  • Left response to antisemitism should be to call for BDS

    There’s been much debate on the left around the world about how best to respond to what appears to be rising antisemitism. What, if anything, is the best response? Some argue, mostly correctly, that raising the subject amidst Israel’s genocide in Gaza, bombing many of its neighbours, etc., is an attempt to deflect attention away […]

  • Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Palestine Exception Defeated in Court

    Last Friday afternoon, Ontario Premier Doug Ford launched an attack on free speech, instructing his Attorney General to file an emergency injunction to prevent the Al-Quds Day march from taking place in Toronto. Ford’s action came just one day after his meeting with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, and Israel’s Consul General in Toronto, […]

  • Europe’s Criminalization of Palestine Solidarity

    When Israeli forces bombed Iran in June 2025, German Chancellor Merz praised them for doing “the dirty work for all of us.” His statement exposes the roots of Europe’s military, economic, and diplomatic support for Israeli genocide and regional aggression.

    Discerning What a Real International Women’s Day Looks Like

    One day, March 8, International Women’s Day just doesn’t do justice for most girls on planet earth in the global south who will not reach womanhood.

  • Is “Parallel Left” U.S. Media-Funding Puffin Foundation Also Funding J Street “Lobby” Group?

  • Another US-Israel Sucker Punch

    A sucker punch is a punch delivered when the recipient of the punch is hit by surprise.

  • UK Opposition: “We do not believe that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide. The Israel Defence Forces do not deliberately target civilians.”

    UK Government: “I would not want to give the House or the public the impression that we have not taken significant steps in the course of the last 18 months.” Last week the House of Commons debated a motion on Parliament’s “obligation to assess the risk of genocide under international law” in regard to Occupied […]

  • The Media is Whitewashing Trump’s Board of Peace

    Imagine telling someone who has experienced the most apocalyptic conditions known to man to give their perpetrators a “chance.” That’s exactly what it felt like when I opened my phone the other day and saw headlines from The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal talking about Trump’s sham “Board of Peace,” which is supposed to […]

  • Precarious Invitations: Israel’s President Isaac Herzog’s Visit to Australia

    Things are getting rather ropey on the invitation of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to visit Australia on February 8. It came amidst the anguish following the Bondi Beach attacks of December 14, 2025 on attendees of a Hanukkah event by two gunmen, leaving 15 dead. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese obviously thought it a sensible […]
