  • A Moral Principle: Denounce the Bigotry of In-Group Members before Criticizing the Bigotry of Out-Group Members

    Contempt for the Arab population is deeply rooted in Zionist thought. — Noam Chomsky, The Fateful Triangle: The United States, Israel and the Palestinians, 1983, 2015. This is the holiday season for various groups of people. Some people will celebrate Xmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, etc during the winter season. Others will celebrate just because celebrating is […]

  • Statement to the Paris Peace Conference (WWI) re Zionism

    A Statement to the Peace Conference1 “As a future form of government for Palestine will undoubtedly be considered by the approaching Peace Conference, we, the undersigned citizens of the United States, unite in this statement, setting forth our objections to the organization of a Jewish State in Palestine as proposed by the Zionist Societies in […]

  • For Crazed Pro-Israel Crowd even Trudeau is an Antisemite

    “Justin Trudeau is and always has been an antisemite”, according to Canada’s former ambassador to Israel. While Vivian Bercovici has staked out an extreme position, other commentators have expressed some variation of this perspective since the PM expressed opposition to killing of babies. In a statement in which he repeatedly condemned Hamas and failed to […]

  • Marching with the Multitudes Protesting the Siege on Gaza

    Marching with the Multitudes Protesting the Siege on Gaza

    Tens of thousands rallied in San Francisco on October 28 to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and then marched to disrupt traffic on the freeway to get the attention of an otherwise inattentive press. That demonstration joined multitudes globally protesting the on-going genocide. Signs read, “You can’t hide genocide.” “Genocide Joe” placards connected the dots […]

  • Zionism: An Ideology for the Self-Loathing

    When I told my grandmother that I was going to visit Europe for the first time, she exploded, “Oy vey!” Raising her voice, she exclaimed: “There’s nothing there! NOTHING! Just poverty and filth.” Collecting herself, she added: “You like foreign food? There’s better in New York.” For her generation of Jews, there was little nostalgia […]

  • Yes, There is an Israel Lobby, as any Decent Journalist Knows

    Is the idea of a “highly organized Israel lobby” antisemitic? An apartheid-promoting Globe and Mail columnist claims as much. In attacking the Canadian Union of Public Employees for standing in solidarity with Palestinians Robyn Urback tweeted, “Points for alleging a Jewish conspiracy, but if CUPE really wanted to go full antisemitic trope, they should have mentioned […]

  • Israel and Palestine

    This writer has been a student of the Holocaust since childhood, with my Poem/Plaque “Never Again” in the Wiesenthal Holocaust museum in Los Angeles. I recently found out, through Ancestry, that I am 12.5% Jewish, but that should not matter at all. Basically, one’s sensitivity is either there or not. Another case in point regarding […]

  • Speechless in Minneapolis

    Criticizing the ethnonationalist apartheid state of Israel comes with risks. For nearly a decade I’ve received hate mail after calling out Israeli political practices on social media and in newspapers. One retired police officer from the Bronx said he’d be happy to beat me up if I ever came to NYC and another smart-aleck suggested […]

  • Goodbye to Political Zionism, Hello to Religious Zionism

    The meteoric rise of the Religious Zionists, a sleight of hand that outdoes master Netanyahu, surprises everyone and delights few. How did this happen, who let it happen, and what can be done after the entrenchment of those who hold a prayer book in one hand and a rifle in the other hand? What happened […]

  • Irredentism and the Palestinian Crisis

    Elements of Settler Colonialism appear in the Middle East crisis and these elements have been fitted together to obtain the accepted definition. The term is ominous; previous Settler Colonialism operations ended by either indigenous people regaining lands and dignity, as in the African nations, or evolving into the destruction of native people, as occurred in […]
