A ‘pure state’ is a pipe dream, IsraelÂ
XOLELA MANGCU
THE idea of Israel remaining a purely Jewish state is incompatible with the existence of a growing Arab population in that country. It is also incredible that in the 21st century, we have political practices and ideologies that are reminiscent of the ethnic nationalism of the late 19th century and early 20th century. That is the period during which ethnic nationalism led to the rise of fascism and Nazism in Europe.
Is it fathomable, then, that people who were the biggest victims of those evil movements could turn around to visit such evil on others? The rightward shift in Israeli politics is troubling precisely because that is what it portends.

Turning Christians against Israel
by Mark Tooley
In May, the Carter Center in Atlanta, with patron Jimmy Carter presiding, hosted liberal religious officials to talk about the Middle East, releasing a statement effectively calling for a more neutral U.S. stance towards Israel. In June, in between meeting with Hamas officials, Carter met with Palestinian church prelates in Jerusalem. One of his hosts was Naim Ateek, a Palestinian Anglican clergy who heads Sabeel, an advocate of Palestinian Liberation Theology, and a chief voice for anti-Israel organizing among Western churches.
The Rev. Ateek is a frequent visitor to the U.S. and, after attending the early July Episcopal Church General Convention in Anaheim, is doing a speaking tour of churches and radio stations in the Pacific Northwest, mostly touting his latest book, "A Palestinian Christian Cry for Reconciliation." On July 20 he was interviewed on KUOW Puget Sound Public Radio, broadcasting his themes of Israel’s similarity to South African Apartheid, the injustice of Israel’s security barrier, and his insistence that Palestinian Christians are dwindling in numbers because of Israel and not because of Hamas or radical Islam.

GEORGE GALLOWAY: THE NOBLE MAN
by Khalid Amayreh
Unlike many politicians who would rather stay on the safe side, even if that means betraying their conscience, George Galloway represents a rare breed of morally-guided politicians who are willing to call the spade a spade even in the face of danger and brutality.
The British lawmaker has displayed immense courage in speaking up against crimes and injustices inflicted by Israel, the United States and their European allies in places like Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon and Palestine.
