Gaza: The Arsonist’s Laurels
There is a peculiar, and telling, absurdity to the coverage of the Trump Administration’s agreement between Israel and Hamas.

One could therefore be forgiven for thinking that leveraging this support […]

The West’s Dehumanization Of Arabs Is Completely Unforgivable

Thoughts on the Ceasefire News
Israel continued to hammer Gaza with military explosives on Thursday despite the announcement of the first stages of a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. Israel always does this.

Bernie Sanders Is a Ghoulish Zionist
Bernie Sanders finally issued a statement acknowledging the indisputable fact that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza after two years of adamantly refusing to do so. The statement begins as follows: “Hamas, a terrorist organization, began this war with its brutal attack on October 7, 2023, which killed 1,200 innocent people and took 250 hostages. […]
