A burnt offering By William Bowles
Far from being the death knell of the Palestinian struggle for their national rights, I contend that this may well spell the end of Zionism. Continue reading

Israel’s own Holocaust (and the US’s, and ours) By William Bowles
For it is simple, the Palestinians have been made the sacrificial lambs of the imperial lust for land and power and the BBC (and not just the BBC but virtually the entire Western media) is a willing, indeed complicit participant in disguising what is undoubtedly a war crime of horrific dimensions.

The obscenity that is the state of Israel By William Bowles
The war, if that’s what it can be called as in reality it’s remote-controlled slaughter, is as much a propaganda war in true Goebellian fashion, a war that is being conducted in the homes of the so-called developed world through the electronic and print media. For without the complicity of our political class and state/corporate… Continue reading

Do we live on the same planet? By William Bowles
The destruction of Gaza therefore is the only logical conclusion of the actions of a racist, fundamentalist, fanatical and clearly Fascist state, the so-called ‘chosen people’. Continue reading

Agent of a foreign power? By William Bowles
The BBC is directly complicit in selling a war crime of monstrous dimensions and should the day arrive when the architects of the slaughter are brought to justice, I really hope the managers of the BBC ‘News’ are along there with them in the dock. Continue reading

No place to run, no place to hide By William Bowles

End of the year or end of the world (as we know it)? By William Bowles
So perhaps in the final analysis, this is all for the good. Maybe now we’ll wake up to the reality of our lives, that lives that are spent working to do little more than consume is a fantasy. The real question is however, what are we going to do about it? Continue reading

Africa Bound By William Bowles
The irony of Dowden’s many misleading notions about Africa are that they could just as easily apply to Europe or indeed anywhere on Earth, perhaps in different forms due to different circumstances and at different times, but always reflecting the nature of who holds real political and economic power. That Dowden chooses to make a… Continue reading

Bewitched, Baffled and Bewildered By William Bowles
The problem they confront is that without an enemy in the form of socialism, they have no explanations, no excuses, no one to blame except individuals.

Hidden histories confirmed: So much for the ‘Mother of Parliaments’

Vanished – How the BBC disappears the news By William Bowles
