In answer to the letter I received from Starmer's office, I thought I'd pass on to it a letter I wrote in January 2022 but for some reason never sent. This is the letter, which I prefaced in my email with the comment that since their letter failed to address any of the questions which … Continue reading MY RESPONSE TO THE LETTER FROM KIER STARMER’S OFFICE REGARDING HIS FAILURE TO CALL FOR AN IMMEDIATE CEASEFIRE IN GAZA.

WHERE IS ISRAEL’S NESHAMA?
I have taken this from my Facebook page, posted in January 2022. I am sharing it now because current circumstances encourage me to do so.It is a useful example of how too many Israeli Jews all too often think and of what they have been taught. They have been subjected to Hasbarah all their lives, … Continue reading WHERE IS ISRAEL’S NESHAMA?
RESPONSE TO MY EMAIL TO KEIR STARMER
This is the letter I got from the Labour Party in response to my letter to Kier Starmer which began with these words: ‘Sir, I am writing this letter to express my personal disgust at your incomprehensible support of Israel in its war against Palestine and its entire people. Your position does not befit the … Continue reading RESPONSE TO MY EMAIL TO KEIR STARMER
ISRAEL’S CURRENT PALESTINIAN POLICY MADE SIMPLE
Here is a handy summary of Israel's position in response to the world-wide calls for a cessation of the bombing of Gazan refugees and the settler's violent insurgence into the West Bank: 'Israel is not interested in a negotiated peace. Nor will Israel accept criticism of its current actions in relation to Palestine. Israel has … Continue reading ISRAEL’S CURRENT PALESTINIAN POLICY MADE SIMPLE

AN ENGLISH JEW PRAYS FOR PALESTINE

IF HAMAS IS WRONG, HOW CAN ISRAEL BE RIGHT?
Witnessing what is happening in Israel and Palestine is deeply saddening and profoundly angering. We are confronted by a terrible act carried out on behalf of the whole Palestinian people by an organisation which does not have the support of the whole Palestinian people. Its callous viciousness, its complete rejection of the general call amongst … Continue reading IF HAMAS IS WRONG, HOW CAN ISRAEL BE RIGHT?
Liz Truss: A Cynic’s View
I tried. I really did try to listen Liz Truss's leadership acceptance speech, But I couldn't do it. In some pain, I listened to her (she has the charisma of a hand-puppet) right up to the point where she described the Tory Party as 'the greatest party on Earth', having only just heard her also … Continue reading Liz Truss: A Cynic’s View
ZIONISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM: HOW LOGICAL IS THE ZIONIST VIEW?
(I started this piece as a satire, with a sense of irony; but now I read it through I realise it makes my point in a quite unsatirical way. Its central thesis, that Zionism makes no sense, must be clear, if not agreeable, to everybody, and those who espouse the Zionist cause, should any read … Continue reading ZIONISM AND ANTI-SEMITISM: HOW LOGICAL IS THE ZIONIST VIEW?
