An Authoritarian Regime Takes Shape in Israel ‘The only democracy in the Middle East’ is determined to prove its detractors correct, as it continues the attack on anyone, in particular but not exclusively Palestinians, who challenge its naked racism. Ameer Makhoul and Omar Sa’id are but the latest victims. Those who argue for Ghandian-style passive…

Sometimes, as they say, life is stranger than fiction. Israel has outdone itself this time. It has expelled Prado, the notorious Spanish clown, for not disclosing his links with Arab terrorists. Refusing to crack after 6 hours interrogation the clown was clearly guilty and was therefore unceremoniously expelled from Israel. He had been hoping to…

My first memories of the JNF were of its ubiquitous blue box that most Jewish families had. It stood on the mantlepiece and was the recipient of one’s spare change. After all it was a charity, by definition a good cause, and didn’t we all know about what good work it did planting forests and…

Imagine it.

For the PFLP, socialism often takes the form of being…

An interesting article on the pressures to ensure that the Law of Return, the racist building block of Israeli Apartheid, is tightened up and Jews converted by the non-Orthodox and converts who have undergone an Orthodox conversion, would not be enough to guarantee Israeli citizenship. Thus one sees that the racism that Zionism has faithfully…

It is one of the hallmarks of a civilised society how children are treated. Israel demonstrates that when it comes to the children of Palestinians then their treatment is little different from those of adult Palestinians. Children of 12 are tried and sentenced as adults, they are subject to torture and mistreatment, their parents can’t…

If anything testifies to the nature of Israeli Apartheid it is the fact that half a million Israeli settlers (including East Jerusalem) use more water than the 2½+ million Palestinians in the West Bank. Settlers use over 17 times as much water per capita as Palestinians. The articles below illustrate some aspects of this grand…
