Powerful Gideon Levy column in yesterday’s Haaretz: What do dogs remind you of? And what do German shepherds remind you of? And what about armed soldiers who sic German shepherds on people trying to sneak through a border in order to earn a living? These lines are being written in a hotel room in the…

Israeli soldiers talk frankly about their abuses in West Bank
Israeli group Breaking the Silence provides a vital platform for Israeli soldiers to speak out against the vile behaviour of the Jewish state in the occupied territories. The latest release is a number of female soldiers explaining the brutality that is normalised while serving in the West Bank:
Why nobody should take US seriously over Israel/Palestine part 65443
Watch this performance by a hack at the State Department this week and why Washington has no interest in holding Israel to account for its daily violations of human rights in Palestine:
Israel unleashes terror on Palestinians because it can
Beyond all the political posturing over Israel and Palestine, the reality of occupation grinds on. Gideon Levy writes in Haaretz of just one such event: The Israel Defense Forces’ Duvdevan unit is just about the very best, albeit with slightly less luster than the Shayetet, the Tayeset and “The Unit” − the IDF’s elite naval…
Washington’s love of deja vu politics between Israel and Palestine
Rashid Khalidi writes in Foreign Policy: Observing U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry`s efforts to restart negotiations between Palestinians and Israelis one can`t help but be struck by a sense of d×™j× vu. Kerry, who visits Israel and the Palestinian territories this week, has launched an initiative to improve the economic conditions of Palestinians living…
How Israel’s weapons industry thrives on ever-greater conflict
Fascinating and depressing (via 972 magazine) about the radically different view of Israel in the general public globally (never been worse due to racism and occupation against Palestinians) and the elites who see endless financial opportunity. Vulture capitalism brought to you by Zionism: In his new documentary, ”˜The Lab,’ Yotam Feldman explores how Israel’s weapons…
Zionist world says BDS irrelevant yet obsesses over it daily
It’s been nothing short of hilarious watching politicians, the Israel lobby, some journalists and Zionists continually say that BDS against Israel should be ignored, it’s achieving nothing and is simply anti-Semitic. Nothing to see here. Of course, the opposite is true and it’s having a major effect on public perceptions of Israel globally. Brutally occupying…
How conservatives view free speech when discussing Israel and war
Let’s not be under any illusion that conservatives who talk about a love of “freedom” (including… Rupert Murdoch, for that matter) mean nothing of the sort, but only views that push a pro-US, pro-Israel and pro-war agenda. The Zionist lobby, a long-time fan of bullying opponents, is on-board.… Here’s Murdoch’s Australian on the weekend: A Coalition government…
Israeli electric car company, promoted as progressive, dies
This is a classic case of mainstream journalists, so keen to promote Progressive and Green Israel, shilling for Israeli electric corporation Better Place. The fact that members of its board had troubling human rights records and it operated in the occupied West Bank was conveniently ignored. Now news that will sadden nobody except individuals who…
Murdoch press kindly protects Israel from Nazism, fascism and Maoism
What would a day be without lies, slander and mad exaggeration from the Murdoch media about Israel and its critics? After running one article this week, by Stuart Rees, that explained how BDS isn’t the work of the devil, the paper is back to its usual hyperbolic self. The clear tactic is to charge anybody…
