  • 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. When they are interviewed by Western outlets, it is either to quote a sentence or two responding to allegations made by Israel or the U.S. or to relitigate the events of October 7.

  • “Antisemitism” Being Used to Attack First Amendment

  • Medicare for All Reintroduced in Congress

  • 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.”

  • Is Israel Set to Shred International Law? How to Stop It

    “If Israel gets away with genocide, all of that nascent project of a world governed by human rights and the rule of law crumbles, and then it’s every person for themselves.”

  • Slaughters in Gaza and Yemen, Bombing Beirut — and Iran?

    AntiWar.com reports: “Sixty-Eight Reported Killed by U.S. Airstrike on African Migrant Facility in Yemen” and “Israeli Attacks on Gaza Kill 167 Palestinians in Three Days Amid Total Siege.”  Hala Jaber, author of Hezbollah: Born With a Vengeance, states: “Israel bombed Beirut’s southern suburbs again [Sunday night]. 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.…

  • The Pope and Palestine

  • 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.

  • 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. Signatories to the Genocide Convention are doing worse: in abrogation of their responsibilities under international law, many are continuing to enable…

  • 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.”

    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…
