  • Anti-Palestinian Racism

    Anti-Palestinian Racism

    Special thanks to G. Laster for research and design on these visuals. Last month, a year into an unending genocide against our loved ones in Palestine, my daughter, a senior in a public high school in the U.S., told me that she, along with a group of students, were planning a humanitarian walkout in solidarity […]

  • Plea in Defense of a Trade Unionist Facing Expulsion for Supporting Palestine

    For initiating a petition denouncing the French CGT Confederation’s stance on Palestine after October 7, Salah was defamed and expelled from the union. This troubling case, part of a global witch-hunt against supporters of Gaza, deserves some attention. Interventions and comments by Professor Bruno Drweski, who defended Salah L. during the proceedings for his permanent […]

    Jewish Chronicle Scandal: Why Was There No Uproar over Its Long Record of Pro-Israel Fake News?

    Britain’s best-known Jewish newspaper has found itself thrust into the centre of an embarrassing and long-overdue storm over its involvement with the shadowy manoeuvrings of the pro-Israel lobby. It raises questions about the degree to which parts of the British media are – inadvertently or otherwise – colluding in Israeli disinformation. The 180-year-old Jewish Chronicle, […]

  • On Cartoon Noses, Antisemitism, and the Slaughter in Gaza

    Once again, the accusation of antisemitism was weaponized to trump both common sense and support for the victims of Israel’s murderous rampage. Last week prominent Quebec cartoonist Serge Chapleau caricatured Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire. The cartoon published in La Presse reads “Nosfenyahou, en route to Rafah.” The pro-Israel and genocide lobby immediately condemned the caricature […]

  • Liberating the Palestinians

    The daily grind of atrocities committed on the Palestinian people continues with one trajectory ─ extinction as a people and realignment into disbursed communities. Civil protests against the destruction, heroic actions by confrontation with the oppressor, dedication to the concepts of justice and freedom, and physical and monetary sacrifices by millions of people in the […]

  • Australia’s Combatting Misinformation and Disinformation Bill

    Could we face collective decisions so fundamental that discourse itself buckles under conceptual strain? If so, maybe this is such a time and it would accordingly be wise to map it in the most reliable tradition, which prioritises agreed facts and valid inference from them. This also befits a need to be incisive, given the […]

  • Censorship of Indigenous Australians and Palestinians, Stan Grant, Julian Assange, and Truth Tellers

    Eminent Australian and Indigenous journalist, Stan Grant, was recently driven  to resign from the ABC (the tax-payer-funded Australian equivalent of the UK BBC) as compere of the high-rating Q+A TV program by a flood of devastating racist abuse  after he participated in a  frank and truthful ABC discussion of the British  Crown and genocidal colonialism on […]

  • The War on Free Speech Is Really a War on the Right to Criticize the Government

    Since when have we Americans been expected to bow submissively to authority and speak with awe and reverence to those who represent us? The constitutional theory is that we the people are the sovereigns, the state and federal officials only our agents. We who have the final word can speak softly or angrily. We can […]

  • Libelled by the Bot: Reputation, Defamation, and AI

    Cometh the new platform, cometh new actions in law, the fragile litigant ever ready to dash off a writ to those with (preferably) deep pockets. And so, it transpires that artificial intelligence (AI) platforms, for all the genius behind their creation, are up for legal scrutiny and judicial redress. Certainly, some private citizens are getting […]
