The SBS news broadcast on August 10th covered two related events – an Israeli missile strike on a school beside a mosque in Gaza city which was sheltering hundreds of displaced people, and an alleged Russian strike on a Kostantinivka supermarket in Donetsk. The presentation of these two lethal strikes was quite different – giving… Continue reading Framing Russia as a Terrorist State; SBS plays midwife.

Too late to stop the war; not too late to lay the blame..
There is a danger that as the war against the Zionist occupation of Palestine spirals out of control, we will lose sight of why and how it started. In the heat of battle it may seem trivial to ask ‘who started this’ rather than focus on how to stop it. Some of course will say… Continue reading Too late to stop the war; not too late to lay the blame..
Creating the Pretext for War; a False Flag in the Golan.
When Israel’s military spokesman Daniel Haggari appeared just after a rocket hit the sports-ground in Majdal Shams on the 27th of July, his outrage over the killing of innocent children was hard to take. As many observers commented, he had shown no such outrage or even regret over Israel’s killing of 21,000 children in Gaza.… Continue reading Creating the Pretext for War; a False Flag in the Golan.
The Toxicity of Zionism..
In the recent meeting between President Netanyahu of Israel and President Biden of America, both men were keen to celebrate their “Zionism”, and unfaltering support for the “State of Israel”. This may be no great surprise, given Netanyahu had just received overwhelming support from Congress for his progress on ridding Palestine of its non-Zionist indigenous… Continue reading The Toxicity of Zionism..
The Last Shot at President Trump
Following the mass protest rally at the Washington Capitol on January 6th 2021, I wrote an article for American Herald Tribune which I called “the Last Shot at President Trump” – given all the previous attempts to get rid of him during his four years as US President. The illustration I used for the article… Continue reading The Last Shot at President Trump
Whose Missile?
Above is a comparison between the video shot of the missile that hit part of the Okhmatdyt children’s hospital in Kiev on Monday 8th July, with a view from Google Earth looking in the same direction – NORTH. This shows that the missile descended steeply towards its intended target following launch from somewhere WEST of… Continue reading Whose Missile?
Going Nuclear.
Current extreme tensions between the Lebanese Resistance and ‘Israel’ have the potential to lead to a violent explosion across all of West Asia. As Israel increasingly comes to realise it cannot prevail in this war, and may have to face the consequences of its extraordinary crimes, its incentive to ‘go nuclear’ is considerable, despite the… Continue reading Going Nuclear.
Russia’s Gauntlet
We seem finally to have reached the point of rupture and of no return – in WB Yeats’ words: “the falcon cannot hear the falconer – things fall apart, the centre cannot hold..” Things have also outpaced me, failing to finish and post this piece till now, when its message has been overlaid by a… Continue reading Russia’s Gauntlet
A girl with gold hair on the wind..
On the 16th of June 1904, 120 years ago today, the 22 year old James Joyce consummated his relationship with Nora Barnacle, somewhere on the streets of Dublin. Some twelve years later he enshrined this day in his epic novel ‘Ulysses’, recording the innermost thoughts of one Leopold Bloom as he traverses the old city… Continue reading A girl with gold hair on the wind..
Israel’s Incendiary Lies
The ability of Israeli leaders to tell lies is now legendary and pervasive – one could say ‘Israel’ is a country built on lies, and one whose status can only be maintained by covering those lies with more lies. In case some would say this is just words, and truth is relative, consider the simplest… Continue reading Israel’s Incendiary Lies
