The Day Israel’s Death Squads Took to the High Seas The Lies of the Israeli State and the Labour-Likud-Yisrael Beteinu government are coming home to roost. You may still remember the initial propaganda, that a boat of human rights activists were really terrorists and had taken by surprise elite Naval Commandos and tried to lynch…

Two excellent pieces. The first by Uri Avnery, the veteran Israeli peace campaigner. Uri is not an anti-Zionist and he opposes the Boycott campaign but he has consistently fought for a genuine Palestinian state alongside Israel (something which is impossible as this contardicts the purpose and aim of the West’s Middle Eastern rotweiller) and more…

Boycott Ahava’s Stolen Goods Shop Activists have been mounting a picket of the Ahava ‘beauty store’ in Covent Garden London every Saturday between about 12 and 2.00. As per normal, Jonathan Hoffman and a few sidekicks come along to counter the Palestinian supporters. Ahava markets products from the Dead Sea, i.e. it deals in stolen…

Far from the occupants of the Mavi Marmara, as Israel’s black propaganda would suggest, trying to kill its soldiers, the passengers actually tended to them and treated their wounds.

Leaving aside that Israel had already issued a previous tape of such exchanges without the Auschwitz remark, they now add a ‘go back to Auschwitz’ in a European voice. There…

One of the features of most right wing states and regimes is that they continually seek to put a PR gloss on their iniquities. Some like Israel are more successful than others. Or rather Israel used to be successful. America had and has Hollywood to turn every crisis into a drama. Hence in John Wayne’s…

Israel’s Lies about Murdering Armed Aid Workers on the Mavi Marmara Exposed Ever since the murder of at least 9, almost certainly more, people on the Mavi Marmara, Israel has taken to the airwaves in a PR blitzkrieg. Far from being the murderous thugs and war criminals that they are, they were the victims of…

Jonathan Hoffman of the Zionist Federation Defends Allowing Fascists to Take Part to Tonight I went to a demonstration outside the Israeli Embassy in London. The couple of hundred pro-Palestinian demonstrators faced a counter-demonstration. This was a demonstration which the EDL had announced in advance it would join. Despite knowing this the Zionist Federation and…
