  • How can the British Establishment maintain credibility in proscribing a non-violent direct action group as a terrorist organization?

    In proscribing Palestine Action as a terrorist organization, along with criminalizing many of those who have challenged this government policy decision, the British Government has opened itself up to criticism and ridicule. In the past few months alone, there have been over 2,000 politically motivated arrests, mostly of elderly people who have held up placards […]

  • Extending the Cultural Boycott of Apartheid South Africa to Israel

    I have been informed by the leadership of what might best be described as the “black consciousness movement” of Azania (South Africa) that a formal call to include Israel in the “cultural boycott” of South Africa will be issued from inside South Africa within the next few weeks. The Black Consciousness Movement was started under […]

  • The ICJ, Israel, and Humanitarian Aid in Gaza

    Few times in its history has the International Court of Justice been this busy, if ever. For anyone ignorant of the world court’s existence till now, it has blanketed news coverage with provisional orders and advisory opinions on the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza. Each order is accompanied by another layering of exasperation and, it must […]

  • The Zionists Have Speared Mr Fish

    The Zionists Have Speared Mr Fish

    Cartoonery is a powerful weapon against the powerful – richly deserving of satire. How privileged we are to benefit from so many cartoonists who perennially spring from nowhere to harness a craft that transcends language barriers and cuts through literary density. The rogue state of Israel has naturally provided bounteous raw material for the graphic […]

  • Reversing the Truth: The Gaza “Ceasefire” and British Complicity in Genocide

    We live in a time when truth is reversed in plain sight. Black is declared white, and white is declared purple with pink polka dots. Immunity appears to be assumed on the basis that a sufficient proportion of the screen-addled population are too gullible or distracted to notice. Thus, continuing the Nobel Committee’s ignoble tradition […]

  • The Trumpet Sounds Again

    Before listening to Trump’s speech to the Knesset, I had no intention to write a summary of another soliloquy that praised Donald Trump. Two Knesset members made the only sensible statement during the oration, by showing their distaste for the utterances and being escorted out of the chamber of horrors. Haim V. Levy, The Times […]

  • Gaza Peace Plan is a Cruel Deception

    Decent, concerned people have been waiting impatiently for the UN General Assembly to use a ‘Uniting For Peace’ resolution to circumvent the US veto and intervene in Gaza with a protection force. Under this mechanism, when the Security Council is deadlocked, the authority to act passes to the General Assembly where the US has no […]

  • Trump’s Diplomatic Initiative: A New Dawn or Just Another Dusk?

    Prefatory Note: The post below is based on modified responses to questions addressed to me by Rodrigo Craveiro, a Brazilian journalist. The focus is on what to expect in the weeks ahead to follow from the Trump diplomatic offensive to bring an Israeli-crafted peace to fruition in Gaza, and broader stability to the entire Middle East. […]

  • The West’s Dehumanization Of Arabs Is Completely Unforgivable

    The West’s Dehumanization Of Arabs Is Completely Unforgivable

    In October 2024, a Lebanese writer named Lina Mounzer wrote, “ask any Arab what the most painful realization of the last year has been and it is this: that we have discovered the extent of our dehumanization to such a degree that it’s impossible to function in the world in the same way.” I’ve thought […]

  • It was never a Gaza ‘war’. The ‘ceasefire’ is a lie cut from the same cloth

    It was never a Gaza ‘war’. The ‘ceasefire’ is a lie cut from the same cloth

    [First published by Middle East Eye] Ceasefires stick because the two sides in a war have reached military stalemate – or because the incentives for each side in laying down their arms outweigh those of continuing the bloodshed. None of this applies in Gaza. The past two years in the enclave have been many things. But […]
