Sky News interview on the release of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange

My interview on Sky News Australia about the remarkable news of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange being released from Belmarsh prison in London.

I’ve been a Wikileaks supporter and friend since its inception in 2006. It has released more important documents about the state of global power than any other media outlet in my lifetime.

Neo-cons don’t want true democracy in Israel and Palestine

Earlier this year, I released the book, After Zionism, an edited collection with Palestinian Ahmed Moor on the one-state solution.

The first printing sold out and it’s now in the second reprint.

Neo-cons are unhappy, however, because the book details the inherently discriminatory nature of the Jewish state.

In the rabidly US pro-Israel outlet, Middle East Quarterly, reviewer Alex Selsky is upset:

Review of After Zionism: One State for Israel and Palestine : Middle East Quarterly
