"ARAB REFUGEES ARE FIFTH COLUMNISTS"The Arab radio stations are broadcasting appeals to Arab refugees from Palestine to return to their homes. The Arab authorities are offering financial support to those who come back, while men of military age are promised exemption from duty.In Cairo, Azzam Pasha [secretary general of the Arab League - EoZ] has stated that the refugees constituted a fifth column in the Arab states, where they are spreading despondency and alarm.

Home is peace. Home is safety. Home is love.For many of us, it is the space we are most at ease, a space where memories are created and happiness forged. When our homes are secure we are free to live and thrive surrounded by community and those who love us. Our need for home connects us all.But for some of us, this precious space does not exist. Right now, Palestinians are instead experiencing forced evictions and demolitions that destroy their homes and strip them of their safety net. The Israeli authorities’ system of apartheid reaches into homes and rips families apart.Despite these injustices, Palestinians are resisting. One of the ways they are doing this is through food. Through cooking, they are preserving their histories and telling their stories. Through food, they are keeping the hope of home alive. #PalestineAtHome

The PLO and the Arab League have rejected in principle and actively discouraged in practice local integration or third-country resettlement of Palestinian refugees. Their view is that local integration or resettlement would negate the right to return of the resettled refugees. The Arab countries hosting large Palestinian refugee populations point to Israel's legal obligation to permit the refugees' return to justify their refusal to integrate the Palestinian refugees and afford them rights equal to their own citizens.Jordan and Syria have (with some exceptions) refused entry to Palestinians who attempt to flee Iraq, in violation of the international legal prohibition against refoulement. When these two countries made temporary exceptions to their policies of refusal, they conditioned admission of Palestinian refugees on their confinement to camps, for example al-Ruwaishid camp in Jordan in 2003, and al-Hol camp in Syria in 2006. Because of the widely observed policy against resettlement of Palestinian refugees, these camp residents have already waited longer than other refugees fleeing Iraq, such as the Iranian Kurds, for access to third-country resettlement.

“When we’re talking about this youth movement for Palestine, Harvard is a perfect example,” Mohamad Habehh, director of development at American Muslims for Palestine, said in a Sunday session. Later in his address, he called Zionism “a very stupid ideology” and pledged to “end U.S. support for Israel.” Habehh said that American Muslims for Palestine would be meeting this week with officials at the State Department to urge them to deny Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich a visa into the U.S. due to recent comments he made calling for Israel to “erase” a Palestinian village.... Speaking at the conference on a panel about Middle Eastern representation in the 2030 Census, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) urged students to fight back against what she called “the intimidation, the bullying, the targeting to silence you” from pro-Israel students. “Everybody wants to silence me. But I know, whoever comes after me, I’ve knocked at least a couple doors down,” Tlaib continued, so that another student “can come in, she can say ‘apartheid.’”

Shakir then transitioned into a discussion addressing the issue of the academic freedom and space to speak about Palestine on American campuses, with specific reference to Harvard Kennedy School’s fellowship offer, retraction and reoffer to leading human rights advocate Kenneth Roth.“What happened to Ken has been happening to academics who are critical of Israel and speak out for Palestinian rights, and young academics and Palestinians are facing the worst,” Shakir said. “Things are changing [and] the conversation is changing and the arc of history is bending, [but] this is happening at the very same time that the situation on the ground is getting worse and worse everyday, so we live in this dichotomy”
Join us for this coming year’s Arab Conference at Harvard, to be hosted between March 3-5, 2023 at Harvard University.Previously known as the Harvard Arab Weekend, the Arab Conference at Harvard (ACH) is the largest pan-Arab conference in North America, bringing together over 1300 students and professionals as well as a 20,000-strong livestream audience from across the U.S. and globally to learn from leaders in a diverse array of sectors.

