Yes, that may come as a shock to Israel and many Zionists alike but this interesting piece in McClatchy explains why so many of them in Egypt will be involved in the future of their country, as they should be: In the midst of Egypt’s turmoil, the Brotherhood issued statements saying it wouldn’t field a…

Can’t tell the difference between Hitler and Muslims?
Perhaps it’s in the job contract when you want to be a senior Murdoch executive; dislike Muslims and defame them regularly. The Herald Sun’s Alan Howe has form, seemingly finding democracy for Arabs a serious problem because it may affect Zionist occupation. He’s back with a new column headlined: “Picking up where Adolf left off“,…
WSJ: our autocrats are nice thugs
The Middle East has spent decades in social and political “stability” because Washington and Israel have backed brutes to torture and demean the people. Not to worry, writes Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal, ignore all those deeply undemocratic states; the real issue is the Islamic Republic: The regime in Tehran—aptly described by Secretary of State Hillary…
How will the PA help Israel repress Palestinians?
The Palestinian non-violent movement is gathering in strength every day. Yet now we read in the Jerusalem Post – a pro-colonisation paper – that Israel worries the Egyptian uprisings may come to the West Bank. Concerned by the prospect of the Palestinians replicating Egypt-style mass demonstrations with dozens of simultaneous marches and protests in the…
Here’s an idea; don’t sell weapons to any state that kills its own citizens (including Israel)
Today’s UK Observer editorial urges Britain not to sell weapons to autocrats. Good advice but no mention of course of the seemingly never-ending sale of deadly munitions to Israel in its daily war against the Palestinians: When it comes to approving the sale of arms to unpleasant regimes, as the cases of Bahrain and Libya…
Opportunities America should grab in the Middle East (but probably won’t)
Only on Al-Jazeera. The wonderful show Empire – a news service that actually acknowledges what Washington is – discusses the changing role of the US in the Arab world in light of the various uprisings. Honest about Israeli actions and America’s real intentions in the Middle East – loving Israel to death and oil –…
CNN can’t even acknowledge that Israel occupies Palestinian land
Here’s Helen Thomas being asked to explain comments that dared tell Israelis to get off colonised Palestinian land. Note the CNN host, demanding that Jewish suffering is worse than anybody else’s:
IDF and Hizbollah, sitting in a tree…
Israeli writer Etgar Keret has a way with words: Perhaps this is the time to mention that the title of “most moral army in the world” is, to my ears, akin to being lauded as “man with least facial hair in the Hezbollah leadership.” Because, after all, an army’s purpose is not to feed the…
Why Marrickville and the Greens (and a few Labor types) must be supported over BDS backing
How do we know the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against apartheid Israel is working? A member of the Knesset this week said that the state was losing millions of dollars. Meanwhile, Tel Aviv simply believes that by expanding the occupation in the West Bank, the world will love it more. Washington is keen to…
Melting the rational brain, Zionist style
What’s more unedifying than Zionist historians seriously disputing whether 1948 ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians really constituted genocide?
