The Arab Spring - hello or goodbye to democracy?Alan Hart
November 27, 2011
Israeli democracy fades to black (the black of the blank screen at the end of a film). That was the headline over a recent article by Lawrence Davidson, an American professor of Middle East history. He argued that the suppression of the democratic rights of non-Jews in Israel is coming full circle with Prime Minister Netanyahu's Likudniks and settlers now targeting the rights of Jews as well.
An idiot's overview of why Western capitalism is crashingAlan Hart
December 11, 2011
The idiot of the headline is me in the sense that I am not an economist and have never had any formal association with study of the theory and practise of economics, but... I began to understand why what is today called Western capitalism was bound to crash way back in the early 1970's when I was researching and producing an epic documentary on the everyday reality of global poverty and its implications for all.
When is a terrorist not a terrorist? & War with Iran or not?Alan Hart
January 20, 2012
The longer and complete form of the first question in the headline is - When is a terrorist not a terrorist in the eyes of the Obama administration (not to mention all of its predecessors) and the governments of the Western world?
The Zionization of American politics and how it could be terminatedAlan Hart
January 20, 2012
The first headline I thought of for this article was The Zionization of American democracy and how it could be terminated, but then I said to myself: "Don't be silly, Alan, there's no democracy in the 'Land of the Free.'"
Is Holocaust II (shorthand for another great turning against the Jews) inevitable?Alan Hart
February 27, 2012
The Gentile in me believes this question needs to be addressed because there is a very real danger that the rising, global tide of anti-Israelism, which is being provoked by Israel's terrifying arrogance of power and sickening self-righteousness, will be transformed into anti-Semitism unless two things happen.
Netanyahu v Obama - What next?Alan Hart
March 27, 2012
The headline over an article in Ha-aretz by Bradley Burston on Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's poker game with President Obama was If Obama wins in November, is Netanyahu in trouble? That's a question I've had in my own mind for quite some time and it begs another. What, really, worries Netanyahu most - the prospect (not real) of Iran posing an existential threat to Israel or the prospect (real) of a second-term Obama?
Putting Palestine back on the agendaAlan Hart
April 18, 2012
By asserting that Iran is a threat to Israel's existence (a ludicrous assertion) and beating the drums for war with it, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has succeeded in getting Palestine off the political and mainstream media agenda and winning more time for Zionism to consolidate its occupation of the West Bank.
The lies about the 1967 war are still more powerful than the truthAlan Hart
June 29, 2012
In retrospect it can be seen that the 1967 war, the Six Days War, was the turning point in the relationship between the Zionist state of Israel and the Jews of the world (the majority of Jews who prefer to live not in Israel but as citizens of many other nations).
Israel's attack on the USS Liberty - The full storyAlan Hart
June 30, 2012
On Thursday 8 June 1967, Israeli air and naval forces attacked America's most advanced spy ship, the U.S.S. Liberty, killing 34 of its crew and wounding 174. The lesson of this cold-blooded, murderous attack was that there is nothing the Zionist state might not do, to its friends as well as its enemies, in order to get its own way.
EU's latest message to Israel - "Do your worst without fear of sanction by us"Alan Hart
August 7, 2012
The first question the headline begs is this: What is, or rather what could be, Israel's worst?
