  • Bishops Rapped over Feeble Response to Holy Land Genocide

    Are we seeing, at last, the beginnings of a revolution in the Anglican Church against its leaders’ cowardice over Israel’s genocide of Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land? On 31 October the Church of England House of Bishops issued a statement on Israel’s genocide against Palestinians which two clergymen in Cambridge found”profoundly inadequate as […]

    We were lied into the Gaza genocide; Al Jazeera has shown us how

    For weeks, as Gaza was battered with bombs and the body count in the tiny enclave rose inexorably, western publics had little choice but to rely on Israel’s word for what happened on 7 October. Some 1,150 Israelis were killed during an unprecedented attack on Israeli communities and military posts next to Gaza. Beheaded babies, […]

  • Genocide as a Strategy for Success

    The future always surprises us to some degree. But we make plans, anyway, based on our projections, and we adjust them when our predictions are at least partially wrong, which they always are, because they make assumptions based upon things that we take for granted, such as our health and that meteors and tsunamis will […]

    The Women Who Live Between the Barbed Wire and the Sea

    May’s family Latifa Najjar superimposes hearts over the faces of her children’s online photographs in the classic mother’s move to protect them.

  • Terrorism’s Ugly Face

    In August, 2008, Ismail Haniyeh, the elected Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza, welcomed me and other members of the Free Gaza Movement to his home in the relatively small al-Shati refugee camp in northern Gaza, not far from the larger Jabalia camp. We had just arrived on the first boats to enter […]

  • How the Western media helped build the case for genocide in Gaza

    How the Western media helped build the case for genocide in Gaza

    The past five months have been clarifying. What was supposed to be hidden has been thrust into the light. What was supposed to be obscured has come sharply into focus. Liberal democracy is not what it seems. It has always defined itself in contrast to what it says it is not. Where other regimes are […]

    Please Ignore Our Subversion There

    You’ve read, heard and seen countless stories about supposed Chinese interference in Canada, but how many times has the dominant media mentioned Canadian subversion in other countries? Don’t believe that Canada does that? Here are a few examples of Canada contributing to leading international stories: There is a direct line between the downward spiral in […]
