    What Happens to Stories About Palestine in U.S. Newsrooms?

    Our latest visual, created in partnership with Prism Reports, visualizes a months-long Prism investigation conducted by journalist Laura Albast, on pro-Israel bias in mainstream U.S. newsrooms, particularly after Oct. 7, 2023. Read the full investigation here. Special thanks to Yara Ramadan for her design collaboration on this visual. The report takes a deep, investigative dive […]

  • Buying Time: Israel’s Rogue Attack on Qatar

    It’s all part of a stratagem, bleak and brutal. With Palestinian recognition being promised by France, the UK, Canada and Australia at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli aggression is becoming more brazen and panicked. Time must be bought on one vital front: creating a Greater Israel, involving the annexation of […]

  • Destroying Gaza City

    Destroying cultures and eradicating the legacies of a people is a game the parochial and the dim-witted delight in. While this should be shunned and punished in international law, a general discomfort of purpose seems to trouble the friends of Israel as the state goes about its business of ruining what vestiges of living might […]

  • How to Stop Israel from Starving Gaza

    Israel has crossed the clear line into the darkest crimes. Israel, with US complicity, is committing genocide in Gaza through the mass starvation of the population as well as direct mass murders and the physical destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure. Israel does the dirty work.  The US Government funds it and provides diplomatic cover through its […]

  • Deja vu-Lebanon

    In 1982 the world watched as Israeli troops invaded Lebanon, taking over the capital city of Beirut. The Americans and International Community made a deal with Israel that if the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) withdrew from Lebanon, Israel would retreat from Beirut. Under a guarantee that the women, children and elderly would be protected by […]

  • Opening Gaza to the Foreign Press Corps

    The Fourth Estate may not be in a good way, corrupted and compromised as it is, but in some instances, it remains the only light cast over the predations and ghastliness of power. For that precise reason, the state of Israel has been most cautious, to the point of folly, of shutting out foreign journalists […]

  • Those Who Condemn Hamas Lack Empathy And Humility

    Whenever I see someone going out of their way to denounce the Palestinian resistance while expressing some vaguely pro-Palestine sentiment, I take it as an admission that they aren’t capable of basic human empathy. They look at October 7 and think, “I can’t imagine myself doing that,” and conclude from this that the perpetrators of […]

    Israel’s Bulldozers of Mass Destruction

    Several people have been writing recently about the use the Israeli military has been making of Bulldozers of Mass Destruction (BMDs) in its erasure campaign in Gaza. On Tuesday, Haaretz published a wide-reaching investigation into the topic by Hagai Amit. It starts like this: In the week that has passed since I began working on this […]

  • Cancelling the Ethnic Cleansers: Australia Revokes Simcha Rothman’s Visa

    It is a curious feeling to see a government, let alone any politician, suddenly find their banished backbones and retired principles. The spine, on being discovered, adds a certain structural integrity to arguments otherwise lacking force and credibility. The recent spat between Israel and Australia suggests that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s often insecure and often […]

    Summer Days and Dark Nights

    One never knows where fascism “lite” might appear. We have one bumper sticker for our state which has confounded the foreign tourists along our coast: Qu’est-ce que ça veut dire . . . Qué significa . . . was bedeutet es? These French, Mexican and German tourists asked me last week, What does it mean […]
