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; […]

The next round of negotiations is currently taking place in Saudi Arabia. While the Europeans are trying to destabilize the situation in Ukraine and are doing everything to spur […]
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is waging a war on many fronts. He has ended the tense ceasefire with Hamas in Gaza in spectacularly bloody fashion and resumed bombing of Hezbollah positions in southern Lebanon. Missiles fired at Israel from the Houthi rebels in Yemen also risk seeing a further […]
On March 21st, Steve Witkoff, who is Trump’s only successful international negotiator — he arranged the ceasefire in Gaza, and the communications between Trump and Putin regarding Ukraine — was interviewed for 88 minutes by Tucker Carlson here https://tuckercarlson.com/tucker-show-steve-witkoff “Steve Witkoff’s Critical Role in Negotiating Global Peace” and the crucial […]
On March 15th, Chris Hedges headlined “On the Precipice of Darkness: Normalizing genocide and the new world order”, and opened: My old office in Gaza is a pile of rubble. The streets around it, where I went for a coffee, ordered maftool or manakish, had a haircut, are flattened. Friends […]
