Barack Obama’s speech to the UN overnight was farcical in its ineptitude, showing once again how beholden America remains to a vision of apartheid Israel. Some “highlights”: We seek a future where Palestinians live in a sovereign state of their own, with no limit to what they can achieve. There is no question that the…

Handy evidence of how Washington really sees Israel and the Zionist lobby (hint; like a lover who never gives back)
One (via Politico): U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice briefed a dozen top American Jewish leaders on an “all out,” if likely doomed, American effort to derail the Palestinian bid for a vote on statehood at the United Nations, according to three people at the meeting. Rice met with the leaders at her apartment at the Waldorf…
Jewish neo-con joins Palestinian neo-con to expose those pesky Arabs
Yesterday I received the following email from Daniel Pipes: Please join me on a visit to Israel on March 7-15, 2012. Heritage Study Programs, a leading tour company, has asked me to lead a one -time only informative, enjoyable, and inexpensive week. Our focus will be on my special interest – the nearly 20 percent…
Australian liberal Zionists in turmoil over BDS and morality
The issue of boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) continues to dominate the media agenda (with the Israeli occupation largely ignored). Today’s Melbourne Sunday Age has a feature on the issue and once again shows the Zionist establishment echoing anti-Semitic illusions: John Searle, president of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria, takes issue with the language…
Palestine burns, Israel occupies and Zionists look to the sky over UN vote
This week (probably) sees the Palestinian Authority (PA) go to the UN and ask for something resembling statehood. It’s all so vague and so deeply troubling that too many in the Western world have blindly supported it (such as today’s UK Observer). Others, such as Gideon Levy in Haaretz, can’t understand why Barack Obama isn’t…
Zionist lobby says Nazi comparisons wrong and yet rather loves calling enemies anti-Semitic
Where to begin with this confused statement? The Executive Council of Australian Jewry, a key Zionist lobby group who rather loves defending the war crimes of Israel, release this today about BDS, Israel, Nazis, Palestine, Nazis, Jews, Nazis and you guessed it, Nazis. You can almost see feel the tension in the statement, essentially saying,…
9/11 legacy is an Israeli/American catastrophe
My following essay is published today on ABC online: The 9/11 attacks had barely happened and the smouldering wreckage in New York and Washington was still shocking America and the world. Israel already saw an opportunity. Then former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu was asked to express his feelings about the terrorist action in the immediate…
Does Zionist lobby feel comfortable with fascists marching alongside them for Israel?
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…
Jewish “leaders” happy to accuse BDS backers of anti-Semitism
It’s like Nazi Germany in Australia at the moment, in case you hadn’t heard:
Artwork from Gaza threatens Zionist lobby
This shows the desperation of a Zionist lobby that simply can’t handle the threat of hearing about Palestinians: The Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland (MOCHA) has decided to cancel an exhibit of art by Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip. The Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA), which was partnering with MOCHA to present the…
