Better Place’s electric cars will be haunted by Palestine
I’ve written extensively about the Israeli electric car company Better Place and its highly questionable connections to working for the occupation in the West Bank. A letter in today’s Sydney Morning Herald denies political favours for the firm (the NSW Premier’s husband is a senior member of the company): Your story ”Keneally rivals shut out…
Radio New Zealand Media Watch interview on Middle East reporting
The issue of media bias in Middle East reporting is something that obsesses the Zionist lobby. Hearing any Palestinians is a problem. This edition of Radio New Zealand’s Media Watch, featuring my interview on the subject, examines the ways in which this area is hotly debated and why more reporters should be based in the…
Please give Israeli murderers equal time in our media
Lesson number one for journalists: talking about Israeli “massacres” will always be “biased” even if Israel commits “massacres”: Ofcom has ruled that a current affairs TV show discussing the ill-fated Gaza flotilla, which was presented by Cherie Blair’s sister Lauren Booth, has broken broadcasting code rules on impartiality. Booth presents a regular programme on Press…
Jews who love the burka
Extreme religious behaviour isn’t just Islamic: At the insistence of the husbands of some burka-wearing women, a leading rabbinical authority is to issue an edict declaring burka wearing a sexual fetish that is as promiscuous as wearing too little. Since then, the habit has spread to five other Israeli towns causing alarm among ultra-orthodox religious…
West Bank “boom” a little shaky

Charming kind of “democracy”: Israel moved Sunday to deport the offspring of hundreds of migrant workers, mostly small children who were born in Israel, speak Hebrew and have never seen their parents’ native countries. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said…
Are more Jews waking up from their slumber?
UK Prospect magazine publishes a short piece by Antony Lerman that encourages the British government to be more critical of Israel because that’s what growing numbers of Jews want. Not subservience to the Zionist state: David Cameron’s description of Gaza as a “prison camp” and his strong condemnation of Israel over the Turkish Gaza flotilla…
“Fortress Israel” is a nice place to be
Increasingly, the Zionist world frames itself as the victim in the Middle East – “nobody understands us” and “if only the West would offer unconditional backing for our enlightened occupation” – and this Jerusalem Post interview with Britain’s departing ambassador to the country reveals a newspaper editor who just wants to be loved. He needs…
Obama still hearts poor little Tel Aviv
There is no clash between Israel and America. Business as usual continues: US House appropriators have pushed funding for Israeli missile defense programs to its highest level ever, with $422.7 million now slated for 2011. Last week, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense added $95.7m. to the original White House funding request for the long-range…
