Clive Williams’ misguided claims on Iran, Israel and the Trump Administration – a fisking

January 11, 2021 | AIJAC staff

Clive Williams is a campus visitor with the ANU Centre for Military and Security Law. His article on The Conversation website asked, “Are the US and Iran headed for a military showdown before Trump leaves office?” (Jan 4). Unfortunately, the article was a mixture of out-of-context information, factual errors and half-truths brought together by an underlying presumption that the real threat to peace and security in the Middle East is not Iran, but Israel and the US Administration.

Deconstruction Zone: What apartheid?

February 2, 2021 | Yoseph Haddad

B’Tselem, which presents itself as a human-rights organisation, is in fact known as an organisation with a clear political stance that is in contrast to Israel’s position… How dare they say that I, an Arab Israeli who served along with Jewish soldiers in the Israel Defence Forces and managed hundreds of Jewish employees, live under an apartheid regime?
