  • Feeding Chaos: Israel Cripples Syria’s Defence

    The justifications are always the same.  We are moving into territory for security reasons. We are creating a temporary buffer zone from which tactical advantage can be gained against potential dangers.  Then, over time, these buffers become strategic fixtures, de facto real estate seizures and annexations.  Israel now finds itself in what was a United […]

  • The Fall of the Keystone in the Axis of Resistance

    For most of the time since its 1946 independence from France, Syria has resisted all attempts to make it a vassal state. It has paid dearly, as a target of subversion, war, occupation and the most onerous economic sanctions in the world, for its anti-imperialism and anti-Zionism, its support for resistance to the occupation of […]

  • From Relative “Peace” to Chaos

    Liberals and their Western allies, among the social-imperialist left in the U.S. and Europe, are celebrating the end of the government of Bashar al-Assad in Syria after the stunning sweep across the country by so-called “rebels” led by the Al-Qaeda offshoot, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS).  Their celebratory mood is informed by a tragic misunderstanding of […]

  • Incomplete Coverage of an Ominous Syrian Situation

  • FIFA is Whitewashing and Sportswashing Israeli Genocide and Sporticide

    Israel ‘Defense’ Forces, with unconditional support of the United States, have been waging a genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023, resulting in an unparalleled humanitarian catastrophe. They dropped over 85,000 tons of bombs, exceeding the amount of explosives used in World War II. More than 44,000 Palestinian have been killed, including over 16,000 children, 190 journalists, 1,000 health […]

  • Bringing Reality to the Palestinian Struggle

    The world ponders at the destruction that Israel has inflicted upon the Middle East and North Africa and questions why the United States serves as a surrogate force that assists Israel in accomplishing its purposes. How did a relatively few Zionists deceive an unknowing world to trust its cause and actions were legitimate, convince the […]

    Anti-Palestinian Racism

    Special thanks to G. Laster for research and design on these visuals. Last month, a year into an unending genocide against our loved ones in Palestine, my daughter, a senior in a public high school in the U.S., told me that she, along with a group of students, were planning a humanitarian walkout in solidarity […]
