"Could Arab (Palestinian) staying power ultimately defeat Zionism?"Alan Hart
August 10, 2011
That was the headline over a recent post by David Hearst for The Guardian's Comment Is Free space. It began: "There is an Arabic word you come across a lot when Palestinians talk about their future. Sumud means steadfastness and it has turned into a strategy: when the imbalance of power is so pronounced, the most important thing to do is to stay put. Staying put against overwhelming odds is regarded as a victory."
"Zionism and peace are incompatible"Alan Hart
October 28, 2010
At last somebody has said it in the most explicit way possible. The somebody also said: “The problem is Zionism and the solution is dismantling the Zionist framework and instituting a secular democracy that does not discriminate between Israelis and Palestinians.”
9/11: Open letter to ADL’s Abe FoxmanAlan Hart
September 13, 2011
Dear Abe Foxman: In your lengthy article Decade of Deceit: Anti-Semitic 9/11 Conspiracy Theories 10 Years Later, you label a number of named writers and commentators including me who say that Israel’s Mossad was or even might have been involved in the 9/11 terror attack as anti-Semitic, and you assert that they are demonizing “the Jews”.
A "moment of reckoning" but for whom?Alan Hart
September 7, 2010
I never thought a day could come when I would agree with anything stated by Moshe Arens (three times an Israeli minister of defense, a one-time foreign minister, a former ambassador to the U.S. and, in my opinion, Zionism’s in-Israel equivalent of Richard "Prince of Darkness" Perle in America). But the day came.
A defeat for Israel...?Alan Hart
December 2, 2012
It's too soon to know whether the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas will be more than a sticking plaster to be ripped off by more violence whether provoked by Israel or not, but while we wait for events to give us the answer, there is a good case for saying that under Netanyahu’s leadership the Zionist (not Jewish) state has suffered a significant defeat.
A good question about American interests in the Middle East but what is the answer?Alan Hart
October 15, 2012
In an article for TomDispatch, Peter Van Buren (a U.S. Foreign Service Officer for many years) posed what he described as Six Critical Foreign Policy Questions That Won't Be Raised in Presidential Debates. Question three was under the headline - What do we want from the Middle East?
A short open letter to Secretary of State Kerry.Alan Hart
March 10, 2013
Dear Secretary of State,
An idiot's overview of why Western capitalism is crashingAlan Hart
December 11, 2011
The idiot of the headline is me in the sense that I am not an economist and have never had any formal association with study of the theory and practise of economics, but... I began to understand why what is today called Western capitalism was bound to crash way back in the early 1970's when I was researching and producing an epic documentary on the everyday reality of global poverty and its implications for all.
An off-the-record New Year conversation with President ObamaAlan Hart
January 11, 2013
Q: Mr. President, I'd like to begin this conversation with a quote from a recent article by Thomas L. Friedman in the New York Times. He wrote: "The only thing standing between Israel and national suicide any more is America and its willingness to tell Israel the truth." If you were free to speak your mind to Israel, I mean Israel's Jews, what would be your message?
Anti-Israelism: Why Zionism doesn't and can't get itAlan Hart
February 3, 2010
There is no doubt it. More and more people all over the world, and probably many of their governments behind closed doors, are beginning to see the Zionist state of Israel for what it really is
