    Only a Failing US Empire Would Be So Blind as to Cheer Netanyahu and his Genocide

    There is only one country in the world right now, in the midst of Israel’s slaughter in Gaza, where Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is guaranteed dozens of standing ovations from the vast majority of its elected representatives.

    7 Ways that Canada Must Support the ICJ Decision on Israel

    The World Court has cleared the fog hiding western support for Israel’s crimes

    Don’t be fooled. The ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on 19 July that Israel’s occupation of Palestine is unlawful is earth-shattering.

    Lock Them BOTH Up!

    During the 2016 election Trump fanatics chanted “Lock her up,” referring to Hillary Clinton. The tables have now turned. Trump is a convicted criminal and Biden violates international law.
