One of the best sources of information about the corruption of the American political system by pro-Israel funding sources is the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs produced by the American Educational Trust.

A tarnished declaration. With its proclamation on July 4, 1776 of the rights of nations and of individuals, the American Declaration of Independence, claimed :“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.”This Declaration, one of the highpoints of the European Enlightenment, is tarnished.

Bear Creek Massacre Jan. 29, 1863 Smithsonian National Postal MuseumDevastation and genocide go together. Netanyahu’s enthusiasm for Trump’s suggestion that Gaza become a real estate development for his oligarchs, makes Israeli aims obvious. The Israelis, many of whom come from the USA, appear to have brought with them the colonial prejudices of their homeland.

Israel's Far-Right Government deepens ties with European fascists, reviving a history of troubling alliances, writes Bilal Cleland. WITH the lurch towards open white supremacy in the imperial homeland, signalled by the abolition of diversity, equity and inclusiveness policies, aped by the more sycophantic corporations, the ethnonationalism of the Gvir-Netanyahu Government of Israel has been unleashed.

With the lurch towards open white supremacy in the imperial homeland, signalled by the abolition of Diversity Equity and Inclusiveness policies, aped by the more sycophantic corporations, the ethno-nationalism of the Gvir-Netanyahu government of Israel, has been unleashed. The mass murder following Israeli abandonment of the ceasefire in Gaza has been accompanied by open courting of the rising fascist movement in Europe, cheered on by President Musk.

Zionist propaganda tries to extend the historical antisemitism of Europe to the Muslim world and make it into a centuries-long horror, writes Bilal Cleland.
AUSTRALIA HAS BEEN hit by a series of antisemitic incidents in recent months, against Jewish property, against individuals and there was a terrible threat of a mass murder of members of the Jewish community from a caravan with enough explosives to reach a diameter of four metres, according to Opposition Leader Peter Dutton.

For those who have even a cursory knowledge of the history of the Liberal party and its predecessor the United Australia party, Dutton’s attempt to pose as defender of all things decent and the local Jewish community, is amusing. Senator James Paterson of IPA origins lead the Liberal party crusade against section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act which makes it illegal to offend, insult or humiliate someone because of their race. This was when refugees and Muslims were being vilified.

A campaign by right-wing Liberals such as James Paterson and Josh Frydenberg to link Muslims with Nazis and anti-genocide demonstrations to antisemitism is on shaky ground, writes Bilal Cleland.
The graffiti on the Sydney synagogue is an attempt to link Hitler and Islam. It reads, 'Hitler on top' and below that, 'Allah', then 'huabkar', suggesting someone unaware of the phrase.
Obsession with Hitler is not a Muslim characteristic.

CAPTION: Migrtant workers are vital for agricultureThe situation for the Israeli government aligning itself with Trump should give it cause for concern in the long run. Pumped up by its bombing of Beirut, its taking of land inside the border of Syria, its truce with Hezbollah and its candidate winning the presidency, it now feels mighty. It has devastated Gaza, leaving the survivors without shelter or medical facilities.

Donald Trump's second presidential administration is likely to be stacked with the kind of people who will make America far from anything great, writes Bilal Cleland. AS THE UNITED STATES begins its decline, with its withdrawal from Eurasia, the inability to maintain its leadership role in Europe and growing Chinese dominance in central Asia, it has resorted to the theatrical politics of Donald Trump.
