Another excellent article from John Pilger. Pilger is one of that very small band of journalists such as Robert Fisk, who don’t bend a knee to power. Whereas most journalists see their role as to mystify and beautify the ruling classes, Pilger tells it as it really is – the drones that operate without a…

Israel may be many things, but it isn’t a slouch when it comes to jailing refugees and asyum seekers. As Netanyahu made clear some time ago, Zionism doesn’t allow refugees to stay in Israel because they are not Jewish and would ‘dilute’ the racial purity of Israel if allowed to stay. Israel has enough ‘demographic…

One of the most nauseating aspects of the coverage of Syria is the pretence that the Arab League ‘peace mission’, led by a Sudanese war criminal, represents the good Arab states. Saudia Arabia is a by-word for brutal…

Intruding on Private Grief I must confess that intruding on a private spat within the Zionist Federation is like intruding on private grief of a family spat. But the temptation is too great! In Israel exercising free speech can gain you indefinite administrative detention if you live in the Occupied Territories. In Israel ‘proper’ it…

An excellent article reposted from Mick Hall’s Organised Outrage blog. It recalls the reaction of Britain’s yellow press to the massacre in Derry that was instantly christened ‘Bloody Sunday’ when the paratroopers went on the rampage killing 13 Catholics in Derry. Their story was that they were fired upon but anyone with a sense of…

Peter Tatchell and Others Support Boycott, Divestment & Sanctions This letter from Peter Tatchell and other gay and Palestine solidarity activists is to be welcomed. It is certainly overdue.
