  • Trendy Appointments: Australia’s Special Antisemitism Envoy

    Was there any need for this?  Australia’s Albanese government, harried by the conservative opposition for going soft on pro-Palestinian protests and the war in Gaza while allegedly wobbling on supporting Israel, has decided to bring a touch of bureaucracy to the show.  Australia now has its first antisemitism envoy, a title that sits in that […]

  • Preventing the Genocide Part 2

    Read Part 1. Someone, whose cousin was friendly with White House (WH) correspondent, Helen Thomas,  related to me the anguish that the dean of WH correspondents suffered after being accused of anti-Semitism. Helen was born in Lebanon and consistently favored the Palestinian cause. Having been the first female officer of the National Press Club, the […]

  • Dogmatic Neoliberal Democrats

    Dogmatic Neoliberal Democrats

     Orientation How dare you! How can you write an article against the Democratic Party less than six months before the election? You must be a Trump supporter! We must keep Trump out of office no matter what! Vote Blue no matter who! (Or now, Vote Biden no matter what!) Only a privileged person would consider […]

  • On Cartoon Noses, Antisemitism, and the Slaughter in Gaza

    Once again, the accusation of antisemitism was weaponized to trump both common sense and support for the victims of Israel’s murderous rampage. Last week prominent Quebec cartoonist Serge Chapleau caricatured Benjamin Netanyahu as a vampire. The cartoon published in La Presse reads “Nosfenyahou, en route to Rafah.” The pro-Israel and genocide lobby immediately condemned the caricature […]

  • The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    The Struggle for Women’s Emancipation Will Always Be Worth It

    8 March was not always International Women’s Day, nor has there always been any such day at all. The idea emerged from the Socialist International (also known as the Second International), where Clara Zetkin of the German Social Democratic Party and others fought from 1889 to hold a day to celebrate working women’s lives and […]

  • The Ugly Origins of Trump’s “America First” Policy

    People’s choice of words can be revealing.  That’s certainly the case with respect to one of Donald Trump’s favorite slogans, “America First.” In April 2016, Trump initially used the term in a campaign speech, proclaiming that “America First” would be “the major and overriding theme of my administration.”  The following year, in his inaugural address, […]

  • Traumatised Zionist mindset exposed by new Hollywood attack on Glazer for Oscar speech

    Traumatised Zionist mindset exposed by new Hollywood attack on Glazer for Oscar speech

    Laszlo Nemes, the Hungarian director of the award-winning Holocaust film Son of Saul, joins the elite mob determined to lynch film-maker Jonathan Glazer for trying to publicly prick Hollywood’s conscience at the Oscars ceremony last week and end its deafening silence in the midst of a plausible genocide in Gaza. Nemes’ statement is a fascinating […]

  • Delete the Smear Jagmeet, Tell Truth and Help Palestinians

    Jagmeet Singh’s refusal to delete a smear against internationalist, social justice, minded protesters encourages Israel’s genocide. Over 6,000 individuals have requested the NDP leader remove his anti-Palestinian slander, but Singh seems too scared of the fascistic, supremacist, genocide lobby to do what is right. In a bid to deter Israel from slaughtering the 1.5 million Palestinians […]

  • When “Leftists” use “Antisemitism” Smears to weaken Palestinian Solidarity 

    When “Leftists” use “Antisemitism” Smears to weaken Palestinian Solidarity 

    While it’s near impossible to sidestep nationalist, imperialist and supremacist ideas, “leftists” should at least not promote prevailing anti-Palestinian ideological strictures. Despite the horrors Israel’s unleashed in Gaza, some who ‘stand with Palestine’ still prioritize Jewish sensitivities over opposing Canadian support for genocide. In a hundred days 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, 60,000 seriously injured […]

  • University Presidents Carelessly Resign

    From their inception, the Zionists learned how to turn a loss into a gain, how to use debt as collateral, and enrich their interests. Twisting incidents so that their victim becomes the assailant and their assault makes them the victim has been their trademark. Taking a valid reproach to their damaging tactics and converting it […]
