The fallacy of the thought that there are military solutions to what are essentially political issues has a name. It is called militarism. Not just in Israel, but throughout the world, the curse of militarism is stalking us, and could well end civilization, even eradicate complex life on Planet Earth.
‘The Red Sea Is Now the Second Front in the Gaza War’: A conflict has been raging in the Red Sea which could transform Israel’s war on Gaza into a regional conflict. Also: ‘US’ War on Terror Against Houthis Is Smoke and Mirrors’.
‘‘Let It Be a Tale’: Israel Kills the Storytellers of Gaza But Will Not Kill the Story’; To Refaat Alareer: In response to Refaat al Areer’s poem, ‘If I Must Die’.
Settler colonial states have a terminal shelf life. Israel is no exception.
As the numbers of the dead and displaced increase, a sense of numbness grows. It began with a hundred dead, then a hundred more, and is rapidly escalating into the tens of thousands. It is difficult to wrap one’s head around these numbers unless there are stories attached to each of the dead and displaced.
This slogan, raised at pro-Palestine demonstrations around the world, has attracted a great deal of ignorant criticism.
Historian Rashid Khalidi reframes the ‘Israel-Palestine Conflict’ in light of the 1917 Balfour Declaration and beyond, breaking down the myth of an ancient and eternal Jewish-Arab antagonism.
Over the last decade, Ros has become deeply involved with Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), the US-based, progressive Jewish anti-Zionist activist organization. She has thought deeply about the connections between feminism, human rights, peace, and justice in the context of Israel and Palestine.
Western leaders and officials are speaking out now because they understand that the Palestinian cause has become a global one, and that the prolonging of Israeli occupation will not bode well, neither for Tel Aviv nor for the collective West. It is time for Palestinians to utilize this significant moment.
Phase One of Israel’s genocidal campaign on Gaza has ended. Phase Two has begun. It will result in even higher levels of death and destruction.
