  • From Gaza with Rage

    The repeating Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza are beyond my own comprehension.  For at least 10 of the last 40 days, missiles have rained down on the most densely populated refugee camp in all of Gaza. And it is not just the days; it is also the nights. The bombing is […]

  • The Ideological Mystification of Palestinian Resistance

    In the Zionist ideological architecture, any discourse on Palestine has to be prefaced by the question “Do you condemn Hamas?” The underlying rationale of this question is that anti-colonial violence is a symbol of “barbarism” that needs to be met with absolute contempt. In its place, we are enjoined to follow the path of “civilization,” […]

  • The Militarised University: Where Secrecy Goes to Thrive

    For anyone wishing to bury secrets, especially of the unsavoury sort, there is one forum that stands out.  Call it a higher education institution.  Call it a university.  Even better, capitalise it: the University.  This is certainly the case in Australia, where education is less a pursuit of knowledge as the acquiring of a commodity, […]

  • Genocide is Israel’s Strategy

    Israel is losing the battle. They cannot afford to remain fully mobilized this long, even with unlimited US financial support. It is estimated that despite limited commercial flights, more than a quarter million Israelis have left the country. This is also the number that have evacuated settlements in both the south, in a large radius […]

  • The Two-State Solution for Palestine Has Long Been a “Joke” Even In United Nations Circles

    For decades, the most widely touted solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict has been based on the idea of two independent states — one Israeli and one Palestinian — encompassing separate parts of the historic land of Palestine. Known as the “two-state solution,” it has long been the agreed-upon framework by the United Nations (UN), most […]

  • Showboating for War: Johnson and Morrison in Israel

    Banished Prime Ministers are an irritation.  They clog the airwaves of punditry with their views about how things were and how things should be.  But even there, degrees of severity and competence should be observed.  The more noble sorts would pursue the goals of peace, even as they bag large wads of cash in stating […]

  • Denying the Security of the Oppressed Imperils the Security of the Oppressor

    Denying the Security of the Oppressed Imperils the Security of the Oppressor

    Presumably, if Israeli Jews were not occupying the majority of historical Palestine, laying siege to Gaza, oppressing, humiliating, dehumanizing, liquidating, and refusing statehood to the Palestinian people that Hamas, a Palestinian resistance, would not have been driven to launch an attack on Israelis. Placing the Palestinians under oppression, occupation, and siege was an undeniable denial […]

  • Gaza: Where is Hezbollah?

    Gaza: Where is Hezbollah?

    Following the spectacular “Al-Aqsa Flood” operation launched by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza, the army of occupation has inflicted an unprecedented level of massacre and destruction on its defenseless civilian population, trapped in the world’s largest concentration camp. While Israel’s official stated aim is the annihilation of the Palestinian resistance, its unofficial objective seems to […]

  • What the BBC Fails to Tell You about October 7

    What the BBC Fails to Tell You about October 7

    The BBC’s Lucy Williamson was taken once again this week to view the terrible destruction at a kibbutz community just outside Gaza attacked on October 7. As we have been shown so many times before, the Israeli homes were riddled with automatic fire, both inside and out. Sections of concrete wall had holes in them, […]

  • Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

    Oh, Wow, It’s Raining JDAMs and White Phosphorus Again

    I’ve been thinking for quite awhile how the most depraved position of the Israeli government becomes the baseline view here in the United States, particularly in politics and media. It makes sense that the genocidal, racist, colonial project of Israel would find admiration in the ruling class of a nation founded on indigenous genocide and […]
