  • The Hamas Resistance to Israel and Iran’s Involvement

    I was “interviewed” by an Iranian journalist online (15 October) about the Hamas-Israel conflict and Iran’s involvement. My answers are below. During the war between Hamas and Israel, some sources in America and their affiliated media reported that Iranian money was blocked in Qatar again, which was later denied. Do you think there was a […]

  • The US Left Must Unwaveringly Stand for Palestinian Freedom

    The US Left Must Unwaveringly Stand for Palestinian Freedom

    The US “socialist” left currently playing the bothsides-ism game with Israeli genocide of Palestinians in the name of some bullshit notion of ‘nuance,’ must remember the words of Howard Zinn: “You can’t be neutral on a moving train.” Nothing is accomplished with an abstract support of Palestine when it’s convenient. It is when the empire’s […]

  • Israel is Your God (Dammit)

    Israel is Your God (Dammit)

    Many thousands of us protested the Zionist abomination at the Los Angeles Israeli consulate on October 14. Miscellaneous thoughts: With the US stymied in Ukraine, failing to slow the BRICS and getting no traction on Taiwan, it appears that it’s going to fire up the war on/of terror again using the Israeli fuse. RFK Jr. […]

  • Media Disinformation and Selective Outrage Are Key Pillars of Israel’s War Propaganda Arsenal

    Headlines have been dominated since Saturday by the surprise Hamas attack against Israel and the Netanyahu government’s response. By Monday, Israel had formally declared war against the Islamist group and moved tens of thousands of troops toward Gaza in what looks like preparation for a full-blown ground invasion. Most controversially, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu […]

  • Postcards from a Police State: 22 Years of Blowback from the USA Patriot Act

    Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country. — Hermann Goering, German military commander […]

  • The Geopolitics of Al-Aqsa Flood

    Photo Credit: The Cradle Hamas’ Operation Al-Aqsa Flood was meticulously planned. The launch date was conditioned by two triggering factors. First was Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu flaunting his ‘New Middle East’ map at the UN General Assembly in September, in which he completely erased Palestine and made a mockery of every single UN resolution on the subject. Second […]

  • Statement of Solidarity with Israel/Palestine

    We are outraged by, mourn deeply, and unequivocally condemn the horrific actions of Hamas. According to Israeli sources, more than 1,200 people were killed and 2,900 injured, most of whom were civilians, and over 100 individuals (including children, women, and the elderly) were taken as hostages into Gaza. Tikkun magazine and Beyt Tikkun: A Synagogue […]

  • Stop Nakba 2.0!

    Words cannot express our worry and fear for the two million civilians of Gaza.  Over the weekend, Israel has ordered half the population of Gaza to move to the south of the territory, and has taken actions that suggest they plan to dispossess millions of Palestinians from Gaza – literally a Nakba 2.0.  Seemingly indifferent, […]

  • A Shot across the Bows of WW3

    Anyone else notice a colossal decoupling of old left and new right? Former adversaries allied against COVID have fallen foul to the oldest trick in the book – divide and rule. On one side, erstwhile defenders of freedom joined forces with establishment mouthpieces in their condemnation of Palestine and endorsement of Netanyahu’s promise to raze […]

  • A Strategic Nightmare Sneaks into Washington’s Political Agenda

    A Strategic Nightmare Sneaks into Washington’s Political Agenda

    Illustration: Liu Rui/GT A simultaneous war with China and Russia is a strategic nightmare that sober American strategists such as Henry Kissinger have been warning the US to avoid at all costs, and it is also a topic that some US media outlets have become more and more fond of talking about in recent years.
