It has been reported in the Jerusalem newspaper, Haaretz, that the Israeli ambassador to Ireland, Ze’ev Boker, recently sent a warning back to the Israeli state regarding an expected move by the Dublin government to officially recognize the state of Palestine. Although both Irish Houses of Parliament, known collectively as the Oireachtas, overwhelmingly passed a […]
Zionism, Unionism, and their slow learners
As I browse both newspapers and online platforms, I am regularly saddened to see confused contributions from certain obtuse individuals in relation to the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. I suspect that each of this small handful of Ulster Unionist commentators will have a complete and unrelenting command of ‘The Sash’. This aspect of their character […]
Zionism Is A Delusion
As a participant in occasional on-line polemical debate with Zionists, I am always struck not by what they say, but by all that they don’t. Zionists have great difficulty in justifying their ideology, based as it is upon the text of the Tanakh (the ancient Hebrew bible from which is derived the Christian Old Testament). […]
The Amona Distraction
It was with resignation that I read the recent Irish News article entitled, ‘Israeli forces evict Jewish settlers from Palestinian land’ (Feb 2nd). The story concerned the eviction of 250 illegal settlers from the Amona settlement in the Occupied West Bank. The narrative attempted to portray the Israeli PM, Netanyahu, as something of a peacemaker […]
The lessons not learned
It has been less than 18 months since the body of 3 year old Alan Kurdi washed up upon a Turkish shore. The pitiful image is still fresh and raw in the minds of many. We are angry and we are disgusted. But for how long will Alan’s memory endure? In 1221, the Mongols slaughtered […]
US Geo-political gaming
Geo-politics is a complex and scary game with severe repercussions for the losers. Today the US, leader of the right-wing bloc, is engaged in widespread manoeuvres to further extend their imperialist ambitions. The US, who consistently offer mealy-mouthed utterances upon democracy and freedom, is creating a belligerent front on the Russian borders, designed to both […]
The truth of Palestine
Many astute commentators have drawn comparisons between the behaviour of Israel and that of the Nazi regime. There is much truth in such an analogy. During the Nazi reign of terror, Jewish citizens were discriminated against and persecuted. They were forced to wear yellow stars, and segregation from other Germans was enforced in an attempt […]
Israel’s Terrorist Origins
Here are a few salient facts about those who founded the state of Israel and their supposed authority to do so. David Ben Gurion, known as the ‘Father of Israel’, was born in Poland and only entered Palestine in 1906 when he was 20 years old. He was the first Israeli PM. Of the approximately […]
Israel in Scotland? – A Comment On Zionist Hypocrisy
The Israeli state was created in 1948 by foreign nationals whose ancestors (in some cases) are believed to have resided in the land of Palestine. These descendants returned to the region with the intention of taking the territory from the indigenous people and expelling them in the process. In most instances the Zionist migrant families […]
Facilitating a Zionist agenda
The following letter was sent to the newspaper, The Irish News, the leading Nationalist publication in both the Occupied Six Counties and the northern half of Ireland, by a regular follower of Rebel Voice.. The paper has on occasion published reports with a decidedly pro-Israeli bent. It is also a fiercely Catholic paper. We, at […]
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism
Rebel Voice has observed the campaign, currently continuing, in which those who speak out against the supremacist ideology of Zionism are aggressively targeted, and smeared with false accusations, in an attempt to isolate them from mainstream society. This is a vile tactic which must by highlighted and strongly countered by those who are not, now, […]
