  • 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 […]

  • Tremors in MAGA: Joe Kent, the War on Iran, and the Antisemitism Smear

    Joe Kent, the now former US Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, always seemed a bit off, especially to liberals. As a combat veteran of MAGA pedigree, he found favour with President Donald J. Trump, who rewarded him for his conspiracy blustering in a manner befitting other nominees baptised in the truth repelling River of […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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.

  • 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 […]

  • For Me, a Jew, a Painful Truth: Israel Is a Perpetual Crime Against Humanity Masquerading as a Nation

    For Me, a Jew, a Painful Truth: Israel Is a Perpetual Crime Against Humanity Masquerading as a Nation

    I hold joint US/German citizenship due to the historical fact that my maternal family was stripped of their German citizenship by The Reich Citizenship act attendant to Nazi imposed Nuremberg Laws enacted in 1935. Subsequently, as the Third Reich consolidated power, by means of legalized state criminality, my family’s business interests and personal property were […]

  • 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 […]

  • The Radical Left Meets the Extreme Right

    In the last decades, Democracy has become “just another word,” a political force that allowed Wall Street financiers, corporate elites, and global speculators to siphon a major portion of the world’s wealth into their bank accounts. Rejecting neo-liberalism and globalism, the radical left and extreme right grow in popularity, each with competing visions of freedom, […]

    Review of No Neutrals There: US Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine

    In author Jeff Schuhrke’s own words: This book tells the story of why and how US labor became one of Israel’s most stalwart defenders and generous benefactors through the Zionist State’s tumultuous and controversial history. Importantly,  this is also the story of  Palestinian trade unionists and various  rank-and-file union members – including Arab-Americans, anti-Zionist Jews, […]
