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 corrupting influence of Jewish money
Gideon Levy in Haaretz: Just as the benefit to Israel of the belligerent and heavy-handed U.S. Jewish lobby is quite dubious – to the extent that for a long time it has seemed it would be better for Israel if it disappeared altogether – so, too, we must now question the Jewish money flowing to…
Blair the mendacious
These kinds of revelations just keep on coming (yet so many in the corporate press can’t stop fawning over the former British Prime Minister). Tony Blair mounted an intense political lobbying campaign to rescue a struggling mobile-phone business owned by a client of the bank that pays him a …£2”…million annual salary. The firm, Wataniya,…
Zionist settlers are just like you and me, except for illegally occupying another people’s land
This story really needs to be circulated. Occupation is now as Zionist as hatred of Palestinians but better PR may convince the most gullible people who believe that “nice” people live in the colonies and should be allowed to stay. Oh sure, they have no legal right to do so, Palestinians are given virtually no…
Christians standing up for rights in Palestine
A moving presentation, via the Ecumenical Accompaniment Program in Palestine and Israel (EAPPI), on life in the West Bank town of Yanoun.
How to protest Israeli crimes within art
Author William Parry discusses his new book on BBC World News 24 about stories of graffiti artists and people affected by Israel’s apartheid wall and the Middle East conflict:
“Relationships with Palestinians make present the terrible things done in our name”
While most Israeli Jews are sleep-walking through their lives, mostly oblivious to Palestinians and the occupation, there are notable exceptions. The invaluable Israeli blog Promised Land gives the story. If only there were more Israelis like this: Poet Klil Zisapel was one of twelve Israeli women that took a group of Palestinian women and children…
The Greens must push Labor to question Israel
Don’t worry Zionists, neither major political party has any intention of questioning anything Israel ever does because Israel is a state that clearly needs only blind backing: The Labor Party has insisted its official agreement with The Greens is unlikely to have an impact on its support for Israel.
Fidel visits a dolphin show and reflects on his legacy
Credit where it’s due. The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg may have spread propaganda about Saddam, Iran and Israel, but he can write and his latest dispatch about meeting Fidel Castro (here’s the first) is fascinating: There were many odd things about my recent Havana stopover (apart from the dolphin show, which I’ll get to shortly), but…
