The Palestinian Authority Endorses the Blocking of Palestinian Rights
Ramona Wadi | mintpressnews.com | 2018-09-25
As the UN General Assembly meeting approaches, the entire international community is engaged in a collective spectacle discussing the obsolete two-state compromise as the only way forward for Palestinians. There is no debate about how the facts on the ground contradict the diplomatic hyperbole. | Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas is reportedly holding a side meeting with officials, excluding the US and Israel, to seek ways in which negotiations about the two-state paradigm can be restarted; Israel's illegal settlement expansion can be countered; and UN agencies that protect the rights of Palestinian refugees can be safeguarded. | The illusion of two camps — Israel and the US purportedly opposing the Palestinian Authority and the international community — is being promoted by Abbas, and none of the political actors are averse to the gimmick. As US President Donald Trump surpasses the pro-Israel approach of…

Fact-Finding Labour's "Anti-Semitism" Crisis
Kenneth Surin | counterpunch.org | 2018-09-25
Several CounterPunchers, I included, have posted on the "antisemitism" campaign directed at the Labour party and its leader Jeremy Corbyn. Corbyn's most virulent accusers have been from his own party, abetted by the tabloid media, and the supposedly liberal Guardian (though it has long been a Blairite holdout, and its chief op-ed writer on Israel is the ardent Zionist Jonathan Freedland).

Israel's Anti-Semitism Smear Campaign
Andrew Levine | counterpunch.org | 2018-09-21
Trump put his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a not-too-bright graduate of a Zionist day school and the gzillionaire son of a felonious Trump-like New Jersey real estate mogul, in charge of Middle East diplomacy. He made a Trump Organization lawyer, Jason Greenblatt, an "Assistant to the President and Special Representative for International Negotiations." His bankruptcy lawyer, David Friedman, is his Ambassador to Israel. All three are in way over their heads; and all three are zealous ethnocrats.
