  • 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. Two Knesset members made the only sensible statement during the oration, by showing their distaste for the utterances and being escorted out of the chamber of horrors. Haim V. Levy, The Times […]

  • From There to Eternity

    I often wondered at the bewildering manner in which fellow Jews embrace a foreign nation and act against their own and their native country’s interests. Growing up in the Bronx, New York, in one of the largest and most homogeneous Jewish neighborhoods in the world, I encountered minor attachment to Zionism, even after Israel became […]

  • From Nazi Germany to US-Israel – Who Are the Real Untermenschen?

    From Nazi Germany to US-Israel – Who Are the Real Untermenschen?

    Matt Haig’s The Humans (2013) uses sci fi, ‘speculative fiction’, for what it does best: reveal to us how lethal human beings are and how we need to control technology before it turns us into monsters and reduces planet Earth to … Gaza. This time it’s a simple tale of the seductiveness of ‘going native’ faced with […]

  • Inadequate Responses Leading to Calculated Atrocities

    As the tragedy facing the Palestinians unfolds to an ultimate tragedy, we become aware of the true nature of the catastrophe, exhibiting unique elements that ponder our minds and disrupt our lives. (1) It is more than genocide. Can there be anything more than genocide? This is a slow burn; decades of daily horror and […]

  • Albert Einstein, Palestine and Israel Today

    Albert Einstein is one of the most famous and influential scientists of all time. His theories and equations regarding time, energy, space, and gravity are foundational to modern physics. Less well known, Einstein was a very political figure, with strong beliefs and a willingness to act on them. The book “Einstein on Israel and Zionism” […]

  • Zionism Untethered: Inside the Legal Battle for the Soul of UCT

    Up until now, a narrative has been pushed in the local and international right-wing press that the council of the University of Cape Town had chosen to wilfully sacrifice R750-million in donor funding on the altar of its so-called Gaza resolutions. But new court papers submitted by an anti-Zionist Jewish group, as well as previously […]

  • Public Funding of “Antisemitism Industrial Complex” Must End

    Historians aren’t going to believe this happened. All Canadians are paying a special envoy to lobby the police to exempt genocidaires from Canadian law. On Thursday Canada’s Special Envoy on Preserving Holocaust Remembrance and Combatting Antisemitism Deborah Lyons posted: Yesterday I spoke to the RCMP and confirmed that there is no investigation into Israeli Canadians. […]

  • Israeli Jews’ Love of Genocide

    Israeli Jews’ Love of Genocide

    The Golden Calf – Jewish Achilles Heel My first thought on seeing Peter Beinhart’s title — Being Jewish after the Destruction of Gaza: A Reckoning (2025) — was: Argh. More Jewish angst, holier-than-thou hand-wringing, but leading nowhere. Half-way through I had completely changing my mind. Angst, yes. But lots of meat to chew on, ok, […]

  • To Be a (REAL) Jew

    In 1988 I was travelling from NYC to Arizona by plane one night. It was a long 5 hour flight, and we were on a jumbo jet. I was standing alongside this man, early 40s perhaps, who said he was an Israeli engineer. During our conversation, I asked about his feelings on the Palestinian situation, […]

  • Committees of Correspondence

    Early in life, I learned of the deliberate manner by which Zionists confuse the public and frame the Middle East conflicts to favor them. Commentators have gone to great length to explain the “special relationship” between Israel and the United States, treating it as a unique affair, in which both benefit. This slogan is a […]
