Do you really know how Arabs are treated in Israel proper?
Adalah is an Israeli organisation that focuses on legal rights for the country’s Arab minority. Its new short film, Targeted Citizen, highlights the inherent discrimination against non-Jews in Israel. The only democracy in the Middle East, indeed: Targeted Citizen – English from Adalah on Vimeo.
JPost tells the world that Israel can do whatever the hell it wants
While some Western newspapers are upset that Israel acts with impunity, the Jerusalem Post claims in this editorial that the Jewish state has the right to act as it wants, even illegally, as it’s fighting the “war on terror” that all Western states are fighting. The last bit is true and hypocrisy is the name…
Sydney Morning Herald says Israel is walking in the wilderness
A surprisingly strong editorial in the Sydney Morning Herald that indicates the growing anger towards Israel in the Western elites. A healthy sign: Most of the experts working on Middle East peace think Jewish settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem are hindering progress. Not so Benjamin Netanyahu. ”We must not be trapped by…
A little, almost token effort, to slap Israel over murdering people
Trouble in paradise: Britain has expelled Mossad’s most senior official in London after concluding there was compelling evidence that UK passports used by a hit squad in Dubai were cloned by Israel. The Independent has learnt that the documents were cloned at Ben Gurion airport, and officials then made follow-up calls to check surreptitiously that…

Illegal, Jewish colonies cost more than $17 billion
The sheer insanity of a project deemed illegal by the vast majority of the world. No wonder the Jews don’t want to leave: Israeli settlements in the West Bank encompass 12 million square meters of roads, homes and factories that cost more than $17 billion to build, according to a study by the Macro Center…
Watching Jews walk off a cliff with their eyes open
Bernard Avishai asks some questions that too few Jews in the public sphere are considering: I confess feeling a twinge of pathos when I heard on Reshet Bet radio this morning how Benjamin Netanyahu told his AIPAC audience in Washington that the Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3000 years ago, would continue doing so today,…
Britain hasn’t forgotten the Mossad Dubai hit (and yes, an election is coming)
At least one country seems to be at least giving the impression that illegally using its passports in murder is unacceptable: Britain is to expel an Israeli diplomat over the use of forged UK passports by the killers of a senior Hamas official in January. The foreign secretary, David Miliband, will make a statement to…