Following (Kraidy, M. M., & Murphy, P. D. (2003). Media ethnography: Local, global, or translocal? In P. D. Murphy & M. M. Kraidy (Eds.), Global media studies: Ethnographic perspectives (pp. 299–307). Routledge; Kraidy, M. M., & Murphy, P. D. (2008). Shifting Geertz: Toward a theory of translocalism in global communication studies. Communication Theory, 18(3), 335–355. 10.1111/j.1468-2885.2008.00325.x) call to look at global communication through lenses of translocalism and hybridity, I find that global boycotts are hybridized sites that facilitate translocal recognition. Using Boycott Eurovision as a case study, two locales are investigated: petitions and Globalvision. By uncovering the translocal recognition in each locale, global boycotts become crucial avenues of inquiry to understand how global social movements grapple with globalization. The essay describes the importance of understanding the vulnerabilities of international boycotts’ hybridized status, calling forward analysis of structure, specific initiatives, and the enactments of hegemonic ideologies found in locales.
[T]he Israeli national identity replicates the historical whiteness and settler-colonialism crafted by early Zionists and the British empire. I define whiteness as a global system of domination that reflects the logics of colonialism, racism, anti-Blackness, patriarchy, classism, ableism, and heteronormativity to recenter the white subject as that which is normal and required to attain (see Al-Saif & Ghabra, 2016; Ahmed, 2009; Ghabra, 2020a; Nakayama, 2020). In the historical moves that Israel made to establish itself as a country, Israel crafted the Jewish national subject in relation to Europeanness, whiteness, and settler-colonialism through the juridical exclusion of the Palestinian and Arab Others (Erakat, 2015) and relying on the state to guide where whiteness presents itself within the Israeli national identity (Yadgar, 2011). By utilizing whiteness as a heuristic to obscure specific meanings of Jewish-ness and Israeli-ness, material spaces are necessary to participate in this work, such as a fun singing competition.
Why bother to mention that Israel has had Mizrahi, Arab and Black Ethiopian contestants for Eurovision? Facts get in the way of the all-important discourse. Dweik can simply define them all as "white" for her purposes, and the reviewers are none the wiser.
The participants were recruited between November and December 2020 from a pool of children who accessed a local center organizing psychosocial activities. Researchers targeted a purposive convenience sample of 22 participants across various settings (villages, cities, and refugee camps) in the West Bank....[B]oth caregivers and participants were carefully informed about the aim of the task, the purposive confidentiality procedures, and their right to refuse or discontinue their participation at any time. All participants and families provided informed consent.
Thus, the present study explored the diverse everyday experiences of structural colonial oppression in children living in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. Our research aimed to investigate the main antecedents and determinants of risk and violence exposure in a setting characterized by settler-colonial violence and military occupation.

Last week, the Thomas Reuters Foundation announced that award-winning Palestinian journalist Shatha Hammad would be the recipient of the prestigious Kurt Schork Local Reporter Award for 2022. Not 48 hours later, Zionist watchdog group Honest Reporting unleashed a vicious smear campaign against Hammad to pressure Reuters and the Kurt Schork Fund to revoke the award. The campaign succeeded.Hammad is just the latest Palestinian journalist to be targeted by such groups. Earlier this month, the New York Times fired Palestinian photojournalist Hosam Salem for expressing support for Palestinian resistance, after Honest Reporting dug through Salem’s facebook posts to “expose” him to the Times. Honest Reporting is one of many Zionist watchdog organizations whose mission is to rush to the defense of one of the last colonial