government of Benjamin Netanyahu in Tel Avi...
http://english.pnn.ps/index.php/national/9396-female-6-year-old-stoned-by-israeli-settlers Israeli "settlers" stone 6 year old girl. "Settlers" stoning child in Hebron Why should we have any sympathy or express any support for Israeli "settlers" who occupy Palestinian land and attack Palestinian children? The Israeli armed forces killed 2140 of which 513 were children, during operation "Protective Edge" in Gaza last July, adding to the thousands of children killed in Palestine during "Cast Lead" and other Israeli aggressions over recent years. It seems that the Israeli "settlers" in Hebron, are following the example set by the IDF.
The world ignores the fact that Israel is no different than Islamic State in its destruction of antiquities.
Israel has been destroying Palestinian antiquities since 1948. The town of Lifta destroyed in 1948. One of the first of hundreds Can anyone please explain how Islamic State destroying antiquities in Iraq is any different from Israel destroying historic Islamic sites dating back to the Umayyad, Abbasid and Ottoman eras in occupied Jerusalem (as well as hundreds of Palestinian homes in the city). Can anyone please also offer some explanation as to why Israeli destruction in Jerusalem (and other locations in the occupied territories) is almost totally ignored by the western media, television and governments. This is yet another example of western hypocrisy in the region and the incessant "Israel can do no wrong" mentality brought about by the collective guilty conscience in western governments.
http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2015/jan/18/theresa-may-pledges-extra-police-patrols-counter-antisemitism-threat Theresa May pledges extra police patrols to counter antisemitism threat Eric Pickles and Mrs May hold up signs declaring 'Je suis juif' It is a shameful act of duplicitous hypocrisy, when Theresa May and too many other politicians like her, spout pious rhetoric about " the risk to the Jewish community" and the measures to be taken to deal with hate crime. These "political leaders" fall over themselves with acts of appeasement, and yet completely ignore the daily "hate crimes" against Palestinians in the occupied territories and the slaughter of more than 2000 women and children in Gaza during "Operation Protective Edge" in June/July of last year. These politicians and their despicable hypocrisy, deserve nothing but contempt.
The governments of the west, preparing us for what is becoming an inevitable clash of civilisations. The governments in the West, particularly those of France, the United kingdom and the United States, are out of control and the media and television, so eager to absorb the latest round of “updates” emanating from the government propaganda machine, vie with each other to produce the most sensational or vivid headlines for the next edition or the next news broadcast on their channel. In this respect, the media have done a first class job in persuading vast sections of the people, that the “threat” of Islamic extremism is so severe so as to warrant even more restrictions on individual civil liberties and to justify the proposition that government agencies, should without any checks, controls or balances, be able to monitor all forms of communications between people, by fax, e-mail, Skype links, telephone or any other means. In addition to this, government agencies are forc...

However, why should he be forced to apologise or even resign for a remark which is demonstrably true and echo's what many people believe to be the hypocrisy of western values when discussing the question of Palestine. The BBC again demonstrates their corporate bias and hypocrisy, this time directed at one of their own reporting staff. Clearly the concept of "Freedom of Speech" has been conveniently overlooked and emphasises the point that the BBC and other bodies, cons...
http://www.haaretz.com/news/middle-east/.premium-1.636538 Egypt to raze 2000 more homes for Gaza "Buffer zone" Demolishing homes in Rafah Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, dictator of Egypt, who with American and Israeli backing overthrew the democratically elected President with a bloody coup, authorised mass arrests and show trials of journalists, political opponents,and dissidents continues with his programme of terror and punishment on the people of Gaza and Palestine. Acting on "instructions from Tel Aviv and no doubt Washington, Egyptian authorities have begun implementing phase two in the flattening of large swaths of Rafah. An evil cabal in Cairo conspiring with the evil Tel Aviv and Washington axis to inflict punishment, pain and misery on men women and children in Palestine. The world says nothing in criticism of this shameful act.
In the wake of President Mahmoud Abbas address to UN, a voice of reality from amongst the vitriolic responses.
http://www.haaretz.com/opinion/.premium-1.617951# Israel’s criticism of Abbas’ speech is the rhetoric of despair Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas addresses UN General Assembly One Israeli newspaper at least is prepared to think the unthinkable and speak the unspeakable truth, that Israel and the Israeli leadership are wrong. "The government is now grasping at Abbas’ statements as if it were grasping at a life raft. But leaning on Abbas’ speech reflects nothing but fear and weak leadership. Israel has neither an answer nor a strategy for the diplomatic elements in Abbas’ address." Haaretz: Sunday, September 28, 2014 Tishrei 4, 5775 The longer that Israel resists the inevitable establishment of a Palestinian State, based on the 1967 borders, then the more they will become isolated and marginalised around the world.

