By Jeremy Salt Like Gallipoli, again, any attempt to control the Strait of Hormuz from land or sea or actually launch a ground invasion of Iran from the sea would seem doomed to defeat and […]
By Jeremy Salt Western governments have to recognize the dimensions of the threat they have created for themselves and their people by taking the side of the US and Israel in this war of aggression. […]
By Jeremy Salt It may turn out to be a nuclear war, or it may turn out to be the ultimately unavoidable final war for Palestine. It will certainly determine the future of the region […]
By Jeremy Salt Now we have before us the acid test that will decide the future of West Asia for the coming century. Millions of words are being spoken or written about a war that […]
By Jeremy Salt The savages are now lighting a fuse under the most sacred site of all, the Aqsa mosque. Israel always goes too far, but too far is never far enough for Israel. The […]
By Jeremy Salt Deborah Conway ‘supports’ Israel but does not ‘support’ genocide. Of course, she doesn’t. What monster could? Shortly after the Hamas attack of October 7, 2023, the Australian singer Deborah Conway told the […]
By Jeremy Salt A traveler from an antique land sees half-buried in the desert sand the massive stone legs of a statue and the shattered remains of a face, still stamped with a frown and […]
By Jeremy Salt Jeremy Salt argues that accusations of antisemitism are being weaponized in Australia to deflect from Israel’s genocide in Gaza, suppress Palestinian solidarity, and shield Zionist organizations and state policy from accountability. One […]
By Jeremy Salt Palestine connects with all of them. The human cost does not matter and never has mattered. This is the answer to the question ‘why don’t they do something?’ The cry went up […]
By Jeremy Salt Neither have any of the politicians and media commentators who abuse the anti-genocide demonstrators uttered one word of condemnation of Israel for the murder of tens of thousands of children. Australia is […]
By Jeremy Salt The genocide cannot be dealt with by constantly backing away from what needs to be said openly and honestly or by banning demonstrations by people justifiably horrified by the mass slaughter in […]
By Jeremy Salt At this stage, there is surely nothing new left to say about Israel. All has been said in the past 80 years. Even the current stage of the genocide is not the […]
By Jeremy Salt These figures indicate the end goal of Israel, which is the total physical, cultural and historic eradication of Palestine and the killing, or removal by other means, of all of its people. […]
By Jeremy Salt History teaches that the native, occupied, colonized, oppressed, never sleeps forever, is never asleep at all, but is watching and waiting. The latest US/Israeli plan for Gaza has just been approved by […]
By Jeremy Salt There is no destruction in Arab and Islamic history remotely to compare with what these ‘western’ barbarians and the genocidal state they have created in Palestine have done since 1918. While Israel […]
By Jeremy Salt This is the state that the racist ideology of Zionism has produced. The ‘west’ needs to wake up to what it has actually created. The absolute inhumanity the world has seen in […]
By Jeremy Salt Israel claims the ‘right’ to exist. In fact, states do not exist as of right and, for Israel to claim a right to exist is a bit rich, seeing that it has […]
By Jeremy Salt US President Trump’s ‘peace plan’ is yet another betrayal of Palestine for the benefit of Israel. Israel plans to take over the West Bank and Jerusalem and has no intention of letting […]
By Jeremy Salt Israel-friendly oligarchs want to control the political parties, media, etc., in order to control the narrative. Chaos abounds. In the US, the army is set into the streets of Chicago for no […]
By Jeremy Salt From the deceitful dealings which led to the partition of historic Palestine, Israel is flagrantly showing the world that it was taking everyone for a ride, all along. After the Peel Commission […]
By Jeremy Salt The fact that Israel could not exist, were the rights of the 1948 generation to be upheld, sidesteps the moral and legal arguments and in this context underlines the illegitimacy of a […]
By Jeremy Salt The world has laws and courts to punish criminal states, but they are never used against Israel, or the states, principally the US and the UK, that support Israel and have brought […]
By Jeremy Salt Trump was filled with grief, anger and shock at the assassination of Charlie Kirk, but not filled with anything at the mass slaughter of children in Gaza. There was a time, years […]
By Jeremy Salt Israel has shattered whatever faith people have in their governments, their institutions and the laws accumulated over the centuries to make the world a safer place. Israel is traumatizing millions of people […]
By Jeremy Salt On the basis of allegations only, the Iranian ambassador was expelled from “Australian soil,” as Albanese put it, yet Israel’s ambassador is still allowed to live on that same soil. On August […]
By Jeremy Salt In professional solidarity, Markson could have questioned Netanyahu about the journalists murdered in Gaza but she did not. We live in a ‘post-truth’ era. History has ended, according to Francis Fukuyama. Neither […]
By Jeremy Salt Zionism is a fanatical ideology in the first place but what is fanatical to anyone else is normal in Israel – as the current state of public indifference to the slaughter in […]
By Jeremy Salt The flurry of recognition of Palestinian statehood is performative politics. Unwilling to do anything to stop the genocide, the actors divert the attention of the audience by talking about something else. Politicians […]
By Jeremy Salt The time is long past for Israel to be asked. It has to be told what to do or face consequences that the ‘international community’ will not just threaten but is prepared […]
By Jeremy Salt He might be Turkiye’s man, America’s man, the Gulf states’ man, or Israel’s man, but he is definitely not Syria’s man. Sooner or later, the ‘Arab world’ will have to stand up […]
A recent New York Times made many claims about the ‘mass rape’ of Israeli women on October 7. But two leading Palestinian media organizations, The Palestine Chronicle and Friends of Palestine Network, conducted a joint investigation, the outcome of which resulted in the ‘The Black Dress’, a groundbreaking 18-minute documentary looking into allegations and the possible falsification of evidence.
