Israel at Seventy: Symbol of War, Racism, Reaction
By , May 14, 2018
The settler state of Israel turns 70 on May 14. In imperialist capitals, especially Israel and the U.S., this state built on the bones of the Palestinian people will be praised and celebrated. The U.S. will open its embassy in Jerusalem the same day.

14 May 2018 marks the 70th anniversary of the Israeli Declaration of Independence by Zionist terrorist David Ben Gurion, the foundation of an invasion-, violence-, racism- , genocide- and theft-based Apartheid Israel, and commencement of the large-scale, Rohingya Genocide-scale ethnic cleansing of Indigenous Palestinians from Palestine.

The Secretary General of the UN meekly mentioned ‘violence’ and the need for an ‘investigation’ into the killings.

It is certainly not for lack of courage, steadfastness or resolve that Palestinians continue to have a boot over their necks almost 70 years after the Nakba.
Palestine: Apartheid, Stolen Lives and Land, History Erased, United Nations Deaf Mute
By , December 20, 2017
So much for the “rights” of the Palestinians. Between November 1947 and November 1948 five hundred and thirty one Palestinian towns and villages had been “ethnically cleansed.” (1) By 1952 it was six hundred and fifteen. (2)
This “Nakba” (“catastrophe”) seventy years after Israel’s final founding, is ongoing.
Balfour Declaration: Britain Broke Its Feeble Promise to the Palestinians
By , November 02, 2017
One can understand the reluctance of Israelis today to concede the pivotal role provided by Britain. The Balfour Declaration is an embarrassing reminder that a Jewish state was the fruit of a transparently colonial project.
