PSC Largely Irrelevant to Solidarity Work in Britain It is sometime since I last posted an article on the goings on Palestine Solidarity Campaign nationally and in particular the efforts of a small neo-Stalinist group, Socialist Action, to retain control by stifling debate and fixing votes. At last year’s AGM, PSC Executive went to extraordinary…

Israeli ‘Family Magazine’ Fountains of Salvation Advocates Sending Arabs to Death Camps No sooner have I finished blogging on one set of Nazi rabbis than another lot pop up. And whilst I’m teasing out the links between a religious ruling forbidding rent an apartment to Arabs and Nazi laws to do the same to Jews,…

Tutu’s life has been lived in the spirit of “never again” – the ultimate lesson of the Holocaust The South African Zionist Federation, which never, not once, criticised Apartheid until it was on its way out, and indeed which fully supported Israel’s military support for Apartheid, is now criticising one of the real heroes of…

Only the mentally insane and Israeli propagandists could really believe that the way to save Gaza’s Palestinians from the icy grip of Hamas was to blow 1,400 of them up in the attack and bombing in 2008/9. Anyone who isn’t a certifiable liar employed by Israel’s numerous propaganda organisations or the Zionist Federation, such as…

Perhaps the most shocking of all things in Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians is the way that children are treated. It is unimaginable that an Jewish Israeli child would be brought to court in shackles or even be placed in a court of law. Beatings and abuse of children by the Israeli military is common…

Another Israeli Attack on a Peaceful Palestinian Village I remember when growing up, as a Zionist, we were told of how Israel had made the desert bloom, drained the swamps whilst the Arabs sat around planning to kill them. How in 1948, despite entreaties from the Jewish settlers, the Arabs had voluntarily left in order…

The only image of a Palestinian inside YadVashem depicts the Grand Mufti ofJerusalem sig heiling Nazi troops Although the Western media does its best to pretend that it’s life as normal, and maybe it is, we have another first. A group of elderly Arab women, who were visiting the Yad Vashem Propaganda Museum, dedicated to…

This is an important document and expression of the frustration of secular youth in Gaza. Israeli’s disgusting propagandists portray their siege and war as being against Hamas when it is, of course, directed against the civilian population of Gaza. It is a cry of despair and frustration. It says it is against all politics but…

The Fight for Justice in Palestine and Socialism Internationally Continues Undoubtedly the biggest story of the year was Israel’s attack on the Gaza Freedom Flotilla and its murder of 9 human rights activists on the Mavi Marmara. Israel has spent its time since then justifying the attack as an act of self defence! We covered…

Julian Assange Should Dump Shamir Forthwith It was probably the letter from Ali Abunimah and Hussein Ibish that first alerted me to the character of Israel Shamir. (see below) He is a man who is so thoroughly racist and anti-Semitic that he even criticised the BNP for being too pro-Jewish. Shamir has worked with David…
