Auschwitz gas chamber – above There is nothing more guaranteed to anger apologists for Israel’s works and its soft-left ‘critics’ then any comparison with the Nazis. This is ‘insulting to Jews’. It is defined by the European Monotoring Committee as ‘anti-Semitism’ – something adopted by Dennis MacShanes joke of a Parliamentary Committee on anti-Semitism. I…

As I have already documented, Israel’s Orthodox Rabbinate has been in the forefront of providing the ideological and spiritual justification for the worst of the barbarities in Gaza. Former Sephardi Chief Rabbi, Mordechai Eliyahu and his son, Chief Rabbi of Safed, have justified any amount of war crimes by declaring that the civilian population of…

It is now very clear that the last reason the BBC didn’t want to show the Appeal for Gaza was because of the danger of its independence being compromised. Indeed the exact opposite is the case. It is precisely because the film shows at least some of the devastation of Gaza that the BBC has…

‘The Nazis boycotted Jewish shops and Histadrut boycotted Arab produce Histadrut recognises the urgent need for the State of Israel to operate against the command and control structures of the organisational terror network belonging to Hamas… No democratic country in the world would allow its sovereignty to be violated and its citizens subjected to terror…

The BBC was born in the womb of the British establishment. Those with an eye to history will know that during the General Strike in Britain in 1926 the BBC refused to broadcast an appeal by the Archbishop of Canterbury appealing for an amicable settlement.

An amazing thing is happening. For the first time ever students have gone into occupation over the question of Gaza. This is unprecedented. Never before has the Israel/Zionism issue provoked student demonstrations and direct action, not even at the height of the Lebanese War in 1982. Students in the past have been deterred by the…

Indict Olmert, Lipni and Barak as War CriminalsThese are the results of the bombing of an UNRWA School in Beit Lahia. Two children died, others are horrifically injured These are some of the most horrific images one can imagine. White phosphorous ignites spontaneously above 15C and burns at 1300C. It causes horrific burns and water…

A rare description on Israeli TV from a Palestinian doctor whom the Israel Occupation Forces tried to murder by bombing his house. They killed his 3 daughters again. His crime? Rescue and publicity. No doubt we will here later that there were Hamas snipers in the building hence the bombing from the air! Tony Greenstein…

These photographs, which of course aren’t an exact comparison, show the fact that in terms of methodology, there isn’t much to choose between the Nazi and Zionist attitude to Palestinian children.

And to think that over 20 years ago I heckled him at a meeting! In fact Kaufmann makes it pretty clear that he is still a romantic Zionist who sees the old Labour Zionists like Yigal Allon in a different light to the current pygmies. He is wrong in that respect. Allon laid the blueprint…
