Well the author of this blog has been even busier this week! Firstly a letter to The Guardian of 30th December 08, alongside Mike Barnes, pointing out the omission of any reference in the obituaries for Harold Pinter of his support for the Palestinians and opposition to Zionism, including the letter he and over a…

If Israel is able to engage in the genocide and rape of Gaza, then its accomplices are the rotten, brutal and corrupt Arab regimes in the Middle East. None are more rotten and corrupt than the regime of Hosni Mubarak in Egypt. After Israel, the Egyptian regime receives the second largest amount of aid from…

The death of over 200 people, at the time of writing, in Gaza is testimony to the murderous hypocrisy of the Israeli state and the Zionists. This is 30 times more than the numbers of people killed by the ‘rockets’ launched from the Gaza Strip. “Stop the Massacre in Gaza – Boycott Israel Now!” The…

With the death of Harold Pinter we have lost a giant. Not only of the theatre and cinema but a political and human giant. Awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2005 Pinter reached the heights of his profession yet he wasn’t content. Unable to attend, Pinter used his speech accepting the Nobel Prize, via…

Below are two stories from the Israeli press about the reaction of Jewish parents to the attempts by Arab/Palestinian parents to place their children in kindergartens.

To listen to some people the collapse of Bernie Madoff’s $50 billion dollar investment operation, in reality the world’s largest pyramid scheme, is the end of capitalism. Chance would be a fine thing. In fact it seems that…

Anyone who is an activist or anti-fascist knows of the Redwatch neo-Nazi site. It specialists in printing the names, addresses and photos of anti-fascist activists with the purpose of…

On various campuses, Hillel is launching campaigns to pull funding from PIRGs (Public Interest Research Groups) because of the strongstand taken by some PIRGs around the issue of Israeli Apartheid. Hillel launched a campaign to pull funding from QPIRG McGill and, although not directly linked to Hillel, there has been an online and on campus…

One of the key arguments against a ‘2 States’ solution to the Palestinian Question has been that this would provide an incentive for the Zionists to transfer Israel’s remaining 1+ million Palestinians into the bantustan (or in reality Palestinian Reservation). We should therefore thank Israel’s Foreign Minister and leader of the ‘moderate’ Kadimah for spelling…
