And then … it’s unimaginable to have children, whose lives depend on you, slowly starve while the water they drink makes them sicker.”

  • Is Israel Killing U.S. Citizens by Refusing a Cease-fire?

    “More signs, then, point to the possibility that a cease-fire could expedite the release of these civilian hostages.

Hamas has indicated it wants to use the Israeli soldiers it is holding in a deal to free the…

  • Israel and the “Systematic Destruction of People’s Ability to Survive”

    “As Rachel wrote to us shortly before she was killed, ‘This has to stop. I think it is a good idea for us all to drop everything and devote our lives to making this stop. I don’t think it’s an extremist thing to do anymore. I still really want to dance around to Pat Benatar…

  • ADL’s Aims are “Genocide” and “War”

    “The ADL is historically and presently a Cold War organization, it views the world in terms of the West and the Rest.

Echoing the language of right-wing panic about ‘socialism,’ the ADL’s…

  • Censoring Pro-Palestinian Speech; Attacks on Muslims

And it became necessary to distort the…

  • Hezbollah Expert: Hamas Trying to Follow in Hezbollah’s Footsteps, Israel Pursuing Exodus of Palestinians

    “How good is Israel at ‘defending itself’? We’re not seeing it significantly inflicting damage on Hamas’ infrastructure, only deliberate large-scale targeting of civilian areas. Those brandishing this ‘right’ must be fully aware that all Israel does is punish a population? In reality, all Israel seems to be doing is taking this opportunity to pursue a…

  • Noted Nonviolent Activist Deported by Israel on the Way Forward

    “I have spent my life advocating for Palestinians and Israelis to use nonviolent means to resolve their conflicts.
