Syrian Butcher Assad and UN/US’s Compliant Diplomat Kofi Annan There is no doubt that the armed opposition to the Assad regime in Syria is now armed and directed by the imperialist states and their Arab sponsors – Quatar and Saudi Arabia.  That special forces from the US, UK and France among others are active in…

  Even Students in John McCain’s State of Arizona are turning against Israel This is a good example of how the argument for Israel and Zionism has collapsed, even in its United States heartland.  To those who say it doesn’t matter or it is ‘book burning’ I say that the precondition for the success of…

The Hypocrites and Prostitutes of Pundits like Jonathan Freedland & Aaronovitch There are no greater hypocrites than the pundits and prostitutes of the spoken word – the Jonathan Freedlands and David Aaronovitches – who wax lyrical about the terrors of the Cultural Boycott whilst turning a blind eye to the ongoing attacks of Israel’s war…

If there’s no success like failure, as Dylan once wrote, then equally there’s no failure quite like success!  Speak to any Zionist and they are eager to profess how ineffective BDS is.  On the other hand the Israeli government has been going to extraordinary lengths to combat Boycott, culminating in a law passed last year…

Another victory in the cultural boycott as Alice Walker, who took part in the boycott of Apartheid South Africa, declares Israel to be even worse.  Psychologically, the Cultural Boycott is of crucial importance in undermining the morale of the settler-colonial state of Israel, just as it did in South Africa.   Because, although we trumpet the…

Looking pleased after another drone attack on some poor dead family Bin Laden – an All-American Creation   The May be Sons of a Bitch – But they were Our Sons It’s not often that members of the ruling elites come clean so we should, I guess, savour the moment when Hilary Clinton admits that…

This was article was sent to me by Eran Torbiner, producer of Bunda’im, a lovely and very moving film about the surviving (and sadly dying) remnant of the Bund in Israel and their determination not to compromise their beliefs in a society based on everything the Bund fought against This is a tribute to the…

Minister declares Israel “belongs to white man” “I have nowhere to go,” says Moses Gadia. Jillian Kestler-D’Amours The Electronic Intifada 12 June 2012 ( Jillian Kestler-D’Amours / IPS) EILAT (IPS) – Moses Gadia speaks quietly, a detailed and colorful map of South Sudan on the wall next to him. In the courtyard outside, a group…

The article below is worth crossposting, although I don’t agree with all of it.  In particular it doesn’t draw the connections between the ‘threat to our identity’ that Netanyahu expresses and the Zionist aim of creating a purely Jewish state.  Where Friedman talks about ‘Israeli racism (which exists, as it does everywhere)’ she forgets the…
