Jewish lobby J Street, severely upsetting the Zionist establishment, is having its first annual conference at the end of October in Washington DC. I’ll be attending and working on a number of projects there. According to the Forward, “it is still struggling to prove its pro-Israel credentials” (whatever that means.) Too critical of Israeli government…

Gaza war is not forgotten in Turkey
Slowly but surely, Israel is starting to realise where it matters (in the back pocket) that its criminality will come at a steep price. Who truly wants to normalise relations with a state that brutalises another people (over and over again)? Tense relations between Israel and Turkey are weighing on local companies as exports between…
Wiping Persia from the map
John Bolton, neo-conservative, former George W. Bush official and Fox News contributor: So we’re at a very unhappy point — a very unhappy point — where unless Israel is prepared to use nuclear weapons against Iran’s program , Iran will have nuclear weapons in the very near future.
How many Arabs need to be killed before action is taken?
The fall-out from the UN’s Goldstone report over Gaza is that Israel is once again seen as existing above the law: “That President Obama is receiving the Noble Peace prize after his failure to speak out during the Gaza war, and after his administration’s protection of a state that has committed war crimes, is an…
Some Jews missing the art of bombing foreigners
Australia’s leading Zionist lobby loves peace but bombing Iran may be too tempting to resist: People with their heads in the sand will be surprised and duly outraged if Israelis realise, once again, that no one will protect them but themselves, and decide to act. I don’t want another Middle Eastern war. Nor does Israel.…
Just don’t rely on Washington to solve your Zionist/Arab question

In fact, it’s moving backwards: When Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and Mitchell report to the White House next week on the administration’s goal of restarting the peace talks, they will be describing a situation that has arguably regressed, particularly in…
Rumblings of Palestinian disquiet has many targets
Will Fatah – as much as Israel – be the target of the next intifada?
Zionist morality runs into some troubles with the truth
Israel is shocked, just shocked, that a Turkish TV program would depict Israeli troops as killers (“but we’re the most moral army in the world”). If you behave like thugs, you’ll be treated as such. Gazan farmers are still paying the price for this brutality: Thousands of Gazan farmers may be unable to replant their…
The Holocaust did not have to lead to Israeli oppression
A cautionary tale about the recently deceased Jewish, Warsaw Ghetto uprising leader Marek Edelman: Edelman’s life was the stuff of fiction. From fighting in the Ghetto Uprising, escaping via the sewers to the ”˜Aryan’ side of Warsaw, a founder of Solidarity in Poland who was briefly imprisoned by the Stalinists. Edelman was the living proof…
Denying the reality of Hamas is simply denying reality
A large, public debate held this week at Melbourne Monash’s University: That the West should engage with Hamas: a solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict?
