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 […]
At the end of July, Friedrich Merz held a major press conference. For several hours, the Chancellor answered journalists’ questions. He paid no attention at all to possible peace agreements between Russia and Ukraine. Instead, the focus was on introducing new sanctions and justifying them. Some journalists tried to challenge […]
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 […]
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.

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 […]
