  • The more definitive the proof of Israeli atrocities, the less they get reported

    The coverage of Israeli soldiers pushing three Palestinians off a roof in the West Bank town of Qabatiya – it’s unclear whether the men are dead or near-dead – is being barely reported by the western media, even though it was videoed from two different angles and a reporter from the main US news agency […]

  • Failed Machismo: Israel’s Pager Killings

    With each ludicrously diabolical move, Israel’s security and military services are proving that they will broaden the conflict ignited when Hamas breached the country’s vaunted security defences on October 7.  Notions such as ceasefire and peace are terms of nonsense and babble before the next grand push towards apocalyptic recognition. The pager killings in Lebanon […]

  • At what point are we permitted to…?

    At what point are we permitted to…?

    Five questions, and a sixth: 1. At what point does it become irresponsible not to compare Israel’s slaughter of the Palestinian people with the genocide westerners know best: the Nazi Holocaust? 2. At what point does shielding Israel from the revulsion its actions naturally inspire not turn into complicity? 3. At what point should western […]

    Israeli Torture Chambers Aren’t New; They Are What Provoked the Violence of October 7

    For many years I lived just up the road from Megiddo prison in northern Israel, where new film of Israeli guards torturing Palestinians en masse has been published by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. I drove past Megiddo prison on hundreds of occasions. Over time I came to barely notice the squat grey buildings, surrounded by watch […]

Cameron sat on that information […]

Well, that may be […]

  • A Return to Form: Expediting US Arms to Israel

    Despite much grandstanding in the Biden administration about halting specific arms shipments to Israel over feigned concerns about how they might be used (inflicting death is the expected form), US military supplies have been restored with barely a murmur.  In a report in Haaretz on August 29, a rush of weapons to Israel has been […]
