Netanyahu and Mubarak see Arabs in a very similar way
What a region of democracy and freedom: Both Obama and Netanyahu understand that Israel’s most important ally in the Middle East is Egypt, and they are doing everything possible to keep it that way. Of all the world’s statesmen, the one closest to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.
Iran has the right to be independent, says Chomsky
Where are the mainstream commentators, hacks and journalists who actually challenge American foreign policy towards Iran? It clearly requires an 80 year old to show sense: Prominent American scholar Noam Chomsky says Washington cannot apply its policy of oppression to Tehran, saying it is not in Iran’s nature to follow orders. Speaking in Beirut after…
Israel worries about its image and not the people of Gaza (that’s a shock)
Zionist spin never rests: Israel will attempt to block the ‘Freedom Flotilla’ of pro-Palestinian demonstrators heading toward Gaza with humanitarian supplies, the forum of seven senior ministers decided on Wednesday. Humanitarian cargo, however, would be unloaded and inspected at Ashdod and sent to Gaza via the United Nations. The flotilla’s organizers seek to disrupt Israel’s…
Advocate ethnic cleansing, be a good Zionist
The charming Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz back in 2002, giving his ideas of how international law should be changed to suit Israel: In light of the willingness of suicide bombers to die in the process of killing Israelis, the traditional methods of deterrence and retaliation seem insufficient. To succeed, Israel must turn the Palestinian…

Gaza is a paradise filled with luxury (if you’re deaf, dumb and blind)
An article of stunning ignorance and stupidity. Ideology run wild. Here’s Tom Gross in Canada’s National Post (a writer who regularly appears in the Murdoch press down under) with a piece headlined, “Fancy restaurants and Olympic-size pools: What the media won’t report about Gaza“: In recent days, the international media, particularly in Europe and the…
Why are so many reporters so keen to use the language of the US military?
Robert Fisk gave the following speech at the Al-Jazeera annual forum in Doha a few days ago: Power and the media are not just about cosy relationships between journalists and political leaders, between editors and presidents. They are not just about the parasitic-osmotic relationship between supposedly honourable reporters and the nexus of power that runs…
Zionist lobby in Australia? What’s that, a soft drink?
Just in case anybody was wondering, here’s a “progressive” Australian politician being asked about the independence of his party’s position towards Israel. Don’t believe a word he says: Federal Liberal MP Malcolm Turnbull, whose Sydney seat of Wentworth includes a large Jewish constituency, yesterday told the Herald intelligence agencies often arrive at views that are…
What was Ban Ki Moon doing while Sri Lanka died?
The rights and responsibilities of the UN is constantly under scrutiny, as it should be. Its role in Sri Lanka last year, during the government massacres against Tamil civilians, is rightly challenged: Louise Arbour, the head of the International Crisis Group, called for an internal review of the U.N.’s conduct during Sri Lanka’s bloody 2009…
