A Glimmer of Hope in Bleak Palestine
Sheldon Richman | counterpunch.org | 2018-08-06
Some of us have longed for the emergence of a charismatic Palestinian figure who, while opposing Israeli oppression and settler-colonialism in all its forms, would also defend individual property rights and free enterprise while condemning both outside donor aid as dependence-inducing and the corrupt, authoritarian, and unrepresentative Palestinian Authority (PA). Such a person has indeed emerged: Khaled Al Sabawi.

The US as the Nation State of the Protestant Christian People
Ian Berman | mintpressnews.com | 2018-08-06
WASHINGTON — In honor of the shared values between the State of Israel and the United States of America, and the recently passed " Israel as the Nation State of the Jewish People" Basic Law, the following bill has been proposed to the U.S. House of Representatives (with an identical bill proposed in the U.S. Senate). Since an overwhelming number of Senators and Representatives, and the White House, strongly support Israel and have not objected to its new Nation State Law, we expect overwhelming support for this proposed bill as it is applied to the United States of America. In addition, we expect no objections from American supporters of Israel who have also been silent about Israel's Nation State Law. | Bill: The U.S. as the Nation-State of the Protestant Christian People | Whereas the United States of America was founded as…

The Unjust Prosecution of the Holy Land Foundation Five
Charles Glass | theintercept.com | 2018-08-05
"For the law holds, that it is better that ten guilty persons escape, than that one innocent suffer," wrote Sir William Blackstone in 1765, expressing a fundamental principle of Anglo-Saxon justice. Miko Peled, in " Injustice: The Story of the Holy Land Foundation Five," his exhaustive study of the U.S. government's case against five defendants from a friendless minority, demonstrates how American justice has deviated so far from Blackstone that the courts can convict a hundred innocents for one who is guilty. "Injustice" portrays a modern version of Franz Kafka's "Trial" in which five Palestinian-Americans confront the character Joseph K.'s dilemma: "K. was living in a free country, after all, everywhere was at peace, all laws were decent and were upheld, who was it who dared accost him in his own home?" | The FBI, the Treasury Department, and other assorted…

Noam Chomsky Condemns Israel's Shift to Far Right & New "Jewish Nation-State" Law
