  • Zen And The Art Of New York Times Headline Writing

    Zen And The Art Of New York Times Headline Writing

    The New York Times has just published one of the most insane headlines I have ever seen it publish, which is really saying something. “Gaza’s Deadly Aid Deliveries,” the title blares. If you were among the majority of people who only skim the headline without reading the rest of the article, you would have no idea that […]

  • Israel is fully integrating its Gaza ‘food aid hubs’ into the genocide

    Israel is fully integrating its Gaza ‘food aid hubs’ into the genocide

    It is entirely unsurprising that Israel has yet again been caught out in a lie – a lie that the BBC once again spread far and wide on its news services. Israel claimed that it had not fired at starving Palestinians queuing on Sunday morning to get food from one of its highly militarised “aid […]

  • To Be a (REAL) Jew

    In 1988 I was travelling from NYC to Arizona by plane one night. It was a long 5 hour flight, and we were on a jumbo jet. I was standing alongside this man, early 40s perhaps, who said he was an Israeli engineer. During our conversation, I asked about his feelings on the Palestinian situation, […]

  • Jeremy Bowen’s Interview with Gaza Aid Chief was Shameful

    Jeremy Bowen’s Interview with Gaza Aid Chief was Shameful

    There was no excuse for the BBC to follow Israel in treating the head of UNRWA as though he is aligned with terrorism. This kind of craven journalism just makes Israel’s job of genocide easier. There was yet more shameful reporting by BBC News at Ten last night, with international editor Jeremy Bowen the chief […]

  • Theroux’s Film on Israel’s Violent Settlers Was a Mirror

    Theroux’s Film on Israel’s Violent Settlers Was a Mirror

    For once, the BBC aired a documentary showing Israeli society’s dark underbelly. The backlash is not because Louis Theroux got it wrong. It’s because his film tells us far too much about ourselves Louis Theroux explains in a commentary published by the Guardian on 10 May why the backlash to his recent film about violent, […]

  • A Moral Imperative for the 2025 Canadian Election

  • Maura Finkelstein on Academic Freedom, Jewish, Zionism, and Palestine

    Host Faramarz Farbod talks with Dr. Maura Finkelstein, writer, ethnographer, anthropologist, and author of The Archive of Loss: Lively Ruination in Mill Land Mumbai (DUP 2019). Dr. Finkelstein was falsely accused of antisemitism and fired last May (2024) from her teaching position at Muhlenberg College in Allentown. We talk about the state of academic freedom, […]

  • Not Taking a Position on Gaza IS Taking a Position on Gaza

    It’s not okay to claim ignorance or uncertainty about what’s happening in Gaza in 2025. You’re an adult. You have internet access. If you don’t know, learn. You can’t just go “it too compwicated, me no understandy, googoo gaga.” It’s not cute and it’s not okay. Grow the fuck up. Not taking a position on […]

  • Israel Stalls and the International Court of Justice Complies

    One year ago, the International Court of Justice ruled that Israel had fifteen months to prepare their defense (“counter memorial”) against the charges of genocide filed by South Africa. They were told to present their arguments by 28 July 2025. That seems like a very long time in a case involving the daily killing of […]

  • Trump Massacres Yemenis so Israel can Massacre Palestinians

    Trump Massacres Yemenis so Israel can Massacre Palestinians

    On April 17, US airstrikes on Yemen killed 74 people and injured 171 in a dangerous escalation of US President Donald Trump’s war against the poorest country in the Middle East. A resident of the area around Yemen’s Ras Issa fuel port told Chinese media that “among the victims were employees, truck drivers, contracted workers, […]
