Who are the genocidal war criminals?

August 17, 2025

The genocide in Gaza , the worst holocaust the world has suffered since the horrors perpetrated by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, continues. The evidence, relating to Gaza, and despite no formal ruling from the International Court of Justice, is clear in the action, words, orders and video clips of the results of the onslaught: […]

A land of legalised murder and theft

August 15, 2025

Israel has now become a state where Zionist murderers and thieves are not only tolerated, they are positively encouraged . But only if the victims are Palestinian and the crimes are committed in order to steal more , often good farming, land. In the recent past, there was usually at least a pretence of an […]

The only solutions to genocide & statehood

August 3, 2025

European recognition of Palestine is a hollow gesture that lets Israel off the hook. Without sanctions to stop the slaughter in Gaza, it’s not diplomacy – it’s complicity writes Gideon Levy in his latest (August 3, 2025) column in Haaretz International recognition of a Palestinian state rewards Israel, which should be thanking each and every […]

Iran – another Israeli failure?

June 16, 2025

Gideon Levy’s view of the ‘war” on Iran (Haaretz, 15/06/25) Israelis like wars, especially when they begin. There has not been a war yet which Israel – the entire country – has not rooted for at its onset; there has yet to be a war – other than the 1973 Yom Kippur War – that […]

Germany, Gaza and the Holocaust

June 7, 2025

GERMANY’S HOLOCAUST BETRAYAL By Gideon Levy in Haaretz, May 29, 2025 Germany has betrayed the memory of the Holocaust and its lessons. A country that saw its highest task as not to forget has forgotten. A country that told itself that it would never remain silent is silent. A country that once said “Never Again,” […]
