The Rise of the New ‘Anti-Semitism’ I was invited as a guest on BBC1’s The Big Questions last Sunday, hosted by Nicky Campbell. The topic was the alleged rise of anti-Semitism. I must confess I hadn’t heard of the programme before. The programme, rather ambitiously, tackles 3 topics in a one-hour slot – and they…

Over the past 4 years the Campaign to Boycott Israel has grown by leaps and bounds. UNITE (T&G section) and UNISON have both endorsed the call, as has the Scottish and Irish TUCs. Even the British TUC has called for a boycott of the produce of Israeli settlements on the West Bank. You might think…

Good news from the chief economics editor and deputy editor-in chief of Yedioth Aharonot, Israel’s largest daily, Yediot Aharanot. Compared to 30 years ago, Israel is now a pariah in respectable society (as well as among trade unionists and all others fighting for justice!). After all who wants to share company with those who defend…

The bloody Islamic regime of Ahmedinajad, which together with its predecessors has murdered thousands of people, has taken another innocent life. Ehsan Fattahian was hanged yesterday morning (November 11th). Having been tortured and refused to sign a confession his initial 10 year goal sentence was replaced by the death penalty. The barbarities of the present…

Yes it is almost becoming a regular feature. Another Rabbi says killing non-Jews is fine, even if they are innocent. But wasn’t that the Nazi idea in respect of Jews? They are all worthless, they will all grow up to be evil etc? Below is an article from Haaretz on this delightful character Rabbi Yitzhak…

As the Boycott message campaign spreads, so the Governors of Trondheim University in Norway vote on November 12th on whether to Boycott Israeli Institutions. The normal cries of ‘anti-semitism’ will of course be made but the reasons are quite clear – the racism of Zionism and how Palestinians have become the institutional victims of systematic…

It is not often that an article is written which tackles head on all the ‘existentialist’ fears of a settler people, and debunks the myths that have been created about how the fierce hatreds etc. between the rulers and ruled will never allow a unitary solution whereby both live side by side.By looking at the…

The Boycott of Israel continues to grow as there is a growing acceptance that Zionist Apartheid is, if anything worse than its South African variant. I am please to say that Brighton has led the way with an action in the local Waitrose supermarket by the local Palestine Solidarity Campaign. Waitrose is one of the…

Atzmon Comes Clean When I wrote an article ‘Gilad Atzmon – Now an Open Holocaust Denier‘ a number of people took exception to my argument. He isn’t open about it they said and to an extent they were right. But my intuition was that Atzmon nonetheless had crossed the rubicon. This was confirmed when he…

Remember all the crap about ‘democracy’ the ‘wicked Saddam’ etc. etc. We on the left who pointed to minor matters like oil were dismissed as cynics. Didn’t we understand a higher purpose when we saw one? Fools like Christopher Hitchens, the ex-leftist neo-con Vanity Fair contributer, became one of the chorus of apologists for Bush’s…
