So much of the Western press refuses to publish the most gruesome images of our wars (must protect the kiddies, of course) but it’s encouraging that some are not shying away from our complicity: Photojournalist Khalil Hamra of the Associated Press is the winner of this year’s Robert Capa Gold Medal Award from the Overseas…

While American Jews romance Israel, their dream is dying
Another day, another American politician who wants to sleep with Israel like she’s a fine (amoral) lady: New York Senator Chuck Schumer harshly criticized the Obama Administration’s attempts to exert pressure on Israel today, making him the highest-ranking Democrat to object to Obama’s policies in such blunt terms. Schumer, along with a majority of members…
Watch the Zionist gate-keepers, Nick Clegg
Here’s how corporate and Zionist smearing works. British Liberal Democrats leader Nick Clegg is surging in the polls and this makes the old hacks, who can only imagine a two-party reality, nervous. Besides, anybody that dares challenge Israel and the US is clearly beyond the pale. For the record, Clegg is hardly some radical (for…
South Africa gives Israel a few handy tips about race
A country with a dark past reminds the Jewish state that its behaviour is worthy of a dictatorship: Israel’s Prevention of Infiltration Order 1650 caused the South African government to have “taken note, with the greatest concern,” over a policy a statement called a “violation of an individual’s human rights.” Moreover, the statement said, the…
Throwing Palestinians out of their homes
And the removals begin: De facto government officials refused to accept a Gaza man into the Strip following his deportation from Israel on Thursday, security sources said, heightening tensions around a new military law expanding the definition of an “infiltrator.” The man, 36-year-old Saber Al-Beyari, had been granted a temporary residence permit 15 years earlier…
US Democrat still talks about Israel’s land blooming (like it’s 1948)
If you want to know why Israel is a state religion in the US, look no further than this statement by Democrat Jan Schakowsky on the Jewish state’s 62nd birthday. It’s as if the Arabs simply don’t exist: WASHINGTON,… DC (April 21, 2010) – Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL) made the following statement on the House floor…
Judt on dissing Israel but liking Judaism
A moral Jewish voice, Tony Judt, hs long refused to be bound by Zionist tribalism. Human rights matter more than blindly following Israel. But he’s fiercely proud of being Jewish. I agree: I reject the authority of the rabbis—all of them (and for this I have rabbinical authority on my side). I participate in no…
Not all politicians are in bed with Washington and Tel Aviv
What’s this? A senior Western politician questioning American and Israeli criminality? No wonder the political and media elites don’t like him and the public do. He speaks unspoken truths: Nick Clegg, the party leader dominating the British election campaign, has refused to rule out a push to be foreign secretary in a coalition government. And…
Jews for Goldstone
Encouragingly, a number of Rabbis have publicly come out and backed Richard Goldstone: Dear Judge Goldstone, As rabbis from diverse traditions and locations, we want to extend our warmest mazel tov to you as an elder in our community upon the bar mitzvah of your grandson. Bar and Bat Mitzvah is a call to conscience,…
More Jews who reject the God-given right of return
Back in February I co-founded an Australian initiative for Jews to reject their right of return to Israel. I’m encouraged that more Jews are coming on-board. America, welcome:
