Can Trump Demilitarize Gaza With Night Raids and Death Squads?
At the opening ceremony for Donald Trump’s so-called Board of Peace in Davos, Jared Kushner unveiled glossy images of his vision for a “new Gaza”: shining apartment towers, luxury developments, and sweeping views of the Mediterranean. There were no Palestinians at the ceremony—and none on the Board of Peace itself. In Kushner’s fantasy, Palestinians appear only as an absence, […]

“Self-Hating Jew, Kapo, What About Hamas?”

Zionists have attempted to teach me the following: 1) Because I am Jewish, all Palestinians clamor and scheme to have me erased from the Earth. 2) There is no such entity as the Palestinian people. Damn convenient: The people you are perpetrating a genocide upon do not exist. Damn odd: The people you are erasing […]

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 […]

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 […]

Israeli Torture Chambers Aren’t New; They Are What Provoked the Violence of October 7

For many years I lived just up the road from Megiddo prison in northern Israel, where new film of Israeli guards torturing Palestinians en masse has been published by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. I drove past Megiddo prison on hundreds of occasions. Over time I came to barely notice the squat grey buildings, surrounded by watch […]

What is the “Horrible and Evil Thing” in Historical Palestine?
Last month, the Jimmy Dore Show invited investigative reporter Ben Swann to speak to the myriad facts and evidence uncovered that point to the Israeli government and Israeli intelligence having known well in advance of the planned 7 October Hamas attack and welcoming it. It should be an explosive news piece if not for the […]

“Genocide Joe” and “Fascist” Trump: What to Do!
Joe Biden and other Democrat politicians portray the 2024 Presidential election as a choice between fascism and democracy. Many avowed “socialists” echo that assertion. Are they correct; or, are they misguided (given that the Party, which they back, is dominated by politicians who primarily serve capital and monstrous empire)? Palestine. Biden and most Congress people of both […]

“This Is A Sharp Time”: Israel’s “Day Of Joy”

In his very last article, ‘We are Spartacus’, published just a month before his death in December, John Pilger included a quote that exactly captured the truth of our time: ‘“This is a sharp time, now, a precise time …” wrote Arthur Miller in The Crucible, “We live no longer in the dusky afternoon when […]

Israeli Milestones: From Six Day Victory to Six Month Failure
In June 1967 Israel launched surprise attacks on its Arab neighbors and captured Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Golan. With military and intelligence support from Lyndon Johnson’s administration, Israel shocked and overwhelmed its neighbors, largely destroying Egypt’s air force on the ground. Israel not only seized possession of these territories, they humiliated their […]
