Genocide by other means: Palestinian babies murdered by exposure, not bombs
The bombs may have eased, but Palestinian children are still dying. This time, not by Israeli airstrikes, but from cold, and collapsing damaged structures. Israel have violated the ceasefire agreement by obstructing entry of vital services for children, and essential shelters to protect civilians whose homes were destroyed by two…

Big tech and the architecture of the Israeli genocide against Palestinians: From execution to media whitewashing
History is filled with examples of corporations fueling war machines and global colonisation. IBM supplied technology used in Nazi death camps; shipping and trading companies played central roles in the Transatlantic trafficking of Africans; and multinational firms helped bankroll South Africa’s apartheid regime. The companies that once profited from South…

Ceasefire is “holding”: So long as only non-Israeli-Jews are murdered
Amnesty International warned on 27 November, that “The ceasefire risks creating a dangerous illusion that life in Gaza is returning to normal…. the world must not be fooled. Israel’s genocide is not over.” Israel has violated the Gaza ceasefire almost 600 times, killed and injured over 1350, including murdering 136…

Dissecting the UN’s “Comprehensive Plan” for Gaza and the inevitable dead-end
US policy documents on the Middle East do not reach the daylight before Israel is given the chance to filter them, and gut them. The latest UN Security Council (UNSC) 2803, Comprehensive Plan, is no exception. The Resolution perpetuates the same failed logic that has governed international diplomacy for decades.…

State-sanctioned Jewish-mob terror in the West Bank
In the occupied West Bank, Palestinian villages have become open fields for illegal Jewish settlers operating under the protection of the Israeli army. In recent weeks, organized Jewish mobs, some armed with rifles and sticks, others carrying torches, have unleashed violence across occupied Palestinian towns and villages. It is not…

How Washington enables Israel’s ceasefire violations
Since the Gaza ceasefire took effect on 10 October 2025, Israel has once again demonstrated that its impunity is limitless. In less than twenty days since following the signing of the ceasefire, Israel has murdered 226 Palestinians, injured 594, and continues to demolish homes at will. In the same period,…

How Israel-First Jewish Americans plan to re-monopolise the narratives on Palestine
The nature of the United States’ relationship with Israel defies logic and reason. It is a parasitic one-sided benefit, entangled in the tentacles of organised influence, manipulation, financial power, and media control. Israel contributes next to nothing of tangible benefit to America’s security, strategic value, or economy, yet Washington continues…

The crumbling illusion: Why American public opinion on Israel is shifting
For the first time in decades, the public in the United States and across the West has begun to see Israel’s wars and occupation for what they truly are: acts of systemic injustice driven by malevolence and impunity. Social media has removed the familiar whitewash of mainstream filters, revealing truths…

Gaza will not forget, Palestine will remember
Gaza will not forget The suffocating smoke still hangs over her ruins, thick with the acrid stench of explosives powder and dust carrying the scent of betrayal and the mark of courage. Her streets, once filled with children’s laughter, became Israeli fields of slaughter. Now they echo with the names…

Trump’s plan: Instant rewards for Israel, vague promises for Palestinians
Two years into Israel’s destruction, war crimes, and genocide in Gaza, Donald Trump rolled out a 20-point proposal, hyped as a path to peace. Arab and Muslim leaders rushed to give their unqualified blessing. Standing right next to Trump, however, Benjamin Netanyahu delivered only a “conditional” endorsement, so riddled with…

Recognition of Palestine: A birth certificate or a PR ploy
At this year’s United Nations General Assembly, France, Britain, Canada, Australia, among others, joined more than 150 countries in recognising the State of Palestine. On paper, this is historic as more countries recognise Palestine than Israel. Unless this recognition is backed by action, though, it risks leaving Palestinians to confront…

“Gaza is burning”: How Zionist hate fuels genocide?
Israel’s war minister, Israel Katz, declared with characteristic Zionist hubris: “Gaza is burning.” His words were not a battlefield report or a measured account of military progress. They were a boast—almost celebratory—as though the incineration of a city, a gas chamber for a million human beings, were what defined Israel’s…

