I was interviewed this week by 2SER’s The Wire on why boycotting Israel is a legitimate tactic in the face of Zionist occupation and calling these actions anti-Semitic, as many in the political and media elites do, simply demeans the word’s real meaning.

At what point will the Murdoch press realise they are cheapening real anti-Semitism?
Probably never. Their Zionist love knows no bounds. See today’s outrageous letter, once again complaining that BDS is akin to Nazi Germany. They cheapen the memory of the Holocaust by printing such garbage: If Bob Brown can’t control Lee Rhiannon (“Senator stands by Israel boycott“, 29/8) it’s up to somebody with a bit more clout…
On BDS, criminalising pro-Palestinian activism and myopic politics
The following interviews are published this week in Green Left Weekly. One: Antony Loewenstein is an independent journalist and author of My Israel Question and The Blogging Revolution. Green Left Weekly’s Simon Butler asked Loewenstein about recent attempts to intimidate supporters of the boycott, sanctions and divestment (BDS) campaign against Israel. * * * Nineteen…
At least one Australian politician stands up for Palestine
Bravo Lee Rhiannon and as always the Murdoch Australian is incapable of framing this movement as anything other than outright anti-Semitism: Greens senator Lee Rhiannon has again refused to back away from the anti-Israel boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign, despite opposition from her leader, Bob Brown. Her comments came as a group of federal MPs…
Why Palestinian children rightly hate Israel
An occupying nation that loves colonisation of Palestinian land needs to continuously find new ways to humiliate the “natives”. Read on: The boy, small and frail, is struggling to stay awake. His head lolls to the side, at one point slumping on to his chest. “Lift up your head! Lift it up!” shouts one of…
Israel was on verge of yet another futile war against Gaza last week
Israel’s biggest newspaper has the story. And what will be the global reaction to this? Silence, because after all, if Israel would have attacked Gaza it would have been seen as “defensive” even if white phosphorus was used, like during Operation Cast Lead. This is the Holocaust excuse, used time and time again, and yet…
Paying for anti-Islam hate
An important report but shame that there isn’t more public discussion about the kind of people who are spreading this message against Muslims are also some of Israel’s biggest backers:
PressTV interview on BDS, Palestinian rights and faux anti-Semitism
The debate around Israel/Palestine in Australia has descended into calling critics (and backers of BDS) Nazis. Yes, that dignified. And the Zionist establishment is leading the charge, completely undermining its argument that the memory of the Holocaust should be holy. For them, Israel must be protected no matter what, even if dead Jews must be…
BDS activists aren’t Nazis and neither are any mainstream leftists
Following my article this week damning the Jewish, political and media establishments for shamefully comparing BDS against Israel to Nazi Germany, I’m not alone in my concerns:
Glenn Beck brings pro-settler hatred to Israel (but few turn up)
Almost beyond farce: As he did at a rally he led in Washington last year, Mr. Beck gave out awards at his Jerusalem rally. One went to the settlement of Itamar and the Fogel children who survived a horrific Palestinian attack on their home in March that killed their parents and three siblings. More incongruously,…
