Unfortunately Barnardos weren’t able to provide ‘care’ and ‘support’ for those waiting in line to be gassed at Auschwitz The ads are deliberately designed to appeal to your emotions (& your pocket). Three sad and forlorn white children with the strap line ‘Help Exploited Children’ and ‘Watch our TV Ad’ – and just in case…

The Triumph of the Collective Good over Private Interest One of the few triumphs we have had since the Tory-Lib Dem Coalition took government in Britain in May 2010 has been the retreat over the privatisation of Britain’s woodland. When it was announced that our forests were going to be privatised there was uproar, even…

Defend Jonathan Hoffman – The Jewish Churchill We have had our disagreements outside the Israeli Embassy and Ahava over little things like the EDL lending their support to the Zionists and Israel.

It is one of a series of excellent conferences put on by the SOAS Palestine Society. The speakers are of the usual high class and I can personally recommend his book The Returns of Zionism…

A Happy end to a Quisling Site When Mary Rizzo’s ‘PeacePalestine’ site closed, she and Gilad Atzmon opened what was to be an up-market ‘think tank’ where the old silliness and obvious anti-Semitism would be consigned to the scrap heap. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be. For Gilad Atzmon anti-Semitism is a hard habit to kick.…
