Only a George Orwell or a Franz Kafka could have done justice to the story of the Arab refugee problem.

The intent of this picture is, roughly, that in 1948 the Jewish people launched an… Continue reading

The statement was a response to President Barack Obama’s remarks in Indonesia when he was asked whether “Israel’s advanced planning for more than a thousand new homes in Jerusalem” undermines… Continue reading
In een lang afscheidsinterview met de Jerusalem Post laat Seaman, enigzins teleurgesteld, al zijn opgehoopte frustraties de loop over zijn werk en de verhoudingen tussen de Westerse media en Israël. Het is dus een openhartig interview geworden, maar het belangrijkste… Lees verder
In the early 1980s, there was a palpable concern among staffers at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) of the looming rise of an Arab-American lobby aimed at challenging the pro-Israel community.
