The consequences of abandoning the Health and Social Care Bill BMJ Editorial, 30 January 2012, BMJ 2012;344:e748 Kieran Walshe, professor of health policy and management Even at this late stage, the…

An excellent article that I thoroughly recommend by Lenni Brenner, a veteran American Jewish anti-Zionist whose seminal book, Zionism in the Age of the Dictators showed how during the war, the Zionist movement collaborated with the Hitlerites and fascists whilst opposing the entry of Jewish refugees to any country bar Palestine. In this article Lenni…

WARNING: THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE EXTREMELY GRUESOME AND ALL COME FROM THE Bloody Repression In Bahrain’s photos collection. One of the most nauseating aspects of the coverage of Syria is the pretence that the Arab League ‘peace mission’, led by a Sudanese war criminal, represents the good Arab states. Saudia Arabia is a by-word for brutal…

Intruding on Private Grief I must confess that intruding on a private spat within the Zionist Federation is like intruding on private grief of a family spat. But the temptation is too great!

Peter Tatchell and Others Support Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions This letter from Peter Tatchell and other gay and Palestine solidarity activists is to be welcomed. It is certainly overdue.

How the Herrenvolk Sees Itself In an article, ‘The End of the Secular Majority’ Israel’s only liberal daily, Ha’aretz laments the advance of the ultra-orthodox and the decline of the secular majority. What the early Zionist pioneers chose to ignore was that by basing their claims to Palestine on the holy scriptures, they had handed…

Release All Israel’s Administrative Detainees Please sign the petition to try, even at the 11th hour, to save the life of Khader Adnan. Like all Palestinian administrative detainees, he is subject to ‘occupiers’ justice’ i.e. no justice at all. In Ireland internment, imprisonment without trial, was a major issue in the early 1970’s and its…
