  • Condemn all UN Member States: They Spend 100 times More on Militarism than on the Entire UN System

    The United Nations, facing a liquidity crisis, has been threatening to lay-off about 20 percent of its estimated 37,000 employees world-wide: a proposed move that has triggered widespread protests from staff unions both in New York and Geneva. Thus starts Thalif Dean’s analysis in a recent IPS article. The UN is in a liquidity crisis!!?? […]

  • The West is in Panic as Israel’s Plan for “Full Control” of Gaza Heralds a New Nakba

    The West is in Panic as Israel’s Plan for “Full Control” of Gaza Heralds a New Nakba

    [First published by Middle East Eye] If you thought Western capitals were finally losing patience with Israel’s engineering of a famine in Gaza nearly two years into the genocide, you may be disappointed. As ever, events have moved on – even if the extreme hunger and malnourishment of the two million people of Gaza have not […]

  • Ukraine: We Told You So

    I hate to say I told you so. It’s obnoxious, really. But sometimes it is an important point. In this case, the point is this: the people who are always right about wars were right about the war in Ukraine, whereas the “experts” who are always on television and in government were, as usual, wrong. […]

  • Stop the Violence

    It is paradoxical that many advocate for ending wars without acknowledging the root issue of violence. If now is not the time to finally address violence, when will it be? We must name and challenge all its forms—physical, religious, economic, political, psychological, cultural, sexual, and others—because violence in any form is the primary barrier to […]

  • No Excuse for Refusing Palestinians their State a Moment Longer

    When it comes to recognising Palestinian statehood, the UK and US seem unable to grasp what their solemn obligations are. Fortunately, UN Resolution 37/43 of December 1982 is there to help. It comprehensively reaffirms previous resolutions and treaties on the universal right to self-determination and the speedy granting of independence to colonial countries and peoples […]

  • Water on Mars, Blood on Earth

    Mars Missions vs Earth’s Thirst: NASA’s Perseverance rover cost $2.7 billion. The global space economy exceeds $500 billion annually. Meanwhile, the UN estimates $11 billion per year could provide clean water and sanitation for everyone on Earth. In Somalia, over 8 million people face water scarcity, while Cape Town nearly ran dry in 2018 due […]

  • Trump’s Tariffs against Latin America

    President Donald Trump answers questions from reporters after signing an executive order about the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games, in the South Court Auditorium of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House campus, August 5, 2025 Trump’s threat of imposing a crippling 50 per cent tariff on all Brazilian imports to the United […]

  • Netanyahu and Taking Over Gaza

    To say that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had lost the plot is to assume he ever had one. With a dearth of ideas as to how to come up with a “final solution” to the Palestinian problem, he has received a majority approval from his cabinet colleagues to take over Gaza City. It took […]

  • Why Western Hegemony is Over

     The tariff truce between China and the United States is set to end in August. What do you forecast will happen after that? And what will happen to trade relations between China and the US for the rest of US President Donald Trump’s second term? The United States learned that it can’t impose its will on China. The rare earths […]

  • Eighty years after the U.S. Bombed Hiroshima and Nagasaki Are We on the Verge of Another Nuclear War?

    Eighty years ago, the U.S. dropped nuclear bombs on the civilian populations of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. There are now nine nuclear-armed nations, many in military confrontation with one another. It is quite remarkable that there has not been another nuclear war. How can this be explained? Some say the absence of another nuclear war proves […]
