  • For Crazed Pro-Israel Crowd even Trudeau is an Antisemite

    “Justin Trudeau is and always has been an antisemite”, according to Canada’s former ambassador to Israel. While Vivian Bercovici has staked out an extreme position, other commentators have expressed some variation of this perspective since the PM expressed opposition to killing of babies. In a statement in which he repeatedly condemned Hamas and failed to […]

  • The “Great Beast” Stirs as Palestine Explodes

    We are witnessing the sick relationship between the United States and Israel. — Egyptian podcaster Rahma Zain The outpouring of support for Palestine around the world in recent weeks has been a very encouraging sight. Dotted with signs calling for “Freedom For Palestine,” “Ceasefire Now,” and “We Are All Palestinians,” protests burst forth in London, […]

  • 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 […]

  • Israel Is Now the Greatest Source of Anti-Semitism

    On October 28, Craig Mokhiber, the Director of the New York Office of the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights, wrote to the U.N.’s High Commissioner for Human Rights (UNHCHR) in Geneva (and I here, in boldface, add a few links for documentation of some of his assertions): This will be my last official communication […]

  • 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 […]

  • Yes, There is an Israel Lobby, as any Decent Journalist Knows

    Is the idea of a “highly organized Israel lobby” antisemitic? An apartheid-promoting Globe and Mail columnist claims as much. In attacking the Canadian Union of Public Employees for standing in solidarity with Palestinians Robyn Urback tweeted, “Points for alleging a Jewish conspiracy, but if CUPE really wanted to go full antisemitic trope, they should have mentioned […]

  • 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 […]

  • Blue Light, Green Blood: Edifice Politics for Israel

    It has been a few days of slaughter-filled accounts. Starting on October 7 on the Jewish day of Simchat Torah, the State of Israel has faced assaults from hundreds of Hamas militants. Directed from southwards in the country, the mayhem has rattled the security and intelligence establishment smugly convinced in their reading of Palestinian motivations […]

  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]
