    Israel’s killing of aid workers is no accident. It’s part of the plan to destroy Gaza

    After six months – and many tens of thousands of dead and maimed Palestinian women and children later – western commentators are finally wondering whether something may be amiss with Israel’s actions in Gaza.

  • Palestine’s Sacrifice

    Years ago, I made the statement that Palestinians had not sacrificed enough. It was meant to be a shocking statement, but it wasn’t a judgmental one.

    War tax resisters are taking to the streets to call for an end to genocide and endless war. They are divesting from the taxes that fund war and investing in people, planet, and justice.

  • Killing Aid Workers: Australia’s Muddled Policy on Israel

    The Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese, was distraught and testy.  It seemed that, on this occasion, Israel had gone too far.  Not too far in killing over 32,000 Palestinians in Gaza, a staggering percentage of them being children.  Not too far in terms of using starvation as a weapon of war.  Not too far in […]

  • Killing Humanitarians: Israel’s War on Aid Workers in Gaza

  • Bishops Rapped over Feeble Response to Holy Land Genocide

    Are we seeing, at last, the beginnings of a revolution in the Anglican Church against its leaders’ cowardice over Israel’s genocide of Muslims and Christians in the Holy Land? On 31 October the Church of England House of Bishops issued a statement on Israel’s genocide against Palestinians which two clergymen in Cambridge found”profoundly inadequate as […]

  • Palestinians Will Remain on Palestinian Land

    Nabil Anani (Palestine), In Pursuit of Utopia #1, 2020. On 15 February 2024, Jared Kushner (Donald Trump’s son-in-law and former senior advisor during his presidency) sat down for a long conversation with Professor Tarek Masoud at Harvard University.
