How Israel lost the War of Words over its Apartheid

How Israel lost the War of Words over its Apartheid

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor ) – Who wrote the following quote? “Whereas the Afrikaner apostles of apartheid in South Africa, for example, brazenly proclaimed their sin, the [Israeli] practitioners of apartheid in Palestine beguilingly protest their innocence.” Amnesty International? Human Rights Watch (HRW)? Perhaps even the Israeli human rights group, B’Tselem? Since January of last […]

When Israel Kills an American, Washington calls for “Investigation;” Hundreds of Palestinians? Not so Much

When Israel Kills an American, Washington calls for “Investigation;” Hundreds of Palestinians? Not so Much

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor ) – Last week, 80-year-old Palestinian-American Omar Asad was kidnapped, tied up, and apparently tortured by Israeli army thugs in the West Bank. He was found dead soon after. It’s the kind of brutality habitually imposed upon Palestinians by the illegitimate Zionist regime to maintain a “pure” Jewish state in historical […]

For the First time, Israeli Apartheid was Broached in Congress by Rashida Tlaib – and then the Racist Epithets rained Down

For the First time, Israeli Apartheid was Broached in Congress by Rashida Tlaib – and then the Racist Epithets rained Down

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor) – [It is rare] for Israeli apartheid to be raised as a topic of discussion in the US Congress. In fact, I can’t recall that it has ever happened before, until last week. And the response in the US was even more ferocious, and particularly vindictive. It was also openly racist. […]

Israeli Soldiers have Killed 73 Palestinian Children this Year: When will the Siege of Civilians in Gaza End?

Israeli Soldiers have Killed 73 Palestinian Children this Year: When will the Siege of Civilians in Gaza End?

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor) – So much for the Israeli army supposedly wanting to “reduce” the number of Palestinians it shoots. An Israeli soldier shot and killed another Palestinian child in the besieged Gaza Strip on 21 August. Omar Hasan Abu Al-Nil was just 13. The boy succumbed to his wounds last Saturday. According to […]

Naftali Bennett once led Effort to insert Israeli Propaganda into Wikipedia, now He’s Trying to Influence US Foreign Policy

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor) – Online Palestinian outlet Quds News Network resurfaced a video clip this week from over a decade ago featuring current Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The video shows Bennett helping to lead a training session teaching Israelis how to insert themselves into Wikipedia (the free online encyclopaedia that unknown persons can […]

Palestinian Activist: The Problem is not Ignorance of Israeli Occupation’s Brutality, it is Inaction

Palestinian Activist: The Problem is not Ignorance of Israeli Occupation’s Brutality, it is Inaction

Asa Winstanley

“I am tired of reporting the same brutality every day, of thinking of new ways to describe the obvious.” Those are the words of Mohammed El-Kurd, the renowned Palestinian activist from East Jerusalem. He and his family are threatened with expulsion from their homes. They have committed no crime, but are being kicked out solely […]

Israeli Meltdown as Tel Aviv accuses Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream of “Terrorism” for Boycotting illegal Israeli Squatter-Settlements in Palestine

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor) – A landmark victory in the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement’s (BDS) campaign against Israel came on Monday, with an announcement from Ben and Jerry’s. After years of BDS campaign appeals to them, the US ice cream maker declared that it would no longer be selling its products in Israeli settlements […]

In Disappointment, even the Israeli Left voted for Racist Palestinian Family Separation Law

In Disappointment, even the Israeli Left voted for Racist Palestinian Family Separation Law

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor ) – This week, Israel’s Parliament the Knesset failed to pass an extension to Israel’s racist marriage law. The law bars the spouses of Palestinian citizens of Israel from receiving citizenship. This means that Palestinians from Haifa, Acre or Jaffa are effectively banned from marrying Palestinians from the West Bank and […]

The World’s Gaze is turning away from the Palestinians, but their Oppression hasn’t Changed

The World’s Gaze is turning away from the Palestinians, but their Oppression hasn’t Changed

Asa Winstanley

( Middle East Monitor ) – If there was only one tiny sliver of hope that emerged after the horrors that Israel inflicted on the Palestinians last month, it was a new sense of unity among the people of Palestine themselves. And the global solidarity movement for Palestinian rights received a major boost too. On […]
