It would appear that the Israeli army was determined to extinguish or expel every last Palestinian from Rafah when it launched its renewed military campaign in mid-March, so the last thing it wanted was to have civilian rescuers and paramedics coming in to try to save injured people. The plan – as illustrated in the… Continue reading One lie too far for Israel’s occupation army.

The Ides of Ramadan
Five days before the Persian spring festival of Noruz, the US-UK coalition launched an unprovoked bombing attack on Yemen, targeting resistance sites in Sa’ada and Taiz, Hodeidah port and the capital Sana’a. Although the date of this attack – the Ides of March – already suggested some significant advance planning, this was confirmed by the… Continue reading The Ides of Ramadan
The Imposter at the Arabian Table
At an emergency meeting of the Arab League in Cairo, convened following ‘Israel’s’ breaking of the ceasefire agreement on March 1st, there was an unexpected guest – the so-called ‘transitional president’ from Syria, Ahmed al Sharaa. For those who noticed the former leader of terrorist organisation HTS walking with the kings in Al Sisi’s flower-bedecked… Continue reading The Imposter at the Arabian Table
Paying the Ransom
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
