It would seem so, as I’ve read no condemnation by the lobby of the far-right supporting Max Brenner at a protest in Sydney and Melbourne over the weekend. Being “pro-Israel” clearly trumps decency, strategic depth or human rights: Supporters of the Max Brenner chocolate chain have rallied outside a Newtown store as activists protested against…

Voices rising against Serco’s power
Very few journalists in the corporate press seem interested in the ever-expanding role of unaccountable Serco, the British multinational.

When “liberal Zionists” slam BDS, you know moral compass is lost

Brian Michael Jenkins, senior adviser to the president at Rand Corporation, recently told National Defence that “the war on terrorism cost $3.8 trillion in…
