Zionist organisations aren’t too fond of open debate. Indeed, dissent is shunned, especially on issues related to Israel/Palestine. So this latest, local news is both tragic (and utterly predictable): Making the Executive Council of Australian Jewry (ECAJ) the pre-eminent voice of the Jewish community is Robert Goot’s main aim, the new president told delegates at…

Neo-con Ledeen praises Howard as “arguably the greatest Western leader of the past decade”
My following article appears in today’s edition of Crikey: Michael Ledeen is a key figure in the neo-con firmament, a man whose ideas about the Arab world have been thoroughly proven false time and time again. It therefore makes sense that Australia’s leading Zionist lobby, AIJAC, has invited him here on a speaking tour to…
Control is sweet

They can’t help it

Zionists fail the secularism test
Philip Weiss, Mondoweiss, November 12: The endorsement by Pat Robertson of pro-abortion candidate Rudy Giuliani this week is widely seen as a sign that the evangelical Christian vote, which has scared the bejesus out of a lot of people in blue states for the last 30 years, is losing its monolithic power.

Bombing, Zionist-style
The love affair between Israel and America continues: The US Congress on Friday approved the purchase of weapons and technological systems from Israel’s defense industries for $700 million. The advanced technological products will be acquired as part of the American security budget for the coming year to be used by US forces in Iraq and…
