  • The Fates of Gaza

    The Fates of Gaza

    What lies ahead is the beginning of something more difficult and greater. Ahead of us are years filled with sorrow that will never end, days of accumulated pain, and long hours of crying and lamenting. Our wounds are much deeper than they can easily heal. Surely, their scars will remain etched in us for as […]

  • Did you donate to send food to Gaza? Think again

    “HUNGER CATASTROPHE IN GAZA – DONATIONS NEEDED” cries Mercy Corps. “URGENT: STARVATION IN GAZA: ALL GIFTS MATCHED FOR GAZA” shouts Rescue.org. These and many other appeals from international relief organizations have motivated untold numbers of compassionate and generous souls to open their purses. You may be among them. If so, you may have thought that […]

  • Biden’s “Red Line” Continues to Move to Allow More Israeli Atrocities in Gaza

    For some time, President Joe Biden has claimed that there are limits to US support for Israel, that he cares about the loss of Palestinian life and that certain Israeli conduct (e.g., an invasion of Rafah, an Israeli-designated “safe zone”) would result in the loss of US backing.  The events of the past weeks have […]

  • To continue the Gaza genocide, Israel and the US must destroy the laws of war

    To continue the Gaza genocide, Israel and the US must destroy the laws of war

    The world’s two highest courts have made an implacable enemy of Israel in trying to uphold international law and end Israeli atrocities in Gaza. Separate announcements last week by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) should have forced Israel on to the back foot in Gaza. A panel of judges at […]

  • The Stuffing of Crime: Israel’s Rafah Strike

    It was much like witnessing a boy killing flies, with a slight afterthought of apology.  The spokesman for the Israeli Defense Forces, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, did little to acquit himself, or the cause, as to why more Palestinian civilians had been indulgently killed in yet another Israeli air strike. “Despite our efforts to minimize […]

  • “Extremely Harrowing”: British Surgeon’s Gaza Testimony Buried By The “MSM”

    “Extremely Harrowing”: British Surgeon’s Gaza Testimony Buried By The “MSM”

    Propaganda by omission is a dominant feature of the ‘mainstream’ news media. Indeed, it is a requirement. Rather than serving the public interest by fully exposing the brutal machinations of power, state-corporate media shield Western governments and their allies from scrutiny and focus the public’s attention on the crimes of Official Enemies. Israel’s genocidal attack […]

  • The Israel-US game plan for Gaza is staring us in the face

    The Israel-US game plan for Gaza is staring us in the face

    One does not need to be a fortune-teller to understand that the Israel-US game plan for Gaza runs something like this: 1. In public, Biden appears “tough” on Netanyahu, urging him not to “invade” Rafah and pressuring him to allow more “humanitarian aid” into Gaza. 2. But already the White House is preparing the ground […]

  • Sprouting from Death

    Sprouting from Death

    Rafah is already under attack; where will people go if Israel conducts a major offensive there?  Abed Rahim Khatib DPA via ZUMA Press It’s almost 5 am in al-Mawasi Rafah. And we’ve been hearing the sounds of Israeli bombs since midday yesterday. They’re intermittent, maybe two or three every couple of hours. There’s a saying […]
