  • The Trumpet Sounds Again

    Before listening to Trump’s speech to the Knesset, I had no intention to write a summary of another soliloquy that praised Donald Trump. Two Knesset members made the only sensible statement during the oration, by showing their distaste for the utterances and being escorted out of the chamber of horrors. Haim V. Levy, The Times […]

  • Gaza Peace Plan is a Cruel Deception

    Decent, concerned people have been waiting impatiently for the UN General Assembly to use a ‘Uniting For Peace’ resolution to circumvent the US veto and intervene in Gaza with a protection force. Under this mechanism, when the Security Council is deadlocked, the authority to act passes to the General Assembly where the US has no […]

  • Trump’s Diplomatic Initiative: A New Dawn or Just Another Dusk?

    Prefatory Note: The post below is based on modified responses to questions addressed to me by Rodrigo Craveiro, a Brazilian journalist. The focus is on what to expect in the weeks ahead to follow from the Trump diplomatic offensive to bring an Israeli-crafted peace to fruition in Gaza, and broader stability to the entire Middle East. […]

  • Worlds Extinguished: Hostage Returns, Central Casting and the Gaza Ceasefire

    Depending on which source you consult, the twenty-point peace plan of President Donald Trump for securing peace in Gaza shows much exultance and extravagant omission. The exultance was initially focused on the return of the hostages. It then shifted to the broader strategic goals of the various parties. Commentary on this point, even as the […]

  • Blinkered Bowen

    Blinkered Bowen

    On the second anniversary of the 7 October attacks on Israel, with Middle East peace talks underway, BBC international editor Jeremy Bowen asked, ‘Will Israel and Hamas seize the chance to end the war?’ An honest, insightful analyst would have addressed the issue differently. First and foremost, the narrative framing of a ‘war’ would have […]

  • From There to Eternity

    I often wondered at the bewildering manner in which fellow Jews embrace a foreign nation and act against their own and their native country’s interests. Growing up in the Bronx, New York, in one of the largest and most homogeneous Jewish neighborhoods in the world, I encountered minor attachment to Zionism, even after Israel became […]

  • Allegiances to the Genocidaires, Military Offensive Weapons, and Finance Capital

    Allegiances to the Genocidaires, Military Offensive Weapons, and Finance Capital

    Note: So, the Newport News Times, AKA, Lincoln County Leader, has my op-ed below in the on-line version. So disappointed to see the print hardcopy version is missing this important Two Years going into the current genocide. I did reference the local politician, the representative, David Gomberg, Jewish, who got an all-expenses paid trip to […]

  • Canada’s Recognition of Palestine and the Enduring Logic of Colonial Erasure

    Canada’s Recognition of Palestine and the Enduring Logic of Colonial Erasure

    Newspaper: The Rights of the Palestinian People “The only way to stop this evil [loss of land], is for all the red men to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land as it was at first, and should be now — for it never was divided, but belongs to all for […]

  • Two Years of Resistance to Imperialist Barbarism!

    Two years after Al-Aqsa Flood, Palestinians Continue Their Fight for National Liberation and the Right to Exist! Today, October 7th, 2025, marks two years since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood changed the present and future of resistance not only in Palestine, but throughout the world. As we have stated previously, “the Black Alliance for Peace views the […]

  • State of Play in US-Israel’s Land-Grab Bid

    Trump, impatient to claim a Nobel Peace prize, bullies everyone into accepting a madcap peace plan that gives little or no consideration to the Palestinians’ future. Who gave him authority to decide such matters, and where are the United Nations in all this? And what about international law and the raft of UN resolutions on these […]
