This will only increase in frequency while the Zionist state continues to occupy Palestinian land. And how many young American Jews look at Israel and like what they see? Less every day: On Friday night [in Washington], a favorite cafe among progressives, Busboys and Poets, gathered letters to Gazans; the next aid flotilla in May…

US protects Israel from sanction over Gaza crimes, proves Wikileaks
This is what matters and why Israel must pay a price for murdering Palestinians: The US worked behind the scenes to help Israel contain United Nations probes into possible war crimes committed during the 2008/’09 Gaza war, Foreign Policy reported today. The online foreign affairs magazine cited exclusive WikiLeaks cables, detailing moves by Washington’s UN…

Marrickville madness over BDS but Palestine rights aren’t forgotten
I was present at last night’s Marrickville council meeting over BDS. It was a circus. Hundreds of people attended. Protesters, Zionists, students, unionists, Palestinians, Arabs, citizens. Countless numbers of people couldn’t fit into the council chambers (luckily I was inside for proceedings). In the end, the BDS didn’t succeed but in many ways this wasn’t…

John Pilger to Sydney’s Marrickville council; stand up for Palestine
John Pilger has sent the following message to Marrickville councillors: “Sometimes, looked at from the outside, Australia is a strange place. In other ‘western democracies’ the ‘debate’ about the enduring injustice dealt the Palestinians and Israel’s… lawlessness has moved forward to the point where the cynical campaign of… anti-Semitism smears is no longer effective — in…

Goldstone report on Gaza stands says everybody except Goldstone
Oh: The three co-authors of the damning United Nations report on the 2008-2009 Gaza war rejected on Thursday an op-ed by the fourth member and chairman Richard Goldstone in which he retracted key conclusions of the report – in particular saying that Israel had not intentionally targeted civilians during the war. In an article in…

How many times does a corporate reporter need to visit Israel to repeat its talking points?
Here we go again. A little game; how many Western “journalists” and politicians continually visit Israel on a propaganda tour? Answer; most of them. In 2009 I wrote about the Sydney Morning Herald’s international editor Peter Hartcher visiting the Zionist state and being more than happy to speak to a very select collection of people,…

“Liberal” Zionist refuses to condemn occupation (and Murdoch provides platform)
It’s a new week and that can only mean more articles in Murdoch’s Australian on Israel/Palestine, BDS and damning anybody who dares speak up for Palestinians. The last weeks have seen a barrage of increasingly hysterical pieces attacking the NSW Greens for endorsing BDS and not uncritically loving Israel without thought or care. Today sees…

How on earth would Zionism thrive without brutish mates?
Wikileaks shows us more: Mohammed Tantawi, the head of Egypt’s ruling generals, was an obstacle to Israeli efforts to stop arms smuggling within the Gaza strip, according to Israeli security forces. The assessment was privately delivered to US diplomats, alongside praise for former intelligence chief Omar Suleiman’s efforts to stop weapons trafficking, according to the…

Was Goldstone so desperate to be loved again by the Zionist community?
A Forward investigation suggests maybe so: When Richard Goldstone returned home to South Africa last May for his grandson’s bar mitzvah — an event that he was almost unable to paticipate in because of protests planned against him — he also attended a separate meeting whose details were kept secret until now. In the wake…
