The Israeli leader really needs to find a better dictionary (and understanding): Netanyahu appears to be suffering from confusion and paranoia. He is convinced that the media are after him, that his aides are leaking information against him and that the American administration wants him out of office. Two months after his visit to Washington,…

God really only speaks to settlers
It’s tiresome that Zionists, such as this one writing in Israel’s biggest paper, still use The Book to justify an illegal occupation: Jews have a right to live in Judea and Samaria (a.k.a., the West Bank or Occupied Territories.) Anyone acquainted with the Bible or familiar with history knows that.
Irish TV takes on the essence of Zionism
A remarkable discussion on Irish television. Nobel Prize Winner Mairead Maguire, former Australian Middle East reporter Ed O’Loughlin, the Israeli ambassador to Ireland and a spokesman from the Irish Jewish community talk about the siege on Gaza, Zionism, ethnic cleansing and the rights of Jews and Palestinians. Host Vincent Browne is a fiery figure who…
Jewish journalist would like the chance to pull the trigger
Conservative blogger Michael Totten interviews Zionist journalist and war-enabler Jeffrey Goldberg. They talk about many things, including occupation, Iraq, bombing Iran, Judaism, bombing Iran, Palestinian hatred of Israel, Hamas and the bombing of Iran. Welcome to the insulated and aggressive world of cocooned Zionism: Goldberg: And here’s the thing. Netanyahu doesn’t want to endanger the…
Jon Stewart is like Moses, maybe
Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show is a favourite on this site. His comments during January’s Gaza war were a rare Jewish voice of sanity during the madness. Sojourners magazine asks whether he’s also a prophet: It may be true that the Hebrew prophets used humor in that regard, to create social change, but it was…
Zionists build, America complains
There will be no new settlements, announced the US. Oh, you mean these settlements? Israel had won agreement from the United States for the continued construction of 2,500 housing units in settlements in the West Bank, despite U.S. calls for a freeze, according to the Israeli newspaper Ma’ariv. Don’t believe a word uttered by Barack…
Fighting on the side of justice
I was just sent the following information: International Women’s Peace Service in Palestine (IWPS-Palestine) is a team of human rights workers, who provide international accompaniment to Palestinian civilians, document and non-violently intervene in human rights abuses, support acts of non-violent resistance to end the illegal Israeli occupation and building of the apartheid wall. IWPS-Palestine is…
They’re building as fast as they can
Israel’s Channel 2 TV report showing construction in the occupied West Bank is far from being “natural”:
Ignore this Palestinian at your peril
Palestinian-American Ali Abunimah, who I interviewed last year, writes about the Hamas leader’s recent speech regarding his vision for the Middle East: Meshal welcomed a “change of tone” from President Obama but emphasized repeatedly that only a change of policy would matter. He nevertheless claimed the new tone as the fruit of the “stubborn steadfastness…
Tone down the Obama love
Mondoweiss writes: Sharing a cab to JFK, business for him, a frolic for me, Antony Loewenstein challenged me, If Israel bombs Iran, then you really… have to get over your adoration of Obama. But I said I wouldn’t. I would say… that Obama was compelled to accept the disaster, against the very fiber of his beliefs, because…
