Imam Husain Islamic Centre talk on Israel/Palestine
I spoke last night to a packed room of around 170 people at Sydney’s Imam Husain Islamic Centre (all photos here): I was honoured to engage with a large Muslim audience (as I was told that the idea of a Jew speaking to such a group happened rarely, if ever, due to the fear of…
Just another barrier to peace
A secret Israeli database reveals the full extent of an illegal settlement.
Struggle for the future
Zaki Chehab, Arab journalist and author of a seminal book on Hamas, surveys the recent war in Gaza: Walk anywhere in Gaza and the impression one gets is that the Hamas government is still a force to be reckoned with. It shows no signs of losing its grip on this tiny 25-mile by 6-mile strip…

I saw phosphorus today in a bombed out…
