Take news from the Middle East in the last 24 hours. Despairing, infuriating and tragic. This: The Palestinians pulled out of a new round of indirect peace talks last night, even before they had begun, as a protest at Israel‘s decision to announce approval for hundreds of new homes in a Jewish settlement in East…

How many in the West know that Jews are allowed to act as they want in the West Bank?
Haaretz reporter Avi Issacharoff writes, in an article headlined, “Israel policy allows settlers to rampage unchecked“, that the West Bank is lawless and mad: In general, the decision-making body in Israel regarding building over the Green Line has become deliberately destructive, and adopted a policy of “ya’ani” (Arabic slang for something which only gives an…
When Jews sing sweet songs to an Arab killer
Jewish extremism in Israel is often dismissed as the rantings of a minority. It is true, only a small percentage of the Israeli population truly hates Arabs, but they receive massive political support and sing songs of praise to mass murderer Baruch Goldstein. Andrew Sullivan is right: Maybe AIPAC will wake up one of these…
Another handy reminder of who runs the Middle East conflict
US Vice President Joe Biden’s trip to Israel has been, in the words of the Daily Beast, “disastrous“: Just as Biden arrived in Israel, the Interior Ministry announced the construction of 1,600 new housing units for Jewish residents in East Jerusalem, a move many, including many in the Obama administration, have interpreted as a deliberate…
Dershowitz urges, “Middle East Apartheid Education Week”
The growing global effectiveness of Israel Apartheid Week is pleasing. Suffice to say, this doesn’t please Harvard Law Professor Alan Dershowitz: Every year at about this time, radical Islamic students—aided by radical anti-Israel professors—hold an event they call “Israel Apartheid Week.” During this week, they try to persuade students on campuses around the world to…
This is what Palestinian resistance looks like today
Jamal Juma’ is the coordinator of the Palestinian grass-roots Anti-Apartheid Wall Campaign and was released from an Israeli prison on January 12. He writes for the Christian Science Monitor: The Palestinian elected leadership is weak. And even with Vice President Joe Biden’s visit to Israel, the West Bank and Jordan this week, the renewed Middle…
The Corrie family speaks for justice
The Israeli killing of American peace activist Rachel Corrie remains unresolved. Her parents speak to Al-Jazeera English. They are the perfect example of moderation and strength:
Israel warmly embraces Christian Zionists who want them converted
Christians United for Israel are a fundamentalist organisation that is led by a man, John Hagee, who once said that God sent Hitler to… force Jews to Israel. Very classy. It therefore makes sense that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed their recent Jerusalem conference. A mutual loathing of Arabs joins them together: Welcome to Jerusalem,…
The OECD may once again be ignoring Israel’s elephant in the ro
Who said brutally occupying another people is a barrier to global acceptance? An exclusive club of the world’s most developed countries is poised to admit Israel as a member even though, a confidential internal document indicates, doing so will amount to endorsing Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian and Syrian territories. Israel has been told that…
Murdoch man proves that a few trips to Israel will help him back killing in Dubai
The list of Australian corporate flaks backing Israel’s hit in Dubai is growing. Israel is a state religion. Must support. Must back. Must love. Must not question. Take Murdoch hack Alan Howe (a man with a long hatred of Arabs), here in Melbourne’s Herald Sun wildly supporting Israeli state terrorism and encouraging more death in…
