Just remind me why Western leaders aren’t complicit in countless war crimes? Israel’s military has been training British troops to fly drones similar to those used in alleged war crimes against Palestinians, Sky News has learned. Britain is buying 30 Watchtower WK450 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which are based on the Israeli Elbit Hermes 450…

It’s like the whites in South Africa wishing the world ‘got’ oppression
You have to laugh (but not too hard). The complete lack of self-awareness amongst Zionists is striking. Do they gather together and draft talking points because so many of their arguments are the same these days. There’s no examination of why Israel is increasingly loathed. Occupation? Killing Palestinians? No, just that “Arabs” and others are…
BDS hits inner Sydney and Greens are leading the charge
A very good piece by Fiona Byrne, the Greens candidate for the electorate of Marrickville in inner Sydney and the current Mayor of Marrickville Council, on ABC’s Unleashed on why BDS is so important and has the support of her constituents. People don’t want to support Israeli apartheid anymore: On December 14 last year, Marrickville…
A direct challenge to the Australian Greens on Israel/Palestine
The following statement is written by Australian Jewish academic Ned Curthoys. I agree with its sentiments: Antony and I had a dream last night in which the important resolution by the NSW Greens in December of last year in support of an economic and cultural boycott of the colonialist Zionist project in Israel/Palestine was quickly…
No, Bibi, Iran only threatens your self-importance
Israel doesn’t really learn very well. After the outgoing Mossad chief said that Iran isn’t really a threat now or in the foreseeable future, here’s Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu saying the exact opposite. He’s best ignored. Better still, mocked: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told foreign journalists Tuesday that the American diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks…
Australian media minds still seduced by Zionist ideology (shame it’s as accurate as Exodus)
This is what passes for “journalism” and commentary over Israel/Palestine in Australia. First, this piece completely ignores the wider context of why people would want BDS against Israel. The best the ALP can do is say that local council has no business being involved? Want to make any comment about whether you agree with Israel’s…
Good morning Israeli fascism
Perhaps this is something to please us. Amnon Danker is former editor of one of Israel’s most popular dailies, Maariv, and he’s written an essay (kindly translated by Jewish blogger Richard Silverstein) on the dire state of Israeli “democracy”. Grim, depressing and blind. What’s the positive? That such people, thoroughly from the mainstream, are suddenly…
We don’t need Israel to feel secure
American Jewish magazine Tikkun has turned 25. It’s covered matters related to the Middle East, from a left liberal perspective, for a long time, gradually becoming more alive to the impossibility of the two-state solution. Well, that’s my take anyway. I was asked to write a short reflection on this important milestone and it was…
American Zionist asks radical colonists to behave
The pain of a hardline Zionist in the face of Israeli occupation. Here’s Jeffrey Goldberg, former IDF prison guard, being a little upset about ongoing settlements in East Jerusalem but hey, what are you going to do about it? Nothing, as usual, just slam those who back real action like BDS: Let me also stipulate,…
Because Israel can really speak credibly about accepting Palestinians
So it’s battle of the belligerent? Neither side here – Israel nor the Palestinian Authority – have much credibility with peace, understanding or recognition. If the Zionist lobby is pleased now, let’s not forget they completely ignored the occupation of the West Bank and Gaza in previous ads of their own. Sigh: The Board of…
