  • Trump Meeting with Ramaphosa

    “So although Pretoria’s Hague-centric Palestine solidarity (forgotten when it comes to Glencore-Motsepe’s massive coal sales to Israel to empower the genocidaires) probably can’t really be sacrificed aside from ‘dropping the megaphone’ (which was already done), we can expect Ramaphosa to offer Trump:…”


  • Israel Is Starving Gaza, a War Crime

  • 9/11 Widow: “Where Is Our Justice?”

    “Administration after administration has refused to confront the full truth of who enabled and benefited from the mass murder of 3,000 people in New York. Why the contempt for justice? Because truth, transparency, and justice for the widows and children left behind were never on the agenda.

  • Trump Attacks Scientific Expertise

    The Trump administration has continued its assault on scientific expertise. An analysis from a public health expert suggests that––more than simply tax cuts, ending regulatory oversight of corporations, or optimizing the privatization of government services––the undermining and destruction of public health expertise is part of President Trump’s larger culture war against universities, public schools, independent media, and other sources of civil society power.  JOSEPH FEINGLASS; [email protected]      Feinglass is a Research Professor of Medicine in the Division of General Internal Medicine and Geriatrics at Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine.  Feinglass told the Institute for Public Accuracy: “The Centers for Disease Control…


  • 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.”


  • A New Pope

    “Pope Leo XlV, as a missionary, go immediately to the concentration camp called Gaza. … You can deliver Pope Francis’ gift, the popemobile, to the starving, tortured children of Gaza.”


  • “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. One by one, the Arab countries entering into the Abrahamic Accords abdicate meaningful solidarity with Palestine in exchange for economic deals and access to state-of-the-art U.S. weapons which they use to subjugate domestic dissent and engage in foreign wars.

  • Harris’ Non-“Ceasefire”

    Kimberley added: “Is Harris calling for a ceasefire or is the president? She says this proposal is now on the table. So it isn’t new. … The word ceasefire has been co-opted. We must say end funding and weapons to Israel and no to displacing Palestinians in Gaza.” Journalist Laila Al-Arian writes: “She’s not calling…

  • Israel: Atrocities, Fabrications and Complicities

    “Civil society organisations around the world are demanding political leaders listen to the voice of the public. They want action to end the genocide now. To turn a blind eye is to be complicit.

  • 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.”

In one of the earliest tales of the Jataka-Mala, they recount a story of…

  • Doctors Without Borders: Israel Is Attacking Our Convoys

    Israeli forces have attacked our convoys, detained our staff, and bulldozed our vehicles, and hospitals have been bombed and raided.

    Regarding the ongoing International Court of Justice hearings on the legality of Israel’s 56-year occupation of Palestinian land, he noted: “This is the largest case in history — more than 50 countries are taking part in this, and the U.S. is virtually alone (but for Fiji) in defending the legality of Israel’s occupation. Most states are…

  • 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? Prest-0 change-o, Israel solves its Gaza problem. It gets to destroy Hamas (and Gaza along with it), unloads 80 percent of Gaza’s population on others, and Bibi Netanyahu…
