The Propagandist is excited to announce that the hard-hitting Z Word blog is going to continue its fight under the banner of our magazine.

As many of our regular readers will know, Z Word was created by the American Jewish Committee as an online journal dedicated to exploring the moral, philosophical, political and historical issues arising from the conflicts in the Middle East, particularly - although not exclusively - as they relate to the issues of Zionism, anti-Zionism and antisemitism.

These issues have also been taken up by The Propagandist from the very beginning in our “Zionist Propaganda” section. We introduced this category noting:

Why focus on stories about one particular ethnic group and country (Jews and Israel) in this section? You might ask the same question of countless millions of propagandists from the other side who single out the “Zionists” while ignoring everything else – in particular, the fascists living right next door to the Middle East’s only democracy.

Henceforth, our “Zionist Propaganda” section changes to Z Word. This section will continue to provide insightful and thought-provoking essays exploring Zionism, anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism, led by the brilliant columnist Ben Cohen and others. And over the coming days, we’ll be making available all of the great content originally hosted on the Z Word blog – a rich archive of essays, editorial content and breaking news.

On behalf of the rest of the team at The Propagandist, I’d like to give a hale and hearty welcome to our allies. Shalom -- and as ever, confusion to our enemies.
