    In the midst of extensive coverage of the war in Gaza, there are questions that the U.S. mass media should address: 1.

  • Background Facts about Gaza

    Secretary General Antonio Guterres recently said, “the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum.

  • The Day Guterres Became Relevant

    The relevance given to a UN Secretary-General is often judged by the degree of controversy caused.  In history, the most relevant are usually targeted.  Dag Hammarskjöld, refusing to remain a mere bauble of international office, was almost certainly murdered over his intervention in the Congo civil war in 1961.  The least relevant (who was that […]

  • Justifying Collective Punishment: Israel’s Assault on Gaza

    This is another Iraqi WMD moment. We are being gaslit

    Let’s say it again: The BIGGEST fake news comes from the establishment media. When the stakes are high, it barely bothers to hide its role as mouthpiece for Western propaganda. This is another Iraqi WMD moment. We are being gaslit. Believe your eyes and ears, and the laws of physics, not the lies being peddled […]

  • The Hamas Resistance to Israel and Iran’s Involvement

    I was “interviewed” by an Iranian journalist online (15 October) about the Hamas-Israel conflict and Iran’s involvement. My answers are below.
