  • Israel Illegally Attacks Flotilla to Gaza

    “The Israel regime’s attack on yet another humanitarian flotilla is a grave breach of international humanitarian law, a violation of the law of the sea, an extension of its genocide in Palestine to international and Greek waters, and a product of the impunity granted to it by complicit Western states. The regime’s lawlessness is shared by every state with ships in the Mediterranean or citizens on board the flotilla that could have protected the flotilla but did not. They must act now.”


  • Lindsey Graham’s Path to a Civil War in Lebanon

    “The State Department said in a statement last week that the U.S. is in conflict with Iran “at the request” of Israel, an acknowledgment of Israel’s role in steering the U.S. into the war, which the U.S. has dubbed ‘Operation Epic Fury.’ The statement was issued by the State Department’s legal adviser, Reed D.

  • The War Powers Resolution Is Not What You’ve Been Told

    “The same law says that a president who launches a war in any of those three situations, then has 48 hours to submit his first report explaining himself, and 60 days after that report (62 days total — plus a possible extra 30) to entirely knock it off. But none of those three situations exists. So, the president must immediately knock it off — must, in fact, have never started the war.”


  • The “Wonderful” War on Iranian Pistachios

    “The Resnick family, owners of The Wonderful Company and dominant players in California’s pistachio industry, have used political influence to secure vast water rights in drought-stricken regions, at the expense of local communities.

  • Is Lebanon Giving Up Its Sovereignty for “Peace?”

    “This afternoon the young man seen running from the vehicle received a call from the Israeli army telling him he could die alone or die with his family in the car.

    “If the Lebanese government enters into a devil’s pact with the U.S.-Israel Axis to attack its own people and to surrender its own sovereignty on behalf of the Israeli regime, this will be the beginning of the end for Lebanon. Israel is betting it can provoke a civil war, and then sit on the sidelines laughing as Lebanon bleeds. Only Lebanese unity will preserve its independence and save it from the tyranny of the U.S.-Israel Axis.”
