What a headline in Ynet: “Army Chief Ashkenazi: Prepare for all-out war“. This is code for the Arab world, in a country like Egypt, actually wanting to pick their own leaders and not be ruled by Zionist-friendly rulers. Get used to the new neighbourhood, Tel Aviv.

How can a photo exhibition about Gaza be truly anti-Semitic?
A European photographer simply went to Gaza and documented the horrific effects of Israel’s massacre in late 2009/early 2010.
Dear Antony, we hate you
I receive these kinds of messages many times every week. Usually anonymous (the bravery is staggering) and often from Jews. Feel the faux paranoia and victimhood. Zionism has deformed my people: The fight is on & the enemy doesn’t distinguish between Israeli Jews or the wider Jewish community. The hate is deep set & rising.…
Creating a generation of imprisoned minds
Just one more Arab who knows a few things about the US/Israeli backed dictatorship in Egypt. With no real democracy, what does this persecution do to the mind?

The country’s President Shimon Peres said last week that, “no matter what they say, we owe Mubarak true gratitude for being as steadfast as a rock…
BDS should rock Israelis from their far-too-comfortable lives
Joseph Dana and Max Blumenthal issue an important essay: …The power of the cultural boycott in disrupting the apathy that pervades middle class, urban Israeli society. Apathy allows Israelis to live in comfort behind iron walls while remaining immune to the occupation and innoculated from its horrors. The culture of apathy allows them to watch…
If Israel was a person, Gillard would ask the hourly rate
Here’s our Embarrassment in Chief Prime Minister Julia Gillard on last night’s ABC 4 Corners talking about that glorious democracy in the Middle East (yes, I thought she was thinking about Egypt but how wrong I was): Oh, I am a strong supporter of Israel. Obviously also a strong supporter of a peace process there…
Highlighting the Beijing-backed thugs in Sri Lanka
The Committee to Protect Journalists issued the following statement in late January: Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon must press the United Nations to address the string of uninvestigated and unprosecuted attacks on journalists and media houses under the government of Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa, the Committee to Protect Journalists said today. CPJ responded after an early…
