  • Talking to Hamas: “Netanyahu is Lying”

    These movements are often portrayed in a cartoonish manner as irrational terrorists who want to kill for the sake of killing.

  • “Antisemitism” Being Used to Attack First Amendment

  • Skewed Coverage of the Vietnam War

    “Scapegoating the media fits neatly into ‘stab in the back’ theories of Americans who can’t stand the fact that their country lost a war to impoverished Vietnamese fighters. And praising the media as catalysts for the nation’s roused conscience gives undue credit while fostering illusions about mainstream news coverage of America’s wars.”


  • Israel Breaks Records in Killing Journalists

    Journalism is not a crime, but Israel treats it like one. It wants to suppress our voices. It’s inhuman and barbaric and an enemy of the truth because the truth is not in its favor. … The international media organizations have failed to protect Palestinian journalists.”

The Lebanese government, stripped of deterrence & forced by the U.S. to chase the fantasy of disarming Hezbollah, stood powerless, just as it has throughout 2,740 Israeli ceasefire violations since November, killing more than 190 people & injuring over 485. Seriously, this isn’t governance, it’s managed helplessness. Hezbollah, still adhering to the ceasefire, hasn’t retaliated once.…

    “If Israel invades Rafah as it is currently planning to do and inflicts tremendous civilian casualties on the Palestinians there that will undoubtedly happen, the ICJ will have more genocidal egg on its face just like when it refused to give me what I asked for in my Second Request for Provisional Measures of Protection…

  • Hollywood’s Big Backlash Against Glazer’s Oscar Speech

    “The letter even denied that an occupation actually exists — objecting to ‘the use of words like ‘occupation’ to describe an indigenous Jewish people defending a homeland that dates back thousands of years.’ Somehow the Old Testament was presumed to be sufficient justification for the ongoing slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza, most of whose ancestors…

  • U.S. Still Hindering Ceasefire as European Group Demands Action on Gaza

Even if TikTok ceased to exist tomorrow, foreign governments would still have access to the personal data of Americans via U.S.-based big tech companies because the business model is fundamentally predicated on selling data for targeted…

  • Is the Targeting of TikTok Actually About Israel?

    “This bill is nothing but an attempt to censor young Americans’ progressive political education, activism, and organizing under the guise of protecting national security.
