It’s one day before the New South Wales election. Sydney’s Marrickville council embraced BDS late last year and since then we’ve seen a litany of hysterical attacks by the Zionist lobby, Liberal Party, Labor Party and Murdoch press. The main “issues”? The Greens are anti-Semitic, want Israel destroyed and hate Jews. That’s the kind of…

Aussie Zio bullies want no debate about Palestine here
The Australian Jewish News write these stories like Israel is about to destroyed by the mere mention of Palestinian rights. Insecure much? The leader of the Government in the Senate, Chris Evans, has denied that he refused to condemn an anti-Israel boycott this week. Senator Mitch Fifield accused Evans of failing to speak out against…
Serbia 1999 vs Libya 2011
Leading Australian academic Scott Burchill has some thoughts about Libya: 1. Military intervention like this can make the humanitarian crisis worse, as it did in Serbia in 1999. Milosevich’s attacks on Kosovars only escalated after NATO’s bombing campaign begun. So even though the West controls the skies over Libya, expect ground attacks by Gaddafi loyalists…

Inside the minds of Itamar colonists
Inka Stafrace is an Australian film-maker concerned with Israel/Palestine. Her first film, Hope in the Sling Shot, was accepted then refused screening on “our” ABC. Brave souls at the national broadcaster. She’s currently working on a new project but in the meantime has shot this beautiful short piece on the recent settler murder in Itamar…
Australia’s Zionist lobby worried BDS may be catching
The ongoing controversy over Sydney’s Marrickville council backing BDS against Israel is getting the political and media establishment and Zionist lobby worried. So what to do? Find a compliant Federal politician who loves Israel to death and will do anything to defend Zionist occupation. Victorian Liberal Mitch Fifield is your man. He’s been on trips…
Israel is “an island of stability”
Israel’s Defense Minister Ehud Barak tells a Jewish audience in the US that Zionism is peachy, occupation is lovely (oh, apart from this and this, of course, but he must have mentioned this when the recorders were off) and the Jewish state should be given even more Western backing. Who believes this nonsense (apart from…
News Goo on Palestine and Wikileaks and our media’s cluelessness
Why does the mainstream media report as it does? Corporate pressure? Reporter laziness? Set narrative? A few months ago a few of us here in Sydney discussed the idea of a Democracy Now! show in Australia, a progressive and critical look at the world, views so often ignored by the MSM. Sydney University’s Jake Lynch…
