  • Unfurling Love from the Window

    On April 30, when Columbia University student protesters took over Hamilton Hall, they renamed it “Hind’s Hall,” dropping a large banner out the windows above the building’s entrance. This was a hall famously occupied by students in the 1968 protests against the Vietnam War and against Jim Crow racism in the United States. The students […]

  • A Clubbable Admission: Palestine’s Case for UN Membership

    I find it rather difficult to make it clear to my children why we are not eligible, for from one point of view it isn’t quite clear to me. X, “The Jew and the Club,” The Atlantic, October 1924. It must surely make certain ethnic and religious groups reflect, notably those languishing in minority status […]

  • A Modest Proposal: The UN General Assembly and Palestinian Recognition

    Despite being described in some circles as such, the latest vote in the United Nations General Assembly on Palestine’s status is hardly extraordinary.  For one, it does not vest the Palestinian territories with statehood but burnishes its credentials to join the club.  It pushes those scrappy, desperate entities so despoiled and abused into deeper involvement […]

  • 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 Zionist leadership briefly promoted it prior to the 1947 UN vote, but only […]

  • Veterans Support Students Protesting Genocide in Palestine

    Veterans For Peace applauds the students who are protesting against the US/Israeli genocide in Palestine.  These courageous young students are doing the right thing at the right time. “The students are absolutely right, and they may actually be saving our humanity,” said Veterans For Peace president Susan Schnall. “Peace-loving people should applaud them, help them […]

  • The Israel-US game plan for Gaza is staring us in the face

    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 […]

  • Intervention in Gaza

    Is there a point at which the genocide in Gaza becomes egregious enough to provoke other countries to directly intervene in the Gaza Strip to prevent further genocide? Can Israel exterminate the entire population without anyone stopping them? This is not a rhetorical question. Intervention is not merely judgments by the International Court of Justice […]

  • Canadians Promoting Genocide

    In the name of protecting Canadian Jews many are promoting the cultural and physical erasure of a faraway people. Recently there’s been a push to suppress a traditional Palestinian garment. To the delight of many, the speaker of the Ontario legislature banned kaffiyehs from the provincial assembly. In a sign of support for this racist […]

  • Israel’s Anti-UNRWA Campaign Falls Flat

    The Israeli authorities, in their campaign of remorseless killing, doctoring and adjusting the numbers of the Palestinian populace for whatever future awaits, have been found wanting on accusations that Hamas terrorists packed, stacked and filled UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East). Not that this, in of […]
