Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks to CNN and lies by saying his country lifted all the restrictions on Gaza (truth here) and the left is now working with radical Islamists to bring down the Zionist state.

US Jewish mainstream start looking favourably at anti-settlements BDS
Times are changing, Jewish neo-cons are furious and the long overdue conversation inside the American Jewish community is happening; do they back illegal colonies in the West Bank and if not what are they going to do about it?

Who has really thought through the no-fly zone over Libya?
So the West is about to launch another war, this time against Libya. Who exactly is the West backing? Who are the rebels? What do they represent?

Why would we? Wikileaks founder Julian Assange is believed to have been tipped off more than seven months ago about Australian intelligence scrutiny of his whistleblowing activities. Senior government ministers yesterday claimed to have no knowledge of co-operation between Australian intelligence agencies and the United States government concerning Assange after WikiLeaks began publishing thousands of…
US govt says shocking treatment of Bradley Manning is just fine
