Let’s be done with the pretence of decency and soggy references to just resolution in the face of extreme circumstances. Be done with the hilarious stage acts of referring to legal doctrines that either do not exist or cannot exist in the bloodied context they are being forced to refer […]
Another bleak warning, another round of Cassandra calls about humanity’s immaculate sense of destructive self. This month, the UN Secretary-General António Guterres and the head of the International Committee of the Red Cross and Red Crescent (ICRC) Mirjana Spoljaric Egger issued a joint appeal stating that, “We are now dangerously […]
The latest incidents of Israeli settler violence in the villages of Qusra and Kour, located in the northern occupied West Bank, have again caught international attention, reaching the halls of the United Nations with a gravity that, sadly, is unlikely to have much effect. Towards the end of July, the […]
It remains a prickly reminder that Australia remains an embarrassed vassal of power, annexed to the security interests of another state basking in imperial and fast diminishing splendour.

The growing Israeli-Turkish rivalry might soon expand to Jordan. Turkiye, Syria, and Jordan signed a trilateral MoU in early April on transport cooperation that followed their meeting more than half a year prior last September where they first committed to reviving the Hejaz Railway. This late-Ottoman project connected Istanbul with Medina and Mecca but […]
The aggression of the United States and Israel against Iran has opened the veil of the metaphysical dimension of the conflict – the contours of religious beliefs, more precisely, the clash of metaphysical doctrines and ideas, have clearly emerged in it. And although each side points out that it is […]
For more than two years, one of the most bitterly contested aspects of Israel’s war on Gaza has been the question of numbers: how many people have actually died. Israel’s government, its military, and a wide network of allies and advocates repeatedly cast doubt on the figures published by Gaza’s […]
Part I Even beyond personnel disputes, Israel has taken concrete steps to prevent the NCAG from operating. Committee chair Ali Shaath was detained for hours at the Allenby Crossing while traveling to the committee’s first meeting. Other members were blocked entirely. Israel has refused to allow the NCAG to employ […]
