According to the Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, the American executives were given a tour of a number of…

Abe Foxman doesn’t want to talk about BDS, Arab rights, real democracy etc etc
The meltdown of an American Zionist leader, Abe Foxman, is an astounding thing to see: Abraham Foxman from Blue Pilgrimage on Vimeo. Max Blumenthal comments and I totally agree: Personally, I would prefer to see Foxman stay at the helm of the ADL for a long time, and not only because I enjoy witnessing the…
It’s not easy backing death squads in Iraq
This is what we have created in Iraq by our own actions; turning a blind eye to torture, murder and abuse. In the name of “liberation”, of course: One: During the foreboding months of 2005, one police unit struck more fear into Iraqis than the entire occupying US army. They were known as the Wolf…
Wolfensohn: “no-one particularly likes the Jews, no-one particularly likes the Palestinians”
James Wolfensohn, former World Bank President and former head of the Middle East Quartet, was on Australian TV last night talking about Israel/Palestine and the message was clear; America is Israel’s lawyer: Jim Wolfensohn, I’d like to focus mainly on your personal experience as George W. Bush’s handpicked choice as special enjoy of quartet to…

Israel has problems but hey Hamas is nearby (relevance, Zionists?)
Following my article yesterday in the Sydney Morning Herald on Israel/Palestine, the following letters appear in today’s edition: For an alternative to Antony Loewenstein’s polemic against Israel (“Western politicians prefer to ignore Israel’s inherent racism”, October 28) I refer readers to Freedom in the World: Israel 2010 by Freedom House, a venerable and widely respected…
Are we allowed to violently assault asylum seekers? Just asking
Maybe one day, Western governments will ask themselves whether private companies should be tasked (and paid) to do the dirty work of removing refugees. Out of sight and out of mind: The government’s deportation policy has been thrown into confusion after it emerged that the Home Office banned private security firms from forcing detainees on…
Nir Rosen on why Muslims don’t like occupation
The fact that such sensible views are so rarely heard in the mainstream is revealing in itself:
Peace doesn’t sell on our TV screens
How we view war, conflict and peace and our place in the world is primarily through the media. It’s no wonder, for example, that truly peaceful spokespeople (as opposed to generals and “officials) are routinely excluded from the debate: The Institute for Economics and Peace (IEP) and Media Tenor today announced the results of “Measuring…
