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

A Drop in the Ocean

Air Drop for Gaza

Following Israel’s “Leap year massacre”, when tanks and troops opened fire on thousands waiting for a food aid convoy for Northern Gaza, the stage was set for more ‘Air Drops’ onto the strip, and into the sea. As I suggested in my previous article, ‘On Gaza Beach’, this joint operation by the US and its… Continue reading A Drop in the Ocean

On Gaza Beach

CROWDS MEET AID CONVOY NEAR GAZA CITY

On the very day when Israel was ordered by the ICJ to submit a report on the measures it had taken to avoid acts of genocide since the court’s ruling on January 26th, Israeli tanks and soldiers opened fire on crowds gathered on Gaza’s ‘corniche’ – Al Rashid street – close to the heavily damaged… Continue reading On Gaza Beach

Dead and Buried Under the Rubble

RAFAH November 11th

“It is feared people are trapped under the rubble” – was the presenter’s solemn announcement following an earthquake in Japan on the first day of 2024. International aid agencies had offered assistance, while civil defence crews were busy searching in collapsed buildings for those trapped people. Back in February last year, one of the largest… Continue reading Dead and Buried Under the Rubble

When Atrocities are a Tragedy.

Rescue of a dead child

The widening gulf between those who condone Israel’s daily atrocities committed against innocent Palestinians and those who daily scream in pain and shout in anger against them, is reflected in a catalogue of divided language. Increasingly this language becomes a means of controlling the narrative, and restricting the viewpoint of the target audience to that… Continue reading When Atrocities are a Tragedy.

Witness to Genocide

FORCED EXPULSION, GAZA 18 NOVEMBER 2023

It was on this day that the world was witness to a crime against humanity almost without precedent – the forced clearance of a whole community from their land by a country’s army. After weeks of deprivation, thousands of terrified people were finally forced to leave their ruined homes and shelters, and marched south with… Continue reading Witness to Genocide

A Tale of Two Sieges.

Maternity hospital Azov battalion base

Two cities, Mariupol and Gaza, have been under siege, but only one is liberated. The besiegers, Kiev and Tel Aviv found common cause, as the Western coalition gave them money and weapons to fight for this cause against any comer. Both are colonial enterprises, set up to further the interests of the Empire, and constructed… Continue reading A Tale of Two Sieges.
