So what has the attack on Gaza got to do with three dead settlers near Hebron?

This is a legitimate question to ask. The current crisis began with the abduction and then killing of three settlers who were taken in the West Bank. So why are over 400 people (and rising) dead in Gaza? The answer is there is absolutely no connection. This makes Israel's attack on Gaza a war of …

If only the rockets would stop, there would be peace, claim Zionists

'It's the rockets', if Hamas stops firing rockets there will be calm, Zionists claim. Wrong, it is the occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people, the denial of their rights, the siege on Gaza,the settlements and the lack of the implementation of the right of return for Palestinian refugees. Listening to the Israeli and pro …

I wish British Prime Minister, David Cameron had joined the demonstrations in London or Birmingham on 11/7/2024.

British media coverage of attack on Gaza biased and a disservice to the British public

Alkaware family mourn victims of Israeli terror via @alrayps The coverage by the British media of the current situation in Palestine / Israel has been extremely biased.

My statement on discovery of bodies of Israelis near Hebron

Saddened to hear of the death of the three missing #Israelis whose bodies were found near Hebron. It is time violence ended and a genuine drive for a just peace started.

The Palestinian issue is still the key to peace in the Middle East

Image from the Daily Telegraph Israeli leaders would like us all to think that resolving the Palestinian injustice is now an issue that is past its sell by date.

Is Israel’s reliance on unconditional backing coming to an end?

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu Image from the Telegraph I am not jumping to conclusions and assuming the US, or the EU for that matter, is making a radical change in policy towards Israel. Should a veto be required in the UN Security Council, the US Index finger will rise without hesitation. But for the …
