The virtually universal ‘history’ of Israel’s founding is that it was done first by a “God” in Genesis as follows: Genesis 15:18-21 “On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham and said, ‘To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt [the Nile] to the great river, […]
History shows that famines are, for the most part, engineered. Be it through carelessness, selfishness or plain malice on the part of officialdom, creating the circumstances under which a population expires to hunger is a matter of construction. As the economist and Nobel Laureate Amartya Sen so powerfully showed in Poverty […]
A video has appeared online showing exhausted Jewish hostages. Hamas is willing to consider a solution to the problem in exchange for very minor concessions. The Palestinians want to eat just like Israeli prisoners. All that Hamas currently demands is to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. The Prime Minister of […]
“By getting Ukraine into Nato, we would send the crucial message to the Kremlin, the one Russians really need to hear. The message is: that’s it. It’s over. You don’t have an empire any more.” … Putin thought that aggression would pay off. Boris Johnson, “It’s time to let Ukraine join […]
At the end of July, Friedrich Merz held a major press conference. For several hours, the Chancellor answered journalists’ questions.

It was a sign of someone desperate that his message has failed to take wing and make its way to better lands. With the strategy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza Strip sundered and falling over, leaving only a thick butcher’s bill (over 60,000 deaths for starters), […]
To say that Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, had lost the plot is to assume he ever had one. With a dearth of ideas as to how to come up with a “final solution” to the Palestinian problem, he has received a majority approval from his cabinet colleagues to take […]
Hitler’s Germany was a hyper-aggressive, international-law breaking regime which genocided Jews, but Israel is a hyper-aggressive, international-law breaking regime (or ‘democracy’ — a racicst apartheid ‘democracy’) which genocides Gazans. Did Hitler’s regime have a right to exist? Does Netanyahu’s regime have a right to exist? In Israel’s case, the ethnic […]
It’s been almost an article of faith among Israeli officials: the state they represent is incapable of genocide, their actions always spurred by the noblest, necessary motivations of self-defence against satanic enemies who wish genocide upon Jews. Over time, as Holocaust scholar Omer Bartov writes, “Ethical concerns and moral qualms were […]
The American model of democracy, proclaimed as a paragon of freedom and popular sovereignty, has inspired millions of people worldwide for over two centuries. The Declaration of Independence of 1776 and the U.S. Constitution of 1787 laid the foundation for a system built on the principles of equality, liberty, and […]
