  • A Flawed and Dangerous Presence: US Troops in Syria

    Despite a focus on boxing China in the Indo-Pacific, US involvement in the Middle East continues to be widespread and problematic.  While Israel is given its regular steroid diet of murderous arms, US military personnel find themselves scattered throughout a myriad of bases and countries.  Recently, Kentucky Republican Senator Rand Paul decided that Syria should […]

  • We’ve Already Got a Dictator-in-Chief: How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

    We’ve Already Got a Dictator-in-Chief: How Absolute Power Corrupted the President

    Once a dictator, always a dictator. Power-hungry, lawless and steadfast in its pursuit of authoritarian powers, the government does not voluntarily relinquish those powers once it acquires, uses and inevitably abuses them. Likewise, any presidential candidate who promises to be a dictator on day one, if elected, will be a dictator-in-chief for life. Then again, the […]

  • Censoring Israeli Violence: Western Media Outlets Capitulate

    The cathedral of censorship is a vast, airy one.  In its embrace, texts are abridged, images removed, ideas scrubbed.  Historical inconveniences are filed and rendered inaccessible.  The only sermons tolerated will be those satisfying and serving the dictates of power. The power Israel disproportionately wields here, notably across a number of Western democratic states, is […]

  • No Good Outcomes for Israel’s True Believers

    No Good Outcomes for Israel’s True Believers

    Israel and the U.S. Empire are playing roulette. They are betting big on red, the color of blood, the worship of power and the logical outcome of ideological Zionism. Zionism has always been, as pointed out by its critics from the beginning, an intellectual current that leads to racism, war and authoritarianism just like other […]

  • On this Human Rights Day, Let Us Remember that the U.S. is the Greatest Violator of Human Rights in the World

    As the international community celebrates December 10th as International Human Rights Day, it is imperative that the world also affirm that violators of the fundamental human rights of peoples and nations will be held accountable. From the war in Ukraine to mass incarceration of Black, Latino and Native Peoples in the U.S. to Obama’s ongoing […]

  • What Sort of “Caring” Do Zionist Medical Faculty at U of T Teach?

    An exaggerated sense of self-importance and entitlement, hubris, chutzpah, racism while claiming victimhood and massively flawed thinking are the descriptors that come to mind when considering the 555 doctors at the U of T who signed an Open Statement to the University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine (TFOM) from Jewish Physician Faculty. The statement is […]

  • The View from Washington: Let the Killing in Gaza Continue

    Bloodletting as form; murder as fashion.  The ongoing campaign in Gaza by Israel’s Defence Forces continues without stalling and restriction.  But the burgeoning number of corpses is starting to become a challenge for the propaganda outlets:  How to justify it?  Fortunately for Israel, the United States, its unqualified defender, is happy to provide cover for […]

  • China Calls for a “Roadmap” to a Two-state Solution

  • Liberalism and Its Discontents

    These are difficult, perilous, and frustrating times. Many cherished beliefs are coming unraveled. Many once-shared values are no longer shared. And distrust of unshakeable institutions is widespread. Yet it was only a little more than three decades ago that North America and European intellectuals joined in acknowledging the triumph of the Western world’s “gift” to […]

  • Israeli Government’s War Crimes

    Israeli Government’s War Crimes

    The humiliation of the U.S. government, which is actively complicit in providing the weaponry, funding, and UN vetoes backing the Israeli government’s attack on the civilian Palestinians/Arabs in tiny Gaza, is in plain view daily. All in the name of the unasked American people and taxpayers. Earlier this week, at a House of Representatives’ hearing, […]
