Gideon Levy in Haaretz: We always knew that a few years without an external threat could strain the delicate seams: When the guns go silent, the demons roar. But no one predicted such an outburst of demons of every kind, all at once. The assault on the existing order is an all-out war, on every…

Growing numbers of Jews wake up to reality; Israel isn’t good for us
Philip Weiss explains on Mondoweiss: Israel isn’t good for the Jews anymore. That’s the news from New York. It happened in the last week, or the last two years. A feeling has taken root deep in the American Jewish community that Israel is hurting us, hurting our standing in the world and our future. The…
When former IDF prison guards even realise Zionist apartheid is here
The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg is a little worried that his beloved Jewish state has an apartheid problem: I think we’re only a few years away, at most, from a total South-Africanization of this issue. And if Israelis believe that the vast majority of American Jews — their most important supporters in the entire world —…

But not to worry, Australia’s Prime Minister sails on regardless, giving the same talking points that…
Palestine burns while Australian politicians fiddle in darkened rooms
“Moderate Greens” must be so pleased that Murdoch’s Australian is praising their stance to not fully embrace BDS against Israel: Moderate Greens in NSW have welcomed the party’s decision to ditch its official support for the “destructive” international campaign to isolate Israel. A meeting of the NSW Greens state council on Sunday resolved to rescind…
Memo to NSW Greens; Palestine needs your full support now
After a year of unprecedented Zionist assaults on democracy in Palestine and Israel itself, the NSW Greens capitulate to intense Murdoch media pressure and internal conservatism to back down from fully supporting BDS. News flash to the party: apartheid in Palestine isn’t going anywhere and avoiding a key human rights issue only makes you look…
Israeli journalism is (mostly) about repeating government talking points on “terror”
As ever, Gideon Levy in Haaretz nails the counter-narrative in the Zionist state: Israeli journalism censors itself to the point of harm. Part of it has become a means of entertainment while inciting our more base passions. Part of it now appeals to emotions, not reason, and deals with trivial rather than important issues, taking…
