  • Israeli propaganda officer boasted of taking UK Labour Students partying in Tel Aviv, deletes Tweet 18 January, 2012
    Since the story of the Labour party students officers who took an all-expenses-paid trip to Israel and its illegal West Bank settlements broke last week, they have been coming under increasing pressure from student activists.

  • Paul Flynn, BICOM and the nexus between Zionism and anti-Semitism 10 January, 2012
    Paul Flynn’s comments last month were misguided, but the main perpetrators of anti-Semitic ideas about “Jewish loyalty” are the Zionist movement and Israel. BICOM’s chief executive took part in a panel at a Zionist conference in November whose title reflected exactly the same idea. […]

    Palestine in Israeli School Books: Nurit Peled-Elhanan Alternate Focus recently conducted this interview with Israeli academic Nurit Peled-Elhanan. She is author of the forthcoming book “Palestine in Israeli School Books: Ideology and Propaganda in Education”, which I am hoping to review for EI. The interview is very much worth watching.
