  • 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. The war in Ukraine, the Saudi war on Yemen, the current war on Gaza — these risk few U.S. lives directly but enrich U.S. oligarchs substantially. …”

  • Israel, U.S. Campuses, and the “Fragility of the Coloniser”

    “For the first time Israel has lost legitimacy among young people in the U.S. Zionists are losing the argument. With their usual propaganda no longer effective, they have turned to the blunt imposition of power, censoring and penalising any expression of support for Palestinian freedom.”

  • Biden Threatens Houthis in Yemen as They Try to Force Israeli Ceasefire

    “Yemen has been under a U.S.-supported, Saudi-led blockade for over eight years and Gaza is under siege. The results have been horrific. Yet no one cared and now, a military coalition is coming to aid Apartheid Israel while it is committing Genocide in Gaza.”

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

    “It’s stunning that the Democratic leadership is sticking with Biden. … Racial justice activists, Arab-American activists, Muslim-American activists, young people of all colors including Jewish young people, are appalled by what Biden has done in Gaza. And many of them are announcing that they won’t be voting for Biden even if they live in swing states.”

  • Supreme Court Takes Up Mifepristone Access

  • “Washington is a Direct Partner in the Israeli War on Gaza”

    “In other words, Washington is a direct partner in the Israeli war on Gaza.

  • 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…

  • Did Iran Attack Diego Garcia?

    “The mysteries surrounding the alleged missile attack on Diego Garcia could be clarified if the U.S. government provides evidence about the missiles involved, their trajectories, and thus their potential firing range. Until government or independent evidence emerges, observers should avoid repeating unverified claims and drawing conclusions based on statements from governments that stand to benefit…

  • President Jared Kushner?

  • Netanyahu and Trump Following Neocon “Creative Destruction” Plans

    “This idea did not emerge overnight. It was articulated most clearly in a 1996 policy paper titled ‘A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm,’ prepared for then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by a group of U.S. neoconservative strategists, including Richard Perle.” 

  • “Empire’s Genius” — From Iran to Pakistan and Beyond

    “The billions of dollars’ worth of weapons left behind after the American withdrawal did not dissolve into poetry. They entered a region already saturated with proxies, covert channels, ideological militias, and states that have perfected the art of denying authorship while enjoying the consequences. Empire’s genius, if one must flatter it, lies not in choosing one…

  • What Joe Kent’s Resignation Means About the Iran War

    “The reality is that for every person like Joe Kent, who speaks out and resigns over policy, many do not. Kent’s criticism that the war on Iran is an unnecessary war driven by Israeli interests is a view that many within the U.S. government likely hold as well. It certainly is a view held by…

  • Gulf Countries Crackdown

    “Since the beginning of the war on Iran, GCC [Gulf Cooperation Council] countries have launched a sweeping crackdown on freedom of expression.

They have charged activists with treason and…

  • UN Security Council Again “Bows to U.S. Empire”

    UN whistleblower Craig Mokhiber just posted: “For the second time in four months (see res. 2803), the UN Security Council has today bowed to the US empire (and its vassals) and ignored international law on its behalf, and neither Russia nor China have acted to stop it through their veto rights. In the middle of the…
