  • Where is it Leading?

    Note: This article was being completed just before the attack on a Jewish holiday celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia. A previous article ─ The Radical Left Meets the Extreme Right: Allied against Jewish support for Israel ─ remained unfinished. The connection between hostility to apartheid Israel and the strengthening of the extreme right, […]

  • 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, […]

  • 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, […]

    In the Time of the Open Secret: Palestine and the Fundamental Choice of Our Era

    “Imperialism is capitalism in that stage of development in which the dominance of monopolies and finance capital has established itself; in which the export of capital has acquired pronounced importance; in which the division of the world among the international trusts has begun; in which the division of all territories of the globe among the […]

  • 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 Rise Christian Nationalism and the Ending of a Friendship

    Recently, a friend since high school, an individual, a self-identified, as of late, Christian-nationalist, curtailed — in the stark, cold manner that I have witnessed true believer Christians are prone — our friendship due to a recent article of mine in which I called out the fascistic elements of Christian-nationalism and genocide-apologist aspects of Christian […]

  • Mainstream Smears Mean the System Fears Your Ideas

    A rightist columnist just labeled me “repellent,” while a left establishment commentator publicly proclaimed, “fuck Yves Engler”. Canada’s ideological apparatus is whipped into a frenzy over my multilayered challenge of Canadian foreign policy and my NDP leadership campaign’s activist anti-capitalism. On Friday, the ever-reliable Israel-no-matter-what supporter Rosie Dimanno labeled me “the repellent Yves Engler”. The […]

  • From There to Eternity

    I often wondered at the bewildering manner in which fellow Jews embrace a foreign nation and act against their own and their native country’s interests. Growing up in the Bronx, New York, in one of the largest and most homogeneous Jewish neighborhoods in the world, I encountered minor attachment to Zionism, even after Israel became […]

  • Will California Zionise K-12 Education?

    Factual information about Israel and Palestine may soon be outlawed in the California K-12 school system. Assembly Bill 715 is currently on Governor Newsom’s desk. The legislation was recently rushed through the California legislature, amended just days before passage, and voted on at 1 a.m. with almost no time for public comment. The hurry is […]
