  • Statehood = Self-determination = No Outside Interference

    But Trump, Kushner, Witkoff, Blair just don’t get it. And neither do those world leaders who signed up to Trump’s phony ‘Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity’. Last week a Conservative MP in Westminster submitted a string of written Parliamentary questions about the UK’s recognition of Palestinian statehood: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, […]

  • Gaza Peace Plan is a Cruel Deception

    Decent, concerned people have been waiting impatiently for the UN General Assembly to use a ‘Uniting For Peace’ resolution to circumvent the US veto and intervene in Gaza with a protection force. Under this mechanism, when the Security Council is deadlocked, the authority to act passes to the General Assembly where the US has no […]

    The Gong Show, Jerry Springer, Maury Povitch, Howard Stern, Seinfeld

    And we thought the Borscht Belt had died out. We have it in the corridors of power, in the White Man’s House, in every corner of media and the law. To take this to its silliness level: The name comes from borscht, a soup of Ukrainian origin (made with beets as the main ingredient, giving it a deep reddish-purple […]

  • Natural Resources and Palestinian Sovereignty: Israel’s Further Isolation

    Two more United Nations committee resolutions.  Both concerning the conduct of Israel past and current.  While disease, hunger and death continue to stalk the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank remains under the thick thumb of occupation, deliberations in foreign fora continue to take place about how to address this hideous state of affairs.  While […]

    Can the World Save Palestine from US-Israeli Genocide?

    A moment of prayer and meditation at the opening of the UN General Assembly, September 10, 2024 (Photo credit: UN Photo/Eskinder Debebe) On September 18th, the UN General Assembly is scheduled to debate and vote on a resolution calling on Israel to end “its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” within six months. Given that the […]

  • Conventional Wisdom: The ICJ Ruling on Israeli Settlements

    The International Court of Justice has again deliberated over the thorn-bloodied subject of Israeli-Palestinian relations.  Its latest advisory opinion, sought by the UN General Assembly early last year, was unremarkably conventional though nonetheless affirming: a finding that Israeli settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with “the regime associated with them, have been […]

  • Fake Peace, Real War, and the Road To “Plausible Genocide”

    Fake Peace, Real War, and the Road To “Plausible Genocide”

    We will destroy everything not Jewish.  — Theodore Herzl [1] We have no solution, you shall continue to live like dogs, and whoever wishes may leave, and we will see where this process leads . . . . You Palestinians, as a nation, don’t want us today, but we’ll change your attitude by forcing our […]

  • Palestinians’ Superior Right to Self-defence is Ignored, as Usual

    The UK’s leaders are tying themselves in knots in their desperate attempt to defend the indefensible. In a debate on Israel and Palestine in Parliament last week, Under-Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Affairs Leo Docherty got up and said: There is no scenario in which Hamas can be allowed to control Gaza […]

  • Who are the Real Terrorists in the Palestine Story?

    Who are the Real Terrorists in the Palestine Story?

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard a more sickening speech from a world leader than Biden’s following Hamas’s attack on Israel, the tormentor of the Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. His crass ignorance, prejudice and subservience to a criminal, apartheid regime, while utterly indifferent to the suffering of the Palestinian people, sets a […]

  • Israel Continues Its “Shoot-to-Cripple” Policy Targeting Youngsters with Impunity

    The Guardian reports an increase in the number of young Palestinian demonstrators in hospital with gunshot wounds. Their protests are in response to the Jewish invasions of the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in East Jerusalem and raids by the Israeli occupation forces into Gaza, as well as the continuing misery and hopelessness caused by Israel’s illegal […]
