Israel doesn’t believe in Egyptian democracy
My following article appears in today’s edition of Crikey: While the Egyptian masses are uprising in unprecedented ways across the country against a Western-backed dictator, Israel fears the worst. The country’s President Shimon Peres said last week that, “no matter what they say, we owe Mubarak true gratitude for being as steadfast as a rock…
Why Macy Gray should not play Tel Aviv; occupation rules
Max Blumenthal has become one of the leading American Jewish voices against Israeli oppression.
Israelis enjoying themselves shows the importance of BDS
Here’s a tip for the Israelis who made this almost comical anti-BDS video. Featuring people having fun in Israel utterly misses the point. Increasing numbers of people globally are boycotting Israel for this very reason; fun-loving Israelis are loving life while Palestinians are brutalised down the road in the West Bank and Gaza under Israeli…
Better PR won’t help Israel and nor should it
This newly released video, for a campaign called Take Back Zionism, will do nothing for Israel’s image: When will these people learn?

What foreign writers should not be doing in the Zionist state
The kind of moral pressure that is clearly needed: As Israeli citizens who support the boycott, divestment and sanctions call on Israel, we believe that if Ian McEwan accepts the Jerusalem prize next month in Jerusalem (Letters, 26 January), it will make him a collaborator with Israel‘s worst human rights offenders and its “business as…
Fatah, US and Israel all conspire to kill independence
It just gets worse and worse. But really, what can be expected when one side of a conflict is funded, armed and backed by the occupier? One: British intelligence helped draw up a secret plan for a wide-ranging crackdown on the Islamist movement Hamas which became a security blueprint for the Palestinian Authority, leaked documents…
London missed Palestine Papers explosion
Hello delusion, my name is Britain: Foreign Secretary William Hague welcomed Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman at the start of his three-day visit to the UK. They met for an hour at the Foreign Office. Afterwards the Foreign Secretary gave Foreign Minister Lieberman a tour of the Cabinet War Rooms. The Foreign Secretary stressed the…
