- Nederlandstalig;
website over het Midden-Oosten conflict en de berichtgeving erover in
Nederland: "Op deze
website publiceren wij
reacties op het nieuws en op opinierende artikelen in de
Nederlandstalige schrijvende pers. In de media wordt het vaak niet zo
nauw genomen met het waarheidsgehalte van de gepubliceerde feiten, en
ook in opiniestukken worden nogal eens halve waarheden en hele
drogredeneringen aangetroffen. Op protesten daarover, in de vorm van
ingezonden brieven, artikelen of telefoontjes wordt vaak niet of zeer
restrictief gereageerd.
Onze interesse gaat met
name uit naar
het conflict in het Midden Oosten en de berichtgeving daarover. U zult
hier zowel onze eigen invalshoek als die van anderen

Jodendom speelt een belangrijke rol in mijn verhalen. Doel is om zo'n
goed mogelijk beeld te geven van de Joodse religie. Het is de taak van
het Jodendom om te onderwijzen over de Ene God die het universum
bestuurt. Ik hoop dat mijn artikelen daaraan een bijdrage zullen
leveren. De onderwerpen uit de materiële wereld waarover ik
schrijf gaan over Israël (politiek, technologie, toerisme,
economie,milieu, etc), Israëlische lobby (Hasbara), Midden
Oosten
(politiek), [...]."

violence in the name of Palestinian liberation. We
all used weapons against one another, and looked at each other only
through weapon sights; however today we cooperate and commit ourselves
to the following:
We no longer believe
that the conflict can be resolved through violence. / We
believe that the blood shed will not end unless we act together to
terminate the occupation and stop all forms of violence. / We
call for the establishment of a Palestinian State, alongside the State
of Israel. The two states can exist in peace and security beside each
other. / We
will use only non-violent means to achieve our goals and call for both
societies to end violence."

working parallel to each other; the second is that coordination is
possible between these movements, whatever political and ideological
differences exist."

historical documents and other articles
-
"These pages were
created to
explain Zionism and anti-Zionism, and to support the elementary
proposition that the Jewish people have the same right to
self-determination as the Czechs, Poles, Greeks, Americans, British,
French, Armenians, Turks, Jordanians, Lebanese and any other group that
chooses to develop its own national culture."
The Zionism Pages
- "The Zionism pages
are intended for
use by citizens who want to know about Zionist ideas and history and
the controversy surrounding Zionism, and by supporters of Zionism who
want to know how to explain Zionism to others."
Zionism and
Israel on the Web
- "Zionism on the Web
supports the
proposition that every people has the right to live in freedom and
develop its own culture, language and society. Jews are people like any
other people. The Jewish people is a people like any other.
We,
the Jewish people, have the right to self-determination in our own
national home, where we can speak our own language and develop our own
culture. Those are the basic ideas of Zionism."
The New Zionist
- "New Zionist is a
small group of
Jews, living in Israel and in the Diaspora, who self-identify as
Zionists. We started this project as an attempt to chart the status of
the Zionist program in this age of post-nationalism. Is Zionism
finished?"
Essential
Texts of Zionism
- Full texts from Pinsker, Herzl, Hess, Ruppin and other early Zionist

Peace
with Realism - Toward a Just Peace in the Middle East
- website opposing lies and distortions in the conflict:
"We
at Peace with Realism are concerned about the prevalence of this
misinformation and the distortions that have succeeded in replacing
reality. Peace cannot come from a lie. And so the mission of Peace with
Realism is to make a contribution toward stating the truth and
correcting the misconceptions that have taken root in the minds of many
people and that, if left unchecked, will surely prevent the realization
of any chance for peace. This does not imply approving or excusing
everything Israel does - these pages also criticize Israel and its
policies when it matters. But a very effective and highly organized
publicity campaign, unlike anything on the Israeli side, has slanted
much of the news and public perception against Israel, and it is this
web site's mission to address this situation and offer some balance to
it."

the present day, the American Jewish Congress has been deeply involved

AJCongress has been devoted to the Zionist dream of a Jewish homeland,
a stance which set us apart from the overwhelming majority of organized
Jewry."

like, cool.' A weblog translating Israeli life into English."

Point of
no return
- Blog with information and links about the Middle East's forgotten
Jewish
refugees: "In
just 50 years, almost a million Jews, whose communities stretch back up
to 3,000 years, have been 'ethnically cleansed' from Arab countries.
These refugees outnumber the Palestinian refugees two to one, but their
narrative has all but been ignored. Unlike Palestinian refugees, they
fled not war, but systematic persecution. Seen in this light, Israel,
which absorbed most of these Jewish refugees, is the legitimate
expression of the self-determination of an oppressed indigenous, Middle
Eastern people.
This website is
dedicated to
preserving the memory of the near-extinct Jewish communities. It will
attempt to pass on the stories of the Jewish refugees and their current
struggle for recognition and restitution. Awareness of the injustice
done to these Jews can only advance the cause of peace and
reconciliation."
