Netanyahu to Congo, Jordan, Egypt, Chad, Rwanda: ‘Who Will Rid Me of These Pesky Palestinians?’
January 14, 2024
After 97 days of his genocidal ethnic cleansing of 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu has only wiped out 1%. It’s actually a tad higher as thousands of innocents lay dead under the rubble of over a hundred thousand buildings destroyed by Israeli and US bombs. At that rate it will take him 9,700 […]

Bombing Another Country for Peace
January 12, 2024
Reprinted from Bracing Views with the author’s permission. Last night, the U.S. bombed another country, Yemen, in the name of the “rules-based order.” Yemen has been striking shipping as a form of protest against the ongoing Israeli genocide-in-slow-motion in Gaza.

With Attack on Yemen, the US Is Shameless: ‘We Make the Rules, We Break the Rules’
January 12, 2024
Have you heard the one about the U.S. government wanting a “rules-based international order”?

Overall, the default assumption is that top officials in Washington are reluctant to go to war, and do so only as a last resort. The framing […]
