  • The Politics of Premature Adjudication: The Bondi Royal Commission

    Royal commissions are often held to confirm the obvious and squeak for modest change. They offer no binding remedies, have no compellable powers against the government of the day, and can, despite claiming to be independent, be susceptible to interest groups. They are also expensive, laborious, often lengthy, and serve as a pacifying agent, absorbing pressure and […]

  • Confronting Genocide with Civil Disobedience

    While the secret signals and surveillance facility at Pine Gap in Northern Australia, officially named the Joint Defence Facility Pine Gap (JDFPG) is billed as a joint affair between Australia and the United States, it is nothing of the sort. Just as offices direct the callow intern to make the coffee, Australian officials remain America’s […]

  • Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society

    I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” completely out of the blue. “Why don’t you turn your attention sometimes to the genocidal intent of the radical Muslims, or does that suit your racist narrative?” reads one tweet. “What can you say about […]

  • The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine

    The Impending US Colonial Administration over Gaza, Palestine

    Behind the diplomatic language of ‘reconstruction’ and ‘stabilisation’, a new colonial framework for Gaza is being assembled. The following is why the latest Security Council resolution matters and what it sets in motion. On 17 November, the UN Security Council approved a draft resolution authored by the United States endorsing President Donald Trump’s plan for […]

  • Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

    Western elites fear a ‘globalised intifada’ because they are its targets, not Jews

    Western establishments’ fear of the phrase “Globalise the intifada” has little to do with any danger supposedly posed to Jewish populations from its use. The threat is posed by the slogan’s central idea, not by some specific target. “Globalise the intifada!” is the modern equivalent of “Power to the people!” – a slogan long used […]

  • Using the Slain: Israel Exploits the Bondi Beach Shootings

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, […]

  • First International Day Against Unilateral Coercive Measures

    In June of 2025, the United Nations General Assembly designated December 4 as the annual International Day against Unilateral Coercive Measures, urging States to stop using such measures (commonly called “sanctions”) because they violate international law and impose collective punishment. Last night, the SanctionsKill campaign and partners honored the day by inviting speakers to discuss […]

  • NDP Takes Orwellian World View to Deny My Candidacy

    NDP Takes Orwellian World View to Deny My Candidacy

    Up is down. Right is left. International law is whatever empire says it is. Democracy is following our rules. The audacity, chauvinism and absurdity of the NDP vetting committee is a sight to behold. To justify denying party members the right to choose whether they want me to lead the party, the three-person backroom committee […]

  • 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, […]
