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 […]
Recognition or Reputation Repair? Europe’s Delicate Diplomatic Balancing Act In recent weeks, France and Britain alongside countries like Ireland, Spain, and Norway have announced their recognition of a Palestinian state. This move was immediately met with harsh reactions from Israel, criticism from the U.S., and a barrage of media attacks […]
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 former leader of the fundamentalist-Sunni ISIS and al-Qaeda forces in Syria, al-Jolani (renamed al-Sharaa) has now suffered his first military defeat at the hands of the fundamentalist-Jewish Israeli Government, which is determined to keep parts of Syria and will now be free to take more of it. This defeat […]
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 […]
Donald Trump’s conversations with Vladimir Putin lead nowhere. The American does not want the end of the war between Ukraine and Russia, but Putin’s surrender. Trump does not understand the cultural code of Russia, does not understand why this war is needed at all. However, at the same time, he […]
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 […]
In July 2025, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu submitted a letter of nomination for U.S. President Donald Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize. In the world we imagined decades ago—where the Nobel Peace Prize once evoked memories of Martin Luther King Jr., Desmond Tutu, or even Yitzhak Rabin—such a move […]
