Slow down there, eager journalists, hacks, politicians, Zionist lobby and think-tankers. An attack on Iran is clearly the war you’ve been dying for (since Iraq and Afghanistan worked out so well for you). This piece in the New York Times, a paper with a long history of backing America’s imperial wars, offers necessary caution: The…

If only the world knew how much we love occupation, Israel muses
Another day and just so many challenges faced by the Zionist state. Should we bomb Iran tomorrow or Saturday? I mean, who knows what the Iranian mullahs will be thinking on the Sabbath. Elsewhere, Israel Apartheid Week is nearly upon us so Tel Aviv must respond. What are they doing? Sending settlers (and others) around…
Remember MSM role over war; what the state says we report
Post 9/11, it was Afghanistan. Then Iraq. Then drones over Pakistan. Bombs against Gaza. Counter-terrorism in Somalia and Yemen. Now the main target is Iran. The vast majority of corporate media hacks in the West hear a statement from Israel and America and simply report it without question. That’s called stenography. Salon’s Glenn Greenwald writes:…
Murdoch thuggery in America; his paper calls for war against Iran
This is how Rupert and friends roll (via the New York Post editorial). Because Murdoch’s support for the Iraq war hasn’t already caused enough mayhem: How’s this for astonishing: NBC News is reporting that Israeli spies have been involved in the assassinations of five Iranian nuclear scientists. So far, not so bad. We’d say the…
Azerbaijan, where Iran, Russia and Israel avoid making love to each other
Interesting piece in today’s London Sunday Times which, if true, shows us a little about the murky world of intelligence. Feel safer now knowing how this works? In a warm café in central Baku, Shimon sips his Persian tea and grimaces at the unusually large snowdrifts outside. Nearby is the building that houses the Israeli…
Bombing Iranian nuke sites is a joke, apparently
When capitalism sits uncomfortably with global politics: A senior lawmaker says Iran’s Majlis is considering a plan to cut off the country’s economic transactions with South Korea’s Samsung in reaction to the company’s anti-Iran teaser.
While Israel and its Western lobbyists push for war against Iran, some history
Robert Fisk explains (and mainstream journalists, including on ABC Radio’s AM this morning, who continually repeat White House and Tel Aviv propaganda against Tehran, should take note): Turning round a story is one of the most difficult tasks in journalism – and rarely more so than in the case of Iran. Iran, the dark revolutionary…
Is there anything Julia Gillard won’t do to get closer to the Zionist lobby?
Apparently not, according to today’s Melbourne Age, though one has to wonder; our government can’t really support Zionist occupation more than it already does. Well, I guess she could order an Australian military invasion of Iran; that may keep Tel Aviv happy for a few minutes: Julia Gillard has moved to strengthen her already close…
