  • Modern Day Israel: A Poisonous Concoction for Most Outsiders

    Modern Day Israel: A Poisonous Concoction for Most Outsiders

    Think of modern day Israel as a bowl filled with a mixture of ingredients, a few complementary, like salt and pepper. Other ingredients, however, like the intermingling of Zionism and Talmudic Judaism, while favorable to many family members who grew up among its ranks, it proves unpalatable for most outsiders. Mixed together, the concoction grows […]

  • Left response to antisemitism should be to call for BDS

    There’s been much debate on the left around the world about how best to respond to what appears to be rising antisemitism. What, if anything, is the best response? Some argue, mostly correctly, that raising the subject amidst Israel’s genocide in Gaza, bombing many of its neighbours, etc., is an attempt to deflect attention away […]

  • 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 […]

  • Dancing with European Nationalism: Israel’s Generation Truth Antisemitism Conference

    Held between January 26 and 27 at Jerusalem’s International Convention Center and called Generation Truth, the second international conference on combating antisemitism was a picture of cracking contradictions. Organised by Israel’s Minister for Diaspora Affairs and Combating Antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, it featured speakers from various far-right groups, many European, and saw Australia’s former Prime Minister […]

  • The Runaway Train of State-Sanctioned Murder

    The Runaway Train of State-Sanctioned Murder

    So it has come to this: ICE Gestapo agents claim, without a judge’s order, they are permitted to enter houses at their fascist whim. Are they taking lessons from the Israeli Defense Forces now? Moreover, the present criminal class of MAGA authoritarians are at liberty to transport the officialdom killer out the reach of accountability […]

  • Bondi Beach Massacre

    The aftermath of a crime has five objectives — define the crime and its extent, find out who did it, learn the motive, convict the assailant(s), and ascertain a method to prevent similar crimes. The Bondi Beach massacre has been defined and the assailants identified. Similar to other instances when Jews are victims, speculation replaces […]

  • The Politics of Premature Adjudication: The Bondi Royal Commission

    Royal commissions are often held to confirm the obvious and squeak for modest change. They offer no binding remedies, have no compellable powers against the government of the day, and can, despite claiming to be independent, be susceptible to interest groups. They are also expensive, laborious, often lengthy, and serve as a pacifying agent, absorbing pressure and […]

  • Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

    Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

    Western establishments’ fear of the phrase “Globalise the intifada” has little to do with any danger supposedly posed to Jewish populations from its use. The threat is posed by the slogan’s central idea, not by some specific target. “Globalise the intifada!” is the modern equivalent of “Power to the people!” – a slogan long used […]

  • End Stage Zionist Hasbara And Its Trolls: The Israel as victim canard, it’s all over but the shouting

    A significant number of Zionist trolls plaguing the comment sections of my posts were, as I was, raised on Zionist hasbara i.e., outright lies. As I grew up, and later visited Israel, I was repulsed, as the son of a Holocaust survivor, by the Third Reich-adjacent mindset of Israelis; by their by-rote bigotry; by the […]

    Without the Persians/Iranians There Would Be No Jews

    Cyrus’s Cylinder. Photo: dynamosquito. Licensed CC-BY-SA. Twenty-five year ago, give or take, I asked myself a rather straightforward question – “Why is it seemingly impossible to have peace in the Middle East?” After expending a quarter century in research, shedding blood, sweat and tears in the process, I believe I found the answer to my […]
