I was interviewed by ABC AM Radio this morning (which has already generated some hate mail, so thank you Australian Jewry): ELIZABETH JACKSON: The revelation this week by the ABC’s Foreign Correspondent program that Melbourne man Ben Zygier was Israel’s “prisoner X” have thrown light on some of the most secretive workings of the Jewish…

The normalisation of Israeli criminality
The latest developments in the case of Prisoner X continues to reverberate around the world (though as many Palestinians are rightly say, where’s the equal attention on the countless Palestinians held for years illegally in Israel’s administrative detention system?)

Reuters TV on prisoner x, Mossad spies and Israeli intelligence
