The UN General assembly voted 29 November 1947 to recommend partition of Palestine to give the Zionist movement control over 55% of Palestine and leave the Palestinians with 45% of Palestine. The Palestinian natives were then more than 2/3rd of the population and owned 93% of the [...]

With the Palestinian authorities in Ramallah seeking recognition of a Palestinian state through the United Nations, it is important to consider what this means both to Palestinians and to the rest of the world.
States are the predominant actors in the international community. They are [...]

Israel will release 980 Palestinians in exchange for a soldier captured in 2006, its State Attorney’s Office said Sunday.
The office said Hamas will select 450 names and Israel will choose the rest.

Israeli settlers vowed on Sunday to defy a government crackdown on West Bank construction by laying cornerstones in communities across the territory.
The announcement came just hours after Defense Minister Ehud Barak ordered his ministry to urgently recruit and train construction supervisors to oversee the 10-month construction freeze [...]
Another shameful incident in Australia’s Parliament will take place this month. Soon we are to welcome Israel’s Silvan Shalom. A rather incongruous surname given it means Peace in Hebrew.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel was fully committed to renewing Middle East peace negotiations, but questioned whether the Palestinian Authority was prepared to enter the political process.

Can you please explain why the highest governmental minister of Australia secretly entertained a man who is awaiting trial in his homeland for corruption and has, furthermore, been accused of having been responsible for war crimes which were committed during the 2008/2009 Gaza War in which several hundreds of innocent Palestinian civilians were killed in [...]
Under the slogan, “Towards a Palestine free from settlements, the Wall, Apartheid roads, checkpoints and roadblocks, and for one united Palestine with no islands and cantons”, the residents of Bili’n gathered in a protest after the Friday prayer joined by international and Israeli activists. The protesters raised Palestinian flags and banners calling to hold on [...]
I have had my attention drawn to an event which has appeared to have slipped beneath the radar in terms of information to the Australian public, both in terms of Government announcements and media comment.
Ehud Olmert visited Parliament House and was accorded a welcoming “Hear!Hear!”
I am no longer surprised that my government offers a welcome [...]
The Age: “Cowardly bias blights attitudes on Israel” by Isi Leibler, 28 November 2009
What a sad, but not totally unexpected diatribe from Isi. Having retired from his hate-mongering in Melbourne, Isi now spew’s his hate from the home of a dispossessed Palestinian in occupied Jerusalem.
Israel so desperately craves the world’s legitimacy; it will evoke any [...]
