  • Left response to antisemitism should be to call for BDS

    There’s been much debate on the left around the world about how best to respond to what appears to be rising antisemitism. What, if anything, is the best response? Some argue, mostly correctly, that raising the subject amidst Israel’s genocide in Gaza, bombing many of its neighbours, etc., is an attempt to deflect attention away […]

  • Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s Palestine Exception Defeated in Court

    Last Friday afternoon, Ontario Premier Doug Ford launched an attack on free speech, instructing his Attorney General to file an emergency injunction to prevent the Al-Quds Day march from taking place in Toronto. Ford’s action came just one day after his meeting with Israel’s Ambassador to Canada, Iddo Moed, and Israel’s Consul General in Toronto, […]

  • Ending the Trump-Netanyahu War in the Middle East

    The Israel-US war on Iran is engulfing the entire Middle East and could escalate to global war. The economic consequences are already severe and could become catastrophic. The Strait of Hormuz carries approximately one-fifth of all oil traded globally, and 30 percent of the world’s LNG. A sustained closure of the Strait would trigger an energy shock without […]

  • Europe’s Criminalization of Palestine Solidarity

    When Israeli forces bombed Iran in June 2025, German Chancellor Merz praised them for doing “the dirty work for all of us.” His statement exposes the roots of Europe’s military, economic, and diplomatic support for Israeli genocide and regional aggression. To sustain their “business as usual” policy toward Israel, European governments are criminalizing Palestine solidarity. […]

  • Is “Parallel Left” U.S. Media-Funding Puffin Foundation Also Funding J Street “Lobby” Group?

    Most U.S. Antiwar Movement organizers and U.S. Antiwar Movement supporters in the current decade are opposed to the U.S. power elite government’s bi-partisan policy of continuing to ship weapons to the genocidal Israeli war machine in 2026.

  • Another US-Israel Sucker Punch

    A sucker punch is a punch delivered when the recipient of the punch is hit by surprise. As such a sucker punch indicates cowardice — that the sucker puncher did not have courage and decency to announce his intentions to engage in fisticuffs or battle. The current sneak attack (a so far failed attack) to […]

    Remembering Aaron Bushnell

    In front of the Israeli Consulate in downtown San Francisco, a memorial to Aaron Bushnell took place on Wednesday February 25.

Leaders of local Veterans […]

  • UK Opposition: “We do not believe that Israel’s actions in Gaza constitute genocide. The Israel Defence Forces do not deliberately target civilians.”

    UK Government: “I would not want to give the House or the public the impression that we have not taken significant steps in the course of the last 18 months.” Last week the House of Commons debated a motion on Parliament’s “obligation to assess the risk of genocide under international law” in regard to Occupied […]

  • Iran’s Comprehensive Peace Proposal to the United States

    The Middle East stands at a crossroads between endless war and comprehensive peace. A framework for peace does exist. Will the US finally seize it? History occasionally presents moments when the truth about a conflict is stated plainly enough that it becomes impossible to ignore. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi’s February 7 address in Doha, Qatar (transcript here) should […]

  • The Media is Whitewashing Trump’s Board of Peace

    Imagine telling someone who has experienced the most apocalyptic conditions known to man to give their perpetrators a “chance.” That’s exactly what it felt like when I opened my phone the other day and saw headlines from The Washington Post and Wall Street Journal talking about Trump’s sham “Board of Peace,” which is supposed to […]
