Here’s how corporate and Zionist smearing works. British Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg is surging in the polls and this makes the old hacks, who can only imagine a two-party reality, nervous. Besides, anybody that dares challenge Israel and the US is clearly beyond the pale. For the record, Clegg is hardly some radical (for…

Democracy in Cuba? Not any time soon
I was interviewed recently by Michael Hershman of Radio Free Europe about the civil situation in Cuba. My main message is that democracy in some form may well come to Cuba one day but at the moment both the insane US embargo and authoritarian Havana regime makes this very unlikely: Civil society in Cuba, long-embattled,…
US Democrat still talks about Israel’s land blooming (like it’s 1948)
If you want to know why Israel is a state religion in the US, look no further than this statement by Democrat Jan Schakowsky on the Jewish state’s 62nd birthday.

More Jews who reject the God-given right of return
Back in February I co-founded an Australian initiative for Jews to reject their right of return to Israel. I’m encouraged that more Jews are coming on-board. America, welcome:

The Obama administration is little different to the previous Bush regime: The government is failing in more and more cases to produce evidence that the men it has imprisoned at Guantanamo belong there, according to ProPublica’s latest look at the lawsuits [1] that some 100 captives have filed in federal court to seek their freedom.…
Google opens the door (slightly) on its filtering process
A welcome sign of transparency by Google – and far better than most other web companies – but there’s a long way to go. For example, what are the cosy deals between Google and governments who simply don’t like certain material and want it removed from YouTube? Google Inc. has set up a new tool…
Blackwater don’t believe they should ever face justice
The death penalty is a futile and heinous act but the idea that former Blackwater guards in Afghanistan won’t be paying a high price for their crimes in Afghanistan fits a sadly typical pattern: the private military firm appears to be above the law:
