  • The North-South Project Reclaims Human Rights as People(s)-Centered

    December 10th, International Human Rights Day, represents one year since the launch of the North-South Project for People(s)-Centered Human Rights. The North-South Project seeks to address the contradiction of the human rights idea being co-opted and instrumentalized as a weapon of white supremacist colonial domination and exploitation. The PCHR frame emerged to counter that. Rooted […]

  • Trump, Infantino, and the FIFA Peace Prize

    He craves it, and, to some extent, his desire was satisfied. President Donald Trump did get a peace prize. Not the peace prize picked out by self-important Norwegian non-entities, but the inaugural curiosity of FIFA, an organisation famed for opacity, corruption and graft. What the critics missed in all of this was its sheer appositeness. […]

  • The Radical Left Meets the Extreme Right

    In the last decades, Democracy has become “just another word,” a political force that allowed Wall Street financiers, corporate elites, and global speculators to siphon a major portion of the world’s wealth into their bank accounts. Rejecting neo-liberalism and globalism, the radical left and extreme right grow in popularity, each with competing visions of freedom, […]

  • If Trump Is Serious About Peace, Marco Rubio Has to Go

    If Trump Is Serious About Peace, Marco Rubio Has to Go

    Donald Trump campaigned on ending endless wars and now boasts that he has resolved eight wars. In reality, this claim is delusional, and his foreign policy is a disaster. The United States remains mired in ongoing wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and now Trump is careening blindly into new wars in Latin America. The […]

  • Canada Must Arrest Israeli War Criminals

    Prime Minister Carney: It is time for Canada to display some integrity in upholding international law, particularly when it comes to the most flagrant international scofflaw, Israel. Up until now, Canada seems to have been supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians with supplies of weaponry and Israel’s criminal apartheid of Palestinians, along with its documented torture, […]

  • Go Tell It on the Mountain: Genocide is Wrong

    Israel and its partners continue waging genocide against Palestinian people. Those who, so far, have survived the hideous attacks since October 7, 2023, now face ongoing jeopardy. Hemmed in by yet another military border, over two million Palestinians in “East Gaza” live amid rubble, unexploded ordnance, decaying corpses, starvation conditions, and the uncertainties of inhabiting […]

  • The Trolling and the Pity

    The Trolling and the Pity

    Kenn Orphan writes: Phil, I see you have been under a deluge of hate and mockery from online Zionists after a few of your pieces on the genocide in Gaza. What do you think is behind such a reaction? I am suspecting that there is a real fear amongst these groups that they are losing […]

  • Review of No Neutrals There: US Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine

    Review of No Neutrals There: US Labor, Zionism, and the Struggle for Palestine

    In author Jeff Schuhrke’s own words: This book tells the story of why and how US labor became one of Israel’s most stalwart defenders and generous benefactors through the Zionist State’s tumultuous and controversial history. Importantly,  this is also the story of  Palestinian trade unionists and various  rank-and-file union members – including Arab-Americans, anti-Zionist Jews, […]

  • Gaza’s Prolonged Purgatory

    A ceasefire can be a strange thing. The assumption, generally speaking, is that the parties to it restrain themselves for a period of time, ordering their forces and disciplining their charges from straying. But straying happens, transgressions inevitable. Some are genuine enough: silly misunderstandings, hot headed confusion, a fear that the other side has broken […]

  • News Junkie? Those Daily Newspaper Days, the Competing AM v. PM Dailies

    News Junkie? Those Daily Newspaper Days, the Competing AM v. PM Dailies

    “Basically, financial reporting is this sinking hole at the centre of journalism. You start by swimming around it until finally, reluctantly, you can’t fight the pull anymore and you get sucked down the drain into the biz pages.” It is an amazing g-force terminal velocity, neck whipping mad mad mad mad world of cardboard characters, […]
