  • 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,” […]

  • From the Darkness Must Come out the Light

    Having been awakened in the dead of night to an horrific screaming shriek, a blinding flash of light and cataclysmic explosion, followed by a bloody splattering of the body parts of one’s children, there will be one single motivating factor for the rest of a person’s life. And that motivation is not going to be, […]

  • 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 “Great Beast” Stirs as Palestine Explodes

    We are witnessing the sick relationship between the United States and Israel. — Egyptian podcaster Rahma Zain The outpouring of support for Palestine around the world in recent weeks has been a very encouraging sight.

  • The Doublethink of “Genocide Education”

    Fall 2023 is a strange time to be alive or to die. For example, “genocide education” is being instigated to enable current genocidal policies. The Nazi Holocaust is increasingly being deployed to justify killing and dispossessing Palestinians. Recently Israel’s delegation at the United Nations wore yellow stars, a symbol of Nazi persecution of Jews. The […]

  • A Ceasefire is Necessary But Not Sufficient: The Demand Must Be for Decolonization and Palestinian Self-Determination

    “The nightmare in Gaza is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a crisis of humanity,” UN Secretary-General António Guterres told reporters in New York, adding that the need for a ceasefire is becoming “more urgent with every passing hour.” Hundreds of thousands of people are demonstrating across the planet in opposition to the outrage of being […]

  • 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 […]

  • What Does LandBack Have to Do with the War Against Palestine?

    What Does LandBack Have to Do with the War Against Palestine?

    As horrible as Zionist atrocities against Palestinians are, we must not forget the fact that they reflect events that have happened for decades and that will continue to happen. They are the current chapter in repeated parades of mass extermination which have characterize capitalism since its birth. A recurring theme in the campaigns has been […]

  • Marching with the Multitudes Protesting the Siege on Gaza

    Marching with the Multitudes Protesting the Siege on Gaza

    Tens of thousands rallied in San Francisco on October 28 to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and then marched to disrupt traffic on the freeway to get the attention of an otherwise inattentive press. That demonstration joined multitudes globally protesting the on-going genocide. Signs read, “You can’t hide genocide.” “Genocide Joe” placards connected the dots […]

  • 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 […]
