A new dawn will leave some behind

Israel can commit war crimes because it’s Israel. That’s essentially the message from Harvard Law Professor and Zionist fanatic Alan Dershowitz. His upcoming book is titled, “The Case Against Israel’s Enemies: Exposing Jimmy Carter and Others Who Stand In The Way of Peace.” Try not to laugh, though I know it’s hard. Former US President…

Yes, they receive stories from the Israeli government

The Australian Jewish News features the following photo on its homepage (no, there wasn’t just a war in Gaza that devastated the area): Yuval Rotem, Israel’s ambassador to Australia, was one of the first in the world to cast a vote in Israeli elections. Thursday (January 29) was the first day for absentee voting with…

Zionist morality must be on holiday

Time magazine reporter Tim McGirk writes for the magazine’s website with startling honesty about his experiences in Gaza: There’s something about phosphorus, the way it smoulders and burns for days, that makes it looks as though the Devil had walked by, leaving fiery footprints in the earth. I saw phosphorus today in a bombed out…

We kill to liberate, clearly

Wikileaks shames the vast majority of mainstream journalists once again by releasing thousands of pages of active insurgency and counterinsurgency doctrine from the US, UK and Indian military. The conclusions? When “we” commit terrorism, it’s self-defence. When “they” do it, it’s terrorism. As usual, most corporate journalists simply republish whatever the Pentagon gives them. They…

War crimes? What war crimes?

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been deeply weakened by his complicity with Israel and the Americans over the last years. The result for his people? Nothing. But his comments on Tuesday – probably as a way to defend himself from siding with Israel over his fellow Palestinians, Hamas – were necessarily strong: We will do…

Possible friends dropping like flies

While Gerry Adams, the former Irish “terrorist”, calls for engagement with Hamas, many Arab bloggers have started a campaign to cease using the word “Israel” and instead refer to the Jewish state as “Israhell“.

Colonial addiction sounds like banana republic to me

How will the next Israeli government view the Obama administration, more likely to pressure the Jewish state over its settlement addiction? Will they go the route of former prime minister Menachem Begin, who more than 25 years ago lashed out at the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Samuel Lewis, telling him Israel was not a banana…

Respecting life would be a good start

Human rights were violated on both sides of the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas. United Nations Humanitarian Affairs Chief John Holmes blasted Hamas Tuesday for its “cynical” use of civilian facilities during recent hostilities in the Gaza Strip. “The reckless and cynical use of civilian installations by Hamas and indiscriminate firing of rockets against…

The occupation matters

Yisrael Beiteinu Chairman MK Avigdor Lieberman, a right-wing fascist likely to increase support in upcoming Israeli elections, lies through his teeth: There is no connection between settlers and the conflict through which we have been living for so many years.

Welcome to your friendly, bigoted state

Just some harmless, racist fun by Israeli soldiers in Gaza: Residents of the Zeitun neighborhood who returned to their homes once the fighting in the region was over discovered that their walls had been marked with slogans such as “Die you all,” Make war not peace,” “Death to Arabs,” “Arabs must die,” and “One down,…
