  • U.S. Taxpayers Challenge Funding of Genocide

    “I did not consent to my tax dollars being used to commit violence against my own family. … It is a ludicrous and delusional expectation that we, the American taxpayers, will stand idly by while money that should be going to our education, healthcare and veterans is instead going on to fund more war crimes, and more deaths. Justice is inevitable, and we will make sure that the United States government is held accountable for their role in this genocide.”

  • “Syria’s New Rulers Get a Makeover”

    “The messages started appearing on my phone as soon as I left Syria in mid-January. At first, there were links to articles, and social media posts, about threats to Alawis and Christians. Then came friends’ accounts of scary incidents. One woman wrote that a police officer from the new government ordered her to cover her hair. Another told me a Sunni friend — a friend — threatened to kill her. A Christian businessman I’ve known for years texted that he would no longer send me anything political via WhatsApp, because the new government was watching.”


  • * “Abraham Accords a Confederacy of Killers” * Pakistan and India: “Art of Distraction”

    To date, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan have entered into these agreements which leave the issue of Palestinian safety and self-determination totally out of the picture.

  • 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.

  • War Crimes?

    WALTER ROCKLER Rockler, a Washington lawyer and a former prosecutor at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trials, said: “For some to shout ‘war criminal’ at Milosevic only emphasizes that those who live in glass houses should be careful about throwing stones.
