Will a Gaza Ceasefire be as Successful as the Two-state Solution?
Who proposed a two-state solution? Not the Palestinians. Not Israel. It was conceived in the young United Nations, and proclaimed there in November, 1947. But it was never successfully implemented, despite on-and-off negotiations continuing for the better part of a century.

The Israel-US game plan for Gaza is staring us in the face
One does not need to be a fortune-teller to understand that the Israel-US game plan for Gaza runs something like this: 1. In public, Biden appears “tough” on Netanyahu, urging him not to “invade” Rafah and pressuring him to allow more “humanitarian aid” into Gaza. 2. But already the White House is preparing the ground […]

The Jewish Defense League is at Gaza’s Border
Despite Palestinians in Gaza facing a genocide, despite indifference from those in Washington who could stop it, and despite glee from Tel Aviv and the majority of the Israeli population over the mass death and suffering, it would seem that there would be nothing more that could faze those of us who want justice for Palestine.

Poll in Israel: 74% of Jews, 17% of Arabs, Endorse Completing the Genocide
Rafah is the southwesternmost city in Gaza, and until now it had a population of around 28,000, but 1.4 million Gazans are now sheltering there after having evacuated from Israel’s bombing of them in the rest of Gaza; and, so, if Israel now extends its air force’s fully U.S.-armed bombing campaign into that city, then […]
