Bogus Jewish morality

Rabbi Levi Brackman tells Jewish critics of the Gaza operation that, “making a decision not to mount a defense against lethal terrorists based on a feeling of compassion is not only immoral and un-Jewish it is also idiotic and deeply irresponsible.” In other words, Jews should simply accept the God-given decisions of the Israeli state,…

Yes, this is what Israel truly is

A European diplomat in Israel to a journalist with Haaretz: Your action is brutal and you don’t realize how much damage this is causing you in the world. This is not only short term. It’s damage for years. Is this the Israel you want to be?

Let’s take the people and resources

Yet another agenda of Israel’s war in Gaza? The military invasion of the Gaza Strip by Israeli Forces bears a direct relation to the control and ownership of strategic offshore gas reserves. This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline.

And Israel gains what from this?

British MPs yesterday lined up to give their strongest condemnation yet of Israel’s actions in Gaza, branding Ehud Olmert’s government “mass murderers” and calling for the country to face sanctions. David Miliband, the Foreign Secretary, faced cross-party demands for Israel’s ambassador to be expelled from London and for Britain to recall its representative from Tel…

Kill them all and soon

Shameful excuses to bomb schools and hospitals. By this logic, virtually all of Israel is a legitimate target because it houses Zionists: Hamas uses Gaza’s Shifa Hospital as a meeting place and even distributed salaries to their operatives there over the weekend, Public Security Minister and former Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) head Avi Dichter…

Right-wing Israeli politician Avigdor Lieberman proposed a “solution” to the war in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday saying, “Israel won’t be secure so long as Hamas is in power, and therefore we need to come to a decision that…

Moral Jews stand up

The following letter appeared in the London Guardian on January 10: We the undersigned are all of Jewish origin. When we see the dead and bloodied bodies of young children, the cutting off of water, electricity and food, we are reminded of the siege of the Warsaw Ghetto. When Dov Weisglass, an adviser to the…

Not all Jews agree with Israel’s Gaza action

My following article is published in today’s Brisbane Courier Mail: When one of the most powerful militaries in the world unleashes on the most densely populated area in the world, collateral carnage is inevitable. The… weeks into Israel’s onslaught against the Palestinians in Gaza, Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni told Newsweek the Jewish state was “not going…

Jewish racism for all to see

American film-maker Max Blumenthal attends a “pro-Israel” rally in New York to support the war against Gaza: No one I spoke to could seem to find any circumstance in which they would begin to question Israel’s war. No number of civilian deaths, no displays of extreme suffering –nothing could deter their enthusiasm for attacking one…
