Saudi Prince Alwaleed and Israel’s Sheldon Adelson

Saudi Arabia’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud and Israel’s Sheldon Adelson have one thing in common. They both have billions.

Israelis insist that Israel is the only Democracy in the Middle East. But what kind of Democracy is a country that discriminates against people based on race and religion and continually reinforces that discrimination? More importantly, what kind of people live in an apartheid-like country and pretends that they do not discriminate? By Ray Hanania For years, I always avoided…

Arab election unity puts spotlight on Israeli racism & discrimination

By Ray Hanania The decision by Israel’s Arab political parties to create a “joint list” in the upcoming March 17 Israeli Knesset elections has put the spotlight on Israel’s historic contradictions claiming on one hand to be a “Democracy” but in reality embracing racist and discriminatory practices.

Palestinians can’t condemn Israeli atrocities if they don’t condemn their own

Posted on November 21, 2014September 24, 2018 By rayhanania 2 Comments on Palestinians can’t condemn Israeli atrocities if they don’t condemn their own
Palestinians can’t condemn Israeli atrocities if they don’t condemn their own
