classic anti-Semitism
The movement of Gen. `Awn was aligned with the Zionists in the US back in the 1990s, although it has become anti-Israeli in the last few years.

PFLP’s Khalidah Jarrar
I saw Khalidah Jarrar of the PFLP on AlJazeera. How awful. She sounded like some official from an EU country. Why doesn’t the PFLP disband? It has no purpose anymore, especially with Sa`dat in jail, and the lousy Malluh in charge.

Daily Zionism
“Gaza had never seen anything like the numbers of dead bodies lying on its streets. Hospital morgues were already full. The dead were piled on top of each other outside.

Israel’s so-called "Peace Camp"
This is the size of the Israeli “peace camp”: “Around 300 activists took part in the protest, in order to condemn what they called Israel’s “genocide and war crimes”. The demonstrators marched through the streets of Tel Aviv until they reached the ministry’s headquarters.”
