Ich konnte mir nicht im Traum vorstellen, dass die Zeitschrift „Aus Politik und Zeitgeschichte“ (APuZ), deren Redaktion ich von 1986 bis 2008 angehört habe, bis ich auf Druck der zionistischen Israellobby und unter aktivem Zutun des Präsidenten der Bundeszentrale für politische Bildung (BpB), Thomas Krüger, in den Fachbereich „Förderung“ strafversetzt worden bin, dass ein solch kruder und einseitiger Propagandaartikel jemals in APuZ hätte erscheinen können. Aber unter Leitung dieses Präsidenten rangiert die BpB wohl kurz hinter dem israelischen Hasbara (Propaganda)-Ministerium. Von Ausgewogenheit, zu der die BpB laut Erlass verpflichtet ist, kann seit Krügers Einsetzung durch den damaligen Innenminister und SPD-Parteifreund Otto Schily keine Rede mehr sein.

European pension funds still profit from Israel’s war crimes

Major European pension funds are profiting from the dispossession of the Palestinian people.

The Copenhagen-based research group Danwatch says in a new report that it has “identified European investments in a number of Israeli banks that finance, support, and facilitate illegal settlements.”

Danwatch says that the top five European investors hold $357 million in shares of five big Israeli banks that are heavily involved in colonizing the occupied West Bank.

The inside story of Labour Party's anti-Semitism saga

A political activist who was accused of anti-Semitism at the Labour Party conference in September by a pro-Israel MP has been exonerated in undercover footage seen by Middle East Eye.

Video footage secretly filmed at the conference in Liverpool in September 2016 shows a woman engaged in a heated discussion at the Labour Friends of Israel (LFI) stall with Joan Ryan, the MP for Enfield North, about the two-state solution.

Later, Ryan discussed the exchange with other members of the group. Details subsequently appeared in media outlets and the woman – who only wishes to be known as “Jean” – was the subject of a Labour Party investigation, which eventually cleared her.

Israel embassy plot off agenda as Netanyahu visits Britain

Britain's prime minister is expected to steer clear of raising the recent plot by an Israeli embassy staffer to "take down" a senior member of her government during talks with her counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu, next week.

Theresa May's spokeswoman said on Thursday that the issue of illegal settlements would be included in the Monday meeting, but that the talks would focus more on trade deals after Britain's exit from the EU.

The more Juif becomes Theresa, the more antisemitic becomes Britain.

Today, the Jewish Chronicle (JC) reported that the number of antisemitic incidents in Britain in 2016 were the highest on record. The CST’s statistics show that there were 1,309 incidents of 'Jew hatred' last year — a 36 per cent increase on the previous 12 months.

Of course, the CST is not a reliable source and its‘antisemitism figures’ have been debunked numerous times before. However, if these statistics are accurate, they suggest only that the more the British government invests in fighting anti-Semitism.... the more antisemitic Britain becomes.

This is easy enough to explain. The fight against antisemitism is now a profitable industry. Every day, we learn of some new Jewish organisation dedicated to fighting antisemitism and to hunt down the Jew haters, and all at the expense of the British tax payer*.

Belgiens Botschafter in Israel einbestellt

Israel hat den belgischen Botschafter einbestellt. Grund sei ein Treffen des belgischen Premiers Charles Michel mit Vertretern der Organisationen »Breaking the Silence« und »B’Tselem« gewesen. Dem Botschafter sei im Außenministerium eine Rüge übermittelt worden, teilte ein Sprecher am Donnerstag mit. Israel sehe das Treffen als schwerwiegenden Affront, teilte Ministerpräsident Benjamin Netanjahu im Internet mit. Die beiden Gruppen kritisieren die Besatzungspolitik scharf. Außerdem gebe es laut Netanjahu Bemühungen der belgischen Justiz, ranghohe Israelis vor Gericht zu bringen, darunter die Exaußenministerin Zipora Livni und Offiziere.

Trump’s Refugee Ban – Made in Israel?

Egypt consulted Israel in Red Sea islands transfer

Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry discussed with a top Israeli official the details of the contentious transfer of two Egyptian islands to Saudi Arabia, new leaks revealed on Friday night.

Shoukry is heard discussing by phone the Egyptian side's negotiating position on the controversial transfer of Tiran and Sanafir, and asking for Israel's support.

The agreement, announced in April 2016, caused a public uproar and rare mass protests by Egyptians, who insist that the uninhabited islands of Tiran and Sanafir are Egyptian.

The government says the islands have always belonged to Saudi Arabia and that Egypt had merely administered them while on lease since the 1950s. Critics, however, accuse President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of "selling" the islands in return for Saudi investments.

The leaking of the phone conversation, broadcast by Egyptian opposition TV channel Mekameleen on Friday evening, hints at the level of internal dissent in the government in Cairo.

NFL players pull out of Israel propaganda tour

Immediately after contributing to his team’s Super Bowl victory last Sunday, Martellus Bennett of the New England Patriots was asked what he thought about an upcoming visit to Mexico to represent the National Football League (NFL).

“Tear down the wall! Tear down the wall! That’s what I think about going to Mexico,” he cried.

Bennett then became the first of a number of Patriots players who confirmed they would skip a visit with President Donald Trump at the White House.
Hasbara tour

But The Forward reported that Bennett would be taking a different trip. Along with 11 other NFL players he would be “heading to Israel after the team’s historic win on a hasbara, or Israeli public relations tour for American football players.”

The headline even quoted Bennett purportedly declaring, “I’m going to Israel.”
