Hollywood Stars Shun Pro-Israeli Diamond Store
Al-Arabiya reported on the growing movement to boycott pro-Israeli billionaire Lev Leviev’s diamond business. He is linked to settlement expansion in the West Bank and right-wing Zionist causes. The campaign has had several victories recently and convinced high-profile Hollywood stars to disassociate themselves from Leviev. Hollywood stars have called for their pictures to be removed [...]
Smoke ‘em out…
A few weeks ago, the Israeli government decided to ‘cut off’ funding for illegal outposts in the West Bank. It seemed like relatively good news and I even considered posting about it at the risk of giving the Zionist regime undue credit.

Midhat Abu Karsh, a teacher from the Hebron area, was out with [...]

CNN.com recently carried this report about the infamous video of Israeli settlers sadistically beating an elderly Palestinian woman, her husband and another relative.