regimes in the world, effectively functioning as an international arm of Israeli “Hasbara” and providing a smokescreen for the continuous colonization and ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine.As pointed out by a letter signed by hundreds of Palestinian and Arab journalists condemning these recent online attacks, these watchdog groups function similarly to Israeli intelligence agencies, digging “deep into journalists’ social media accounts, chasing after any expressions, statements, or even jokes said in childhood, taking them out of context and weaponizing them.”This is what Honest Reporting did to Hammad, distorting several of her old facebook posts from 2014 in an attempt to paint her as an antisemite and “Hitler fan.” Hammad emphatically denies these outrageous claims, and even contends that one of the alleged facebook posts was outright fabrication.The Kurt Schork Memorial Fund buckled under the pressure and promptly revoked Hammad’s award. This alone is concerning, as it shows a willingness to accept the accusations of a clearly partisan organization that uses questionable methods in producing “proof” of wrongdoing.
In 2011, Salem took to Facebook to praise the Jerusalem bus bombing in which British Christian evangelical student Mary Jane Gardner was murdered, and 67 others were injured. Members of the Hamas cell had reportedly planned an additional attack but were stopped by Israeli security forces.On November 18, 2014, Hosam Salem again used Facebook to express his joy over the massacre of four rabbis and an Israeli-Druze police officer in a synagogue in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Har Nof.Citing the Quran, he encouraged his followers to “smite the necks” of unbelievers, adding: “[This is the] summary of the Jerusalem operation [sic] today.”There’s more. In 2015, Salem applauded two acts of terror (see here and here); a shooting at the Gush Etzion Junction that killed an American teenager, an Israeli man, and a Palestinian bystander; and a Jerusalem stabbing that killed three.Some three years later, after being hired by The New York Times, Salem called for more violence following an attack that killed two IDF recruits in the West Bank. “Shoot, kill, withdraw: three quick operational steps…to bring peace to the hearts of sad people like us,” the inciting post read.Finally, he has repeatedly eulogized Mohammed Salem and Nabil Masoud. The two were responsible for a 2004 suicide bombing that killed ten workers at the Ashdod port, Israel’s second-busiest harbor.
What about Shatha Hammad?
The posts that HonestReporting uncovered included dozens of violent and antisemitic clarion calls, such as one in which she eulogized the “martyrs” who killed five “settlers” during the 2014 Jerusalem synagogue massacre where two Palestinian terrorists attacked worshipers with axes, knives and a gun.
In several posts in 2014, Hammad, who currently works for Middle East Eye and Al Jazeera, signed off her comments using the nickname “Hitler” and joked that she was “in agreement” with the Nazi leader who oversaw the mass extermination of six million Jews during the Holocaust.
In another post — originally written in Arabic but translated into English by HonestReporting — she described herself as “friends” and “one” with Hitler, adding they have the “same mentality, like, for example, the extermination of the Jews” alongside a smiley face emoji.
Honest Reporting has screenshots, so Hammad's claim of "fabrication" is ridiculous.
Mondoweiss wants its readers to be angry - but it sure doesn't want them to know the posts it is defending as mere "criticism of Israel." The article is filled with hyperlinks - but not one to Honest Reporting's articles that show the screenshots of these journalists promoting the murders of Jews.
In fact, they are so upset at these revelations that they say, with a straight face, that "Zionist watchdogs are a danger to journalism." Not journalists who support murdering Jews - but the people who expose them.
Mondoweiss is afraid of the truth. It tries to hide the truth. Which proves that the truth is not on their side.

