  • Latin America and the Caribbean stand with Palestine

    The countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, with a few notable exceptions, have been critical of Israel’s ongoing campaign of genocide in Gaza. Perhaps more than any other region, they have expressed their solidarity with Palestine. Most recognize that the partnership between US imperialism and Israeli Zionism applies not only to Palestine, but also […]

  • A Flawed and Dangerous Presence: US Troops in Syria

    Despite a focus on boxing China in the Indo-Pacific, US involvement in the Middle East continues to be widespread and problematic.  While Israel is given its regular steroid diet of murderous arms, US military personnel find themselves scattered throughout a myriad of bases and countries.  Recently, Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul decided that Syria should […]

  • We’ve Already Got a Dictator-in-Chief: How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

    We’ve Already Got a Dictator-in-Chief: How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

    Once a dictator, always a dictator. Power-hungry, lawless and steadfast in its pursuit of authoritarian powers, the government does not voluntarily relinquish those powers once it acquires, uses and inevitably abuses them. Likewise, any presidential candidate who promises to be a dictator on day one, if elected, will be a dictator-in-chief for life. Then again, the […]

  • On this Human Rights Day, Let Us Remember that the U.S. is the Greatest Violator of Human Rights in the World

    As the international community celebrates December 10th as International Human Rights Day, it is imperative that the world also affirm that violators of the fundamental human rights of peoples and nations will be held accountable. From the war in Ukraine to mass incarceration of Black, Latino and Native Peoples in the U.S. to Obama’s ongoing […]

  • The View from Washington: Let the Killing in Gaza Continue

    Bloodletting as form; murder as fashion.  The ongoing campaign in Gaza by Israel’s Defence Forces continues without stalling and restriction.  But the burgeoning number of corpses is starting to become a challenge for the propaganda outlets:  How to justify it?  Fortunately for Israel, the United States, its unqualified defender, is happy to provide cover for […]

  • China Calls for a “Roadmap” to a Two-state Solution

    This week’s News on China. Sources: • China calls for a “roadmap” to a two-state solution “China calls for ceasefire, UN peace conference to end Israel-Gaza conflict” “Israeli military widens ground offensive to southern Gaza” “PA thanks China for sending aid to Gazans in hour of need: Palestinian diplomat” • US Secretary of Commerce counters […]

  • Israeli Government’s War Crimes

    Israeli Government’s War Crimes

    The humiliation of the U.S. government, which is actively complicit in providing the weaponry, funding, and UN vetoes backing the Israeli government’s attack on the civilian Palestinians/Arabs in tiny Gaza, is in plain view daily. All in the name of the unasked American people and taxpayers. Earlier this week, at a House of Representatives’ hearing, […]

  • Accidents of Eccentricity: Israel’s Pacific Hold

    Cunning, subtle, understated.  Israeli policy in the Pacific has seen United Nations votes cast in its favour, the foreign policies of certain countries adjusted, and favours switched.  While China may be considered the big, threatening beast competing alongside that large, clumsy figure called the United States, the small state of Israel is directing its expertise, […]

  • Panic-stricken Israel Lobby Shifts into Overdrive

    Panic-stricken Israel Lobby Shifts into Overdrive

    At Westminster the other day the UK Secretary of State for Defence (Grant Shapps) made a statement on military deployments to the Middle East which included questions and answers about the situation in Gaza. It was an opportunity for Shapps with help of pro-Zionist MPs to distort the facts to ‘justify’ Israel’s appalling crimes. The […]

  • Your Enemies Destroyed One Palestine; My Wounds Populated Many Palestines

    Malak Mattar (Palestine), A Life Stolen Before It Had Begun, 2023. The indecency of the phrase ‘humanitarian pause’ is obvious. There is nothing humanitarian about a brief interlude between bouts of horrendous violence. There is no true ‘pause’, merely the calm before the storm continues. We are witnessing the bureaucratisation of immorality, the use of […]
