  • Failed Machismo: Israel’s Pager Killings

    With each ludicrously diabolical move, Israel’s security and military services are proving that they will broaden the conflict ignited when Hamas breached the country’s vaunted security defences on October 7.  Notions such as ceasefire and peace are terms of nonsense and babble before the next grand push towards apocalyptic recognition. The pager killings in Lebanon […]

  • Can the World Save Palestine from US-Israeli Genocide?

    Can the World Save Palestine from US-Israeli Genocide?

    A moment of prayer and meditation at the opening of the UN General Assembly, September 10, 2024 (Photo credit: UN Photo/Eskinder Debebe) On September 18th, the UN General Assembly is scheduled to debate and vote on a resolution calling on Israel to end “its unlawful presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory” within six months. Given that the […]

  • The US Attempted Coup in Venezuela uses new Cyber Tools, but cannot Break the Chavista Wall

    The peoples around the world have looked to Venezuela as a vanguard leading Nuestra América in its second independence struggle, against the US. The US rulers operate as the inheritor of the European colonial empires, assuming the right to interfere in other countries’ elections, and dictate who are the winners. No other country – save US […]

  • The Law of Force or the Force of Law

    Are the nations of the world doomed to go on fighting the brutal, horrifying wars that have long characterized human history? We might well wonder about that as we watch, aghast, while Israeli armed forces slaughter thousands of Palestinian civilians, Russian military might relentlessly pounds Ukrainian towns and cities into rubble, and new, bloody wars […]

  • Another September 11th

    Another September 11th

    Rolling out of my crib before dawn today (I was in it long before the charlatans Harris and Trump began their theatrical “debate”), it being another September 11th, I wondered where Dick Cheney was. And I was still wondering where Elmer Gantry was, having received the previous day a form message from RFK, Jr.’s faith-based […]

  • BAP Condemns U.S. Plans for Yet Another UN Military Occupation of Haiti

    Once again, the Haiti/Americas Team of the Black Alliance for Peace (BAP) strongly denounces the latest attempts by the U.S. to push for yet another UN military occupation of Haiti. We condemn this action and the relentless assaults on Haitian self-determination by the US and its criminal allies. We also urge Caribbean and Latin American […]

  • Protecting the Merchants of Death: The Police Effort for Land Forces 2024

    September 11.  Melbourne.  The scene: the area between Spencer Street Bridge and the Batman Park-Spencer Street tram stop. Heavily armed police, with glinting face coverings and shields, had seized and blocked the bridge over the course of the morning, preventing all traffic from transiting through it.  Behind them stood second tier personnel, lightly armed.  Then, […]

  • Targeting Childhood in the West Bank-By Distance

    Targeting Childhood in the West Bank-By Distance

    From October 7, 2023–July 31, 2024, Israeli forces and settlers killed Palestinian children in the West Bank at a rate of one child every two days. We partnered with Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP) to create visuals for their new report, “Targeting Childhood: Palestinian Children Killed by Israeli Forces and Settlers in the Occupied West […]

  • Three New Kinds of Refugees in a World of Migrants

    Rashid Diab (Sudan), Out of Focus, 2015. One summer evening, the unrelenting sun over Niger refused to dip below the horizon. I sought out some shade with three anxious men in Touba au paradis, a small quiet restaurant in Agadez. These three Nigerians had tried to make the crossing at Assamaka, to our north, into […]

  • Bypassing Sanctions: Russia, Trade Routes and Outfoxing the West

    Invention is the mother of necessity, and Russia’s response to largely Western-imposed economic and trade sanctions has shown the extent of that inventiveness.  While enduring attritive punishment in its Ukraine campaign, the war remains sustainable for the Kremlin.  The domestic economy has not collapsed, despite apocalyptic predictions to the contrary.  In terms of exports, Russia […]
