Just the latest sign that Israel is a racist state that only wants to benefit Jews. Charming kind of “democracy”: Israel moved Sunday to deport the offspring of hundreds of migrant workers, mostly small children who were born in Israel, speak Hebrew and have never seen their parents’ native countries. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said…

Are more Jews waking up from their slumber?
UK Prospect magazine publishes a short piece by Antony Lerman that encourages the British government to be more critical of Israel because that’s what growing numbers of Jews want. Not subservience to the Zionist state: David Cameron’s description of Gaza as a “prison camp” and his strong condemnation of Israel over the Turkish Gaza flotilla…
“Fortress Israel” is a nice place to be
Increasingly, the Zionist world frames itself as the victim in the Middle East – “nobody understands us” and “if only the West would offer unconditional backing for our enlightened occupation” – and this Jerusalem Post interview with Britain’s departing ambassador to the country reveals a newspaper editor who just wants to be loved. He needs…
Obama still hearts poor little Tel Aviv
There is no clash between Israel and America. Business as usual continues: US House appropriators have pushed funding for Israeli missile defense programs to its highest level ever, with $422.7 million now slated for 2011. Last week, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense added $95.7m. to the original White House funding request for the long-range…
Peres whinges that Britain doesn’t love Israel to death
This is rich coming from an old war criminal and father of the settlements in the West Bank. The idea that Israel may be criticised in the West is seemingly beyond understanding in insulated Israel. And note the casual racism towards Muslims. The supposedly moderate face of Zionism: Shimon Peres said England was “deeply pro-Arab…
What kind of state wants its youth to destroy homes?
The recent Israeli razing of Bedouin homes was painful and captured on film. Equally disturbing was the news that a number of young Israelis were both assisting the destruction and celebrating at the same time. Max Blumenthal, currently spending a number of months in Israel and Palestine, investigated: Arab Negev News publisher Ata Abu Madyam…
Nothing to see here, simply more Zionist propaganda down under
What does Israel need? More uncritical supporters in the West who back a “nation on the front lines of the global battle between those who love life and those who glorify death.” Welcome to the Friends of Israel Western Australia who are launching in a massive event on 8 August. Don’t expect any discussion about…
Troubles remain in the Gaza Strip
ABC Radio provides an on-the-ground report from inside Gaza, a short while since the “lifting” of the Israeli siege: PETER CAVE: The calm waters of the Mediterranean lap the shores of Gaza’s fishing port as the fishing boats come in with their catches and load them onto donkey carts to go to market. (Sound of…
How the ALP tries to keep any pro-Palestinian thoughts well hidden
Yesterday’s Sydney Morning Herald examined Labor Party head-kicker Mark Arbib and his supposedly magical powers within the ALP. Lucky him. Then there was this paragraph: He kept a tight rein on the state’s MPs. Julia Irwin, then the Member for Fowler, says he responded to a speech she gave on the rights of Palestinians by…
How the Melbourne Film Festival embraces apartheid Israel
Back in 2009, film-maker Ken Loach withdrew his film Looking for Eric from the Melbourne International Film Festival after it was revealed that the Israeli government offered financial support for the event. This year there was supposedly no controversy despite the festival again taking funds from the Israeli government (the director, Richard Moore, is a…
