  • 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 […]

  • Important Texts before the Trump Regime Starts Yet Another War on Iran and Its People

    Here is just a very short guide for the concerned: While you find little, or nothing, comprehensive, well-researched and meaningful in Western mainstream media, there are lots to be gained from every day visiting the online homes of, say, Al Jazeera, Al Mayadeen, the Middle East Eye — and others too, of course. Visit also […]

  • The US-Israel Hybrid War Against Iran

    The question is not if the US and Israel will attack Iran, but when. In the nuclear age, the US refrains from all-out war, since it can easily lead to nuclear escalation. Instead, the US and Israel are waging war against Iran through a combination of crushing economic sanctions, targeted military strikes, cyberwarfare, stoking unrest, and […]

  • Gaza Vanishing: Trump’s Board of Peace

    Donald Trump’s Board of Peace overseeing the reconstruction of Gaza was always going to raise a host of niggling questions. From the outset, the US President made it clear he would be the helmsman of what was essentially an outfit of selected corporate overseers tilling the soil for The Donald’s posterity fund. These anointed sorts […]

  • Israel And Its Supporters Deliberately Foment Hate And Division In Our Society

    I’ve noticed a lot of angry comments underneath my posts these past few days, which bizarrely mention the words “Islam” and “Muslims” completely out of the blue. “Why don’t you turn your attention sometimes to the genocidal intent of the radical Muslims, or does that suit your racist narrative?” reads one tweet. “What can you say about […]

  • Iran Rejects US Terms at UN Council

    DV coeditor Faramarz Farbod joined AnewZ.tv (Baku, Azerbaijan) this morning to discuss the escalating U.S.-Iran nuclear standoff and the sharp divisions at the UN Security Council over the status of UNSC Res. 2231, the snapback mechanism, the reimposition of sanctions against Iran, and uranium enrichment. The post Iran Rejects US Terms at UN Council first […]

  • Using the Slain: Israel Exploits the Bondi Beach Shootings

    Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu rarely passes an opportunity to comment upon the way Jews in other countries are treated. While the manic hatred directed against Jews remains one of history’s grotesque legacies, opportunism in the Netanyahu government is a ready instinct. With a customary sense of perversion, Netanyahu has managed to mangle Israeli policy, […]

  • Canada Must Arrest Israeli War Criminals

    Prime Minister Carney: It is time for Canada to display some integrity in upholding international law, particularly when it comes to the most flagrant international scofflaw, Israel. Up until now, Canada seems to have been supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestinians with supplies of weaponry and Israel’s criminal apartheid of Palestinians, along with its documented torture, […]

  • Gaza: Trump’s Fake Peace Plan Approved by UK

    Britain is a founding member of the United Nations and pledged to uphold international law and ensure UN resolutions are implemented – many of which (in relation to Israel-Palestine) have been waiting decades to be actioned. So why did Britain vote for Trump’s Gaza plan at the UN Security Council meeting when it was clearly […]
