A German MP makes the absurd claim that Jews today bear responsibility for the war excesses of Jewish Bolsheviks almost a hundred years ago, and the commander of German Special Forces publicly agrees. An opinion poll suggests that 60% of Europeans think Israel is a threat to world peace. But whilst there is little doubt that some parts of European societies are again seeing a rise in anti-Semitic activity, a more than cursory glance at the issue reveals that sentiment amongst the masses is of a totally different kind to that which preceded the Holocaust.

Right-wing Israeli lexicographers have been doing dome revisions lately to the words, ‘Semite’ and ‘anti-Semitic’. Apparently a crack is created in the definition of anti-Semitism large enough to conveniently include two more groups of people: the first any Palestinians who oppose the illegal occupation of their land; the sencond group are those who have the moral courage to point out the atrocities committed by the Israeli Government in carrying out the occupation.
Jews Against Zionism
Following the bombing last week of the synagogues in Istanbul, the leaders of the Zionist state arrogantly proclaim that such events make it necessary for Jews to leave their native countries and move to the most dangerous place on Earth for the Jewish People ? the State of Israel.

As part of the international activities that would be held to celebrate the 13th anniversary for the tearing down of Berlin Wall, which has separated Eastern Berlin from Western Berlin for decades, millions of participants will participate in demonstrations and activities dedicated against the Israeli construction of its Apartheid Wall cutting off the Palestinian territories.

Downplaying the views of the people he represents, EU spokesman Gerassimos Thomas said that European governments would ignore the recent poll showing that 59 per cent of Europeans see Israel as more of a threat to peace than ‘rogue nations’, Iran or North Korea. “A poll is a poll, and policy is policy,” he promised Israeli media. However, the poll results will give oppressed Palestinians some comfort in their struggle for self-determination.

On November 9, 1989 the Berlin Wall - which truly epitomized the Cold War in Europe and, therefore, became the symbol of shame of the politics of division of the 20th century - was torn down. Now, a new wall must fall!

Just as the world learned about the secret Geneva Accord, supposedly a groundbreaking blueprint for a comprehensive peace between Israel and a future Palestinian state, the parents of two Palestinian children in Rafah learned of their children’s death at the hands of brave Israeli pilots. Hence, the accord, even before anyone read it, had already helped the Israeli “peace camp” fulfil its traditional diplomatic role, deflecting international attention from the horrible things Israel does, to the pious chants that accompany expressions of Israeli hopes for peace.

For supporters of the cause, it was a sight for sore eyes. It might even strike pangs of guilt in cynical politicians who would sell whole populations for a piece of paper. A hundred survivors of the Catastrophe, from all parts of the world, converged on London to restate their inalienable rights, after decades of neglect by the world’s governments. What do they want? They want to go home.
