    Germany confirms its collaboration with genocide

    The photo is a screen shot from Press TV showing a demo protest against the shutdown of the conference.

  • The Hidden Genocide in Ethiopia

    The Hidden Genocide in Ethiopia

    The Ethiopia of Abiy Ahmed and his Prosperity Party, is a dark and frightening place,  where anyone challenging the government are at risk of violence and arrest. People from the Amhara ethnic group are particularly targeted; killing of Amhara men, women and children is a daily occurrence in what constitutes a genocidal campaign of hate […]

  • Aid Wars over Gaza: Resuming Funding to UNRWA

    The steady and ruthless campaign by Israel to internationally defund the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), is unravelling.  The lynchpin in the effort was a thin, poison pen dossier making claims that 12 individuals were Hamas operatives who had been involved in the October 7 attacks.  Within […]

  • Unmasking Media Complicity

    Bisan Owda, a 25-year-old journalist from Gaza, recently expressed a bleak outlook: ‘I no longer have any hope of survival…I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days.’ Bisan’s harrowing sentiment reflects the dangerous reality journalists face, risking their lives to expose the brutal truths obscured by the fog […]

  • Banished from Pakistan: Islamabad Moves on Afghan Refugees

    Across the globe, refugees, always treated as the pox of public policy, continue to feature in news reports describing anguish, despair and persistent persecution.  If they are not facing barbed wire barriers in Europe, they are being conveyed, where possible, to third countries to be processed in lengthy fashion.  Policy makers fiddle and cook the […]

  • Killing the Story

    Killing the Story

    The ongoing Israeli bombardment of Gaza has been described as the deadliest period for journalists. 53% of all journalists killed by Israel between 2000-2023 were killed during Israel’s current assault on Gaza. Journalists in Gaza are finding it more difficult to report Israeli atrocities due to prolonged periods of communication blackouts. With 48 media facilities […]

  • Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

    Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

    I’ve been thinking for quite awhile how the most depraved position of the Israeli government becomes the baseline view here in the United States, particularly in politics and media. It makes sense that the genocidal, racist, colonial project of Israel would find admiration in the ruling class of a nation founded on indigenous genocide and […]

  • Short Walk Home Long Walk to Freedom

    Short Walk Home Long Walk to Freedom

    From 2018-2019, Palestinians in Gaza engaged in mass civil resistance, calling for an end to Israel’s blockade and the realization of their right to return. Israel’s response was to open fire on protesters, massacring hundreds and wounding thousands. This visual tells the story of Israel’s repression of Palestinian civil resistance in Gaza.

  • How Empire Fabricates Atrocities

    How Empire Fabricates Atrocities

    Another atrocity. Yesterday, the dam holding back the waters for the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station was destroyed releasing a massive flood surge, imperilling people and places below the dam on the Dnieper River. Both sides blamed each other. From the Russian standpoint, it makes no sense to blow up the dam. According to Russian Defense […]
