This is the level of “debate” on US TV over Gaza

Former mayor of New York Ed Koch and writer Jeremy Scahill discuss Gaza and the flotilla. It’s a parallel universe on American TV with blind Zionist supporters using the same language over and over again (terrorism, Jew-hatred, terrorism, Hamas killers, terrorism):

Hey US students, ignore the oldies and take a stand on Palestine

The divestment campaign against Israel on the UC Berkeley campus continues but the movement is spreading like wildfire. Growing numbers of young Americans won’t simply hope and pray that Barack Obama acts and are instead taking actions into their own hands. Such as this week: The Resolutions Resolution #1: We, the student body of The…

The Aussie Zionist lobby remembers its job

Israel is facing global criticism, so of course the Australian Jewish News focuses on poor, little Jewish students on campus who may be forced to see photos of dead Palestinians in Gaza. Tough times for the Zionist community: An escalation in tension around Australian university campuses is expected after the Gaza flotilla raid this week.…

With heads in the sand and nowhere to go but down

After the Gaza flotilla massacre, at least some of the American mainstream are actually reporting on the reality in Gaza itself. People may not be starving there but they’re living without dignity and humanity. A breeding ground for terrorism. There is certainly some Zionist self-criticism (here and here) that clearly outlines the utterly futile Gaza…

Then whenever a nutcase marched into a shopping mall in somewhere like Wisconsin and gunned down a selection of passers-by, they could be on hand to tell the world’s press “The…

The quick flotilla round-up (aka Israel has lost it)

Zionist groups in the US wish Barack Obama was more supportive and remain disappointed that the American President hasn’t invaded Turkey. Israel’s Deputy UN Ambassador says whatever his government tells him to say. Israel’s President Shimon Peres – the best friend apartheid South Africa could ever have – says that the Israeli soldiers were “humane”.…

Colombo cannot erase what happened to the Tamils

One year after the end of official hostilities in Sri Lanka still sees a country in turmoil, proudly anti-Tamil and unwilling to investigate the war crimes committed in the last months of the war. Chair of the UK-based Sri Lanka Campaign Advisory Council (I sit on the board), Edward Mortimer, says that the world can…

Atwood wants to be on the right side of history in Palestine

Many pro-Palestinian activists criticised author Margaret Atwood in May for accepting a very large literary prize in Israel. She clearly came under a great deal of pressure and flak for doing so and perhaps this essay in Haaretz is a way to show she really cares about what happens to Palestinians under Zionist rule: …The…
