Operation Cast Lead two years on

Today is the 2nd anniversary of Israel’s brutal assault on Gaza. Tragically, tensions are building once more: Ilan Pappe agrees. Palestinian civil society releases a statement today that stresses what the international community must do; hold the Zionist state to account: We the Palestinians of the Besieged Gaza Strip, on this day, two years on…

US had no issue with Israeli murder of Hamas leader

It’s only terrorism when “they” do it? On February 25, 2010, State Department spokesperson Philip Crowley lied when he told a press conference that he wasn’t aware of any request from Dubai for assistance in tracking the Mossad killers of Mahmoud al-Mabouh. … To those who say that Wikileaks hasn’t told us anything we didn’t already…

New Yorker editor looks at Israel and dislikes what he sees

The love affair is turning sour. When the sympathetic “liberal” US media start asking serious questions about the Zionist state, Tel Aviv (and its blind Diaspora supporters) have a problem.

Israel may have to attack Iran, Zionist leader tells obedient Murdoch typist

Hands up all those who like taking free trips to Israel organised by the Zionist lobby? The Sydney Morning Herald’s Lenore Taylor does and her recent column simply “reported” alarmist Israeli comments over the supposed threat of Iran.
