  • An Epistle to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

    An Epistle to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

    Dear Bobby, As you know, I have supported your bid for the presidency even before you declared last spring.  I have admired and believed in you for years, and when you entered the race I felt hope for the first time in decades that your non-violent impulses, honed by your tragic family history and a […]

  • 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 […]

  • Jonathan Freedland’s Enduring Bad Faith

    Jonathan Freedland’s Enduring Bad Faith

    Will the Guardian’s Jonathan Freedland ever write a column on Israel that doesn’t rehash dishonest, Zionist talking-points that were discredited decades ago? It would be too tedious to deal with most of the misdirections in his latest contribution. Let’s just pull out the final sections of his column, italicised, and then point out the ahistorical, […]

  • 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 […]

  • Edwin Montagu, the Only Jew in the UK Cabinet, Opposed the Balfour Declaration and Called Zionism “a mischievous political creed”

    Edwin Montagu, the Only Jew in the UK Cabinet, Opposed the Balfour Declaration and Called Zionism “a mischievous political creed”

    … while Lord Sydenham warned: “What we have done, by concessions not to the Jewish people but to a Zionist extreme section, is to start a running sore in the East, and no-one can tell how far that sore will extend.” It extends all the way to this horror-show 106 years later. What the latest […]

  • 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 […]

  • Canada and the NATO Alliance Hunker Down to Defend Race War Against Russia

    MOSCOW — North Bay, Ontario, is a small Canadian city of immigrants from Europe, their upwardly mobile children, and their children’s children. It’s the town where Yaroslav Hunka lives after he left the  British prisoner of war camp where he and other Ukrainian soldiers of the SS Waffen Grenadier Galician Division were held after the […]

  • 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 […]

  • Missionary Strategy for Social Engineering

    More than twenty years ago I published a study in which I argued that South Africa’s apartheid system was created by mission and land appropriation.1 This obviously implicated the Christian churches, including those that had claimed to be opposed to the British policy enshrined in the National Party programme when it came to power in […]

  • 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 […]
