But, sputters Israel defender, we’re a lovely and free nation
How many Zionist lobbyists does it take to defend apartheid? Don’t answer that (hint: one). The ongoing saga of Sydney council Marrackville supporting BDS is slammed by defender of the occupation Anthony Orkin. What’s funny reading this delusion is how it could have been written decades ago. Occupation doesn’t exist. Israel’s growing descent into fascism…
Israeli Left has a beating heart, who knew?
In the face of government-sponsored fascism, Israel’s battered left raises its voice a little: More than 10,000 people marched this evening in protest of recent anti-democratic and racist initiatives by the Israeli government. The march, which started in front of the Likud HQ in King George Street and ended at the Tel Aviv Museum Square,…
Australian Jewish candidate shows true Zionist colours
The Jews. Ah, Zionist Jews. Inner Sydney council Marrickville recently endorsed BDS against Israel. And now this. Here’s a hint for the Zionists in our community. Please say this far more often and more publicly; the general community needs to hear your views about Arabs and how much Israel has deformed our religion over and…
Don’t tell me Israel isn’t a rogue nation
There is only one word for this; shameful: In a bleak but beautiful landscape of undulating stony hills I watched a group of Palestinian schoolchildren take their lessons yesterday in the open air next to a heap of rubble that, until this week, was their classroom. This is the village of Dkaika, about as far…
Chomsky: who says Israeli apartheid can’t last forever?
Noam Chomsky on the internal logic of empire: It’s pretty common now for supporters of the Palestinians and Palestinian leaders themselves to say, “Well, we have to abandon hope in the two-state solution.” As one of the Palestinian leaders said, “We should give Israel the key and let them take over the entire West Bank.…
Ashrawi refuses to let go of two-state equation
I’ve written for years about Palestinian politician Hanan Ashrawi, especially after her awarding in 2003 of the Sydney Peace Prize. The Zionist lobby were apoplectic, showing their usual humanity towards Arabs. Suffice to say, Ashrawi received the award but many people finally realised the kind of Jews who run the Zionist establishment; bullies who fear…
“Bra-gate” brings clarity to Middle East reporting
Al Jazeera’s Sherine Tadros is based in Jerusalem: As female journalists working in this region we constantly find ourselves putting clothes on to please Hamas and taking them off to please the Israelis.
Australian mainstream politician (“left-winger”) shows yet more love for Zionism
What an undignified state of affairs. Here’s Anthony Albanese, Australia’s federal minister for transport and infrastructure and the federal member for Sydney’s Grayndler, writing in today’s Australian about the supposed problems with the Sydney Marrickville council backing BDS. The piece is filled with mistakes, untruths and glaring omissions, such as: – Albanese is married to…
Which Western leader advocated ethnic cleansing?
Guess who said this in 1989: Israel should have taken advantage of the suppression of the demonstrations in China [Tiananmen Square], when the world’s attention was focussed on what was happening in that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the Territories. However, to my regret, they did not support that policy…
