As readers of the blog will know, Histadrut, the racist settler union that created the Israeli state, began its life campaigning for Jewish Labour (Kibbush Ha’avodah i.e. the Boycott of Arab labour), Jewish land (to be redeemed from the Arabs) and Jewish produce (a Boycott of Arab produce). Histadrut was established in 1920 and until…

I can honestly say that the whole conspiracy thing about 9/11 passed me by, as do most other conspiracy theories. That doesn’t mean there weren’t those in the ‘intelligence’ services who didn’t desire Al Quaeda to do their worst in order to provoke the inevitable reaction, but I nevery bought into the idea that a…

A little reminder after Holocaust Memorial Day that when Zionists claim that the Holocaust sanctifies them and Israel uses the holocaust to ward off criticism, as to their real attitude. Israel claims (mistakenly) that it arose on the ashes of the Holocaust. It’s a good story, but even now, when holocaust survivors are rapidly dying…

“It’s a shame that either Hitler or the Angel of Death, missed your family’s house. Or Neturei Karta’s.” Normally I don’t put anti-Semitic, holocaust denial or overt Zionist racist comments on my blog. However I’m going to make an exception today. Well I’m not going to post them but I’m going to place them together…

PSC Executive Accuses Its Opponents of Being Zionist Agents Executive Response to Criticism is to Restrict Democracy Further Last summer, 13 of us (subsequently 27) sent a letter to Palestine Solidarity Campaign Executive. It is copied below*: As can be seen, we raised issues concerning the way PSC was being run. In the Annual Report…

Coroner & British Establishment Covered Up Peach’s Murder None are so good at effecting a cover-up as the British Establishment. Blair Peach, an anti-fascist activist, was murdered by the Special Patrol Group in 1979 protesting against an NF election meeting. This group of thugs were responsible 30 years later for the murder of Ian Tomlinson…

The Cynicism of Israel’s PR Aid to HaitiIs Israel’s help in Haiti really useful or a gigantic PR exercise asks Sol Salbe, the translater of the item below? As he notes, Yoel Donchin is a good person to answer the question. Prof Donchin is the director of the Patient Safety Unit at the Hadassah Medical…

There is very little to say about this welcome initiative other than it takes a lot of courage to come out in favour of boycotting the society you live in. Just like White South Africans who supported the Boycott Movement, those few Israeli Jews who stood out will be remembered whilst the Liebermans and Netanyahus…

As the letter below from Scottish PSC says, it is truly shocking – but not at all surprising – that the ‘official’ i.e. government sponsored State Holocaust Remembrance Group has decided not to publish the events at which Hajo Meyer, a survivor of the Auschwitz death camp is speaking. What is Hajo’s offence? Drawing parallels…

Here is an excellent article by Tony Judt. Judt is someone who could be called a non-Zionist, a free-thinker who has rejected many of the accepted nostrums of Zionism. Unsurprisingly, he too has been accused by the misnamed Anti-Defamation League of anti-Semitism and a speech of his cancelled as a result of the efforts of…
