Torah Jews meet President Ahmadinejad in NYC
The Torah Jews are the only anti Zionist Jewish collective. They are just very few but their message is clear, coherent and consistent.

Red Line To Israel and Jewish Power Now!
[image error]
Once again, the democratically elected leader of the institutionally genocidal Israel is trying to push us all into a world war.
Time is ripe to draw a red line to the Jewish State and its powerful lobby.
It is time to dismantle the Jewish State by means of total isolation before it turns our planet into dust.

Paul Larudee: has Palestine been Abandonned By Its Own Leadership?
Introduction by Gabi Weber
Paul Larudee, the co-founder of the Free Palestine Movement and one of the leading Pro-Palestinian activists in America, posted the following text on the Al Awda list. It seems as if BDS has given up on the most essential and crucial Palestinian principles.
While BDS was initially committed to the opposition of colonisation of all Arab lands, the current BDS' goal statement merely opposes only the colonisation of Arab lands occupied in 1967.
The BDS clearly changed its goal statement.
The following text raises serious questions. Perhaps one of our readers can provide the answers.
[image error]"Dear friends,
It is with great sadness that I must propose withdrawal of al-Awda endorsement from the BDS Campaign led by the BNC until the change in its mission statement has been corrected and until a public explanation is provided for the reasons for the change as well as the procedure by which the change was implemented. A more transparent public explanation of BNC finances is also recommended.
Obviously, this is not a proposal to stop boycott, divestment and sanctions. However, BDS actions and practices do not require endorsement of a particular movement. Everything that undermines the racist Zionist state deserves our support. Nevertheless, under no circumstances can we support any statement or action that legitimates such a state, which is the problem with the BNC-led BDS Campaign.
As I reported on July 10, the original BDS mission statement reads:
"1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands and dismantling the Wall"
In fact, it still reads that way on one part of the website: http://www.bdsmovement.net/call. Unfortunately, that part of the website is historical, and reports what the original mission statement was when it was issued in 2005 (when al-Awda endorsed it), and not what it is today, which is found at http://www.bdsmovement.net/bdsintro, which reads:
"1. Ending its occupation and colonization of all Arab lands occupied in June 1967 and dismantling the Wall" (emphasis added)
When did this wording change? By what procedure was it amended? Were endorsers like al-Awda consulted or even notified about the change? What was the reason for the change?
1. When did the wording change?
Sorry, but I have no idea about this, and I doubt that anyone else on this list does, either. This is problematic. How can a change of this magnitude be made without the permission of its endorsers? How can endorsers be made to say something that they never endorsed? This is deception at its worst.
2. By what procedure was the statement amended?
One would think that such a change would require a proposal to and ratification by the governing committee of the BNC. However, there is no evidence that such a procedure was observed. Lacking evidence to the contrary, we must conclude that it was amended unilaterally by someone with control over the website.

Stuart Littlewood: Has Israel groveller David Miliband changed his spots?
Introduction by GA: David Miliband, a listed as well as the British Foreign Secretary who gave the Israelis a green light to operation Cast Lead, suggesting that “Israel should, above all, seek to protect its own citizens,” is now invited to speak at a Medical Aid for Palestine’s (MAP) Annual Gala Fundraising Dinner. Stuart Littlewood exposes it all.

Medical Aid for Palestinians (MAP) has been providing vital help to vulnerable Palestinian communities ever since the Sabra and Shatila massacre 30 years ago.
Eyebrows therefore shot up when MAP announced that former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband will be speaking at its Annual Gala Fundraising Dinner on Thursday 20 September held in the posh Sheraton Park Lane Hotel.
It seems he’ll be talking about his visit to the West Bank and Gaza.
Grovelling to Israel
Miliband will be forever remembered as the British foreign secretary who shamelessly grovelled to Israel’s gangsters for forgiveness for their running the risk of arrest if they set foot in London.
And he’ll be remembered for not having the guts to go visit Gaza, or even Iran, while in office.
Back in 2009 Ehud Barak, Tzipi Livni and retired General Doron Almog, cancelled engagements in London for fear of being arrested. Israel complained bitterly
Miliband actually apologised to Livni and Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman for the arrest warrant issued against Livni. He promised Lieberman to begin working immediately to change the UK laws relating to “universal jurisdiction”. He asked Prime Minister Gordon Brown and Justice Minister Jack Straw to find an urgent solution.
