This is an explosive story that appears to have received no coverage in Australia. So many questions need to be asked.

“Miral” too hot for sensitive Jewish eyes?
I recently saw the wonderful film Miral about the Palestinian story from 1948. Made by Jewish film-maker Julian Schnabel, it was supposed to be released in the US. But, surprise surprise, there are some issues (via Mondoweiss): Here’s what Schnabel said [in New York this week], to explain his appearance at this event, a reading…
How many reporters are keeping secrets with secret meetings in Israel?
There is currently in Israel the largest Australian delegation ever to visit the Zionist state. Leading politicians and journalists are enjoying the pleasures of Israeli hospitality. The fact that so many people are visiting while Israel faces intense criticism over its racist policies proves the blindness of the Western elites when it comes to the…
Guess which state wants to copy dictatorships?

Throwing out Arabs to make way for Jews
Ethnic cleansing Zionist and fundamentalist Christian style:
Mastercard, Visa and PayPal rather like illegal Zionist colonies
The huffing and puffing over alleged illegality by Wikileaks (nothing proven by a mile) compares badly to actual behaviour by many corporates in the Middle East. An important Crikey investigation: Visa, Mastercard and PayPal all enable donations to be made to US-registered groups funding illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank in defiance of international…
Israel’s policy of separation is backed by Western powers
Akiva Eldar writes in Haaretz what many people have known for years; Israel’s goal is to maintain the occupation forever: The testimonies of 101 discharged soldiers who served in the West Bank over past decade and collected their comments in a book published by Breaking the Silence show that even the status quo Clinton referred…
Israel/Palestine needs a South African style truth and reconciliation commission
What would Israel/Palestine look like in a one-state solution? An exclusive new article on the Independent Australian Jewish Voices website by John Docker examines some possibilities: Recent South African history may also give us a basis for new ideas and visions. In Sydney this year I heard Albie Sachs speak about human rights and the…
