The Israeli group Breaking the Silence recently released a report about alleged crimes by IDF officers during the Gaza war. The response from many in Israel was to attack the messenger rather than examining the charges. Benjamin Netanyahu continued this onslaught during his visit to London: “They are breaking their silence about the only democracy…

When Arabs just get in the way of Zionist expansion
JTA reports on growing moves by religious Jews to divide and conquer Arab villages with previously minimal Jewish presence: “We fear these are extremists who want to make Peki’in into a Jewish village,” Mofeed Mohana, a former city councilman, told JTA. “They are buying homes and walk around with guns. We are not against Jews…
Stalin is landing in Washington
Rush Limbaugh, America’s leading radio host, on the Obama administration: This whole administration is as radical and far left as any that the country has ever had, and what they’re trying to do here to communications is simply stifle dissenting voices. They’re trying to wipe out any opposition.
A deeply flawed “democracy” in name only
Who says academics are irrelevant in the modern age? Israel’s Neve Gordon continues to cause waves after calling for a boycott of his own country over its discriminatory and “apartheid” regime in the occupied territories. The President of his institution, Ben Gurion University, wrote the following: ”¦The severity and scope of the [Gordon’s] attack are…
Spare us your Zionist whining
Israel finally receives a little pressure over its illegal behaviour and Israel Harel in Haaretz thinks about the Nazis: This ongoing, organized, global and completely unbridled campaign of demonization is liable (and who should know better than we?) to end in a new license for genocide – against us.
Fondly waving goodbye to two-states
Israel Policy Forum gives one reason why there seems to be such a recent flurry of Obama administration-led rhetoric over the Middle East conflict: According to Peace Now, in 2008 Jews represented 51.8 percent, and Palestinians 48.2 percent of those living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea.

Waiting on Obama is a fool’s game
Following Israeli academic Neve Gordon’s recent call for a boycott campaign against Israel due to its “apartheid” nature, Jerusalem Post columnist Larry Derfner simply refuses to go this far (wishing, pointlessly in my view, that somehow outside pressure, from the Obama administration, will force Israel to become a civilised nation): Supporting the BDS [boycott, divestment…
Jews who encourage ethnic cleansing
The Shepherd Hotel is a contentious site in Jerusalem, a place radical Jews want to develop for themselves only. I reported on this from the ground in July. Now settlers have produced this video that aims to portray Arab terrorism as committed for the sake of pure hatred of Israel and Jews rather than brutal…
Arabs should really just pack up and go
Two articles that display the reality (versus rhetoric) of life in Israel and Palestine. Incidentally, peace is impossible when Israel continues to build illegal structures in East Jerusalem: A plan to build about 150 housing units for Jews in Jerusalem’s Palestinian neighborhoods moved forward in the first half of 2009, according to a report published…
Israel breeds hatred and extremism
The following article is a powerful reminder of Jewish hate in Israel. Published in Haokets by former Haaretz journalist Meron Rapoport, translated from the Hebrew by Keren Rubinstein and distributed by the Middle East News Service, its value speaks for itself: Last Thursday was a heat wave, but along the paved stone path that ascends…