- "pro-Palestinian", 1922, 1948, British Mandate, England, history, Tomer Ilan, UK, White Paper
By Tomer Ilan
Recently, there’s a
wave of demands from Palestinian Arabs to the United Kingdom to apologize for
alleged abuses during the British Mandate period.
Munib al-Masri, a rich
Palestinian businessman submitted a dossier of evidence alleging abuses by the British between 1917 and 1948. Masri is
planning to present the file to the UK government later this year and is
reportedly demanding a formal acknowledgement and apology.
Separately, a Palestinian Arab is seeking
an apology from the Royal Ulster
Rifles for a 1938 incident in
Mandatory Palestine in which he alleged the British troops forced civilians to
drive over a landmine after a roadside bomb placed by Arabs killed two British
troops.
The Jews have a right
to demand an apology from Britain as well.
The Jews deserve an
apology from the British for systematically discriminating against the Jews, in
terms of official policy against Jewish immigration and Jewish land purchase
and settlement in contradiction to international law, namely the Mandate of
Palestine. The British government was also deeply involved in the illegal Arab
invasion of Israel in the 1948 war.
The first major
anti-Jewish move by the British government came in 1922, when The League of
Nations, at Britain’s request, modified the mandate by withdrawing Transjordan from the area intended to provide a national
home for the Jews. With a stroke of a pen, the Jews lost 78% of the national
home promised to them by Britain and the League of Nations.
Then, as a response to
Arab violence, including the 1920 Nebi Musa riots and the 1921 Jaffa riots,
Britain published a series of White Papers with new anti-Jewish policies that
contradicted the legally-binding League of Nations Mandate for Palestine that
Britain was supposed to follow.
The Mandate resolution (Article 6) requires Britain to “facilitate
Jewish immigration under suitable conditions and encourage, in co-operation
with the Jewish agency referred to in Article 4, close settlement by Jews on
the land, including State lands and waste lands not required for public
purposes”. The Mandate states that this shall be done “while ensuring
that the rights and position of other sections of the population are not prejudiced”.
However, in a series
of White Papers published between 1922 and 1939, the British Administration restricted
Jewish immigration and settlement rather than “facilitate” and “encourage” it
as required in the Mandate resolution.
Initially, the 1922
White Paper vaguely stated that Britain would limit future immigration to
"the economic capacity of the country". The 1930 White Paper called
for stricter controls to be placed on Jewish immigration and land purchase.
The worst White Paper
was published in 1939, on the eve of World War 2, with millions of Jews trying
to escape from the Nazi threat in Europe, the paper severely limited
Jewish immigration to just 15,000 a year for 5 years and made subsequent
immigration to require Arab
approval. Jewish purchase of land from Arabs was forbidden in 95% of
Palestine.
In effect, the White
Paper prevented the escape of millions of Jews from Europe before and during
WW2. Six million of those Jews were murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. If
the British had not imposed the 1939 White Paper immigration restrictions, many
of those Jews could have been saved.
The McDonald White Paper of 1939 was explicitly racist and openly discriminated
against Jews. Jewish immigration was severely restricted, while Arab
immigration was not. Jewish land purchase was forbidden in 95% of the land,
while Arab land purchase was allowed in 100% of it. The language of the White
Paper was explicit and racist: “Transfer of land save to a Palestinian Arab
prohibited” (see map).
In today’s terms, it
would be called an “apartheid” White Paper. Anti-Jewish apartheid.
British Land transfer Regulations
of 1940 based on the
White Paper of 1939
Starting from 1939,
the British Authorities also restricted Jewish settlement on Jewish-owned land
in direct contradiction to the Mandate resolution requiring them to “encourage
close settlement by Jews on the land”. The Jews, however, found a way to
establish new settlements anyway, the famous “Tower and Stockade”
method.
In the 1948 War of
Independence, Britain was deeply involved in favor of the Arab side. The Arab
Army of Transjordan, more commonly known as the Arab Legion, was financed by
Britain and commanded by British officers. The Legion was armed, trained and
commanded by British officers and was considered the most effective Arab force
in the 1948 war.
The British-backed
Arab Legion illegally invaded Palestine in 1948 and helped Jordan illegally
occupy eastern Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria between 1948 and 1967.
In 1948, Britain had
dominant influence over Egypt, Iraq, Syria and Lebanon as well. Those countries
would not invade Palestine to fight the Jews, without British involvement.
This is confirmed by Dr. Ezra Nishry’s research. His 2016 doctoral thesis (English Abstract – p. 510) based mainly on the documents of the British National Archives (as well as Israeli and American documents and previous research literature) confirms that the British organized, armed and pushed the Arab countries to invade Israel in the War of Independence.
Nishry shows that the
British government used covert action and pushed for the Arab invasion that was
actually carried out on May 15, 1948. According to British sources quoted in
the research, the senior British leadership in London determined the end date
for the evacuation of the British forces from Palestine, brought it forward,
and returned to the original date according to the changing needs of the
invasion plans which changed according to the circumstances on the ground. There
was a direct connection between planning the timing of the Arab invasion and
planning the timing of the British evacuation.
His findings were published in a book “The British Trojan horse in the Israeli War of liberation : 1947-1948”.
In many cases during
the 1948 war, the British troops themselves helped the Arabs.
One of the worst
incidents was at Radar Hill (near Jerusalem) on 23 April 1948. A Jewish force
who tried to evacuate wounded Jewish troops in the Many Jewish fighters were
killed and wounded in the Nebi Samuel battle, encountered British fire from
Radar Hill which killed and wounded a number of Jews. The wounded Jews were
collected by the British and handed over to the Arabs who murdered them.
A sign at Radar Hill mentions the battle on 23 April 1948 in which British troops handed wounded Jewish troops to the Arabs who murdered them.
Another example of British involvement against the Jews was in the Etzion Bloc. On 4 May 1948, the Arab Legion aided by the British and by a large number of local Arabs launched a major attack on the Etzion Bloc in which 12 Jewish defenders were killed. A few days later, the Kfar Etzion Massacre was committed and the Bloc was ethnically cleansed from Jews until it was resettled in 1967.
Great Britain should
apologize to the Jews for:
- · Giving 78% of the Jewish National Home to the Arabs in 1922
- · Restricting Jewish immigration just before WW2, preventing the escape of millions of Jews from the Holocaust
- · Imposing anti-Jewish “apartheid” laws restricting land purchase by Jews in most of Palestine
- · Opposing the establishment of new Jewish settlements on Jewish-owned land.
- · Britain backing the Arab Legion in 1948 leading to the illegal Jordanian occupation the Old City of Jerusalem and Judea & Samaria until 1967.
- · Britain pushing other Arab states to invade Israel an attempt to annihilate her in 1948.
- ·
British troops fighting against the Jews in the 1948 war.
These British policies and actions went against their commitment to the League of Nations and against the Mandate for Palestine, i.e. against international law.
The British have more
reasons to apologize to the Jews than they do to the Arabs.
