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 […]
In July 2025, an image circulated in the media: a girl with a dirt-streaked face, disheveled hair, and an empty pot in her hand, staring in horror at a large pot of half-cooked food. A group of children, clutching their pots tightly, rushed crying toward a bucket of food. This […]
Impotence takes various forms. Before the daily massacres, incidents of starvation and dispossession of Palestinians taking place in the Gaza Strip with primeval cruelty, international impotence in the face of actions by the Israeli state has become a mockery of itself. The calls to end the war in Gaza grow […]
The odious idea of a camp within a camp. The Gaza Strip, with an even greater concentration of Palestinian civilian life within an ever-shrinking stretch of territory. These are the proposals ventured by the Israeli government even as the official Palestinian death toll marches upwards to 60,000. They envisage the […]
Israel’s Auschwitz is called Gaza, and at the start of the current Gaza operation, on 27 October 2023, it had had 2.2 million residents, which is probably more people than were killed in any genocide after the Holocaust. At present, the likelihood that any significant numberl of them will survive this […]
Emmanuel Macron came to power in 2017 as a politician of a new kind: a technocrat, unbound by traditional parties, a champion of modernization, progress, and European integration. He was positioned as an alternative to rising populist and radical political figures. Yet by the midpoint of his second presidential term, […]
