Maybe one day, when thousands more Palestinians have been murdered by Israel, the Zionist Diaspora will realise what they’ve backed for decades. And people will not forget: The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem has released video footage showing an unarmed Palestinian protester in Gaza being shot by an Israeli soldier on Wednesday.

The growing movement for Palestine at US universities
A Democracy Now! video on the latest developments at UC Berkeley in the US on the issue of boycott, divestment and sanctions against multinationals doing business in Palestine. Soon successes will flourish across America:
Radio New Zealand interview on Israel and blogging
I was interviewed this weekend on Radio New Zealand National Saturday Morning with Kim Hill on issues of Israel, Zionism, Jewish identity, blogging and internet censorship. It was a long interview (over 40 minutes) and offered a rare opportunity to explore key areas of Zionist responsibility for occupation in Palestine and why blogging and journalism…
Mearsheimer knows that a bi-national state is on its way
John Mearsheimer, co-author of The Israel Lobby, a former believer of the two-state solution in the Middle East, gave a speech last week at Washington DC’s Palestine Centre. It was powerful, moving and transformative. When conservatives such as this start recognising reality, things are changing: [T]there is going to be a Greater Israel between the…
Guardian says that Obama may lightly tap Israel on the arm
Read with caution but if true a welcome development (though, how much longer must we accept the role of the Palestinian Authority as representing all Palestinians? They do not:) The US has given private assurances to encourage the Palestinians to join indirect Middle East peace talks, including an offer to consider allowing UN security council…

In response, the predictably hysterical Philip Mendes (a Jewish social work academic from Melbourne) has responded under the headline, “Radical Australian Jews advocating for Israeli national suicide“: Last month a small group of Australian Jews signed…
At least some Israelis are acknowleding that two-states is long gone
Meron Benvenisti, former deputy mayor of Jerusalem, tells the Guardian that the two-state solution should be dead and buried: Israel’s domination, he says, is now complete, while the Palestinians are fragmented into five enclaves – inside Israel, in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, and the diaspora. In this situation, the concept of…
The charming gassing of fellow Arabs by Egypt
Mubarak’s Egypt, doing the dirty work of Israel and America and laughing all the way to the corrupt bank. A “moderate” Arab regime, in the words of policy makers and Zionists: Egyptian forces pumped gas into a cross-border tunnel used to smuggle goods into the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, killing four Palestinians, Hamas officials said.…
Hizbollah rearms and accused of terrorism and Israel just continually rearms
Remind me who is the neighbourhood bully in the Middle East? It certainly isn’t Hizbollah or Lebanon: Hezbollah on Wednesday shot back at US charges it was stockpiling sophisticated weapons, accusing Washington of destabilising the Middle East and vowing to continue to build its artillery. “The resistance has the right to use all legitimate means…
Think of them and be scared; how Palestinian kids view colonists
A new, short film by MentalRev productions – their Gaza film is currently in production – is about Palestinian children in the rural village of at-Tuwani speaking about their encounters with violent Israeli settlers in the South Hebron Hills:
