  • 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 […]

    In the Time of the Open Secret: Palestine and the Fundamental Choice of Our Era

    “Imperialism is capitalism in that stage of development in which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital has established itself; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun; in which the division of all territories of the globe among the […]

  • Extending the Cultural Boycott of Apartheid South Africa to Israel

    I have been informed by the leadership of what might best be described as the “black consciousness movement” of Azania (South Africa) that a formal call to include Israel in the “cultural boycott” of South Africa will be issued from inside South Africa within the next few weeks. The Black Consciousness Movement was started under […]

    The Real Culprit?

      “Max Blumenthal Reports: Charlie Kirk and the Israel Lobby!” Max Blumenthal (with Anya Parampil) investigates recent claims that Charlie Kirk, the high-profile conservative commentator and founder of TPUSA, had begun pushing back against pro-Israel influence—and as a result, was being pressured, intimidated, and even offered funding by Israeli leaders or wealthy Zionist backers in […]

  • A DSA Chapter Struggles With Zionism

    At its August 2025 biennial convention in Chicago, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) adopted a powerful resolution, “For a Fighting Anti-Zionist DSA“.  The resolution, which the 1200 delegates passed by 56 to 44 percent, has been recognized as a significant step forward for the organization.

  • Zionism: In the Words of the Leading Zionists and their Allies

    Nearly all of these quotes are gathered from the chapter epigraphs in the book, M. Shahid Alam, Israeli Exceptionalism: The Destabilizing Logic of Zionism (Springer: 2008). A few of the quotes are from non-Zionists. The sources for most these quotes can be found in this book.  Chosenness “Israel is not another example of the species […]

  • Yes, Foreign Agents Try to Shape Your Opinion about Israel

    The merging of Zionist propaganda and anti-China hysteria should embarrass its proponents, but apparently there’s a market for this conspiratorial drivel in the “post-truth” era promoted by the far right. They want us to believe the paid foreign agents we should be concerned about are students in $40 tents calling for university divestment, not those […]

    On the Use and Misuse of the Term “Jewish supremacist”

    Should a person who defends and promotes a state that actively endorses Jewish supremacy be called a Jewish supremacist? In the recent Globe and Mail commentary “Canada must rethink its friendship with Israel” establishment commentator Thomas Juneau noted that the current hard-right Israeli government “includes Jewish supremacists”. In response Norman Levine tweeted, “the term ‘Jewish supremacists’ borders on antisemitism. I’m shocked the editors at Globe and Mail allowed an […]
