DON’T FLIRT WITH THE OCCUPATION

Hackney Palestine Solidarity members protest against Valentine’s Day flowers grown on illegal Israeli settlements on Palestinian land

On Saturday 10th February, Hackney PSC members joined a large group of protesters against Israeli agricultural export company Agrexco(UK) Ltd at their Hayes depot. Agrexco/Carmel are dealing with large amounts of Israeli flowers in the build up to Valentine's Day. Agrexco is Israel's largest exporter of agricultural produce into the European Union, and is 50% Israeli state owned. It imports produce from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which appropriate land and water resources by military force from Palestinian farmers in a deliberate policy of colonial settlement. As a result of the protest on Saturday 10th February, deliveries had to be rescheduled.

‘Quartet’ Corners PLO, Hamas into Critical Options

06-02-2007 11:27

By Nicola Nasser* -- In Washington on February 2, the Middle East Quartet of peace mediators promised the Palestinian people more of the same devastating status quo, perpetuating their 40-year old Israeli occupation, prolonging the international siege imposed on them, exacerbating their internal divide, and thus cornering them into a situation that they can only shake off either through civil war or unconditional surrender to the U.S.-backed Israeli-dictated fait accompli.

The “War against Terror” is a War against the People

06-02-2007 00:12

In this interview recorded by Swiss journalist Silvia Cattori in November 2005 - more than six months before the war launched against Lebanon by Israeli army in summer 2006 – Youssef Aschkar was warning that the destabilization of Lebanon, Syria and Iran was under way, and that Lebanon was the country most threatened and most vulnerable to the Israeli menace.

FLASHBACK: A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties

05-02-2007 00:52

The following essay represents, in my opinion, the accurate and detailed plan of the present Zionist regime (of Sharon and Eitan) for the Middle East which is based on the division of the whole area into small states, and the dissolution of all the existing Arab states. I will comment on the military aspect of this plan in a concluding note.
