Voice of Palestine Commentary (Jan. 2, 2013)
“To Speak in Muffled Tones…would be Less Than Human”
– Nelson Mandela
Since Kairos Palestine issued The Bethlehem Call: Here we stand – Stand with us just over a year ago, Israeli injustices have multiplied. Illegal Israeli colonies continue to be built on stolen Christian and Muslim Palestinian lands, putting economic hardship and the brutal matrix of control on the Palestinian civilian population; Bethlehem Christians feel the squeeze as Israeli settlements spread with 22 colonies now surrounding the holy city.… Read more

“You who come from beyond the sea, bent on war,
don’t cut down the tree of our names,
don’t gallop your flaming horses across
the open plains….
Don’t bury your God
in books that back up your claim of
your land over our land,
don’t appoint your God to be a mere
courtier in the palace of the King”
– Mahmoud Darwish, The Penultimate Speech of the “Red Indian” to the White Man

Open Letter to Don Davies, NDP MP for Vancouver Kingsway
Mr. Davies:
We were shocked and disappointed when we saw an ad for you in the regional Zionist paper “Jewish Independent” Dec. 7, 2012 (page 28) where you sent your “Best wishes to all members of the Jewish Community and Happy Chanukah”. You were the only NDP MP to do so, in the company of ads from the pro-Israeli advocacy organization “Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs” (CIJA), the racist “Jewish National Fund”, Liberal MP Joyce Murray, BC Premier Christy Clark, and finally, a full back-page colour ad from Stephen Harper and all his MP cronies in BC.… Read more
