Bondi Beach Reappraised: A Turning Point in History
Writing an article that references the murders of innocent people is difficult. Concerns of invading privacy, of not being sufficiently empathetic to the tragedy, and of clumsily using the deceased for undeserved purposes hampers the narrative. By treading softly and expounding sincerely, the screams of anguish heard at the Bondi Beach massacre diminish, the reverberations […]

Scott Morrison in Israel
Australia’s former Prime Minister and faithful Pentecostational conference on combating antisemitism held between January 26 and 27 at Jerusalem’s International Convention Center, ambitiously titled Generation Truth. The December 14, 2025 attack by two ISIS-inspired gunmen on those attending a Hanukkah event on Sydney’s Bondi Beach had supplied him with a hot script. Australia’s Albanese government […]

Israeli Propaganda: Their Hasbara Instruction Manual
“A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes” (attributed to Mark Twain). [A misattribution. — DV ed] Israel’s image is now so badly damaged that it is desperately stepping up its ‘hasbara’ (meaning propaganda and disinformation) programme on all channels, especially social media. In the past they’ve […]

The Trumpet Sounds Again
Before listening to Trump’s speech to the Knesset, I had no intention to write a summary of another soliloquy that praised Donald Trump.

Liberation of the Palestinians
Israel and its worldwide supporters are relatively few, maybe 50 million confined to the western world, compared to those who recognize the genocide of the Palestinian people, maybe 500 million throughout all continents. Despite the disparity in numbers, Israel and its followers have overwhelmingly controlled the information sources, media involvement, and government apparatuses throughout the […]

Moral Suicide
Western societies are committing moral suicide in Palestine. Collective suicide always is an ugly business to observe – especially when it’s your own country debasing itself. Yet, we seem unfazed. Indeed, we redouble our acts of inhumanity as if reiteration somehow normalizes the perversity of what we have done. The systematic insulating of ourselves from […]

Israel’s Battle Against Free Speech: The Shuttering of Al Jazeera
“Politics,” as the harsh, albeit successful German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck claimed, “is the art of the possible, the attainable – the art of the next best.” To that hould be added the stark awareness of being prudent, gingerly wise, appropriately cautious. Mind how you go in avoiding any foolishness on the way. Going after […]

Israel Faces Its Detractors
The Israel that many admired through a myopic lens has been brought into improved focus, a ruthless state that has similar characteristics to the Nazi state — virulent nationalist, irredentist, militarist, racist, repressive in occupied territories, ethnic superiority, thought control, and genocidal. One major difference between the Nazi Germany and apartheid Israel is that Nazi […]
