Leading Australian legal academic Ben Saul wrote back in March that Israel should no longer be a protected species in the international arena. He’s back with an equally strong statement.

What you didn’t know about Hitler and his merry men
Just in case you weren’t sure about Hitler’s real behaviour and hatreds: The American Family Association’s Bryan Fischer states that Adolf Hitler was gay and surrounded himself with gay soldiers because straight soldiers refused to be brutal and savage enough.
Is Canberra happy to help Israel in its “war on terror”?
In this Fairfax story today, the elephant in the room is Israel. Some key questions: has Australia ever provided our passports to Israeli agents? If so, when and for what actions? Australian security agencies use false passports issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs to allow covert operatives to function overseas, intelligence sources have admitted.…
Obama caves towards Israel because of the green dollar
One of the main reasons that many of us are so skeptical of Washington ever seriously pressuring Israel to end its occupation is Jewish money. It’s (mostly) about money.

Speaking in Beirut after…

Zionist spin never rests: Israel will attempt to block the ‘Freedom Flotilla’ of pro-Palestinian demonstrators heading toward Gaza with humanitarian supplies, the forum of seven senior ministers decided on Wednesday. Humanitarian cargo, however, would be unloaded and inspected at Ashdod and sent to Gaza via the United Nations. The flotilla’s organizers seek to disrupt Israel’s…

The charming Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz back in 2002, giving his ideas of how international law should be changed to suit Israel: In light of the willingness of suicide bombers to die in the process of killing Israelis, the traditional methods of deterrence and retaliation seem insufficient. To succeed, Israel must turn the Palestinian…
