The elevation of Julia Gillard to position of Australia’s new Prime Minister has been welcomed, indeed blessed, by both the Zionist and American lobbies. Gillard can certainly be relied upon to follow her predecessor’s attitude towards the Jewish state and Washington, namely that independent thought is frowned upon and obedience is the necessary Australian way.…

Don’t step out of line on Israel or an irrelevant Australian MP will slam you
Australian NGO APHEDA is the aid arm of the country’s largest union, the ACTU. It has a history of speaking strongly against Israeli aggression and this will only continue in the coming months. So when the APHEDA head recently called for the Israeli siege on Gaza to be lifted, it was almost inevitable that a…
Australia’s Israel lobby are like little sheep
The role of religious lobbies in Australia isn’t new (witness the Prime Minister and Opposition Leader last night trying to impress the Christian lobby and its mates across the country, saying things about gay marriage, climate change and refugees). There needs to be far more sunlight into the relations between governments and lobby groups. Who…
What AIPAC would like the world to think
This what America’s leading Zionist lobby, AIPAC, sends to the media; a racist video depicting all Arabs as terrorists. Yes, AIPAC represents Jews (and again, this is a Latma production, courtesy of the Jerusalem Post’s Caroline Glick, the genius behind “We Con The World”):
Obama’s zero results in the Muslim world
Commenting on a new Pew study that outlines growing Arab anger towards Barack Obama, Andrew Sullivan signals a win for the Zionist lobby and Israel’s right-wing; singing all the way over the cliff: The Arab world, for reasons both ugly and realistic, was waiting to see if Obama could actually wrest free of the pro-Israel…

American politicians very happy to help Israel in any way they can
A helpful guide to seeing the power of the Zionist lobby on American politics in the wake of the Gaza flotilla massacre.
A nice example of the Israel lobby in action (and mouthing talking points)
Here’s how it works. A columnist in the Sydney Morning Herald, Mike Carlton, writes a column critical of Israel’s attack on the Gaza flotilla. The following week his column begins thus: It is a ferocious beast, the Jewish lobby. Write just one sentence even mildly critical of Israel and it lunges from its lair, fangs…
Inciting race hatred on Murdoch money
A helpful reminder of the kind of hatred that regularly appears in the pages of a leading Murdoch publication. Alan Howe is a senior figure in Melbourne’s Herald Sun newspaper who loves to demean Arabs and praise Israel (free trips to the Jewish state thanks to the Zionist lobby have certainly helped him hone his…
Is the Aussie Zionist lobby in trouble?
One of Australia’s foremost academics, Scott Burchill, senses a change in Australian public opinion over Israel. The Zionist lobby will have noticed. As will the lobby’s closest backers (such support is always helped by regular free trips to Israel and a constant stream of press releases). Over to Burchill in an online exclusive: Sometimes government…
