Israel has made no secret of it: it has embarked on a genocidal plan to “create conditions where life in Gaza becomes unsustainable.” And Joe Biden is its accomplice. Also: Those refusing to denounce this genocide – history will not judge them kindly.
Like today’s Gaza, Guernica was reduced to massive rubble shrouding innocent civilians whose flesh, blood, bones, and sinews cloaked the bleak landscape of rubble, rebar, and crater-size pocked apocalyptic destruction where once high-rise structures, streets, and alleyways existed.
The bombardment of Palestinians in Gaza continues. Amongst the dead are many of Palestine’s painters, poets, writers, and sculptors. One of the striking features of Palestinian life over the past 76 years since the Nakba of 1948 has been the ongoing richness of Palestinian cultural production.
In recent years, the surging violence in Ecuador has made international headlines. Ecuador wasn’t always this cliche of a narco-state. It was once hailed as an ‘island of peace’, a security success story. What explains its spiral into chaos?
The general strike against the austerity measures and the Omnibus Law was strongly felt throughout Argentina yesterday. Although the mobilization had its epicenter in the capital, in the main cities of the interior, there were massive protests as well. A million and a half people filled the streets of the country.
The ruling by the International Court of Justice was a legal victory for South Africa and the Palestinians, but it will not halt the slaughter.
Since his death on December 30, tributes have been pouring in for John Pilger, an Australian journalist who gave voice to the voiceless and had a talent for putting human tragedies into a political context.
The article outlines four tobacco industry tactics that are being modeled across industries, such as the food and beverage sector, disproportionately affecting communities of color and exacerbating diet-related disease crises.
In past wars, Israel was able to establish buffer or security zones inside enemy territory. But Tel Aviv’s adversaries have flipped the map today, forcing the occupation state to evacuate its own borders — perhaps permanently.
The US is so deeply mired in an unwinnable battle from the Levant to the Persian Gulf that only its adversaries in China, Russia, and Iran can bail it out.
