The divestment campaign against Israel on the UC Berkeley campus continues but the movement is spreading like wildfire. Growing numbers of young Americans won’t simply hope and pray that Barack Obama acts and are instead taking actions into their own hands. Such as this week: The Resolutions Resolution #1: We, the student body of The…

The quick flotilla round-up (aka Israel has lost it)
Zionist groups in the US wish Barack Obama was more supportive and remain disappointed that the American President hasn’t invaded Turkey. Israel’s Deputy UN Ambassador says whatever his government tells him to say. Israel’s President Shimon Peres – the best friend apartheid South Africa could ever have – says that the Israeli soldiers were “humane”.…
Obama administration and Israel sitting in a tree…
Sigh: U.S. Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday defended Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip and its decision to intercept the pro-Palestinian flotilla bringing humanitarian aid to the coastal territory, though he did not go so far as to defend the Israel Navy raid that killed nine people two days earlier. In an interview with…
The Washington way is to embrace its Jewish friend and hold tight
Washington’s aim in life seems to be to protect its little mate, Israel. Sweet. Here’s a quote from a few days ago that can’t be forgotten: “The situation is that they’re so isolated right now that it’s not only that we’re the only ones who will stick up for them,” said an American official. “We’re…
Israel beware: America may not love you to death forever
A warning that most Israelis and Jews in the Diaspora should hear: Mossad chief Meir Dagan is concerned by the change in US positions and influence on Israel. “There are fewer Israeli assets in the US,” he said in the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee meeting on Tuesday. “Israel’s importance was greater when there…
Please ask the hard questions about Israel’s anti-democratic streak
While Israel continues to hold two senior Australian journalists, including reporter Paul McGeough, in detention – wonderful media management there, Zionist state, just jolly, imagine what they’ll say about you when they leave – Deakin University’s Scott Burchill wants us to question the very nature of the current Israeli government: The humiliation of pro-Zionist Biden…
J Street begs for more Obama intervention
I used to be agnostic towards J Street, a liberal Zionist lobby, but its Gaza flotilla statement continues its obsession (and misunderstanding) that only Washington can bring peace to the Middle East when in fact it’s primarily due to America that Israel can act as it does: J Street is deeply shocked and saddened by…
Gaza flotilla massacre is Israel’s Kent State?
In the midst of today’s madness by Israel, it’s welcome to read a sensible analysis by Moshe Yaroni at Realistic Peace (thanks to Sol Salbe for the tip). Ultimately, he writes, this incident has the potential to massively damage Israel’s reputation (what, I hear you say, it still has some?) and reveal further to the…
Tell Israel to ditch its nuke now
A nuclear-free Middle East is a dream for us all. The elephant in the room has always been Israel, protected by the US and Western powers because, well, it’s the Jewish state. Don’t disturb the Jews. This news therefore is a little surprising but hopeful: The United States accepted Arab demands to pressure Israel over…
How Washington wants to woo those lovely Jews back into the fold
The charming tale of how the Obama administration is attempting to romance the American, Jewish community (selling more arms to Israel is certainly helping the argument).
