I love this radical Aussie magazine. Nexus has been coming to my home for at least ten years, probably longer. I don't believe every suppressed science & UFO conspiracy theory printed in its pages, but there's always something stimulating and provocative to read. Plus it has funny cartoons.

My one complaint is that this magazine periodically runs a blame-Israel piece. Some piece of excrement like: the tragedy of 9/11 was orchestrated by Israel!! In the current issue was a glowing book review of a book that blames Israel while also pointing out that people who blame Israel come under fire for being anti-Semitic.

Well, Duh. Blaming Israel--for 9/11, the war in Iraq, or any other evil in the world--is just the next layer of the anti-Semitic onion. People have been blaming Jews for stuff for the past 2000 years. If the pages of NEXUS are any indication, they will be doing so for the next 2000, too--only shifting the level of discourse slightly to blaming Israel.

It's not just NEXUS that does this. My beloved MI-5 ran an episode with an evil Israeli extremist. Here's a question: why wouldn't Israelis be hyper-defensive, when their immediate neighbors want to annihilate them? I don't watch MI-5 anymore. But I will still get NEXUS, enjoy the articles, and wonder why an otherwise open-minded periodical persists in prejudice against Jews.
