The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg is a little worried that his beloved Jewish state has an apartheid problem: I think we’re only a few years away, at most, from a total South-Africanization of this issue. And if Israelis believe that the vast majority of American Jews — their most important supporters in the entire world —…

When the dark PR arts are designed for only one thing; denial and money
If you think PR’s image couldn’t sink any lower, you’d be wrong. Reading the stunning series this week published by the London Independent and the The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reveals a litany of reasons the industry is in desperate need of sunlight. And how many despotic regimes (and some supposedly friendly ones, such as…
Rick Perry, Christian Zionism on crack over Israel
Some would Perry is simply being honest. Successive US Presidents have condemned colonies in the West Bank and done nothing but enable them:
Fresh air emerges within toxic US debate over Israel/Palestine
Cracks, very small cracks, are starting to appear in the age-old blindness towards Israeli apartheid. Why? Because a mute person knows that indefinite Zionist occupation of Palestinian land is bad for Palestinians, awful for Israelis and madness for America and the world (via Politico): Two of the Democratic Party’s core institutions are challenging a bipartisan…
This is the puerile level of Zionists pushing for two-state “solution”
The One Voice campaign is left to using a washed up Seinfeld character to support a Zionist state:
Australia and Israeli share the values of embracing occupation and racism?
The American Jewish establishment cares little about Palestinians and prefers to talk about easy access to Zionist paradise. Some, like Peter Beinart, recognise the crisis and the effect of a decades-old Israeli occupation. Rather bad for the Zionist brand. But not to worry, Australia’s Prime Minister sails on regardless, giving the same talking points that…
When “liberal” Barbra Streisand can’t get enough of the IDF
Fund-raising for an occupying army is simply business as usual in Hollywood:
Palestine burns while Australian politicians fiddle in darkened rooms
“Moderate Greens” must be so pleased that Murdoch’s Australian is praising their stance to not fully embrace BDS against Israel: Moderate Greens in NSW have welcomed the party’s decision to ditch its official support for the “destructive” international campaign to isolate Israel. A meeting of the NSW Greens state council on Sunday resolved to rescind…
Memo to NSW Greens; Palestine needs your full support now
After a year of unprecedented Zionist assaults on democracy in Palestine and Israel itself, the NSW Greens capitulate to intense Murdoch media pressure and internal conservatism to back down from fully supporting BDS. News flash to the party: apartheid in Palestine isn’t going anywhere and avoiding a key human rights issue only makes you look…
Israeli journalism is (mostly) about repeating government talking points on “terror”
As ever, Gideon Levy in Haaretz nails the counter-narrative in the Zionist state: Israeli journalism censors itself to the point of harm. Part of it has become a means of entertainment while inciting our more base passions. Part of it now appeals to emotions, not reason, and deals with trivial rather than important issues, taking…
