When “liberal Zionists” slam BDS, you know moral compass is lost
What a sad sight. After months and months of the Australian Murdoch press, major political parties and the Zionist establishment shamefully suggesting that activists who back BDS against Israel are akin to Nazis, a supposedly “liberal Zionist” group, The Australian Jewish Democratic Society (AJDS), releases a statement today and makes exactly the same comparison. If…
EU only knows how to release PR when Jewish fanatics act up
Yet another attack by Jewish colonists on a Palestinian mosque and the EU expresses concern. Omar Barghouti explains the constant weakness of this position (with a message under the headline “EU’s Ashton condemns burning synagogue in France as hurting inter-faith trust”): Well, not quite what Ashton said or what happened. There was no synagogue burnt…
If UN saw madness in Sri Lanka, where’s the real investigation?
Wikileaks offers typically invaluable insights but the obvious question remains; where’s the thorough pressure by the UN to force Colombo to answer serious allegations of war crimes? The UN Secretary General had told the diplomats that he saw a scene of “complete destruction”, when he flew over the former “no-fire zone” in Sri Lanka. He…
What never-ending occupation has done; Hamas needs Gaza blockade
Amira Hass in Haaretz explains: How embarrassing. While solidarity activists are planning new protests against the blockade of the Gaza Strip, the Hamas government is adding to limitations on Palestinians’ freedom of movement. One might justifiably ask: What are a few high school students Hamas refuses to allow to travel to the United States to…
Who or what really caused the London riots?
Finally, hopefully, some answers: The causes and consequences of the English riots last month, the most serious bout of civil unrest in a generation, will be examined in a study by the Guardian and the London School of Economics. Researchers will interview hundreds of people who were involved, in the first empirical study into the…
Dishonest media continues lies over BDS to smear support for Palestine as anti-Semitic
The rot continues in Murdoch’s Australian. After Greens Senator Lee Rhiannon defended her right to be pro-Palestinian and not anti-Semitic (a leap of logic only made by desperate Zionists and hack media), a flurry of letters ensued. This was yesterday: While those behind the boycott of Israeli products will claim that this is not anti-Semitic,…
Afghanistan may be at war but rest assured the vultures will come
A friend says that a link to this page appeared on Murdoch’s Australian today, just proving that exploitating the fears and conflict of a war-torn country is never beyond the remit of disaster capitalists: U.S. geologists just found some $1 trillion of untapped mineral deposits in Afghanistan. What’s next for the war-torn country? Overnight, Afghanistan…
Who really wants Serco to remain in Australia? Not the people
With so many unanswered questions, privatisation is not the way forward for helping people. But then again, that’s not the point, is it? It’s about profit above humanity: The private company that runs the Christmas Island detention centre should be stripped of its contract, and control of the network returned to the Commonwealth, says the…
