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
Welcome to Davos, and the Business of Killing.
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?
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?
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
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
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.
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..
