  • Why is the National Guard in Syria?

    DeCamp is news editor of Antiwar.com and host of “Antiwar News with Dave DeCamp.” He just wrote the piece “Gunman Who Killed Three Americans in Syria Was Member of Syrian Government’s Security Forces,” which notes that President Trump and other U.S. officials “have called the incident an  ‘ISIS attack’ and have left out” the fact “that the perpetrator was a member of the Syrian military, which the U.S. has allied itself with despite HTS’s al-Qaeda past, and as of Sunday, ISIS hasn’t taken credit for the shooting.


  • Autopsy: “How Democrats Lost the White House”

    A new report by RootsAction, titled “How Democrats Lost the White House,” conducts an autopsy on the 2024 presidential election, concluding that Vice President Kamala Harris lost while courting “moderate” Republicans rather than speaking to her core bloc: Democratic working-class, young, and progressive voters. The pivotal factor in her loss, the autopsy suggests, was the drop in Democratic voter turnout. Harris received 6.8 million fewer votes than Joe Biden did in 2020. Support among young voters plummeted. 


  • Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices

    The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices met last week to vote on changes to CDC recommendations for the hepatitis B vaccine series for infants.

  • Google/YouTube Accelerating Attack on Free Speech on Palestine

    “The scale of content deleted specifically due to U.S. sanctions is also difficult to quantify since such decisions happen without transparency. A recent investigation by The Intercept revealed that YouTube quietly deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights organizations due to the Trump administration’s sanctions against the groups for assisting the International Criminal Court’s war crimes case against Israeli officials. The terminated pages accounted for at least 700 videos erased, many of which spotlighted alleged human rights abuses by the Israeli government.”

  • YouTube Deletes Musician’s Entire Catalogue

    “It seems abundantly obvious to me that everyone who believes in free expression, whatever side of various political equations they may be on, should be concerned about what YouTube just did to me.

  • Israel Bombing Tent Camp During “Ceasefire”

  • Honduras Election

    Hondurans voted in general elections Sunday and the results are still too close to call.

  • Irish Nobel Laureate Calls on Governments to Invoke Genocide Convention to Hault Israeli Attack

    “As the U.S. uses its veto to block action at UN Security Council, another legal way must be found and this means state can invoke Genocide Convention at the World Court. States such as Ireland, Brazil, South Africa, Colombia, Venezuela, Iran, Spain could help save the lives of Palestinians being cruelly slaughtered in an immoral…

  • Support for Israel Drives Anti-Muslim Sentiment and a New McCarthyism

    “Rather than engage these young people in debate and the free exchange of ideas, supporters of Israel are instead seeking to punish them for departing from what they consider acceptable opinion. The beginnings of a new McCarthyism are taking shape.”

  • Biden Ramming Through Israel Funding in “Unprecedented” Ways

    “’I’ve never seen anything like it,’ says Josh Paul, former director of congressional and public affairs for the State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs.

  • Israel’s Attacks on West Bank

    “The Israeli army closed the West Bank completely, no movement is allowed. In H2 in Hebron, the Israeli army is imposing [a] curfew on the families. Many families left their homes and many communities from area C left too.”

  • UN Official Resigns, Calling Israel’s Attack “Genocide” — Will a Nation Invoke the Genocide Convention?

    “With the International Criminal Court refusing for years to hold Israel accountable and with the U.S. government blocking everything at the Security Council, the application of the Genocide Convention may be the only remaining legal mechanism to stop what Israel is doing. All that’s needed is a State Party to invoke it to start the…

  • Israel Bombs Refugee Camp; “No Human Being Can Exist”

    “At any moment, without warning, at any time of the day or night, any apartment building in the densely populated Gaza Strip can be struck by an Israeli bomb or missile. Some of the stricken buildings simply collapse into layers of concrete pancakes, the dead and the living alike entombed in the shattered ruins. …”

  • In “Grotesque Hoax” Biden Admin Not Just “Green Lighting” Israeli Ethnic Cleansing — “It’s Bankrolling It”

    “Supporting Israeli efforts to forcibly transfer Palestinians to Egypt would make U.S. officials liable for complicity in war crimes. Article 8 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court includes the ‘Deportation or forcible transfer of population’ as a war crime. Article 25 of the same statute defines individual criminal responsibility and states that…

  • Biden Damaging His Re-Election Chances with Policy Toward Israel
