Pandora Box Has Been Opened, and No One is Trying to Close It
Lately the response of the world community to global events has become more and more ambiguous. While some countries define specific actions as an act of terrorism, the others consider them to be merely the way of protecting the interests of a certain state. Thus, on September 17-18 Lebanon was shocked by the series of […]

The US Sends Troops to Israel
The dangers should be plastered on every wall in every office occupied by a military and political advisor. Israel’s attempt to reshape the Middle East, far from giving it enduring security, will merely serve to make it more vulnerable and unstable than ever. In that mix and mess will be its greatest sponsor and guardian, […]

Gaza Lives: Resisting Cultural Genocide
By destroying universities, museums, libraries, and archives, Israel seeks to make our memory, whether it’s collective or institutional, inaccessible. It’s an assault on continuity. They want to force people out of Gaza but they also want to make sure if people return to Gaza they find nothing and dwell for eternity in this limbo of […]

Israel’s War on the United Nations
The United Nations is an easy body to hate. At times, it seems to be effusion without substance, body with no backbone.

So our brand-new prime minister has refused to rule out UK military involvement in any Israeli response to Iran’s recent missile attack, condemning what he calls Iran’s “malign role” in the Middle East.

Macron’s Arms Embargo on Israel Crumbles Under Scrutiny
Emmanuel Macron and the macaron have many similarities. Both the French President and the French dessert are airy and insubstantial and are loved by the rich elite. For these reasons, it was a surprise to many when Macron announced his support for an end to arms deliveries to the Israeli terrorist regime. For a neoliberal […]

One Year of Genocide, 100 Years of Colonization
Never in history has violence been initiated by the oppressed…There would be no oppressed had there been no prior situation of violence to establish their subjugation. Violence is initiated by those who oppress, who exploit, who fail to recognize others as persons… – Paulo Friere, Pedagogy of the Oppressed This week marks one year of […]

UN’s High Ideals Brought down by American Legislation
After a full year of unbridled genocide in Gaza, escalating slaughter in the West Bank, and now similar crimes inflicted on the Lebanese, Britain’s brand-new prime minister Keir Starmer made this astounding announcement the other day: “We stand with Israel.” He also has the UK military helping to protect Israel from Iran’s rockets while doing […]

The End Game in Palestine
I’ve appended an excellent article by Mike Whitney, which I read as I was starting to write this. It makes mine much shorter because it says much of what I intended, and better, with good references. It’s worth reading carefully, even if you find that much of it simply confirms what you suspected, with more […]
