  • The desperation of Israel’s Qatar attack

    Israel might claim that they were not attacking Qatar per se, but rather Hamas in Qatar, but that is neither a distinction nor a difference. Qatar is considered neutral territory in the region, a place where representatives of Hamas, the Israeli government, the US, Egypt, and other interlocutors could meet and negotiate safely. Qatari territory […]

  • Buying Time: Israel’s Rogue Attack on Qatar

    It’s all part of a stratagem, bleak and brutal. With Palestinian recognition being promised by France, the UK, Canada and Australia at the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly, Israeli aggression is becoming more brazen and panicked. Time must be bought on one vital front: creating a Greater Israel, involving the annexation of […]

  • How to Stop Israel from Starving Gaza

    Israel has crossed the clear line into the darkest crimes. Israel, with US complicity, is committing genocide in Gaza through the mass starvation of the population as well as direct mass murders and the physical destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure. Israel does the dirty work.  The US Government funds it and provides diplomatic cover through its […]

  • Deja vu-Lebanon

    In 1982 the world watched as Israeli troops invaded Lebanon, taking over the capital city of Beirut. The Americans and International Community made a deal with Israel that if the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO) withdrew from Lebanon, Israel would retreat from Beirut. Under a guarantee that the women, children and elderly would be protected by […]

  • Those Who Condemn Hamas Lack Empathy And Humility

    Whenever I see someone going out of their way to denounce the Palestinian resistance while expressing some vaguely pro-Palestine sentiment, I take it as an admission that they aren’t capable of basic human empathy. They look at October 7 and think, “I can’t imagine myself doing that,” and conclude from this that the perpetrators of […]

  • Israel’s Bulldozers of Mass Destruction

    Israel’s Bulldozers of Mass Destruction

    Several people have been writing recently about the use the Israeli military has been making of Bulldozers of Mass Destruction (BMDs) in its erasure campaign in Gaza. On Tuesday, Haaretz published a wide-reaching investigation into the topic by Hagai Amit. It starts like this: In the week that has passed since I began working on this […]

  • Cancelling the Ethnic Cleansers: Australia Revokes Simcha Rothman’s Visa

    It is a curious feeling to see a government, let alone any politician, suddenly find their banished backbones and retired principles. The spine, on being discovered, adds a certain structural integrity to arguments otherwise lacking force and credibility. The recent spat between Israel and Australia suggests that Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s often insecure and often […]

  • The West is in Panic as Israel’s Plan for “Full Control” of Gaza Heralds a New Nakba

    The West is in Panic as Israel’s Plan for “Full Control” of Gaza Heralds a New Nakba

    [First published by Middle East Eye] If you thought Western capitals were finally losing patience with Israel’s engineering of a famine in Gaza nearly two years into the genocide, you may be disappointed. As ever, events have moved on – even if the extreme hunger and malnourishment of the two million people of Gaza have not […]

  • A Shield of Lies: Netanyahu’s Battle Against the World

    It was a sign of someone desperate that his message has failed to take wing and make its way to better lands. With the strategy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza Strip sundered and falling over, leaving only a thick butcher’s bill (over 60,000 deaths for starters), extraordinary suffering and humanitarian catastrophe, […]
