  • Elder Abuse in International Relations: Attacking the United Nations at 80

    Elder abuse in the frothy swirl of debates regarding the role of the United Nations is currently modish. The body has, after all, reached the age of 80 years. It has been a life ramshackle, rickety and marked with failure. But it has also been one of audacity, experimentation and industry. The occasion of the […]

  • Miracle on the Mediterranean—an Appeal to the Vatican State

    Miracle on the Mediterranean—an Appeal to the Vatican State

    Activists and human rights defenders ride aboard a vessel departing from Tunisia’s northern port of Bizerte on September 14, 2025 to join the last boats taking part in the Global Sumud Flotilla, bound for the Gaza Strip to break Israel’s blockade on the Palestinian territory. Sumud means “resilience” in Arabic, and the flotilla describes itself […]

  • Imperialism, Multipolarity, and Palestine

    It is a continuing source of frustration that an important segment of the Left holds the view that weakening the United States’ long-established grip on the top rungs of the hierarchical system of imperialism is — in itself — an attack on imperialism. Many of our friends, including those who claim to aim at a […]

  • Two Men, an Evil Empire, Evil Jews of Genocide Legacy, and the Mowing of the World’s Compassion and AGENCY

    Two Men, an Evil Empire, Evil Jews of Genocide Legacy, and the Mowing of the World’s Compassion and AGENCY

    Kelly’s on house arrest, essentially, for another three years of a sentence that did not meet the supposed level of his “crime.” And not too many Substackers even can grasp how the “otherside” of the railroad tracks lives, though Kelly, from Wisconsin, is smart, a musician and got that sheepskin in accounting, too. He’s got […]

  • Attempts to Delegitimize: Netanyahu at the UN General Assembly

    It takes a lot to make UN delegates walk out from an address to the General Assembly. But this was precisely what Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, managed to achieve in his September 26 speech. His address began by attempting to show his country as a guardian of law and civilisation, fighting a lonely, unsupported […]

  • Recognize Hamas

    Recognize Hamas

    Meaningless gestures Israel’s most genocidal Western supporters are planning to “recognize” a “Palestinian state”. France, Britain, maybe even Canada if the Palestinian state meets the Canadian Prime Minister’s novel criterion (the Canadian PM said he thinks there needs to be a “Zionist Palestinian State”). This “Palestinian State” will be run by the “Palestinian Authority” and […]

  • Israeli Overreach in Palestine and West Asia

    In an extraordinary televised statement, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has told the Zionist faithful that the state of Israel will curtail its current ambitions as part of a longer term strategy. The statement is short on specifics, but it comes on the heels of several apparent major failures of Israeli policy. The most recent […]

  • Might May Rule the Moment, but Right Prevails Forever

    Might May Rule the Moment, but Right Prevails Forever

    Zainul Abedin (Bangladesh), Untitled, 1944. On 28 November 1924, Sun Yat-sen delivered a speech in Kobe, Japan titled China and Japan: Natural Friends, Unnatural Enemies. Here, he outlined his progressive vision for Pan-Asianism – a world where the ‘rule of right’ would triumph over the ‘rule of might’, where the multitudes of oppressed peoples in […]

  • Symbolic Declarations: Palestinian Recognition at the UN General Assembly

    “True to the historic commitment of my country to the Middle East, to peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, this is why I declare today, France recognises the state of Palestine.” So stated President Emmanuel Macron to more than 140 leaders in attendance at the United Nations General Assembly on September 22. He further declared […]

  • Beyond Time to Say Who the Real Terrorists Are

    Beyond Time to Say Who the Real Terrorists Are

    In George Orwell’s book, 1984, the dominant force was able to determine what was true and what was false – hence 2+2=5. Today, those remaining in Gaza, who have survived the intensive bombing of almost all of Gaza’s infrastructure, sniper shootings, and starvation, are hanging onto life by a thread. Yet, it is the Palestinians […]
