The Zionist Left is Dead

The Zionist Left, which has founded the State of Israel, has run out of answers, and more and more people in Israel realize that. Finally, after more than 60 years, all Jewish Israelis have to choose between Fascism and true Democracy.

Incoming IDF Chief Appointment In Doubt

The appointment of a new Chief of Staff to the Israeli Military is frequently an interesting event. The Chief of Staff, who is appointed by the Government according to the recommendation of the Minister of Defence, is the highest commanding officer in the Israeli Military, and as such receives his orders directly from the Minister of Defence, and is in charge of implementing them.

Israel is Preparing for a Prolonged Regional War

Ha’aretz newspaper in Hebrew reports that as a part of preparations for a prolonged regional war, Israel has recently lobbied the United States to purchase more weapons, including more precision-guided JDAM bombs for its air force. Israel has also requested that the US increase its emergency arsenals in Israel.

Political Aid to Gaza

The opponnents of the Freedom Flotilla to Gaza condemn it as a political provocation, and say that the activists on board are not humanitarians, but hypocritical Terrorists.

I agree that the Freedom Flotilla was indeed a political mission rather than a humanitarian one. As such, despite—or because of—its tragic climax it must be considered a success. This is not in any way a stain on either the activists’ characters or their motivations; rather it is a credit to their courage and wisdom.

The Need for an International Investigation

This morning I was tagged on a Facebook post entitled “EVIDENCE on[sic] IDF SHOOTHING[sic] before ENTERING VESSEL.” It was a link to a video that has been recently released of the beginning of the assault on the MV Mavi Marmara. It appears that this video was shot after the Israelis jammed satellite communications on board the Turkish vessel, and that it had been somehow recovered later.

The Siege of Gaza

It has now been three years since Israel imposed its cruel and crippling siege of the Gaza Strip. I find it incredible, as a Jew and as a human being, that Israel—which calls itself the Jewish State—would blockade nearly a million and a half people in a small territory, effectively turning it into an enormous ghetto, periodically raid and murder them, and deprive them of a list of goods that seems to have been compiled for sadistic effect.

Who Delegitimizes Israel?

Israel has said that the Freedom Flotilla, a maritime convoy carrying 10,000 tons of much-needed aid for the destitute population of Gaza and around 750 international activists protesting Israel’s siege of the territory, is “a provocation intended to delegitimize Israel.” If that were a just characterization, then the Flotilla would be unnessecary; it seems that Israel is doing a great job of delegitimizing itself.

Israel: A Democracy for Jews Only

I would like to start with a simple statement: a racially stratified, undemocratic, and warlike State isn’t good for anybody. It certainly isn’t good for those who get ground under the unsympathetic wheels of racial domination, or shot, blown, and burned by the fires of war. But neither is it good for those who benefit from enforced privilege or sit safe and secure in the bunker while the war is happening to someone else. Those who live by the sword will eventually die by the sword no matter how good their sword technology is, and those who live on the backs of others will end up consumed by their own cruelty and arrogance, no matter how long they themselves have previously been downtrodden.
