Profile of a Racist Zionist State by Stephen Lendman Israel is no democracy. It deplores democratic values. It ignores rule of law principles. Non-Jews aren't wanted. Muslims are ruthlessly persecuted. They're terrorized. Praying to the wrong God is criminalized. Last week was like all others. Israeli soldiers murdered 29-year old Odeh Jihad Hamad in cold blood. He was well inside Israel's imposed border zone with Gaza. Soldiers shot him in the head. They prevented ambulance help from arriving for around 90 minutes. They wanted to be sure he died. They wanted him to suffer if it took time. In Jerusalem, Palestinian resident Hadassah Ein Karem was on his donkey. He was ...
Israel Attacks Gaza

Israel Attacks Gaza by Stephen Lendman It wasn't the first time. It won't be the last. It's done it numerous times before. It strikes aggressively. It does it lawlessly. It's longstanding Israeli policy. Cast Lead and Pillar of Cloud attacks were major acts of aggression. Many other strikes were modest by comparison. Israel lies claiming only militants are targeted in response to attacks on its territory. Non-combatants, residential communities, hospitals, mosques, schools, fishing vessels, refugee camps, other civilian targets, and vital infrastructure unrelated to military necessity are systematically attacked. They're considered prime targets. For days, Israeli ...

Samer Issawi's Liberating Struggle by Stephen Lendman Thousands of political prisoners languish in Israel's gulag. It's one of the world's harshest. Detainees face torture, intimidation, humiliation, and other abuses. Administrative ones are held indefinitely without charges or trials. Children are treated like adults. Horrific conditions include severe overcrowding. Poor ventilation and sanitation makes things worse. Inadequate clothing is policy. Wooden planks with thin mattresses are supplied for beds. So are filthy blankets. Food is inadequate in terms of quality, quantity, and conformity to Islamic dietary requirements. Medical care is appalling. Access to family ...

JERUSALEM, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Israeli ministers are demanding on Sunday the U.S. to end espionage in light of the revelation that the National Security Agency has spied on Israel's top leaders. "Now the secret is out," said Transportation Minister Yisrael Katz in a statement, "The U.S. is systematically spying on the defense and diplomatic leadership here in Israel. Is this how friends treat each other?" Katz said he would urge the cabinet's Sunday meeting "to demand an American commitment to end the surveillance." The Minister of International and Strategic Affairs Yuval Steinitz told Israel Radio that the eavesdropping is "illegitimate. ...

Woman petitions High Court of Justice against High Rabbinical Court’s decision to force her to perform Jewish ritual on infant, at father’s request. ‘Tomorrow they’ll force people not to eat pita bread during Passover as part of divorce case,’ she tells Ynet ynet A woman who is being forced by the High Rabbinical Court to circumcise her one-year-old son, at the request of the child’s father, says she is finding it difficult to understand how a divorce dispute has turned into a fundamental battle over freedom of religion and ritual. And although circumcision is an (almost) incontestable consensus among the Israeli public, she has no intention of giving up. ...

The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable Trust announced almost $22 million in new grants to four Israeli institutions. The four grants are being awarded to Magen David Adom, Barzilai Hospital, Haifa University and Friends of the Israel Defense Forces.

Elie Wiesel's Anti-Iranian Agenda by Stephen Lendman On December 18, The New Times ran a full-page anti-Iranian ad. It did so disgracefully. On December 19, the Wall Street Journal published it. It's an Elie Wiesel rant. It's hateful. It's racist. It's malicious misinformation. It's typical Wiesel. It's titled "Iran Must Not Be Allowed To Remain Nuclear." More on it below. Wiesel is no humanitarian. He's a shameless self-promoter. He's a holocaust exploiter. He made a career as a pseudo-official spokesman. Norman Finklestein calls him the "resident clown" of the holocaust circus. He described him as "vain, arrogant, gullible, ...

The European Union's envoy to the Middle East says the Israeli regime could face increasing sanctions if its actions lead to the failure of the so-called peace talks with the Palestinian Authority. Andreas Reinicke said in a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Thursday that there was a growing support among the 28-member body for the boycott of Israeli settler products. "There is movement in this direction… I think there is a general understanding among all 28 states that settlements are illegal under international law.” Last Palestinian-Israeli talks broke down in September 2010 after Tel Aviv refused to freeze its settlement activities in the occupied ...
Israeli Generals Preparing For "Short, Sharp" War Against Hezbollah

While a military campaign against Syria (and Iran) on the usual grounds has been postponed indefinitely, two nations in the Middle East have been seething: Saudi Arabia and, of course, Israel. Yet while Saudi Arabia rarely if ever gets its own hands dirty, instead executing its geopolitcal strategy through puppet states in need of its oil, Israel has never had a problem with engaging in offensive wars. And now that the threat of an imminent war, one which would have been largely carried out on the back of the US military, is gone Israel is preparing to do just that. According to UPI, "Israeli generals are preparing for a decisive -- and probably brief -- war against Hezbollah, one of ...