However, many people, myself included will remember her only for her comment on the of the 11th August 2014, some 25 days ago, when she said “Palestinians deserve to be dead. They started it. We now don't count who's dead. You're dead, you deserve to be dead.” Since then the total number of Palestinians killed has risen to over 2100 of which more that 500 are children.

http://www.aljazeera.com/news/middleeast/2014/08/clone.of.life-returns-gaza-as-truce-holds-20148271.html Life returns to Gaza as truce holds but Netanyahu faces criticism in Israel over the offensive. Palestinians celebrate the beginning of the truce in Gaza City After 50 days of intense bombardment by Israeli military forces and fierce resistance from the Palestinian factions within Gaza, the ceasefire brokered by the Egyptians came into effect at 17:00 yesterday (26th August). Not withstanding what Mark Regev, the Israeli mouthpiece for Benjamin Netanyahu, may say to try to convince you otherwise, the ceasefire terms agreed to in Cairo are not the same as those that were "on the table", 3 weeks ago. By now of course, we are only too well aware of how Mark Regev, Peter Lerner, Ron Prosor and other Israeli spokespersons are, without even batting an eyelid, able to turn fantasy and wishful thinking into their presentation of "fact and truth"....
When the "News" is neither accurate or comprehensive. At 10pm last night, we had stories covering Nouri al-Maliki, Ferguson Missouri, mount Sinjar, Robin Williams, GCE A levels, Sir Cliff Richard, David Cameron and arming the Kurds, Russia and the Ukraine, Syria, European athletics, Ebola, Eurozone, Tony Pulis (I did not know who he is either. It seems that he is/was the manager of Crystal Palace), and a number of other, in some cases even less significant stories than those listed, purporting to be "The News". BBC Television News channel, Sky News, The News from ITN and even Aljazeera, all carrying stories and reports of events at home and from around the world. However, what was conspicuous by its absence on all news channels, certainly the ones which I saw at least, was any report on the current situation in Gaza. Not a mention or even a word. It was as if Gaza had completely ceased to exist and had disappeared into the sea. Aljazeera did not mak...

Col Peter Lerner is lying (again). It seems that Israeli forces targeted 3 militants on a motor cycle. In an interview shown on Aljazeera Television, Lerner says that the extensive damage to the UN school and the deaths of at least 10 Palestinians, was probably as a result of the "militants" carrying explosives. The UN school was being used as a shelter for 3000 civilians. United Nations school sheltering displaced people

Hadar Goldin Now that the authorities have established that 2nd Lt. Hadar Goldin was in fact killed in action, rather than being "kidnapped" by Hammas or any of the other Palestinian resistance fighters in Gaza, will we now see some sort of apology from Obama, Ban Ki-Moon, Cameron or any of the western leaders who were so quick to leap onto the band wagon of "condemning in the strongest terms" or "demanding the immediate unconditional release", or any of the other frenzied clamour which filled our media and news reports for most of yesterday? Somehow, I doubt it, as the purpose of the hysteria has now been fulfilled. Obama, Cameron and the other pro Israel leaders, were able to divert atte...
