Proudly Singing Fidai And Waving PLO Flag On Tel Aviv Campus
Where is our self-respect? A Druze student stands up for Israel at Tel Aviv University. Here is what he writes to “The Shadow” on Facebook: and in English this is: Hello Shadow, I am a Druze student at Tel Aviv University and I am sick of the contempt that goes on there . . . […]
Why Israel Needs The Palestinian Arabs
Without them, our whole “settler-colonial” society would collapse from within, according to a world renowned scholar. Patrick Wolfe (1949-2016) was an Australian anthropologist; he seems to be one of the founders of colonialism studies. It is him we have to thank for having popularized the preposterous idea that Israel is a European settler-colonial project, one […]
Some have said that Israel is a shitty country
And here is proof from our very own Hebrew University of Jerusalem! Two scholars at the Hebrew U. got together to write an article about how Israel commits child abuse toward the Palestinian Arab children living under what they call the “settler-colonial regime”.

Jews Are From Mars . . . Or Perhaps From Ross 128

Here is a relevant statement of such, in their own words, something they call the Trust Principles: That the integrity, independence and freedom from bias of Thomson […]
Did The Jordan Is Palestine Conference Live Up To Expectations?
A conference is a great way to meet people interested in what you are interested in, to hear speakers talk about what you are interested in and to have the opportunity to ask questions of those who know more than you do. There are people who come to conferences knowing next to nothing about the […]
Much Ado About Mudar Zahran
This is Part II of a three-part series on the Jordan Is Palestine Conference that took place on 17 October 2017 and reports on things Mudar Zahran said at the conference and later, in telephone interviews with me. Mudar was at the heart of much controversy in the weeks leading up to the conference. I […]
