This is pathetic. Once again, Washington is seen to be begging its client state, Israel, to please continue the non-existent settlement “freeze” for another two months. Yes, laughing is the only sane response: Senior White House officials told a group of Jewish lawmakers Wednesday morning that the Obama administration is pushing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin…

Jewish dissent landing in front of countless mainstream readers
This is how the Independent Australian Jewish Voices advertisement looked in the Sydney Morning Herald yesterday, on page five of News Review. Prime position for hundreds of thousands of readers to see a message of Jewish dissent over Israeli crimes in Palestine:
Failing to take responsibility for what Zionism has created
Following the publication of the Independent Australian Jewish Voices advertisement across the Australian media yesterday, Zionist columnist Mark Baker writes in the Australian Jewish News that debate over “Jewish” issues should be wider but he still wants to proscribe certain boundaries. He condemns the lack of “balance” in the IAJV statement, implying somehow that both…
Australian Jews say enough is enough
The following advertisement appears prominently in today’s Sydney Morning Herald and Australian [in a slightly different version] and in this week’s Australian Jewish News, organised by Independent Australian Jewish Voices:
Who really runs US foreign policy? Mad people
Love this logic. Israel is a US client state and now we have confirmation that Washington essentially begged Tel Aviv to continue the illusion of a “settlement freeze” over the moribund “peace talks”. God help the Middle East.
How Wagner still gets a raise in 2010
How anti-Semitism continues to hover over present-day Israel (in a form that isn’t solely focused on faux paranoia with Palestinians): Nearly 130 years after his death, Richard Wagner still provokes a maelstrom of emotions. Katharina Wagner, the German composer’s great-granddaughter, has pulled out of a trip to Israel where she was to announce that the…
Israel continues settlements and the world smiles with thanks
Wow, tell me something I don’t know: A Haaretz investigation reveals that since the building freeze in the West Bank was lifted ten days ago, bulldozers have been working furiously on the construction of 350 new housing units in various settlements. As the end of the freeze approached, the settlements have made great efforts to…
Nothing pretty about Zionist colonists
This is what Israel has created, pure ugliness, racism and hatred. Courtesy of the Israeli tax-payer and allowed to fester for decades. Try undoing this: The Settlement movement warned Tuesday of a harsh reaction and painful “price tag” style retaliation if authorities proceed in the plan to seal a synagogue which was illegally built in…
McGeough shows how few MSM reporters tell the truth
A masterful speech by Sydney Morning Herald journalist Paul McGeough at last weekend’s Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney. He covers the non-existent Middle East “peace process”, Zionist paranoid and bullying, media coverage and the colonial project known as Israel. Such honesty is rare in the MSM. Savour it: Since 1948, a constant in Israeli-Palestinian…
Another day of Jews abusing Arabs under their control
At what point will Zionist humiliation of Palestinians actually register as integral to the state of Israel? A grainy video of a male Israeli soldier bellydancing around a bound and blindfolded female prisoner which went viral overnight, yesterday provoked a furious response from the Palestinians.
