The moral role of an artist in the modern world
The growing number of mainstream figures waking up to the evil of the Israeli occupation is welcome and it’s moving to the heart of the American arts world. Once more Americans realise what is happening, Israel’s day are numbered. Here’s Theodore Bikel, a Tony and Oscar-nominated actor and musician, explaining why: There are weighty reasons…
Wanting to kill Gideon Levy via the Zionist mainstream
What kind of Jewish newspaper would publish a letter like this? Having written a book The Punishment of Gaza – with an obvious content – Jewish Israeli Gideon Levy took great pleasure in making a vile speech at a meeting hosted by the Manchester Palestinian Solidarity Campaign. I ask several questions about this hideous man:…

The public was told that each side was pessimistic about the prospects of finally sealing a deal after decades of stop-start negotiations. The stated goal was a…