The Doha assassination plot, emergency summit, and Trump’s double-cross
Last week’s failed assassination attempt of the Palestinian negotiating team in Doha, Qatar, raises critical questions that extend far beyond the attack itself. The crux of the problem lies in three interconnected issues: the increasing use of artificial intelligence (AI) in targeting individuals, the failure or deliberate negligence of the…

Crying antisemite to shield Israeli genocide and mass murder
History teaches us that atrocities are too often recognised only after the fact. From the dispossession of Indigenous peoples, slavery, the Holocaust, Srebrenica and Rwanda, became part of our collective conscience only after the full scale of the crimes could no longer be denied. Gaza genocide is following that same…

What drives Americans to fight on the frontlines of Gaza’s war crimes
Serving in the military is the ultimate test of loyalty. When young Americans raise their right hand, they pledge to defend their nation, their Constitution, their people. Yet for many young Americans, that oath is NOT made to the United States military. Instead, they pack their bags, fly across the…

UN declares famine in Gaza: No middle ground on genocide, you’re either with it or against it
Israel war of genocide is not about 7 October; it is not about freeing Israeli captives. It is, first and foremost, about preserving a racist Jewish governing coalition and seizing a historic opportunity while a submissive administration in Washington looks the other way. The aim is to advance a biblical…

Dog in Gaza and the conditioning of the Western mind
Over a week ago, a friend sent me a link about Hamed Ashour and his German Shepherd dog in Gaza, suggesting I might be interested in writing about it. At first, I dismissed the idea as crazy, though not quite enough to delete the message. Coincidentally, I was still working…

The killing of journalists in Gaza: Israel’s war on the soul of humanity
After sealing Gaza off from international reporters and blocking the world’s eyes from its genocide, Israel has moved to the next phase of its blackout strategy: hunting down Palestinian journalists inside Gaza. The goal is obvious: silence the last independent witnesses so that the genocide and starvation of an entire…

Why is Gaza still starving? Israeli lies and the tail that wags the dogs
Whenever Israel yields to international pressure and allows aid trucks into Gaza, it devises other methods to ensure that food is never delivered. On the same day, 26 July, Israel announced airdrops and “humanitarian corridors” for UN convoys, its forces murdered 53 humans seeking aid in those corridors. Aid distribution…

Forgive them not, Gaza …
Last April, I wrote Forgive Me, Gaza—a personal reflection of anguish and helplessness. Today, there is no room for introspection. It is no longer about personal guilt. We are witnessing an Israeli campaign of mass starvation, mass destruction, and mass slaughter made possible only by global indifference. There is no…

From Auschwitz to Gaza’s ‘Humanitarian City’
The genocide in Gaza and Israel’s unrestrained colonial and imperial arrogance have reached a point beyond redemption. Benjamin Netanyahu’s endless wars now bleed into Syria, attacking the heart of Damascus with absolute impunity. Meanwhile, the United States, supposedly the world’s leading superpower, remains tragically mired in subservience to successive Israeli…

Cartography of Israeli Apartheid: Gaza and the West Bank, two fronts of dispossession
While global attention remains fixed—yet helpless—by the horrors of the genocide in Gaza, a quieter but equally bedeviled Israeli plan is being implemented in the occupied West Bank. Under the fog of war, and aided by a willful placid Western media—Israel has intensified a second front of dispossession: bulldozing homes,…

Zohran Mamdani: ‘Globalize the Intifada’ or the Reinvention of Goebbels’ Doctrine?
Since winning the Democratic primary for New York City mayor, Zohran Kwame Mamdani has spent more time addressing outrage over two words he never actually said than outlining his vision for the city. Ironically, his rivals’ overreach—each scrambling to outdo one another in pledging allegiance to Israel —may have only…

Food aid or firing squads: How the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation became Gaza Assassination Trap
In Gaza today, hunger has a price—and for far too many civilians, that price has been death. The Israeli Newspaper, Haaretz described the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution centers as “Killing Field” where Israeli soldiers ordered to shoot at civilians queuing for the meager aid. Mothers, fathers, children, and elders—unarmed…
