The times they are a changing. Decades of Zionist arrogance, paying off dictatorships and expanding an illegal occupation is starting to bite. Finally. Violence against Israelis is utterly pointless and counterproductive, and should be condemned, but after years of Israel literally getting away with murder, we shouldn’t be surprised. Welcome to the new Middle East…

Jewish “leaders” happy to accuse BDS backers of anti-Semitism
It’s like Nazi Germany in Australia at the moment, in case you hadn’t heard:
Artwork from Gaza threatens Zionist lobby
This shows the desperation of a Zionist lobby that simply can’t handle the threat of hearing about Palestinians: The Museum of Children’s Art in Oakland (MOCHA) has decided to cancel an exhibit of art by Palestinian children in the Gaza Strip.

Memo to New York Times; you have no idea about the Middle East
