  • The Only Right That Palestinians Have Not Been Denied Is the Right to Dream

    The Only Right That Palestinians Have Not Been Denied Is the Right to Dream

    Malak Mattar (Palestine), Gaza, 2024. On 26 January, the judges at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) found that it is ‘plausible’ that Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The ICJ called upon Israel to ‘take all measures within its power to prevent the commission of all acts’ that violate the UN […]

  • Liberating the Palestinians

    The daily grind of atrocities committed on the Palestinian people continues with one trajectory ─ extinction as a people and realignment into disbursed communities. Civil protests against the destruction, heroic actions by confrontation with the oppressor, dedication to the concepts of justice and freedom, and physical and monetary sacrifices by millions of people in the […]

  • Watching the Watchdogs: Law, Propaganda, and the Media Walk into a Bar

    This month, the world watched South Africa initiate International Court of Justice (ICJ) hearings on the genocidal acts Israel committed in Gaza. In a two-day session on January 11 and 12, the court heard the extensive evidence the South African legal team had gathered to support their case against Israel, and the rebuttal by the […]

  • The Reasonings by the 2 Dissenting Judges on the ICJ’s Genocide Case by South Africa against Israel

    The Reasonings by the 2 Dissenting Judges on the ICJ’s Genocide Case by South Africa against Israel

    There were 17 judges ruling on this case, including one from South Africa and one from Israel. Both of those two judges were not regular members of the Court but were included only because this ‘International Court of Justice’ was treating this matter as-if not “justice” (in criminal law — which this case was supposed […]

  • International Coalition to Stop Genocide in Palestine Welcomes Today’s ICJ Order; Demands its Implementation

    In its provisional ruling issued today on the South African Genocide Convention case against Israel, the International Court of Justice (ICJ—also known as the World Court) demanded Israel stop killing civilians and destroying civilian infrastructure and medical facilities; prevent and punish incitement to genocide by its top officials; and permit the delivery of humanitarian aid […]

  • The Willful Destruction of a People

    The US corporate media has maintained a near unanimous support for the Israeli destruction of Gaza – the home of 2.2 million Palestinians. While pundits engage in parlor games over what degree of violence is “justified” by the Hamas attack upon Israel, while public intellectuals fall in line with the gutless unconditional support of Israeli […]

  • Nasrallah: October 7 Foreshadows the Liberation of All Palestine

    […] I now come to the third part of my remarks, devoted to Operation “Al-Aqsa Flood”. This operation was launched on October 7 by our brothers from the Izz al-Dine al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas’ armed wing), and our brothers from Islamic Jihad and other Palestinian factions joined them. The causes which led to this operation were […]

    When “Leftists” use “Antisemitism” Smears to weaken Palestinian Solidarity 

    While it’s near impossible to sidestep nationalist, imperialist and supremacist ideas, “leftists” should at least not promote prevailing anti-Palestinian ideological strictures. Despite the horrors Israel’s unleashed in Gaza, some who ‘stand with Palestine’ still prioritize Jewish sensitivities over opposing Canadian support for genocide. In a hundred days 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, 60,000 seriously injured […]

  • “Not Wanting” A Wider Middle East War, the U.S. Has Started One

    “Not Wanting” A Wider Middle East War, the U.S. Has Started One

    You have to hand it to the U.S. and its henchmen for brazenness.  In order to protect their client state Israel and its genocide in Gaza, the U.S., together with the UK, have in one week launched air and sea attacks on the Houthis in Yemen five times, referring to it as “self-defense” in their […]
