  Sharon: Didn’t’ Stop At Red, But Knew Where He Wanted To Go

  It Does Not Stop at a Red Light is the title of a (bad) Sharon biography, written in the wake of Israel’s 1982 attack on Lebanon. Sharon ’s biography is that of a fighter who has no qualms, ignores the value of human life, has no respect for hierarchy, mocks rules of the democratic system and perceives military force as the alpha and omega of any political strategy.

  Netanyahu Against The Whole World

  A 1990 Palestinian poster depicting resistance against the Israeli occupation. It’s surprising how little was written to mark 20 years since the beginning of the 1987 Palestinian uprising, usually named “The First Intifada.” Even among the Palestinian population of the occupied Palestinian territories, there were almost no public events to commemorate what has been the most important popular (…)
