Federal Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon speaks truthfully about what’s been happening in Gaza and the Middle East, unlike the sheep in the two major parties who simply mouth platitudes about Israel and receive their talking points from the Zionist lobby or political leadership. The following speech was given by Rhiannon on 20 November: The other…

Here’s the Australian Parliament’s leading Zionist advocate
Melbourne Labor MP Michael Danby said the following in parliament this week: Mr DANBY (Melbourne Ports) (13:49):… On Monday and Tuesday I had leave for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. I thank the whips and the parliament. For 120,000 Australians of similar background, even the most secular families, this is like Christmas, a time…
Australian Zionists fear Israeli group Breaking the Silence and its message on IDF immorality
This is an instructive story of how mainstream Australian Jewish groups are petrified that a) the public will hear critical and truthful views about Israeli behaviour in the West Bank and b) a desire to “protect” Jews from even understanding what Israeli occupation means. A feature appeared in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald last…
An open letter to the Australian Greens about Israeli settlements and green-washing
The following open letter has been sent today to every Greens MP in the country and is being circulated widely on social media and in the public (and a petition… to back the campaign): An open letter to The Australian Greens Party The Greens have since their foundation been a party that supports justice and the…
On Australian Zionist establishment trying to squash any talk of pesky Israeli occupation
This article in Haaretz is interesting, not least because a) the story it tells about Limmud Oz banning a session of dissident Jews was not about BDS (full details here) and b) because it calls the group I co-founded Independent Australian Jewish Voices “far-left”. I’m offended. I mean, surely further left than “far-left” would be…
Palestine burns, Israel occupies and Zionists look to the sky over UN vote
This week (probably) sees the Palestinian Authority (PA) go to the UN and ask for something resembling statehood. It’s all so vague and so deeply troubling that too many in the Western world have blindly supported it (such as today’s UK Observer). Others, such as Gideon Levy in Haaretz, can’t understand why Barack Obama isn’t…
Hate Muslims and multiculturalism; welcome to the Zionist party
The anniversary of 9/11 is a good time to reflect on one of the growing alliances in modern times; the far-right in Europe and beyond and hardline Zionism. Its most extreme form was expressed by the Norway killer Anders Breivik. He “loved” Israel because the Zionist state is constantly fighting, killing and demeaning Arabs and…
Anorther day and yet more dishonesty over BDS, Palestine and Australian democracy
You would think Israel is about to be attacked tomorrow by aliens coming to suck the Zionism away. If only. In reality, today sees yet more craven politicians – including some Greens, who clearly have been pressured by the Zionist lobby and their Dear Leader in Canberra (aka Bob Brown) and just want BDS to…
BDS isn’t akin to Nazi Germany and damn those who say so
My following essay appears in New Matilda today: Equating the BDS movement with Nazism is both offensive and outrageous. So why aren’t members of the Jewish community speaking out on this, asks Antony Loewenstein Joseph Stalin changed his name and so did New South Wales Federal Greens MP Lee… Rhiannon. Stalin, writes Alan Howe, executive editor…
Murdoch reporter unable to use internet to discover Max Brenner role in Zionist occupation
Welcome to the state of Australian “journalism”. Today’s article in Murdoch’s Australian discusses the current controversy over peaceful protests for Palestine against an Israeli business in Sydney, Melbourne and beyond. Reporter Cameron Stewart writes in a classic “balanced” way. One side says that but the other argue something else. If he actually used Google he…
