I checked Engage a few times today to see how they would inevitably misrepresent Anthony Lerman's article in yesterday's Independent. They got round to linking to it but the original post, by "professional sociologist", Dr Hirsh contained only a childish personal attack on Lerman (apparently he's a ...

Here's Anthony Lerman in today's Independent about the wild exaggeration of antisemitism:A team led by Professor Daniel Bar Tal of Tel Aviv University, one of the world's leading political psychologists, questioned Israeli Jews about their memory of the conflict with the Arabs, from its inception to...

Now if the "flurry" of correspondence in the Independent that I mentioned earlier follows the usual pattern then on Monday there'll be some ludicrous apologetic from the Zionist Federation in the paper on Monday but hopefully today's letters will be the last word on the zionist propaganda exercise k...

More evidence that Israel's recent assault on Gaza may have had more costs than benefits is that the UK traditional Labourite, that is Labour-right tabloid the Daily Mirror, has this little gem of an article by columnist Brian Reade, headed, Douglas Alexander's Gaza aid pledge typifies Britain's cow...

Jacobson's ludicrous hasbara effort appeared, as is usually the case, in the Independent. There were several letters criticising what he had written and there were some letters ignoring what he had actually written in order to support him. Well you couldn't support what he actually wrote now, could ...

I got an email on this but the link to the Ma'an News Agency didn't work at first so I googled "shoes israeli amsterdam and see for yourself what I got. 910,000 sites might actually not be the number of reports of shoes being thrown at Israelis in Amsterdam but top of the list at the time of writing...
