  • A Clubbable Admission: Palestine’s Case for UN Membership

    I find it rather difficult to make it clear to my children why we are not eligible, for from one point of view it isn’t quite clear to me. X, “The Jew and the Club,” The Atlantic, October 1924. It must surely make certain ethnic and religious groups reflect, notably those languishing in minority status […]

  • A Modest Proposal: The UN General Assembly and Palestinian Recognition

    Despite being described in some circles as such, the latest vote in the United Nations General Assembly on Palestine’s status is hardly extraordinary.  For one, it does not vest the Palestinian territories with statehood but burnishes its credentials to join the club.  It pushes those scrappy, desperate entities so despoiled and abused into deeper involvement […]

  • Will a Gaza Ceasefire be as Successful as the Two-state Solution?

    Who proposed a two-state solution? Not the Palestinians. Not Israel. It was conceived in the young United Nations, and proclaimed there in November, 1947. But it was never successfully implemented, despite on-and-off negotiations continuing for the better part of a century. The Zionist leadership briefly promoted it prior to the 1947 UN vote, but only […]

  • Veterans Support Students Protesting Genocide in Palestine

    Veterans For Peace applauds the students who are protesting against the US/Israeli genocide in Palestine.  These courageous young students are doing the right thing at the right time. “The students are absolutely right, and they may actually be saving our humanity,” said Veterans For Peace president Susan Schnall. “Peace-loving people should applaud them, help them […]

  • Intervention in Gaza

    Is there a point at which the genocide in Gaza becomes egregious enough to provoke other countries to directly intervene in the Gaza Strip to prevent further genocide? Can Israel exterminate the entire population without anyone stopping them? This is not a rhetorical question. Intervention is not merely judgments by the International Court of Justice […]

  • Canadians Promoting Genocide

    In the name of protecting Canadian Jews many are promoting the cultural and physical erasure of a faraway people. Recently there’s been a push to suppress a traditional Palestinian garment. To the delight of many, the speaker of the Ontario legislature banned kaffiyehs from the provincial assembly. In a sign of support for this racist […]

  • Israel’s Anti-UNRWA Campaign Falls Flat

    The Israeli authorities, in their campaign of remorseless killing, doctoring and adjusting the numbers of the Palestinian populace for whatever future awaits, have been found wanting on accusations that Hamas terrorists packed, stacked and filled UNRWA (the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East). Not that this, in of […]

  • The Two-state Solution Lives Only in the Delusions and Cynicism of Western Politicians and Diplomats

    The Two-state Solution Lives Only in the Delusions and Cynicism of Western Politicians and Diplomats

    My wife is currently cancer free, but her chemotherapy caused her to gain a lot of weight, which she wants to lose. She says that she doesn’t have the will and self-discipline to change her diet or start an exercise routine. Instead, she seeks cures and promises from advertisers on social media for expensive fake […]
