COMMENT

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Meditation Without A Method

What is taking place in Syria serves as a model of what to expect in the West Bank in coming months. All of this in mind, the annexation of the West Bank in the coming weeks or months is a real possibility.

Binoy Kampmark: The Strawman Of Antisemitism - Banning Protests Against Israel Down Under

The beneficiaries in all of this are the noisy, bellicose members of the pro-Israel lobby, a divisive federal opposition keen to capitalise on hatreds it claims not to have, and the State of Israel itself.

Israel today has arisen as a consequence of two millenniums of antisemitism in its various Christian forms. Israel is a nation-state which must abide by the same rules as any other nation state. Criticism of Israel is not antisemitism; it's criticism of the way that nation-state projects itself across the wider world.
