Then let all the trees of the forest rejoice before no Lord who comes,
for workers to govern and protect the earth

Supporters of Israel’s Occupation and Genocides Must Not Get Our Votes!
Elections are imminent. Please send me your thoughts and suggestions if you believe we can extend the BDS to the political arena and do something to:
* apply pressure on all political parties this federal election to reconsider their support to Israel’s occupation, expansionism and crimes against humanity
* send political parties and politicians a message that their support to Israel/half-hearted support to Palestine will cost them votes
* link up with similar pressure groups across Australia As all of us know, there are currently no spokespersons in Parliament for the Palestinians barring Julia Irwin who, in frustration with Labor policies, has announced her retirement from politics.… Go to Article

In Israel too, life is different since the war – but for the better.
Israelis say the war was justified because it has reduced the constant threat of rocket fire on their border towns, and some Israelis even believe there may be cause for another war.
Israel stole land, life, identity…
How humane and civilized!
Stole my land
Burned my trees
Jailed my sun
Killed my children
Drank their blood
Then ground their bones at McDonnell-Douglas
And offered them back to me
As a present
In a flour-sack
To torture me all my life
This is America
—Nasri Hajjaj
Curious that not a single US passport was used in the identity theft.… Go to Article
