  • Beyond U.S. Isolation at UN: What’s Not Being Done

    “The U.S. government is continuing to veto and delay at the UN Security Council as Israel violates international law with its bombing in Gaza and other actions. There’s a whole host of things that should be happening under international law that are not being done. This is partly a result of U.S. government obstruction, but there are other factors as well. Any country could go to the International Court of Justice and invoke the Genocide Convention, that would produce a preliminary measures order in about three weeks. The General Assembly can use Uniting for Peace to get around the U.S.…

  • 20 Things You’re Not Supposed to Know About the War on Gaza

    “The ideal war for the U.S. government and the weapons dealers that have such control over it is a war fought with U.S. weapons by non-U.S. fighters.

  • As Democratic Establishment Sticks with Biden, Is Trump’s Vengeful Return More Likely?

  • 153 Countries Vote for Ceasefire, UN Can Do Much More

    Going to the ICJ, also known as the World Court, is especially urgent given that the International Criminal Court has effectively become an instrument of U.S. policy and will not lift a finger to help the Palestinians. Secretary-General of the UN António Guterres took far too long to invoke Article 99 of the UN Charter. He should now call what Israel is doing ‘genocide.’ The UN General Assembly can suspend Israel from participation in its activities as it did for South Africa and Yugoslavia. It can admit Palestine as a full member. And it can establish a tribunal to prosecute…

  • Congress Integrating U.S. and Israeli Militaries

    “Congress has once again defied the will of the American people and moved us one step closer to fusing our military industrial complex with Israel’s. Even worse, they’re not even willing to have an honest, public debate about the issue. They just keep pushing this dangerous proposal forward behind closed doors. And, the reason they’re…

  • Has “the Two-State Solution” Become a Disingenuous Fantasy?

  • Netanyahu and Perpetual War

    Trita Parsi writes: “Tehran believes Washington brokered the Lebanese-Israeli agreement — which contradicts the U.S.-Iran MOU by conditioning Israel’s withdrawal from Lebanon on Hezbollah’s disarmament — to enable Israel to retain key positions that would weaken Hezbollah’s ability to support Iran in the next war. … What is clear is that the outlook of Iranian strategists…
