In search of an Israeli left

By Syndicated News | Published: August 24, 2010

Zochrot is an Israeli organization that attempts to change Israeli culture by asserting that before Israel was a Hebraized nation of mostly Jews, it was mostly a nation of farming Palestinians. It makes this assertion by raising consciousness both of what Israel was before it was Israel, and what had to happen to make Israel be [...] Related posts:

Midnight on the Mavi Marmara: The People’s Record

By newsreader89 | Published: August 20, 2010
Less than four months ago, Israeli commandoes boarded the boats in the Freedom Flotilla headed for Gaza and killed nine peace activists. Investigations are underway into just what happened the night of May 31st, but just a few months after the attacks, a new anthology collects eyewitness testimony, analyses and thought pieces, and responses from artists and poets into a "people's record" of what happened that night--and how it just might be a turning point for the conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Marleine Bastien, Midnight on the Mavi Marmara, and Green for Buffalo

By newsreader89 | Published: August 19, 2010
"Community organizer" was Sarah Palin's favorite slur on the campaign trail, but grassroots organizers have been fighting for the rights of marginalized people, often without recognition, for longer than Palin has been around. Marleine Bastien has been an organizer in the Haitian-American community in Miami for 30 years, and is now running for Congress.

what does the Lobby do when it Lobbies?

By Syndicated News | Published: August 19, 2010

Depth regimes in the Middle East are characterized by a cyclical build-up of weapons in both Israel and the Arab states, alongside elevated oil prices, as core petroleum and armament companies, fueled by and fueling regional instability, exploit that instability to expand their differential profitability. How much of this is visible in something relatively small and [...] Related posts:

Fida Qishta’s film of Mona Samouni

By Syndicated News | Published: August 8, 2010

I met Mona Samouni twice, and talked to her over the phone a few other times. The first time I was at her house in Zeitoun, there were hardly any adults around, just her older brother. She is now 11, or 12—I forget—and immediately went into the kitchen to prepare tea for us.

The Banality of Anti-Israel Lobby Doctrine

By Syndicated News | Published: August 2, 2010

This is a guest post from David Green. My own take generally aligns with Green's. Since 1967, Israel has constructed itself as an imperial asset in the Middle East. I don't think we have a satisfactory synthesis explaining the Israel Lobby's role in shaping American foreign policy. I don't think the Walt-Mearsheimer argument is very [...] Related posts:

bombs rock Gaza

By Syndicated News | Published: July 31, 2010
Yesterday evening, an attack rocked Gaza City, in "reprisal" for a tin-foil Kassam that landed in Ashkelon, causing no injuries. The New York Times hasn't reported this attack--or rather, the New York Times is refusing to report this attack, since they were sent a press release about it, in line with well-documented racist double standards.

why bring up Zionism? Warschawski answers

By Syndicated News | Published: July 29, 2010

So why bring up Zionism, Finkelstein asks, the "epithet du jour," as he dismisses it with what he thinks is withering contempt? Why organize for that Utopian one/no-state solution when we have a "consensus" on a two-state settlement, by everyone except for those with power? Read below and see why. It can be difficult to [...] Related posts:
