  • You can't have free speech and Zionism, Mr. President!Alan Hart
    October 2, 2012

    As the New York Times put it, "President Obama used his last major address on a global stage before the November election to deliver a strong defense of America's belief in freedom of speech, challenging fledgling Arab and North African democracies to ensure that right even in the face of violence."

  • Remembering Abu Jihad and why, really, the Israelis killed himAlan Hart
    November 13, 2012

    More than 24 years after the event, and to prevent a battle with the newspaper in the courts, Israeli military censors cleared for publication by Yediot Ahronot a truth - that it was Israeli commandoes who, on 16 April 1988, went all the way to Tunis to murder Abu Jihad, the co-founder with Arafat of Fatah and, at the time of his death, Arafat's number two and most likely successor in the event of his assassination.

  • Why the Palestinian diaspora must become politically engagedAlan Hart
    January 27, 2013

    The following is the text of an address I delivered yesterday to a conference in London organized by the Palestine Return Centre on the subject of Britain's Legacy in Palestine, which included a session on how to reverse the catastrophic consequences of the legacy. I was aware that what I was going to say would be uncomfortable listening for some in the audience, but almost all thanked for saying what has to be said.

  • 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?

  • Israel-Palestine: THE questionAlan Hart
    March 10, 2013

    There is one absolute pre-condition for ending the Israel-Palestine conflict by diplomacy and negotiations on the basis, as it would have to be, of justice for the Palestinians and peace with security for all.

  • The green light for Zionism’s ethnic cleansing of PalestineAlan Hart
    March 25, 2013

    I find myself wondering how many of our present day leaders, President Obama in particular, are aware of what happened in Palestine that became Israel on 10 March 65 years ago today.

  • MY LAST POST - Final thoughts on Zionism’s success and Arab failureAlan Hart
    April 28, 2013

    I am withdrawing from the battlefield of the war for the truth of history as it relates to the making and sustaining of the conflict in and over Palestine that became Israel, and the following is an explanation of why.

  • The Jewish Paradox arising from The Curse of ZionismAlan Hart
    November 19, 2013

    I was inspired (perhaps I should say provoked) to write this piece by something U.S. Vice-President Joe Biden said in his speech to the recent J Street National Conference in Washington DC.

  • Zionism's Last Card and Hope for PalestineAlan Hart
    December 8, 2013

    Following the interim agreement with Iran the next six months will tell us whether or not the American-led Zionist lobby and Zionism itself has played its last card and lost. If it does lose President Obama will be free to use the leverage he has to try to cause Israel to be serious about peace on terms almost all Palestinians and most other Arabs and Muslims everywhere could accept (and which would not pose any threat to the wellbeing and security of those Jews now living in Palestine that became Israel and who wanted to stay). The stakes could not be higher.

  • Israel-Palestine: Is Peace possible on Obama's watch? Alan Hart
    January 17, 2014

    The answer to my headline question could be, not necessarily would be, "Yes" IF President Obama was prepared to put America's own best interests first and use as necessary all the leverage he has to oblige Israel to accept that peace with the Palestinians requires a complete end to its occupation of the West Bank. With East Jerusalem the capital of a Palestinian state or, preferably, Jerusalem an undivided, open city and the capital of two states, Israel back to its 1967 pre-war frontiers subject only to minor and mutually agreed border modifications is an Israel the Palestinians could and would make peace with. But...
