While increasing number of groups globally embrace the BDS agenda – a non-violent way to pressure Israel to abandon apartheid or pay a deep price – the Australian Zionist lobby is fearful: Jewish Community Council of Victoria (JCCV) President John Searle has strongly denounced The Australian Jewish Democratic Society’s (AJDS) recent decision that some boycotts…

Gideon Levy on Zionist degredation
Haaretz journalist Gideon Levy speaking in Scotland on 16 August: The Israeli media is the biggest collaborator of the occupation in Israel. Israeli journalist Gideon Levy speaking in Dundee from Robert Stewart on Vimeo. Unsurprisingly, UK Zionists are accusing Levy of spreading “hatred” on his tour.
Not every “serious” analyst wants to destroy Iran
Despite a push by some Zionists in the US and beyond to strike Iran, Noam Sheizaf blogs from Israel that there’s hardly consensus inside his country to bomb the Islamic Republic. Some sanity still remains.
How many Americans hate Islam?
The hysteria over the proposed Islamic centre and mosque near Ground Zero in New York shows most in the political and media elites have failed miserably since 9/11 to explain what Islam is and is not. Anti-Islam bigotry is rising in the US and often connected to the Zionist project. Increasingly, the most vocal backers…
Aussie Zionist lobbyist doesn’t like answering questions about his lobbying
What’s this I hear? Zionist victimhood? A multi-millionaire property developer hires a man with no property experience and resents being asked whether politics (ie. the influence of the Zionist lobby) or access to the ALP has anything to do with it?

“Gaffes” by IDF soldiers
Rupert Murdoch’s news.com.au publishes this AP story that is surely designed to make the reader feel sorry for the Israeli state; they just can’t keep “secrets” secret anymore. The poor dears. What on earth should soldiers occupying the Palestinians do with their spare time? The security obsessed Israeli military is confronting a new adversary –…
Humiliating Palestinians is a daily IDF affair
Yes (via Haaretz editorial): Eden Aberjil doesn’t understand what all the fuss is about. The former soldier sees nothing wrong with posting photos on her Facebook profile showing her posing, grinning and amused, alongside blindfolded Palestinian detainees. “The pictures reflect the military experience,” she told Army Radio this week of her online photo album, entitled…
