President Obama and his advisors are the “deniers” of incredible Israeli violence and horrific violations of international law against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.

Israel wants to attack Iran because it claims Iran wants to wipe Israel off the map. Exactly who is trying to wipe whom off the map? You decide.

The Palestinian prisoner's case is a microcosm of the unbearable cruelty of the prolonged Israeli occupation, says the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Palestinian human rights

For far too long now Israel has been headed by leaders who don't hesitate to take the country on yet another dangerous, purposeless adventure. We must tell them now, loudly: We are a-f-r-ai-d, says Israeli writer Gideon Levy.

Still suckered by Obama's claim to be different from other presidents? See his glorification of Israel -- the country guilty of violating more international laws than any other in the world.

Israel thinks it can kill who it wants, when it wants and wherever it wants, secure in the knowledge that there will be little or no condemnation amongst Western governments.

Israel claims to have "the most moral army in the world". There should be no problem then in naming the soldiers responsible for the Gaza massacre three years ago.

We will never forget the the criminal onslaught that we lived through three year ago, the blood of over 1400 murdered men, women and hundreds of children running through the streets of Gaza.

Pending getting verification from an authoritative source that Robert De Niro made the quote about Gaza in an interview with Fox News, Stop the War has removed this article from our website. It will be restored in the event that we receive a verifiable source for the quote.

Israel's occupation effectively steals $6.9bn a year from the West Bank and Gaza -- 85% of the Palestinian economy -- by suspending economic activity and preventing income from natural resources.

Palestinians base their claims on verifiable and internationally recognised facts, unlike Israel, supported by the United States, which bases its claims on what it has illegally seized by force.

Israel declares itself a "Jewish state" based on a genetic, not voluntary, definition of who is a Jew, and claims that this self-definition gives it the right to carry out all sorts of inhumane acts against Palestinians.

The United States is virtually alone in its backing for the State of Kosovo, while at the same time hypocritically blocking a State of Palestine.

So locked into Israel is US foreign policy, says Robert Fisk, that America will this week stand out as a selfish, frightened state forced to support an occupying power against the Palestinian people who only ask for statehood.

"No rowing back, reticence or hesitation in completing our mission for recognition of our independent Palestinian state on 1967 borders," say Palestinian leaders.

Israel is renowned for its "precision-guided missiles", fired remotely from pilotless drones with such accuracy they cause "minimal collateral damage". So the two Palestinian 2-year-olds killed within two days must have been "terrorists".
