		<title>Lying in Gaza</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This article includes a guest contribution by habibi from Harry&#8217;s Place.
A group of friends in London alerted me to this grubby little piece by a British Labour Party Member of Parliament, Bob Marshall-Andrews, concerning his recent visit to Gaza. Upon reading it, I was struck by various thoughts, not least the degree to which Marshall-Andrews [...]]]></description>

		<title>Argentina, Iran and Mixed Messages</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
1.
The present and previous presidents of Argentina have both stood up at the UN General Assembly and politely requested that the government of Iran extradite the AMIA massacre suspects it is sheltering.

2.
Consider Luis D&#8217;Elía. He is what we here call a piquetero. He and the organization he leads have unflinchingly backed the government of [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Latest Hamas Ban</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If Vidal Sassoon lived in Gaza, he&#8217;d be in hiding now for two reasons. One, because he&#8217;s Jewish. Two, because he&#8217;s a hairdresser who works in women&#8217;s salons. More here. Someone please remind me: wasn&#8217;t there something, somewhere about Hamas being moderate and enlightened?

		<title>Combating the Apartheid Slander: Resources</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As the event known as &#8220;Israel Apartheid Week&#8221; (IAW) kicks off, here are some resources to combat the antisemitic, Soviet-inspired slander that Israel is an apartheid state.
Here are three good pieces which came out today. Robbie Sabel has written a detailed paper published by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs debunking the apartheid analogy. Richard [...]]]></description>

		<title>Goldstone: Human Rights Gone Wrong</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s the latest video from AJC Reality Check, focusing on how the prejudices of one of Richard Goldstone&#8217;s lieutenants, Desmond Travers, played a key role in the distortions which followed in the Goldstone report.

		<title>Glenn Greenwald Keeps an Ugly Calumny Alive</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
This is a guest post by Adam Levick
Even before the birth of the modern state of Israel, Jews have stood accused of not possessing sufficient loyalty to the nations where they reside.  Its contemporary manifestation however almost always centers around the notion of dual loyalty - a charge that Jews are more loyal to [...]]]></description>

		<title>John Pilger and the Enabling of Antisemitism</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by David Adler.
To find journalist-ideologue John Pilger ranting about &#8220;the criminality of the Israeli state&#8221; and &#8220;the murderous, racist toll of Zionism&#8221; is all too routine. (Hat tip Oliver Kamm.) What&#8217;s new is this: Pilger trots out &#8220;the expatriate Israeli musician Gilad Atzmon&#8221; as a representative good Jew, emblematic of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Antisemitism: A Lethal Obsession</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Antisemitism cannot be regarded as just one more lazy, ill-thought-out bigotry. The anti-Semite hates and fears Jews because he interprets the world through them. Wistrich quotes the French monarchist Charles Maurras’s candid admission that anti-Semitism &#8216;enables everything to be arranged, smoothed over and simplified.&#8217;&#8221; From my Jerusalem Post review of Robert Wistrich&#8217;s epic new book, [...]]]></description>

		<title>El País, Pots And Kettles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ 
El Páis of Madrid is a wonderful newspaper. In the lead editorial of today&#8217;s edition it fearlessly condemns the supposed assassination by Israel of Mahmoud al-Mabhouh.

As well as being legally reprehensible and morally unacceptable the policy of selective assassination, or to put it another way, the dirty war only contributes to the illusion that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do Iran&#8217;s Nuclear Claims Hold Water?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a guest post by Dan Yurman of Idaho Samizdat, a blog covering nuclear energy and non-proliferation issues.
Iran&#8217;s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad claimed in a speech marking the 31st anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that it has the capacity to make &#8220;weapons grade&#8221;uranium which could lead to the fabrication of an operational nuclear bomb. Iran [...]]]></description>
