    World BEYOND War Reports to United Nations on Canadian Weapons Supplied to Israel

    The United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories called for input for a report to the 58th session of the UN Human Rights Council. World BEYOND War has just submitted a report called “Involvement of Canadian Weapons Manufacturers in Commission of International Crimes Connected to Israel’s Occupation, Apartheid, Siege, and Genocide in the […]

  • Warring in Syria: New Phases, Old Lies

    A new bloody phase has opened up in Syria, as if it was ever possible to contemplate another one in that tormented land. Silly terms such as “moderate” are being paired with “rebels”, a coupling that can also draw scorn. What counts as news reporting on the subject in the Western press stable adopts a […]

  • FIFA is Whitewashing and Sportswashing Israeli Genocide and Sporticide

    Israel ‘Defense’ Forces, with unconditional support of the United States, have been waging a genocidal war on Gaza since October 2023, resulting in an unparalleled humanitarian catastrophe. They dropped over 85,000 tons of bombs, exceeding the amount of explosives used in World War II. More than 44,000 Palestinian have been killed, including over 16,000 children, 190 journalists, 1,000 health […]

  • Blinken Atrocious in a Dangerous World

    It is hard to credit one of the least impressive Secretary of States the United States has ever produced with any merit other than being a plasterwork that, from time to time, moved with caution on the world stage for fear of cracking.  On the stage, Antony Blinken’s brittle performances have been nothing short of […]

    Will Trump End or Escalate Biden’s Wars?

    A boy sits in rubble in Gaza. Photo Credit: UNICEF When Donald Trump takes office on January 20, all his campaign promises to end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours and almost as quickly end Israel’s war on its neighbors will be put to the test. The choices he has made for his incoming […]

  • “Too Much Evidence” of Genocide

    South Africa’s legal team has submitted hundreds of documents containing what it calls “undeniable evidence” as part of its ongoing genocide case against the state of Israel, with the South African representative to The Hague telling Al Jazeera that “The problem we have is that we have too much evidence.” The Israeli outlet Haaretz reports […]

  • The Test Case for Eradication of Life in Gaza

    North Gaza has become Israel’s feasibility test for its version of genocide: total eradication of all life. All of Gaza north of the Netzarim Corridor, created by Israel as a barrier between the northern metropolis and the rest of the enclave, is now sealed off from any supplies, and the extinguishers of life are eliminating […]

  • The U.S.-Israel Plan for the Gazans

    The U.S.-Israel Plan for the Gazans

    Dan Cohen, an American Jew whose family in Lithuania had been wiped out by Hitler’s forces, is one of the great investigative journalists on Israel-Palestinian affairs, and he headlined on October 21, “US authorizes CIA mercenaries to run biometric concentration camps in Gaza Strip.” He opened: The Biden administration has approved the deployment of 1,000 […]

  • Crippling UNRWA: The Knesset’s Collective Punishment of Palestinians

    The man has a cheek.  Having lectured Iranians and Lebanese about what (and who) is good for them in terms of rulers and rule (we already know what he thinks of the Palestinians), Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been keeping busy on further depriving access and assistance to those in Gaza and the West […]

  • The Escalator Grinds to a Halt

    It is apparently not much of an exaggeration to say that Israel’s attack on Iran fizzled. Some targets were hit and at least two Iranian soldiers were killed, but the ineffectiveness of the operation was probably due to several factors: Israel just doesn’t have the weaponry. Most of its missiles don’t have the distance, and […]
