What are we doing to babies in Gaza?

An email from an employee of the Tuesday’s Child NGO: According to the Bethlehem maternity hospital, premature neonatal mortality over 26 weeks, 37 percent in Gaza in comparison to 1.4 percent in Bethlehem. Shocking, a genocide in itself.

Dubai is no longer a play-thing of Israel

Maher Mughrabi writes in the Age that the Jewish state seriously mis-calcuated over its Dubai hit: If it was Israel that assassinated the Hamas man, then perhaps it counted on Dubai’s long-standing desire to avoid controversy. So what has changed in the past year? The answer may be that Brand Dubai itself is under intense…

Dershowitz backs extra-judicial murder (and torture)

Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz has a love affair with Israel that has no bounds. It’s therefore unsurprising that he supports Israel’s recent assassination in Dubai: The complaints leveled against Israel by European countries and Australia, regarding the alleged misuse of passports by the Mossad in the assassination of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, ring hollow and smack…

Building a home in Gaza is no easy task

The latest edition of Gaza Gateway: Building the “perfect home” is a dream shared by many people, especially if you are one of the tenants of the 3,500 homes that were destroyed or of the 56,000 homes that were damaged in last year’s military operation in the Gaza Strip.

The following appears in this week’s Green Left Weekly: A petition signed by 35 distinguished Australian Jews rejecting the automatic right of Jews from anywhere in the world to settle in Israel is printed below.

Pro-Israel lobbyists had previously backed Turkey on the issue but changed…

Being associated with Israel is increasingly toxic

Israel is starting to realise that many people will remain silent no more: Israel’s Ambassador to Ireland, Zion Evrony, thought he was dropping in to the small town of Carrickmacross for a cup of tea and a chat with the mayor. Instead, he walked into a massive political row in which Sinn Féin councillors even…

Who would be trying to destabilise Gaza (Fatah, Israel or the US?)

This is published in the Jerusalem Post, so accuracy cannot be guaranteed, but interesting news: Ahmed Ja’abri, commander of Hamas’ armed wing, Izaddin al-Kassam, recently sent an urgent letter to Hamas leader in Damascus Khaled Masha’al, warning that the situation in the Gaza Strip was “deteriorating,” and that Hamas has started losing control over the…

Australia dares not offend Israel even when crimes are clear

The latest on the Australia/Israel Mossad scandal: The Australian government is far from satisfied with the response so far from Israel on the alleged use of Australian passports by a Mossad death squad. In an interview with the Herald, a restrained Kevin Rudd said no more information had been forthcoming since Australia first protested last…
