Purdue University professor Bill Mullen traveled to Palestine with a delegation of academics to find out about the obstacles facing Palestinian students and educators.

ISRAEL'S COLONIZATION of Palestine is a de facto totalitarianism meant to strangle decades of resistance by an entire people. But it has not succeeded.
Uri Avnery warns that fascism will overwhelm Israel unless progressive forces “awake from the coma, understand what is happening and where it is leading to, protest and struggle by all available means … in order to arrest the fascist wave that is threatening to engulf us”

This week, a new bill was tabled. It would prohibit non-citizens from acting as tourist guides in East Jerusalem… The bill is intended to deprive Arab Jerusalemites of the right to serve as tourist guides at their holy places in their city, since they are apt to deviate from the official propaganda line.

The Knesset members act like sharks in a feeding frenzy. There is a wild competition between them to see who can devise the most racist bill.

The idea of the kibbutzim was beguiling to many socialist Jews looking at different ways of living in the world: agricultural communes, the seeds of the new society germinating in the interstices of the old, and all that saccharine stuff. The anarchist publisher AK Press recently put out a book by James Horrox entitled, A Living Revolution: Anarchism in the Kibbutz Movement.
-
For a book focusing on anarchism in the kibbutz movement, it's important to keep in mind that anarchism is above all "an ethical discourse about revolutionary practice," as David Graeber puts it. Anarchist institution-building tied to racist land-grabbing cannot be anarchist or socialist.

The book is a strange attempt to blend Zionist mythology with anarchism. In the forward, Israeli anarchist Uri Gordon questions "the validity of applying anti-colonial hindsight to people that any progressive would otherwise consider economic migrants or refugees"
"There is a general perception that the reason the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has continued for so long is because it is extremely complex."

“Jewish villages were built in the place of Arab villages. You do not even know the names of these Arab villages, and I do not blame you because Geography books no longer exist, not only do the books not exist, the Arab villages are not there either … There is not one single place built in this country that did not have a former Arab population.” (Moshe Dayan, Address to the Technion, Haifa, as quoted in Haaretz, 4-4-1969)
A new military order will take effect this week, enabling the army to deport tens of thousands of Palestinians from the West Bank and prosecute them on infiltration charges,
Khirbet Khizeh, a 1949 novella of a Jewish soldier describing the day in 1948 in which his military unit attacks a Palestinian village and deports its inhabitants.

Haganah Plan D, written war plans in the Israeli Defense Force archives calling for destruction of Palestinian villages (setting fire to, blowing up, and planting mines in the debris) and the expulsion of their population. Israeli historian Benny Morris described massacres, rapes and expulsions perpetrated against Palestinian.
-
The book begins by dispelling any notion that the expulsions were by rogue Haganah elements. The soldiers were given "operational orders" which explicitly stated to "assemble the inhabitants of the area extending from point X to point Y-load them onto transports, and convey them across our lines; blow up the stone houses, and burn the huts; detain the youths and the suspects, and clear the area of 'hostile forces.'" The author notes the irony that those who would "burn blow up imprison load and convey" would do so with "such courtesy and with a restraint born of true culture... of decent upbringing, and perhaps, even of the Jewish soul."

"About eight of the 40 families from Dhaher al-Maleh have left their tiny village and have gone to live on the eastern side of the separation fence. They could no longer bear the Israeli ban on building houses.

About eight of the 40 families from Dhaher al-Maleh have left their tiny village and have gone to live on the eastern side of the separation fence. They could no longer bear the Israeli ban on building houses.
-
Neither could they bear the other restrictions and prohibitions that the fence and its planners have imposed on them: They were forbidden to have relatives and friends visit; forbidden to get ill or have babies at night, when the gate is closed; forbidden to bring large quantities of food home, as big families require; forbidden to link their homes up with the electricity grid; and they were forbidden to build a clinic - restrictions and prohibitions to the point of suffocation.

"In the richest of the Occupied lands, Israeli bureaucracy is driving Palestinians out of their homes. Robert Fisk reports from Jiftlik"
Mike Huckabee just told CBN: "One of the things I find most interesting is that generally Evangelicals are so much more supportive of Israel than the American Jewish community."
