Security Council delegations, led by the U.S. as the co-perpetrator of the genocide in Palestine, with the support of complicit countries like the U.K. and France, and with the cooperation of U.S. client states in the region, are conspiring to merge elements of the French-Saudi colonial plan, with the U.S. colonial plan, in order to get a U.N. stamp of approval for the further colonization of Gaza, the subjugation of Palestinian survivors, the buttressing of Israeli impunity, and the normalization of the Israeli regime in the midst of the genocide. It doesn’t have to be this way.“

  • Political Journalism in 2024

    “If you have one political party in a two-party system that has built lying, cheating, and stealing into its DNA, and the media treats [both parties] as equal actors, then the media is biased toward the party willing to lie, cheat, and steal. The Republicans get a booster seat from mainstream journalism.”

  • Israel’s Ethnic Cleansing Plans and the Ignored Barghouti Factor

    Silverstein continued: “Given the close security relationship between Israel and Egypt, the latter would certainly permit Israeli troops to enter the camps at will. Isn’t that convenient?
