Solomons cry wolf record remains stuck

Is he relegated from mainstream media’s opinion pages to a coffee-table magazine known for its spectacular coverage of largely mundane stories? This seems to be the fate of a controversial self-professed “expert” on so-called “Islamic terrorism”: Hussein Solomon.

Following years of parroting an Israeli narrative which seeks to demonise popular resistance as “terrorism”, Solomon seems to have run out of allies in the mainstream media. If it’s true, I’d be the last person to be surprised or to complain. After all, most serious media houses continuously strive for depth, accuracy, balance and credible accounts – not half-baked theories dressed up as “fact”.

Many will remember the consternation and anxiety caused by Solomon
during the run-up to the soccer world cup. He insisted that “terrorists”
were going to blow the football spectacle to smithereens and claimed
too that he knew who the targets were! What happened? The FIFA World Cup
turned out to be a resounding success without any hint of terror
strikes. A feat that South Africa prides itself with.

War crimes and denial

Is there no limit to the wiles of those dastardly anti-Semites?

Now they have decided to slander the Jews with another blood libel. Not the old accusation of slaughtering Christian children to use their blood for baking Passover matzoth, as in the past, but of the mass slaughter of women and children in Gaza.

And who did they put at the head of the commission which was charged with this task? Neither a British Holocaust-denier nor a German neo-Nazi, nor even an Iranian fanatic, but of all people a Jewish judge who bears the very Jewish name of Goldstone (originally Goldstein, of course). And not just a Jew with a Jewish name, but a Zionist, whose daughter, Nicole, is an enthusiastic Zionist who once "made Aliyah" and speaks fluent Hebrew. And not just a Jewish Zionist, but a South African who opposed apartheid and was appointed to the country’s Constitutional Court when that system was abolished.
All this in order to defame the most moral army in the world, fresh from waging the most just war in history!

The IAF, bullies of the clear blue skies

By Gideon Levy

Tags: Gaza, Israel News, Hamas 

Our finest young men are attacking Gaza now. Good boys from good homes are doing bad things. Most of them are eloquent, impressive, self-confident, often even highly principled in their own eyes, and on Black Saturday dozens of them set out to bomb some of the targets in our "target bank" for the Gaza Strip.

They set out to bomb the graduation ceremony for young police officers who had found that rare Gaza commodity, a job, massacring them by the dozen. They bombed a mosque, killing five sisters of the Balousha family, the youngest of whom was 4. They bombed a police station, hitting a doctor nearby; she lies in a vegetative state in Shifa Hospital, which is bursting with wounded and dead. They bombed a university that we in Israel call the Palestinian Rafael, the equivalent of Israel’s weapons developer, and destroyed student dormitories. They dropped hundreds of bombs out of blue skies free of all resistance.
