In recent months, the Israeli Defense Forces have been much taken by a term that augurs poorly for peaceful accord in the Middle East. “Security zones” are being seized in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon and Syria. Land is, for claimed reasons of self-defence, being appropriated with brazen assuredness. It is […]
President Donald Trump is acting faster than other political leaders of his generation. In a dozen weeks, he has already overturned “American imperialism” in favor of his “exceptionalism.” This is still not the end of the problem, but it represents a considerable step forward for both the United States and […]
The world is awaiting an initial decision (to come after 28 July 2025), in the case “South Africa v. Israel” (that link to the case is to it at the U.S.-Government-controlled Wikipedia and is therefore slanted favoring Israel against South Africa, but provides at least the facts that Israel’s side acknowledges). (The […]
Jewish nazism — that’s to say Jewish racist-supremacist expansionist nationalism, or “Zionism” — is now being enforced by the far-righting Israeli President Netanyahu against dissenters in his own military, though not yet as forcefully as Hitler did in his German variety of this ideology (he had such dissenters promptly executed; […]
As Iran and the United States prepare for a new round of indirect nuclear negotiations in Muscat on April 12, 2025, much of the media coverage remains focused on tactical concerns—sanctions, uranium enrichment levels, or the potential for a temporary deal.

The recent visit of Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi to Moscow, culminating in a high-profile meeting with President Vladimir Putin, is more than a symbolic gesture of deepening Sino-Russian ties. It marks a broader realignment—or perhaps the illusion of one—within the international system, where the United States appears increasingly unable […]
It was yet another unwelcome development for Mark Zuckerberg’s technology titan Meta, the parent company of Facebook. The High Court of Kenya has found that the US-based entity can be sued over its alleged role in disseminating content that incited violence in neighbouring Ethiopia. While the case can be heard […]
At first glance, Russia’s proposal to mediate between Iran and the United States may seem like a pragmatic step toward easing regional tensions and stabilizing a new Eurasian order. As a key player in the Tehran-Moscow-Beijing axis, Moscow appears eager to use diplomacy to bridge the longstanding rift between Tehran […]
July is expected to be the busiest month in 2025 for countries of the Global South, as Rio de Janeiro will host the BRICS summit. Last year, Kazan united 25 heads of state, as well as 12 other high-ranking government officials and UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres in what has […]
