Last Straw

Neda Agha-Soltan is a young women from Iran who was shot dead while protesting against repression in Iran. She has a page on Wikipedia. Photos and video and of her death have been widely broadcast by the Western media, with copious amounts of faux sympathy.
She deserves our sympathy because she appears to be a victim [...]

Join Naomi Klein, Neve Gordon, Noam Chomsky and thousands of others and tell Israel not to jail Ezra Nawi, one of Israel’s most courageous human rights activists.
His crime? He tried to stop a military bulldozer from destroying the homes of Palestinian Bedouins in the South Hebron region.
Nawi, a Jewish Israeli of [...]

Groups of people all over the world calling themselves “news organisations,” such as The Times, continue to spread myths about Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, such as that he called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” or that he denies the Nazi Holocaust.

Arabic press on Israeli elections:
Mazin Hammad in Qatar’s Al-Watan
Regardless of who will win, the differences between the right, left and centre [of Israel's politics] are not clear for those who closely watch the election from outside. They all pounce on Palestinian blood.
Rashid Hasan in Jordan’s Al-Dustur
The victory of extremists, with [Likud Party leader Benjamin] Netanyahu [...]

Gideon Levy, writing for Haaretz:
Netanyahu would offer something else. First, he is a faithful representative of an authentic “Israeli” view – an almost complete distrust of Arabs and the chance of reaching peace with them, mixed with condescension and dehumanization. Second, he will finally arouse the world’s rage towards us, including that of the new U.S. [...]

It surprises me to the degree that many people lose their moral compass over Israel. We’ve come to expect it from Israelis; currently they’re promising to protect their war criminals from international prosecution over their recent massacre of Gazans.
But, then there’s people like Mark Thompson, the BBC’s director general, who has been instrumental in the BBC’s [...]

An international boycott against Israel, not unlike that against Apartheid South Africa, finally looks to be gaining traction.
Naomi Klein has made a good case as to why is long past time and reports in Israeli media indicate that, since Israel’s recent massacre of 1300 Palestinians, the boycott is starting to have an effect.
