Oh, the irony, Here’s Jewish news service JTA publishing a piece demanding that private companies divest from Iran because it’s a threat to world peace blah blah blah. Of course, if anybody dares suggest that a company making money from the Israeli occupation of Palestine should be boycotted they’re labeled extremists and mad. Iran is…

Jews who don’t marry Jews
How to be a good Jew: Rumored wedding bells for Bar Refaeli and Leonardo DiCaprio may ring true or false, but… these are already being muffled… by controversy. “It is not by chance that you were born Jewish,” wrote Baruch Marzel in a letter… he sent Refaeli through her mother (and that… promptly appeared in the press).… “Your grandmother…
The so-called Arab street is growing impatient with Israel
An editorial in the Arab News that shows the growing anger in the Middle East towards Israel (despite Jerusalem Post writer Caroline Glick arguing that in fact the “moderate”, authoritarian and US-backed Arab states want Israel to take on Iran and win): The Israeli Army’s plan to deport tens of thousands of Palestinians from the…
News flash, Jews: another Holocaust isn’t coming
A good editorial in Haaretz: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used the official ceremony for Holocaust Remembrance Day on Sunday to warn about the Iranian threat. “The world gradually accepts Iran’s statements of destruction against Israel and we still do not see the necessary international determination to stop Iran from arming,” Netanyahu said, calling on “all…
We’re Jewish and we would like to ban this
Is the Zionist Diaspora somehow pre-programmed to try and censor anything that mildly challenges Israeli policies? The latest madness in Canada.

Remind us why America can solve the Middle East crisis, again?
Daniel Pipes reminds us that Washington’s supposed attempts at peace are really counter-productive: ….The “peace process” is in actuality a “war process.” Diplomatic negotiations through the 1990s led to a parade of Israeli retreats that had the perverse effect of turning the middling-bad situation of 1993 into the awful one of 2000. Painful Israeli concessions,…
ABC Radio National documentary about the Gaza Freedom March and Jewish identity
Last December I attended the Gaza Freedom March in Cairo to highlight the plight of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. For the last months I’ve worked on a radio documentary feature for ABC Radio National’s 360 program, the country’s finest space for long-form radio work. Alongside co-producer Sharon Davis and sound engineer Timothy Nicastri, we…
Come live under military occupation in Palestine, you won’t be alone
This is priceless. A “journalist” from the Jerusalem Post tells Al-Jazeera English that the situation in the West Bank is so good economically, countless Palestinians from across the world are dying to move in. Seriously:
Realising what the occupation has done to Israel’s heart and soul
Here’s famed Israeli leftist and novelist David Grossman speaking at a rally in Sheikh Jarrah in Jerusalem on Friday. Whatever the criticisms directed at the organised Left in Israel – and there are many – Grossman’s words here are poignant and powerful: I think that we are all beginning to grasp — even those who…
