  • Gaza: A Brutal Demonstration Of “Western Values”

    Gaza: A Brutal Demonstration Of “Western Values”

    I find Westerners in general, and Europeans in particular, extremely indoctrinated and obsessed with perceptions of their own uniqueness. Many see themselves as chosen people, after going through a one-sided education and after relying on their media outlets, without studying alternative sources. — André Vltchek, Soviet-born US political writer, 1963-2020. On 20 March 2006, on […]

  • Washington’s Unconditional Support for Israel Mirrors its Unconditional Support for Sectarianism

    Poor Ophelia divided from herself and her fair judgment Without the which we are pictures, or mere beasts…. — Hamlet (IV.v.) As was the case with the British and Roman empires that preceded it, Washington has long had a fondness for the divide and conquer paradigm and has ruthlessly fomented sectarianism in the post-Cold War […]

  • Western Racism laid the Foundations for Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

    Western Racism laid the Foundations for Israel’s Genocide in Gaza

    It should surprise no one that the prize-match fight for the rule of international law has pitted Israel and South Africa against each other at the International Court of Justice at The Hague. The world is split between those who have crafted a self-serving global and regional order that guarantees them impunity whatever their crimes, […]

  • Israel’s argument at The Hague: We are Incapable of Genocide

    Israel’s relationship with the United Nations, international institutions and international law has at times bristled with suspicion and blatant hostility.  In a famous cabinet meeting in 1955, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion famously knocked back the suggestion that the United Nations 1947 plan for partitioning Palestine had been instrumental in creating the State of Israel.  “No, […]

  • Neither Evidence nor Law will Convict Israel of Genocide

    If the International Court of Justice, AKA the World Court, convicts Israel of genocide or enjoins it from committing acts that contribute to genocide, it will not be on the basis of evidence or law. There will be deliberation before the fifteen judges announce their decision, but it will have little to do with the […]

  • Imperialism and anti-imperialism collide in Ukraine (Part 1 of 16)

    Yeah, because investing in the destruction of our adversary’s military, without losing a single American troop, strikes me as a good idea. You should feel the same. — Congressman Dan Crenshaw Premise Robert Jay Lifton and Greg Mitchell introduce their book, Hiroshima in America, with this imposing statement, “You cannot understand the twentieth century without […]

  • The World Court: A Glimmer of Hope and a Cloud of Doubt

    If the International Court of Justice rules that Israel has committed, and is committing, genocide, will it save Gaza? On January 11-12 the ICJ (AKA the World Court) will hear the petition  brought to it by South Africa. Specialists in International law Francis Boyle and (independently) Daniel Machover firmly believe that this is how the […]

  • University Presidents Carelessly Resign

    From their inception, the Zionists learned how to turn a loss into a gain, how to use debt as collateral, and enrich their interests. Twisting incidents so that their victim becomes the assailant and their assault makes them the victim has been their trademark. Taking a valid reproach to their damaging tactics and converting it […]

  • “Are We the Baddies?”

    The desperate smear campaign to defend Israel’s crimes highlights the toxic brew of lies that’s been underpinning the liberal democratic order for decades. In a popular British comedy sketch set during the Second World War, a Nazi officer near the front lines turns to a fellow officer and, in a moment of sudden – and […]

  • The Fate of the Palestinians

    Except for acceptances of United States requests during the Gulf and Lebanon Wars, Israel’s governments have nonchalantly proceeded with their plans, disregarding multiple United Nations (UN) Resolutions that affected them and eschewing suggestions from United States leaders. Knowing the history of the one-way relationship, why is President Joe Biden recommending the Palestinian Authority (PA) govern […]
