Bradley Burston in Haaretz: This is the message of the new self-hating Jew: There is no place for the likes of Gary Rosenblatt in the new Zionism. Nor J Street. Nor the New Israel Fund. Nor Jews who oppose the occupation. Nor Jews who believe that non-Orthodox Judaism is valid and important. A people which…

Real message of Marrickville BDS; Zionists scared of focus on occupation
It’s one day before the New South Wales election. Sydney’s Marrickville council embraced BDS late last year and since then we’ve seen a litany of hysterical attacks by the Zionist lobby, Liberal Party, Labor Party and Murdoch press. The main “issues”? The Greens are anti-Semitic, want Israel destroyed and hate Jews. That’s the kind of…
Aussie Zio bullies want no debate about Palestine here
The Australian Jewish News write these stories like Israel is about to destroyed by the mere mention of Palestinian rights. Insecure much? The leader of the Government in the Senate, Chris Evans, has denied that he refused to condemn an anti-Israel boycott this week. Senator Mitch Fifield accused Evans of failing to speak out against…
Mr Howard wants to learn how to colonise quietly
I’m sure the great former Australian leader will talk to the Zionist state about the best ways to kill Arabs under occupation: Former prime minister John Howard will visit Israel as a guest of the Israeli government. The trip is being treated as a state visit and will include a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin…
Serbia 1999 vs Libya 2011
Leading Australian academic Scott Burchill has some thoughts about Libya: 1. Military intervention like this can make the humanitarian crisis worse, as it did in Serbia in 1999.

Which state won’t allow Palestinians to recognise dispossession?
One more step in Israel’s seemingly inevitable path towards excluding Arabs entirely; making it illegal for Palestinians to get any state funding to mark the 1948 Nakba. Key BDS backer Omar Barghouti writes: One major difference between Israeli apartheid and its South African… sibling… was that the former shrewdly avoided… overt racial discrimination that prevailed in the latter.…

Inside the minds of Itamar colonists
Inka Stafrace is an Australian film-maker concerned with Israel/Palestine. Her first film, Hope in the Sling Shot, was accepted then refused screening on “our” ABC. Brave souls at the national broadcaster. She’s currently working on a new project but in the meantime has shot this beautiful short piece on the recent settler murder in Itamar…
Australia’s Zionist lobby worried BDS may be catching
The ongoing controversy over Sydney’s Marrickville council backing BDS against Israel is getting the political and media establishment and Zionist lobby worried. So what to do? Find a compliant Federal politician who loves Israel to death and will do anything to defend Zionist occupation. Victorian Liberal Mitch Fifield is your man. He’s been on trips…
