1) An aid worker friend of mine, who regularly enters Gaza via Israel’s Eretz Crossing, was sent a questionnaire, a “satisfaction survey” from Israel, asking about its work: A satisfaction survey has been created to help refine the role and services provided for our clientele. This survey will assess the types of services provided and…

Here’s the Australian Parliament’s leading Zionist advocate
Melbourne Labor MP Michael Danby said the following in parliament this week: Mr DANBY (Melbourne Ports) (13:49):… On Monday and Tuesday I had leave for Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. I thank the whips and the parliament. For 120,000 Australians of similar background, even the most secular families, this is like Christmas, a time…
“After Zionism” featured at University of Sydney’s Sydney Ideas
The first public event for my new book with Ahmed Moor, After Zionism, took place on 2 August: The Israel/Palestine ‘peace process’ has failed and the occupation has never been more pervasive. The prospect of a two-state solution, a position advocated by all Western countries, is increasingly criticised as being at odds with the realities…
Australian Zionists fear Israeli group Breaking the Silence and its message on IDF immorality
This is an instructive story of how mainstream Australian Jewish groups are petrified that a) the public will hear critical and truthful views about Israeli behaviour in the West Bank and b) a desire to “protect” Jews from even understanding what Israeli occupation means. A feature appeared in The Age and Sydney Morning Herald last…
Yes, I’m a politician and would enjoy being romanced in Israel on the lobby’s tab

This is an issue I’ve been investigating for years, including in my first book, My Israel Question (soon to be released in an updated edition in Arabic and Indonesian). Politico adds yet more…
London’s Frontline Club discussion about “After Zionism” and the one-state solution
This week I appeared at London’s famous Frontline Club talking about my new book with Ahmed Moor, After Zionism. It was a sell-out with a refreshingly young audience (photos here). The other speakers were Palestinian Ghada Karmi and Israeli Dimi Reider. It was a 90 minute event that signalled the growing mainstream acceptance of only…
“We call it the Jewish Disneyland trip”
The role of the Zionist lobby in taking politicians and journalists to Israel has a long and sordid history. Note my recent investigation into Australian student leaders being romanced. The latest scandal is discussed in the New York Times: The trip was much like any of the hundreds hosted in recent years by a nonprofit…
The Israel lobby gets American politicians to disrobe
Really (via Politico): The FBI probed a late-night swim in the Sea of Galilee that involved drinking, numerous GOP freshmen lawmakers, top leadership staff — and one nude member of Congress, according to more than a dozen sources, including eyewitnesses. During a fact-finding congressional trip to the… Holy Land… last summer, Rep.… Kevin Yoder… (R-Kan.) took off his clothes…
Recipient of Israel lobby hospitality, from Murdoch press, calls on military strike against Iran
The Zionist establishment must be rubbing its hands with glee. Another media figure, who has enjoyed those glorious trips to Israel to savour some Israeli apartheid, demands the West take action against Iran. Alan Howe, from Melbourne’s Herald Sun, has form. Here’s some of his latest bile: Islamists differ from the rest of us; we…
