The Israeli elite knows apartheid is biting

Israel’s Defence Minister Ehud Barak on Sunday: Without an agreement we will be subject to international isolation and we will suffer a fate similar to that of Belfast or Bosnia, or a gradual transition from a paradigm of two states for two peoples to one of one state for two peoples. Some people will try…

Why can’t Israel just talk about its wonderful environmental developments?

These days, any attempt by the Zionist community to present “vibrant, democratic Israel” should be met like this: Local activists protested the so-called “Israeli Innovation Weekend” (IIW) at the Museum of Science in Boston through multiple, disparate actions on Sunday. IIW’s sponsors, including the Consulate General of Israel to New England, were left flummoxed by…

The crime of killing Rachel Corrie needs to be resolved

An instructive example of how the Zionist state attempts to shield its crimes from the world and how long it takes any form of (possible) justice to emerge: Seven years after the American activist Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer in Gaza, evidence has emerged which appears to implicate Israel’s Gaza commander…

Bring Auschwitz into the Israel debate and take a back seat

Israeli media rules: smear Goldstone, love the state and deny responsibility

I have always sharply opposed various efforts to impose academic and cultural sanctions on Israel.…

Does the JPost want Israel to be utterly alone in the world?

A typically arrogant Jerusalem Post editorial. Israel couldn’t survive without Diaspora support so God forbid some of us are critical about the state’s policies. Let them try and live for one day without Uncle Sam (and Western Jews) by their side: A group of European Jews, apparently working under the premise that Israel’s leaders lack…

The Jewish state may soon end sending public officials into the firing line

A few Israelis are challenged in the West and the state considers ending public talks? Perhaps isolation of Zionism is having more of an effect than we think: Foreign Ministry officials are considering stopping the lectures by senior figures around the world, particularly in Britain.…  The reason: The outspoken verbal attacks by students and pro-Palestinian…
