Israel

Reminding Kissinger’s role

One of the most disturbing attributes of the neoconservatives is their willingness to subordinate the United States' national interests to those of Israel. To be sure, the attempt is frequently made to demonstrate that the two nations' interests are identical, but a careful analysis of the impact of Israel's domestic and foreign policies can only conclude that the

Russia: Israel, Palestinian Leaders Agree to Meet for Talks

Leila Khaled on ISIS and Islamism, Syria and the Palestinians

A terrorist for the Israelis, Khaled was a symbol throughout the world for the Palestinian armed struggle, following her participation in one of the four simultaneous hijackings of September 1970, inspiring songs, films and works of art internationally.

Diaspora Jews Are Joining Palestinians in Nonviolent Resistance to the Occupation

I’ve always wondered if a day would come when there would be a cause so important that I would be willing to get arrested for standing up for what I believe in.
