  • 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 […]

  • 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 […]

  • Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Palestine Exception Defeated in Court

    Last Friday afternoon, Ontario Premier Doug Ford launched an attack on free speech, instructing his Attorney General to file an emergency injunction to prevent the Al-Quds Day march from taking place in Toronto. Ford’s action came just one day after his meeting with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, and Israel’s Consul General in Toronto, […]

  • Europe’s Criminalization of Palestine Solidarity

    When Israeli forces bombed Iran in June 2025, German Chancellor Merz praised them for doing “the dirty work for all of us.” His statement exposes the roots of Europe’s military, economic, and diplomatic support for Israeli genocide and regional aggression. To sustain their “business as usual” policy toward Israel, European governments are criminalizing Palestine solidarity. […]

  • Is “Parallel Left” U.S. Media-Funding Puffin Foundation Also Funding J Street “Lobby” Group?

    Most U.S. Antiwar Movement organizers and U.S. Antiwar Movement supporters in the current decade are opposed to the U.S. power elite government’s bi-partisan policy of continuing to ship weapons to the genocidal Israeli war machine in 2026. And most U.S. Antiwar Movement organizers and U.S. Antiwar Movement supporters in the current decade support the Palestine […]

  • 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 […]

  • Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society

    I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” completely out of the blue. “Why don’t you turn your attention sometimes to the genocidal intent of the radical Muslims, or does that suit your racist narrative?” reads one tweet. “What can you say about […]

  • 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 […]

  • Using the Slain: Israel Exploits the Bondi Beach Shootings

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, […]

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

    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, […]