He said "(i)f you're not enjoying human rights, then you're definitely not enjoying sound mental health." Friends and associates called him indefatigable. After Israel's 1967 occupation, his father and brother were arrested. They were brutally tortured and abused. In the mid-1990s, he became Palestinian Independent Commission for Citizens' Rights Commissioner General. He took full advantage. He denounced Israeli and complicit Palestinian Authority human rights ...

Gaza's Humanitarian Crisis Deepens by Stephen Lendman Israel's lawless siege caused Gazans unspeakable misery. It shows no signs of ending. It got worse. Around 1.8 million people are affected. Mother nature wasn't kind. Once in a century storm conditions exacerbated human misery. Fierce winds and torrential rain battered the Strip. They began last Wednesday. They continued into the weekend. On Friday, things got worse. Gaza's Disaster Response Committee said Israel opened nearby dams. Doing so flooded numerous residential areas. Emergency conditions were exacerbated. Flooding reached dangerous levels in many areas. Thousands fled homes too risky to remain in. Lack of ...

The Iran Sanctions Game by Stephen Lendman Iran threatens no one. It's nuclear program is peaceful. Multiple rounds of US-dictated sanctions are illegal. They target millions of ordinary Iranians. They target Iran's economy. Neocons want stiffer sanctions imposed. Last July, House members passed more overwhelmingly. The Senate drafted a similar bill. Introducing it was postponed. So was a new House non-binding anti-Iranian resolution. It calls for stiffer sanctions. Later consideration is likely. Bashing Iran is official US policy. Softer Obama rhetoric masks it. Longstanding US policy calls for regime change. Washington tolerates no independent governments. Its global agenda ...

In Budget Crunch, Congress Still Triples Aid Request for Israel

Obama Asks for $96 Million, Congress Approves $284 Million With a budget crunch threatening programs across the board, almost every spending request that hits Congress gets only partially filled. Unless you’re talking Israel. The US was already sending $3.1 billion in military aid to Israel for 2014, and President Obama requested another $96 million for anti-missile systems. Congress took that number and tripled it. Buried in the National Defense Authorization Act for 2014, Congress pledged another $284 million in funding for Israel. A separate bill is also pushing the administration for more “reviews” of whether or not they’re giving sufficient aid to Israel, seeking ...

Israel is poised to receive $173 million for its missile defense program from the United States, as lawmakers signed off on a new spending plan to help protect the nation from Hezbollah’s growing arsenal. The Jerusalem Post reported that Israeli intelligence believes the radical group with ties to Iran and based in Lebanon has about 5,000 long-range missiles at its disposal, and all are capable of reaching Tel Aviv. The missiles can carry between 1,300 pounds and one ton of explosive material, United Press International reported. Members of both the House and Senate Armed Services Committee unveiled spending plans earlier this week that included bolstered funding for missile defense ...

Washington — Bill Richardson, the former U.N. ambassador known for his efforts to release American captives overseas, called on President Obama to free Jonathan Pollard immediately. In a Dec. 10 letter to Obama, whom he endorsed after dropping out of the 2008 presidential race, Richardson noted that an increasing number of figures involved in government when Pollard was given a 1987 life sentence for spying for Israel now believe his sentence should be commuted. “In my view, there is no longer a need for a discussion today,” Richardson wrote. “Virtually everyone who was in a high position of government — and dealt with the ramifications of what Pollard did at the ...

Roger Waters was accused of hating Jews. So he decided to give an interview to a left-wing outlet that accused Jews of drinking blood to disprove these allegations… by claiming that the Jewish Lobby controls America and that Jews are the new Nazis. So for an artist to go and play in a country that occupies other people’s land and oppresses them the way Israel does, is plain wrong. They should say no. I would not have played for the Vichy government in occupied France in the Second World War, I would not have played in Berlin either during this time. Roger Waters will not play in WW2 Berlin or Israel. He will however play in the People’s Republic of China, Turkey and Russia. ...
