  • Tactical Paranoia: Peter Dutton’s Palestinian Problem

    The philosophy of the dunce, and the politics of the demagogue, often keep company.  And Peter Dutton has both of these unenviable traits in spades.  The Australian opposition leader, smelling weakness in his opponent, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, has again gravitated to something he is most comfortable with: terrifying the kaka out of the Australian […]

  • On the Call Not to Protest in Chicago

    On the Call Not to Protest in Chicago

    Vice President Kamala Harris in August 2021. (White House /Erin Scott) Two college professors who studied and lived in the 1960s recently published an  opinion piece in The Los Angeles Times urging dissidents not to protest at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. The first paragraph is a stark example of uber-liberals suffering from Trump […]

  • We Must Oppose Israel’s Dangerous Gamble Before It’s Too Late

    Following World War II, Albert Camus posed a “formidable gamble” to those who had survived a tragedy of immense proportions. “We’re in history up to our necks,” he observed, yet we must wager that “words are more powerful than munitions.” “Leave or die” are the horrid words threatening largely unprotected Palestinian civilians in Gaza as […]

  • Nothing’s changed since 1948 except now Israel’s excuses don’t work

    Nothing’s changed since 1948 except now Israel’s excuses don’t work

    The headline above, about yet another Israeli operation to ethnically cleanse the Palestinians in the tiny, besieged and utterly destroyed enclave of Gaza, was published in yesterday’s Middle East Eye. When I began studying Israeli history more than a quarter of a century ago, people claiming to be experts proffered plenty of excuses to explain […]

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

    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. That country is not Israel, where he has been a hugely divisive figure for many years. It is […]

  • Political Pretence: The Democrats and the Palestinians

    The fact that the Democrats currently occupy the White House has done little to ruffle the equation of blood and gore in the Middle East, notably regarding the fate of the Palestinians.  The ongoing Israeli campaign of stunning ruthlessness against the Gaza unfortunates is certainly a worry for some Democratic strategists, if only because certain […]

  • Zionism: Managing Its Demise

    Zionism: Managing Its Demise

    It is increasingly becoming clear–even to some Western observers—that the Zionist project has run its course. It had an extraordinary run, but it has now reached the end of its settler-colonial track. The creation of this exclusionary settler-colonial Jewish state was a historical anomaly, among the greatest blunders of Western civilization in the twentieth century. […]

  • Solidarity as a Monolith of Love against Zionist Evil

    Jews are not a monolith. There are plenty of Jews who abhor the racism and violence of the Zionist faction of Jewry. Yet, many uninformed people consider Zionism to express the ethos of Jewishness. And it is clear that Israeli Jews are overwhelmingly supportive of Zionism. (See “Israeli Views of the Israel-Hamas War, “Polls Show […]

  • Even in Palestine, the Birds Shall Return

    Even in Palestine, the Birds Shall Return

    Rula Halawani (Palestine), Untitled XII from the Negative Incursion series, 2002. On 26 July, senior United Nations (UN) officials briefed the UN Security Council about the terrible situation in Gaza. ‘More than two million people in Gaza remain trapped in an endless nightmare of death and destruction on a staggering scale’, said Deputy Commissioner-General Antonia […]

  • The official death toll in Gaza is a lie: The casualty numbers are far, far higher

    The official death toll in Gaza is a lie: The casualty numbers are far, far higher

    The death toll in Gaza is way too low by every imaginable metric. We need to be stressing this – all the more so when Israel’s apologists are vigorously engaged in a disinformation campaign to suggest that the figures are inflated. On 6 May, 7 months into Israel’s slaughter, there were reported to be 34,735 […]
