  • Israeli Milestones: From Six Day Victory to Six Month Failure

    In June 1967 Israel launched surprise attacks on its Arab neighbors and captured Gaza, the West Bank, Jerusalem and the Golan. With military and intelligence support from Lyndon Johnson’s administration, Israel shocked and overwhelmed its neighbors, largely destroying Egypt’s air force on the ground. Israel not only seized possession of these territories, they humiliated their […]

  • Genocide as a Strategy for Success

    The future always surprises us to some degree. But we make plans, anyway, based on our projections, and we adjust them when our predictions are at least partially wrong, which they always are, because they make assumptions based upon things that we take for granted, such as our health and that meteors and tsunamis will […]

  • Distinctions Without Difference: The Security Council on Gaza Passes

    The UN Security Council presents one of the great contradictions of power in the international system.

  • The Jewish Defense League is at Gaza’s Border

    Despite Palestinians in Gaza facing a genocide, despite indifference from those in Washington who could stop it, and despite glee from Tel Aviv and the majority of the Israeli population over the mass death and suffering, it would seem that there would be nothing more that could faze those of us who want justice for Palestine.

We had just arrived on the first boats to enter […]

  • UN Workers

    UN Workers

    Israeli forces have killed a record number of United Nations (UN) employees, making Gaza the deadliest place to be a UN worker in the 79-year history of the UN. Additionally, we now know that Israeli forces detained, tortured, and coerced UN employees to make false statements against UNRWA as part of a smear campaign against […]

  • Unaccompanied Children

    Unaccompanied Children

    Every Palestinian child in Gaza has a story of exposure to unimaginable Israeli military violence, including killings, traumatic injuries, mass displacement, hunger, destruction of whole neighborhoods, and separation from family members, which leaves lasting scars and trauma. No child should have to endure such burdens. The post Unaccompanied Children first appeared on Dissident Voice.
