  • The World Is Burning, and the First Fire Is Hunger

    There is a particular kind of silence that settles over a society when injustice becomes routine. It is not the silence of peace but the silence of resignation—the silence that creeps in when people begin to believe that suffering is inevitable and resistance is futile. I have seen that silence in the ruins of Sudan, […]

  • How to Stop Israel from Starving Gaza

    Israel has crossed the clear line into the darkest crimes. Israel, with US complicity, is committing genocide in Gaza through the mass starvation of the population as well as direct mass murders and the physical destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure.

    Malnutrition and Mortality in Gaza, One Year Later. Who’s Counting the Dead?

    It’s a tragic sign of the times when little introductory narrative is needed to set the near-apocalyptic scene that exists in Gaza today. The world watches from a distance as Israel’s onslaught continues and the civilian death toll escalates to unimaginable levels. Now, the nightmare that Palestinian survivors are currently enduring is about to take […]

    The official death toll in Gaza is a lie: The casualty numbers are far, far higher

    The death toll in Gaza is way too low by every imaginable metric. We need to be stressing this – all the more so when Israel’s apologists are vigorously engaged in a disinformation campaign to suggest that the figures are inflated.

  • In Solidarity with Gaza and the World’s Forgotten Millions

  • Britain’s Century Long Opium Trafficking and China’s Century of Humiliation (1839-1949)

    For the Chinese, the trauma of the Century of Humiliation continues as a blunt reminder of their past defeat and neo-colonial servitude, as well as a reminder of the West’s self-righteous hypocrisy and arrogance.

  • Starvation in Gaza: The World Court’s Latest Intervention

    Rarely has the International Court of Justice been so constantly exercised by one topic during a short span of time.  On January 26, the World Court, considering a filing made the previous December by South Africa, accepted Pretoria’s argument that the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide was applicable to […]

  • The Distortion of Science

    Starting in the mid-20th century, companies began distorting and manpulating science to favor specific commercial interests. Big tobacco is both the developer and the poster child of this strategy. When strong evidence that smoking caused lung cancer emerged in the 1950s, the tobacco industry began a campaign to obscure this fact. The Unmaking of Science […]
