  • Germany, Gaza and the World Court: Broadening the Scope of Genocide

    Can it get any busier?  The World Court, otherwise known as the International Court of Justice, has been swamped by applications on the subject of alleged genocide. The site of interest remains the Gaza Strip, the subject of unremitting slaughter since the October 7, 2023 cross-border attacks by Hamas against Israel.  The retaliation by Israel […]

  • Divesting from Genocide and US Militarism

    War tax resisters are taking to the streets to call for an end to genocide and endless war. They are divesting from the taxes that fund war and investing in people, planet, and justice. The US supports Israel with over $3 billion in military aid each year and has provided more military aid to Israel […]

  • Are Our Political Leaders Really so Ignorant about International Law?

    You’d think Western leaders dealing with foreign affairs would make sure they had a working knowledge of international law and a healthy respect for its importance. It’s based on common sense and is easy enough for politicians of average intelligence to understand. But they don’t seem to. So it was refreshing to hear Vasily Nebenzya, […]

  • Aukusing for War: The Real Target Is China

    The occasional burst of candour from US diplomats provides a striking, air clearing difference to their Australian and British counterparts.  Official statements about the AUKUS security pact between Washington, London and Canberra, rarely mention the target in so many words, except on the gossiping fringes.  Commentators and think tankers are essentially given free rein to […]

  • China Blasts Israel at the UN

    ???? China blasts Israel at the UN: “This is a grave violation of the UN Charter and international law and a breach of the sovereignty of both Syria and Iran. This attack is of an extremely vicious nature… 25 years ago, China’s embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed by a US-led… pic.twitter.com/ipZTgzfKOj — Megatron (@Megatron_ron) April […]

  • “Genocide Enablers” Gaza And The Corporate Media

    “Genocide Enablers” Gaza And The Corporate Media

    A key function of the state-corporate media is to deny reality. They do supply news. But it is no accident that they supply news of a type that covers up the crimes of elite power. However, the appalling violence and destruction being inflicted in Gaza by Israel are simply too great to conceal. We may […]

  • UN Human Rights Council again supports US regime change plans for Nicaragua

    When the United Nations sets up a “commission of inquiry,” it can result in a powerful analysis of violations of human rights law, such as the one appointed in 2021 to examine Israel’s illegal occupation of Palestinian territories and its Apartheid practices. But other commissions can become political platforms aimed at demonizing a particular government […]

  • Killing Aid Workers: Australia’s Muddled Policy on Israel

    The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, was distraught and testy.  It seemed that, on this occasion, Israel had gone too far.  Not too far in killing over 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza, a staggering percentage of them being children.  Not too far in terms of using starvation as a weapon of war.  Not too far in […]

  • Unbecoming American: Diplomacy and Distraction

    Unbecoming American: Diplomacy and Distraction

    The importance of “peace” in the rhetoric of the West lies not in the sincerity with which it is preached. Rather “peace”, like the DIE dogma emerging from the recent Awakening Crusade (Wokism) is a term of invidious distraction. The intensity and frequency of its use is determined by the underlying concept of domination. As […]
