Only a few years after the Holocaust, this reveals the depravity of many early Zionists: The Great Book Robbery is a multifaceted cultural heritage project. It has two major components, a documentary film to be produced, broadcast and screened internationally and this very website which will grow into a multi-function platform. Two European broadcasters already…

What’s wrong with humiliating Palestinians?
These two pieces really speak for themselves. The moral corruption of the Israeli occupation in all its gruesome detail. First up, Aluf Benn in Haaretz: The photographs of the female soldier Eden Abergil on Facebook with the young, bound Palestinians did not “shock” me, as did the automatic responses of people on the left who…
Too many facts about Islam will just be confusing
Helpful tips for bigots, hardcore Zionists and Christian fundamentalists: Local man Scott Gentries told reporters Wednesday that his deliberately limited grasp of Islamic history and culture was still more than sufficient to shape his views of the entire Muslim world. Gentries, 48, said he had absolutely no interest in exposing himself to further knowledge of…
The normality of radical and racist Jews in the bosom of the state
Max Blumenthal reports on a gathering of religious Jews in Jerusalem and reveals yet again how mainstream these extreme views are; killing of innocents, killing Arabs and Palestinians and receiving backing from the Netanyahu government:
Australian Jewish group warms to BDS step by step
A statement from the left Zionist group Australian Jewish Democratic Society. Good to see they’re standing firm in the face of Zionist lobby pressure. Shame that they only see the importance of BDS regarding the occupied territories and not much deeper against the infrastructure of occupation (alive and well in Israel proper). But it’s a…
Overland 200
Overland magazine is one of Australia’s finest independent journals. I contributed the lead essay in 2008 about the resource wars. The publication is progressive and proud. It has just released its 200th edition and a number of leading leftists were asked to briefly define the “Left” in 2010 and what it means to them. Here’s…
How do you spell Palestinian complicity?
Must we suffer these tiresome articles featuring the supposedly soothing words of Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad – in office illegally, by the way – talking about his “vision” for a Palestinian state by 2011? Good luck with that, with Israeli and American aid behind you.
Better Tweeting ain’t gonna solve Israel’s massive image problem
This is as tragic as comical. When will the Zionist lobby realise that more “effective” PR isn’t the answer to their problems? Until Israel changes its behaviour, the label “apartheid state” will be an understatement: An Australian plan to spread good news about Israel via social media will be presented at an upcoming international Jewish…
Washington doesn’t understand that the Middle East has changed
How does the more enlightened establishment view the Middle East and America’s role? Robert Malley and Peter Harling write in Foreign Affairs: In the Middle East, U.S. President Barack Obama has spent the first year and a half of his presidency seeking to undo the damage wrought by his predecessor. He has made up some…
Abunimah says without Hamas talks are pointless
Ali Abunimah in the New York Times – what, a Palestinian in the Times, get rid of him immediately! – on America’s apparent determination to fail at upcoming “peace talks” between Israel and the Palestinian Authority: George J. Mitchell, the United States Middle East envoy, tried to counter low expectations for renewed Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations…
