Which is why this story in Murdoch’s Australian – fair and balanced as usual, presuming that simply protesting outside a company with ties to the IDF is anti-Semitic by definition – is so revealing. There’s fear that BDS is taking off globally and what do critics do? Allege anti-Semitism and desperately hope that nobody talks…

Australia ready to take those pesky blacks from Israel?
This story seems unbelievable. Leading Australian Zionist politician and occupation defender Michael Danby wanting to highlight Israel’s blatant racism? Mmm: MK Danny Danon (Likud) requested from Australian MP Michael Danby on Wednesday to propose sending African migrants from Israel to Australia in parliament. Danon and Danby discussed the issue during the Australian politician’s recent visit…
The deep reach of Zionist lobby in the Australian Parliament and society
One of the new Australian leaders of the Israel-first brigade is millionaire Albert Dadon, who founded the Australia-Israel Leadership Forum. What’s that? Taking journalists and politicians to Zionist Israel and making them realise that uncritical praise for its glorious democracy is the way it must be, now and always. Being wined and dined clearly helps…
Australian Murdoch press wants to insulate Israel from global move towards Palestinian justice and BDS
It’s a surreal sight. As debate in many Western nations move towards finding ways to hold Israel to account, Australia’s parochial media is desperate to target anybody who dares challenge Israel. Here’s the overseas debate: To boycott or not to boycott? That is the question that growing numbers of American Jews on the left wing…
Speaking of Murdoch thuggery over Israel/Palestine
Another small step in the glorious path of Rupert Murdoch’s legacy. How can I hate Palestinians this week, my minions? Here’s Australian Murdoch editor David Penberthy writing today about the Greens and racism (this coming from a man who recently suggested backing BDS against Israel was akin to Kristalnacht under the Nazis.). I wrote a…
Real message of Marrickville BDS; Zionists scared of focus on occupation
It’s one day before the New South Wales election. Sydney’s Marrickville council embraced BDS late last year and since then we’ve seen a litany of hysterical attacks by the Zionist lobby, Liberal Party, Labor Party and Murdoch press. The main “issues”? The Greens are anti-Semitic, want Israel destroyed and hate Jews. That’s the kind of…

The Left and the Right in Australia are (mostly) united behind Wikileaks
Wikileaks is bringing together some strange coalitions in Australia, individuals with different political views who recognise Julian Assange as a man who has dared challenge the establishment in ways rarely, if ever, seen. Of course the powerful hate him. But truths aren’t so easily dismissed. Only those who care so deeply about maintaining society’s status-quo…
Please count how many in the Aussie elites have more than one master
Just how many senior Australian politicians are essentially working for the American interest, being good little sources of information for the empire? We are not a truly independent nation: FEDERAL minister and right-wing Labor powerbroker Mark Arbib has been revealed as a confidential contact of the United States embassy in Canberra, providing inside information and…
Australian unions, Paul Howes, BDS and loving Israel
My following investigation appears in today’s edition of Crikey: The Middle East “quagmire” is largely “the fault of Israel”, according to Paul Howes, national secretary of the Australian Workers Union (AWU). In an interview with Crikey, the author of Confessions of a Faceless Man said that he was a “critical friend of Israel” and the…
