Israel lobby friend and Murdoch man defames Arabs in a good day’s work
It can’t be easy for a Murdoch editor to find new ways to damn Palestinians but the… Herald Sun’s Alan Howe constantly comes through with the goods.

Why Zionist repression must be met with true resistance
This story, told in Mondoweiss, is precisely the reason Israel is increasingly isolated globally. Outrageous behaviour but sadly typical: I am an American citizen.
