  • Statehood = Self-determination = No Outside Interference

    But Trump, Kushner, Witkoff, Blair just don’t get it. And neither do those world leaders who signed up to Trump’s phony ‘Declaration for Enduring Peace and Prosperity’. Last week a Conservative MP in Westminster submitted a string of written Parliamentary questions about the UK’s recognition of Palestinian statehood: To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, […]

  • Gaza Crisis: Will Britain Ensure Peace Is Set in a Legal Framework?

    Baroness Chapman (Minister of State for International Development) has been telling Parliament: “We all wish this peace process well and will do everything we possibly can to see it sustained.” At the same time John Healey (Secretary of State for Defence), answering a question, said it was not the case that British troops were in […]

    The World Confronts the Genocide Washington Is Trying to Bury

    On October 4th, 2025, in an interview with Axios, President Trump stressed that one of the main goals behind his Gaza plan was to restore Israel’s international standing. “Bibi took it very far and Israel lost a lot of support in the world,” Trump said. “Now I am gonna get all that support back.” Under Trump’s plan, a […]

  • Reversing the Truth: The Gaza “Ceasefire” and British Complicity in Genocide

    We live in a time when truth is reversed in plain sight. Black is declared white, and white is declared purple with pink polka dots. Immunity appears to be assumed on the basis that a sufficient proportion of the screen-addled population are too gullible or distracted to notice. Thus, continuing the Nobel Committee’s ignoble tradition […]

  • Gaza Peace Plan is a Cruel Deception

    Decent, concerned people have been waiting impatiently for the UN General Assembly to use a ‘Uniting For Peace’ resolution to circumvent the US veto and intervene in Gaza with a protection force. Under this mechanism, when the Security Council is deadlocked, the authority to act passes to the General Assembly where the US has no […]

  • Trump’s Diplomatic Initiative: A New Dawn or Just Another Dusk?

    Prefatory Note: The post below is based on modified responses to questions addressed to me by Rodrigo Craveiro, a Brazilian journalist. The focus is on what to expect in the weeks ahead to follow from the Trump diplomatic offensive to bring an Israeli-crafted peace to fruition in Gaza, and broader stability to the entire Middle East. […]

  • State of Play in US-Israel’s Land-Grab Bid

    Trump, impatient to claim a Nobel Peace prize, bullies everyone into accepting a madcap peace plan that gives little or no consideration to the Palestinians’ future. Who gave him authority to decide such matters, and where are the United Nations in all this? And what about international law and the raft of UN resolutions on these […]

  • The West is in Panic as Israel’s Plan for “Full Control” of Gaza Heralds a New Nakba

    The West is in Panic as Israel’s Plan for “Full Control” of Gaza Heralds a New Nakba

    [First published by Middle East Eye] If you thought Western capitals were finally losing patience with Israel’s engineering of a famine in Gaza nearly two years into the genocide, you may be disappointed. As ever, events have moved on – even if the extreme hunger and malnourishment of the two million people of Gaza have not […]

  • Trump’s Fatal Move

    The headline read, “Trump tells Israel to ‘finish the job’ against Hamas.” Unexplained by Triumphant is why the United States is involved with determining the fate of Hamas. Has Hamas injured any American or threatened U.S. hegemony? Does Hamas have long-range ballistic missiles, tipped with nuclear weapons, that can reach the U.S. mainland? Does Hamas […]

    And we thought the Borscht Belt had died out. We have it in the corridors of power, in the White Man’s House, in every corner of media and the law. To take this to its silliness level: The name comes from borscht, a soup of Ukrainian origin (made with beets as the main ingredient, giving it a deep reddish-purple […]
