Over a year ago I wrote “Kidnapping Rules”, following ‘Israel’s’ blatant refusal to follow them, and the supine acceptance by ALL Western leaders and their media of this exceptionalist Zionist position. Referring to the Israelis taken hostage by the Palestinian Resistance in Gaza, of whom a group of women and older civilian men had recently… Continue reading Paying the Ransom

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
Whose Ceasefire?
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?
Syria’s Catastrophic Transition.
Only one thing would have been worse than the shocking news that Bashar al Assad had been driven to leave his home and country by a tide of barbarians – that he would suffer the terrible fate of Moammar Qadhafi, hunted down by French and British jets and finally butchered by a mob. It was… Continue reading Syria’s Catastrophic Transition.
Hama – a brief history.
On a visit to Syria in May 2010, one of the things that made the greatest impression on me was the sound of Hama’s ancient waterwheels. That is saying a lot, given it was after a visit to Palmyra – but there lies a connection, as these enormous wheels are actually Roman water pumps, lifting… Continue reading Hama – a brief history.
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
Rallying for the Resistance, October 6th Melbourne
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
We are all Hezbollah
“So what is Hezbollah?” they ask, posing the question to anyone who will confirm the Zionists’ claim it is a terrorist organisation, and dragging reluctant Lebanese into a war against Israel on Iran’s behalf. Such people are two-a-penny amongst the Western commentariat, but now as rare as hen’s teeth in Beirut, except perhaps in the… Continue reading We are all Hezbollah
The Paralysing of Humanity in Gaza
When it was first announced that there would be a vaccination campaign against polio in the Gaza strip, I could only think of Michael Leunig’s poignant cartoon, lampooning Australia’s heartless PM John Howard for his collaboration with the US in the murder of Iraqi children in 2003. He was reacting to one case in particular… Continue reading The Paralysing of Humanity in Gaza
Framing Russia as a Terrorist State; SBS plays midwife.
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.
