In not quite one year since the ceasefire deal in Lebanon, Israel has broken the ceasefire 4,600 times.

How Ukrainian Courts Are Weaponizing Lawfare Against Anti-War Voices

20. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
The NATO-backed war in Ukraine is portrayed in the West as an ideological war between the democratic Ukraine and the authoritarian Russia.

With elections canceled and weapons […]

With the silence of the guns, hope grows that Israel’s genocide in Gaza may have come to an end.

From Sabra and Shatila to Gaza: The Vicious Cycle of US-Israeli ‘Peace’ Ploys

15. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
The history of Zionism is fundamentally one of deception. This assertion is critically relevant today, as it contextualizes the so-called ‘Trump Gaza proposal,’ which appears to be little more than a veiled strategy to defeat the Palestinians and facilitate the ethnic cleansing of a significant portion of Gaza’s population. Since the start of the current […]

‘Free Marwan Barghouti’: The War Against Palestinian Democracy

13. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
If Palestinians could have a democratic election, the 66-year-old Barghouti, their charismatic leader in the West Bank prior to his imprisonment, would the absolute winner.

The Defeat of Israel and the Rebirth of Palestinian Agency

13. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
For decades, the prevailing notion was that the ‘solution’ to the Israeli occupation of Palestine lay in a strictly negotiated process. “Only dialogue can achieve peace” has been the relentlessly peddled mantra in political circles, academic platforms, media forums, and the like. A colossal industry burgeoned around that idea, expanding dramatically in the lead-up to, […]

Can Trump Revive the Strategic Arms Control System He Helped Wreck?

13. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
For the first time in several years, there is some positive movement between Russia and the United States on strategic arms control.  In late September 2025, Vladimir Putin proposed that Moscow and Washington agree to extend the New Start Treaty – which is set to expire automatically in February 2026 – for one year.  That […]

Urgent Next Steps for Palestine at the UN

9. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
As U.S. President Donald Trump surely intended, his “20-point Gaza plan” succeeded in upstaging calls by many other world leaders at the UN General Assembly for concrete, coordinated UN-led measures to force Israel to end its criminal genocide in Gaza and the illegal occupation of Palestine. Trump’s White House meeting with Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyah on […]

Empire by Numbers: 392 U.S. Military Interventions Across Every Region of the World

9. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
Monica Duffy Toft and Sidita Kushi’s 2023 book Dying by the Sword is both a work of scholarship and an unflinching indictment. It demolishes the enduring myth of the United States as a hesitant warrior, reluctantly drawn into conflicts by others. Instead, using their Military Intervention Project – the most comprehensive dataset of its kind […]

Bringing a Howitzer to a Knife Fight: US Armada Off Venezuela

8. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
Donald Trump boasted striking small boats off Venezuela’s Caribbean coast to “blow the cartel terrorists the hell out of the water.”  Claiming destruction of enough drugs to kill 25,000, he called the extrajudicial murders “an act of kindness.” Then he ominously hinted at a US land invasion of Venezuela now that the marine route for […]

War Criminals Don’t Face Trial – They Get Retirement Deals

8. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
Ten years from now, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and countless others who enabled or excused the destruction of Gaza will almost certainly be dead – perhaps passing away peacefully one night during a restful dream. What they leave behind, however, is a legacy shaped not only by their actions but by how those […]

Tony Blair and the Gaza Trap: Continued Colonial Control Disguised as ‘Transition’

6. Oktober 2025 - 2:00
Reprinted with permission from The Kucinich Report. Gaza is an occupied territory. Its borders, airspace, imports, exports, and even calories are controlled by Israel and its Western backers. Gaza does not need another flag flown above its ruins; it needs the right to rebuild on its own terms. The Mirage of “Transition” Western governments are preparing […]
