Failing Solidarity: How Cultural Prejudice Shapes Leftist Narratives on the War Against Iran

The so-called progressive political and media elites have cynically normalized the assassination of Iran’s leader, dressing up regime change as a moral necessity while denying Iranians the right to self-determination. In doing so, they expose a racist double standard that humanizes Israeli victims, dehumanizes Iranian lives, and buries the very principles of freedom, dignity and […]

Last Frontier for US-Israel World Hegemony
The goal of US-Israel is to wipe out the ‘Shia axis’, Israel’s only real barrier to seizing all Arab lands ‘from the river [Nile] to the [Arabian sea]’. All the Arab stateS except Ansar Allah’s Yemen are what we can call Arab Zionists, i.e., subservient to Israel. In a sense Israel already has hegemony over […]

Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society
I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” completely out of the blue. “Why don’t you turn your attention sometimes to the genocidal intent of the radical Muslims, or does that suit your racist narrative?” reads one tweet. “What can you say about […]

Ungrateful Lying Upstarts

Orientation Situating my article Often the rise of China and the Middle East appears to many Westerners as something recent, maybe 30 years old. Before that?

Economical Explanations: Reflection on the Aims of Past Wars and Wars to Come

Down at my grocer’s for half a dozen eggs and some melon, I answered the usual question about my well being openly as accustomed. My neighbour is a friend and his query is sincere. After recounting local concerns he expresses his frustration, one more people certainly share, that they can witness audio-visual depictions of the […]

Inconvenient Truths: The Shia Salah al-Din and 10/7

Salah El Din – Salah El Din El Ayoubi – Saladin and Richard the Lionheart Jerusalem’s hard-fought liberation, now in process, is a recapitulation of the Christian Crusades of the 11th-13th centuries, this time, not by the knight on a white horse of legend, but through the long march of guerilla warfare by the much […]

Haroon Siddiqui’s My Name is NOT Harry

Haroon Siddiqui’s 2023 memoir, My Name is Not Harry, is a dazzling journey through Indian Sufism, pre-partition Muslim-Hindu harmony, the horrors of partition, a leap across the ocean to the middle of nowhere (sorry, Brandon Manitoba), finally finding his home at the Toronto Star, from whence, back to central Asia (Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India during […]
