New “Antisemitism” Envoy’s Record of Anti-Palestinian Bigotry
Who is Canada’s new antisemitism envoy?

Deborah Lyons will replace Irwin Cotler in a position the Liberals created three years ago. Cotler used the platform and public funds allocated to the […]

The Day Guterres Became Relevant
The relevance given to a UN Secretary-General is often judged by the degree of controversy caused. In history, the most relevant are usually targeted. Dag Hammarskjöld, refusing to remain a mere bauble of international office, was almost certainly murdered over his intervention in the Congo civil war in 1961. The least relevant (who was that […]

Resolving Israel’s Dilemma
Israel’s dilemma has been how to construct a racially pure state and extinguish the Palestinian presence in the country without the world noticing the genocide. It has found the solution and the world takes no notice. The world can entertain another solution and the world takes no notice. Want to rid the world of Hamas, […]

Justifying Collective Punishment: Israel’s Assault on Gaza
Erroneous doctrines are current in the world, which declare a man culpable and responsible merely because he is a member or part of a determined country, without taking the trouble to seek or examine whether on his part there has been any personal sin of deed or omission. — Pope Pius XII, New York Times, […]

What is a terrorist? Seriously. I’m asking. Per the Oxford Dictionary, terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

This is another Iraqi WMD moment. We are being gaslit
Let’s say it again: The BIGGEST fake news comes from the establishment media. When the stakes are high, it barely bothers to hide its role as mouthpiece for Western propaganda. This is another Iraqi WMD moment. We are being gaslit. Believe your eyes and ears, and the laws of physics, not the lies being peddled […]

Israel is Your God (Dammit)
Many thousands of us protested the Zionist abomination at the Los Angeles Israeli consulate on October 14. Miscellaneous thoughts: With the US stymied in Ukraine, failing to slow the BRICS and getting no traction on Taiwan, it appears that it’s going to fire up the war on/of terror again using the Israeli fuse.

Humanity is under Attack in Gaza
Civilians, including children, were massacred on one side of the border between Israel and Gaza.
