Australian mainstream politician (“left-winger”) shows yet more love for Zionism

What an undignified state of affairs. Here’s Anthony Albanese, Australia’s federal minister for transport and infrastructure and the federal member for Sydney’s Grayndler, writing in today’s Australian about the supposed problems with the Sydney Marrickville council backing BDS. The piece is filled with mistakes, untruths and glaring omissions, such as: – Albanese is married to…

Which Western leader advocated ethnic cleansing?

Guess who said this in 1989: Israel should have taken advantage of the suppression of the demonstrations in China [Tiananmen Square], when the world’s attention was focussed on what was happening in that country, to carry out mass expulsions among the Arabs of the Territories. However, to my regret, they did not support that policy…

Israel shares its murdering ways with good friends and allies

Just remind me why Western leaders aren’t complicit in countless war crimes? Israel’s military has been training British troops to fly drones similar to those used in alleged war crimes against Palestinians, Sky News has learned. Britain is buying 30 Watchtower WK450 unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) which are based on the Israeli Elbit Hermes 450…

BDS hits inner Sydney and Greens are leading the charge

People don’t want to support Israeli apartheid anymore: On December 14 last year, Marrickville…

A direct challenge to the Australian Greens on Israel/Palestine

The following statement is written by Australian Jewish academic Ned Curthoys. I agree with its sentiments: Antony and I had a dream last night in which the important resolution by the NSW Greens in December of last year in support of an economic and cultural boycott of the colonialist Zionist project in Israel/Palestine was quickly…

No, Bibi, Iran only threatens your self-importance

Israel doesn’t really learn very well. After the outgoing Mossad chief said that Iran isn’t really a threat now or in the foreseeable future, here’s Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu saying the exact opposite. He’s best ignored. Better still, mocked: Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told foreign journalists Tuesday that the American diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks…

Good morning Israeli fascism

Perhaps this is something to please us. Amnon Danker is former editor of one of Israel’s most popular dailies, Maariv, and he’s written an essay (kindly translated by Jewish blogger Richard Silverstein) on the dire state of Israeli “democracy”. Grim, depressing and blind. What’s the positive? That such people, thoroughly from the mainstream, are suddenly…
