While some Western newspapers are upset that Israel acts with impunity, the Jerusalem Post claims in this editorial that the Jewish state has the right to act as it wants, even illegally, as it’s fighting the “war on terror” that all Western states are fighting. The last bit is true and hypocrisy is the name…

A little, almost token effort, to slap Israel over murdering people
Trouble in paradise: Britain has expelled Mossad’s most senior official in London after concluding there was compelling evidence that UK passports used by a hit squad in Dubai were cloned by Israel. The Independent has learnt that the documents were cloned at Ben Gurion airport, and officials then made follow-up calls to check surreptitiously that…
Britain hasn’t forgotten the Mossad Dubai hit (and yes, an election is coming)
At least one country seems to be at least giving the impression that illegally using its passports in murder is unacceptable: Britain is to expel an Israeli diplomat over the use of forged UK passports by the killers of a senior Hamas official in January. The foreign secretary, David Miliband, will make a statement to…
The Israel lobby strikes back
Speaking of “journalists” who love Israel like an old wine; juicy if you know where to lick but corrupt to the core. Over to you, Murdoch columnist Greg Sheridan: The Australia-Israel relationship, normally a byword for geostrategic stability and enduring human warmth, has had some stormy passages lately. The use of Australian passports by the…
Adhere to the rule of law, says Labor MP to Israel and her backers
Senior Australian unionist Paul Howes wrote recently that Israel’s murder of a Hamas operative in Dubai was a wonderful thing to celebrate. Retiring Labor MP Julia Irwin disagrees and said the following in Federal Parliament on 15 March: Mrs IRWIN (Fowler) (9.18 pm)—I rise tonight to comment on an article in the Sunday Telegraph on…
Time for the media to ask some deeper questions about Israel/American relations (ie. it’s in pretty good shape)
Everybody calm down. Hillary Clinton has reaffirmed Washington’s “absolute commitment to Israel’s security”. Jerusalem is facing growing Palestinian protests, especially since Hamas called for a “day of rage”. Bradley Burston writes in Haaretz a completely over the top comment: Washington is beginning to relate to the Netanyahu government as if it were Hamas. Please. Israel…
Australian mainstream newspaper dares to say a few things about East Jerusalem
For the Sydney Morning Herald, yesterday’s editorial is pretty strong. A sign, perhaps, that the Zionist lobby isn’t always running the agenda in the corporate media: Stephen Smith, the Foreign Minister, is right to be outraged by Israel’s announcement last week of plans for 1600 houses for Jewish settlers in East Jerusalem. Venturing beyond Australia’s…
The Left is a source of all evil (says extreme rightist)
Jerusalem Post writer Caroline Glick – there’s nothing like a good bombing to get her out of the bed in the morning – increases her rhetoric to the point of, well, you decide: Israel is not the only target of the Red-Green alliance. Its operations span the globe. Sometimes, as in the case of the…
Israel’s Dubai hit continues the country’s moral decline
My following article is published on the Huffington Post: Israel is facing a revolt from the Jewish Diaspora. “Intifada” is an Arabic word meaning “shaking off”, as one would violently discard a scorpion. Israel is managing its own “intifada” from within. I write as a 36-year-old Australian Jew who has recently signed, with 37 Australian…
Murdoch man proves that a few trips to Israel will help him back killing in Dubai
The list of Australian corporate flaks backing Israel’s hit in Dubai is growing. Israel is a state religion. Must support. Must back. Must love. Must not question. Take Murdoch hack Alan Howe (a man with a long hatred of Arabs), here in Melbourne’s Herald Sun wildly supporting Israeli state terrorism and encouraging more death in…
