Celebrating Genocide

A pivotal moment in the history of White colonisation of the Middle East was reached last week, when Netanyahu presented his mate Donald Trump with the ultimate symbol of hatred, venality and state-sanctioned terrorism. The gold-plated pager was mounted trophy-like on a decorative wooden base – either Cedar of Lebanon or Lebanese Olive wood –… Continue reading Celebrating Genocide

Welcome to Davos, and the Business of Killing.

TWENTY TWO YEARS ON, TONY BLAIR with ZAID AL ATTAR in DAVOS

If it were possible to die from cognitive disjunction, there would be few of us left to record the true course of recent events. And if the snapshot above doesn’t cause you some sort of paroxysm, welcome to your new world of invented reality! The extraordinary meeting between Britain’s notorious war criminal ‘Sir’ Tony Blair,… Continue reading Welcome to Davos, and the Business of Killing.

Whose Ceasefire?

GAZA RETURNING HOME

Al Jazeera’s senior political correspondent Marwan Bishara gave this interview as the Gaza ceasefire deal was being announced, with a realistic appraisal of what may be expected from war criminals and fascists in charge of the Zionist state and its army. Bishara has been providing perceptive and considered commentary on ‘Israel’s’ war on Gaza since… Continue reading Whose Ceasefire?

Israel emulates ISIS; Baalbek.

Baalbek Temple of Bacchus

While waiting in Beirut for a visa to enter Syria in May 2018, we took advantage of the free time to visit Baalbek, which had only recently reopened to tourists. Terrorist groups had been ensconced in Arsal not far to the north for some years, but had finally been forced out by a combination of… Continue reading Israel emulates ISIS; Baalbek.

Israel emulates ISIS; Palmyra

Palmyra at sunset 2010

Back in 2015, a convoy of ISIS vehicles headed south from their base in Raqqa towards the ancient Roman city of Palmyra and the small town of Tadmor that serves this World Heritage treasure. The town also housed a Syrian government prison and army garrison – which was the ostensible target of the takfiris, but… Continue reading Israel emulates ISIS; Palmyra

Hateful Ideologies

It’s an expression we’ve heard a lot since Hamas fighters broke out of the Gaza concentration camp a year ago, and most recently repeated following the killing of Yahya Sinwar in Rafah. This coward’s murder of the Resistance leader, referred to by the Murdoch Australian as “elimination” has empowered both the murderers and their quarry,… Continue reading Hateful Ideologies

The Al Aqsa Inferno

Giving the lie to ‘Israel’s’ initial collaboration in the Polio vaccination campaign, where self-interest and PR were its only concerns, the IOF targeted the tent encampment next to Al Aqsa martyrs hospital on the day the second round of vaccine was being given to children in another part of the hospital. Several missiles, apparently containing… Continue reading The Al Aqsa Inferno

Rallying for the Resistance, October 6th Melbourne

RALLY FOR LEBANON

Below is an article I wrote and submitted for publication on P&I, which is now a little passe’ – given the rate of changes taking place, along with the festival of hate over October 7th that made support for Hezbollah or Hamas a crime against humanity. I just publish it now for the record, as… Continue reading Rallying for the Resistance, October 6th Melbourne

Israel’s Incendiary Lies

RAFAH INFERNO

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

Collateral Genocide

WRECKED CARS from SUPERNOVA FESTIVAL

Some of the first images to appear following the Al Qassem brigades’ October 7th invasion of ‘Israel’ showed dozens of destroyed vehicles around the site of the Nova Sukkot festival, without any explanation of why they were crashed and abandoned or who was in them. Later these cars were collected together as seen above in… Continue reading Collateral Genocide
