  • Who Is Ready to Die for Trump’s Gaza Plan? So Far, Nobody

    On November 17th, 2025, the UN Security Council passed a resolution to endorse President Trump’s plan for Gaza, including a transitional government headed by Trump himself and an International Stabilization Force (ISF) that is expected, among other tasks, to disarm Hamas, a task that Israel has failed to do through two years of genocide and mass destruction.

    The UN Has Voted to Put the Occupation of Iraq in Charge of Gaza

    Ah, those were the days. The UN had been blocked by a worldwide popular movement from approving of a war on Iraq. British Prime Minister Tony Blair had dragged the UK along after secretly demanding that George W. Bush first attack Afghanistan, because Blair believed he would be better able to sell a war on […]

  • Sheer Wickedness: Genocide in Gaza is Enabled by “Global Complicity,” Says UN

    A new report, ‘Situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967’ by Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese and her team in accordance with Human Rights Council resolution 5/1, concludes that “the ongoing genocide in Gaza is a collective crime, sustained by the complicity of influential Third States” and is “facilitated through Third States’ […]

  • Clandestine Cleansing: Al-Majd Europe, Gaza and Israeli Policy

    According to its website, the mission of Al-Majd Europe, yet another odd charity organisation operating in the mash and rubble of Gaza, is “dedicated to providing essential humanitarian aid, educational opportunities, and sustainable development projects to Palestinian communities.” Leaving little by way of information, the charity was clearly one of the anointed, permitted by the […]

  • Inversion of Reality

    George Orwell at the BBC The resignations of Tim Davie, BBC director general, and Deborah Turness, BBC head of news, after an intense, right-wing campaign led by the Daily Telegraph reveals much about the state of British ‘mainstream’ media.

  • A Torturous Truce

    The morning carried a different scent… One that I had been waiting two years to smell. The weapons of war had finally fallen silent, as a ceasefire draped the land. — from The Scent of Life by Maryam Hasanat, Gaza author and refugee On October 8th, 2025 the Occupation and the Occupied agreed to a […]

  • Gaza: The Arsonist’s Laurels

    There is a peculiar, and telling, absurdity to the coverage of the Trump Administration’s agreement between Israel and Hamas. After entering office, this administration faithfully continued the efforts of its predecessor by providing the means Israel requires to conduct its genocidal campaign in Gaza.
