The first public event for my new book with Ahmed Moor, After Zionism, took place on 2 August: The Israel/Palestine ‘peace process’ has failed and the occupation has never been more pervasive. The prospect of a two-state solution, a position advocated by all Western countries, is increasingly criticised as being at odds with the realities…

Australian Zionists fear Israeli group Breaking the Silence and its message on IDF immorality
This is an instructive story of how mainstream Australian Jewish groups are petrified that a) the public will hear critical and truthful views about Israeli behaviour in the West Bank and b) a desire to “protect” Jews from even understanding what Israeli occupation means. A feature appeared in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald last…

Australian audiences wake to see and hear Israeli violence against Palestinian children
Strong story by Ruth Pollard in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and Melbourne Age.
London’s Frontline Club discussion about “After Zionism” and the one-state solution
This week I appeared at London’s famous Frontline Club talking about my new book with Ahmed Moor, After Zionism. It was a sell-out with a refreshingly young audience (photos here). The other speakers were Palestinian Ghada Karmi and Israeli Dimi Reider. It was a 90 minute event that signalled the growing mainstream acceptance of only…

“We call it the Jewish Disneyland trip”
The role of the Zionist lobby in taking politicians and journalists to Israel has a long and sordid history. Note my recent investigation into Australian student leaders being romanced. The latest scandal is discussed in the New York Times: The trip was much like any of the hundreds hosted in recent years by a nonprofit…

Recipient of Israel lobby hospitality, from Murdoch press, calls on military strike against Iran
The Zionist establishment must be rubbing its hands with glee. Another media figure, who has enjoyed those glorious trips to Israel to savour some Israeli apartheid, demands the West take action against Iran. Alan Howe, from Melbourne’s Herald Sun, has form. Here’s some of his latest bile: Islamists differ from the rest of us; we…

Demanding an investigation into how Australia followed America into murderous Iraq war
This statement, issued last week in Australia by the Iraq War Inquiry Group, is vital despite already being (unsurprisingly) dismissed by the political elites who have no desire to examine their obsequiousness to Washington: On 16 August 2012, a group of concerned Australians met in Parliament House, Canberra, to call for an independent inquiry into…

Classic corporate journalism on Papua New Guinea; what environmental concerns over mining?
The following piece by Brian Robins in the Sydney Morning Herald Business section is classic mainstream media myopia. After decades of exploitation and environmental disasters due to mining, the possible re-opening of the mine on Bougainville in Papua New Guinea is discussed without once acknowledging the huge vandalism and violence perpetrated by Rio Tinto back…

Australian Greens leadership ignores Israeli car company’s troubling record
Following last week’s open letter and petition to the Australian Greens informing them that a serious party dedicated to human rights wouldn’t work with Israeli-government backed electric car companies in the name of being green, Greens leader Christine Milne has responded: Sadly, this letter is totally unacceptable and completely misses the point. Every major…
