The latest email blast from J Street is revealing in its fear of what a one-state solution means for the Middle East. They want and crave Jewish privilege: Jeffrey Goldberg hit the nail on the head this morning in his assessment that adopting the recommendation of the Levy Committee would “spell the end of Israel…

There is no Middle East “peace process”, then or now
Ben White in Al Jazeera kills it: Simply put, the “peace process” is used as a substitute for international law, rather than as a means to secure its implementation. Thus… accountability… for war crimes in Gaza is seen as a threat to the peace process, while for the Palestinians to go to the UN (putting aside that…
Hands up who thinks Saddam had WMD in 2003?
Words fail (via Jim Lobe at IPS): Yes, it’s apparently true: 63% of Republicans still believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction when the U.S. invaded it in 2003. That, according to a… remarkable new survey… on foreign policy attitudes of self-identified Republicans, Democrats, and independents that was noted by… Dan Drezner… in his blog today and released…
Parliamentary “debate” in Australia over Palestine is anemic and racist
There are barely any Australian politicians who speak honestly about Israel and Palestine. Instead, indulged and brain-washed by the Zionist lobby, they spout pro-Israel propaganda. They hear no evil and they see no evil. All the while Israel continues to illegally colonise Palestine, making their stated aim of a two-state solution an utter impossibility. History…
Fanatical Zionist group in US calls for Obama to bomb Iran
The Emergency Committee for Israel once again shows that it’s keen to define Judaism and Zionism solely being about unleashing war:
On Australian Zionist establishment trying to squash any talk of pesky Israeli occupation
This article in Haaretz is interesting, not least because a) the story it tells about Limmud Oz banning a session of dissident Jews was not about BDS (full details here) and b) because it calls the group I co-founded Independent Australian Jewish Voices “far-left”. I’m offended. I mean, surely further left than “far-left” would be…
Australia to take best lesson possible from indulging Zionism since 1948
A friend in Israel sent this to me today. We’ve been warned: Australian politicians, senior bureaucrats, journalists, academics, military and business leaders have for many years been taking paid-for trips to Israel to observe the Israeli model in action, how it works, and to take home lessons that could be applied by Australia. After many…
Israel lobby friend and Murdoch man defames Arabs in a good day’s work
It can’t be easy for a Murdoch editor to find new ways to damn Palestinians but the… Herald Sun’s Alan Howe constantly comes through with the goods. Here’s his latest that proves once again that the Zionist lobby, who sends people like Howe to Israel, creates individuals who loathe Arabs even more than before they left:…
America keen to keep Israel on the financial and military drip feed
From Ynet: The US Senate is currently reviewing the US-Israel… Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 which passed the House of Representatives earlier this month. The bill proposes shared satellite intelligence, aerial refueling tankers, specialized munitions and surplus drawdown gear from Iraq. A Senate aide said the bill has already amassed nearly 50 co-sponsors and is…
American politicians question whether Palestinian refugees are even refugees
Yet more evidence that the American Congress is a) divorced from Middle East reality and b) damn keen to do the bidding of the most extreme Zionist and racist ideas by the Israel lobby (via The Cable): Thirty U.S. senators… will vote today over whether there really are 5 million Palestinian “refugees” or just around 30,000…
