    Originally published: MintPress News on March 20, 2025 by Robert Inlakesh (more by MintPress News)  | (Posted Mar 26, 2025)

    The immense cost to U.S. taxpayers of Trump’s assault on Yemen, which promises no results and primarily serves Israel’s interests, could easily reach the tens of billions at the current pace, especially considering the intensity of operations is much greater than under his predecessor.

  • Palestinian Ceasefire Agreement

    ‘Complete surrender’: How Gaza defeated Israel and what it means—analysis

    Originally published: Palestine Chronicle on January 15, 2025 by Ramzy Baroud (more by Palestine Chronicle)  | (Posted Jan 15, 2025)

    Israel assumed that by destroying Gaza, it would eradicate the resistance. However, that calculation was deeply flawed. The resistance in Gaza is directly tied to the Palestinian people. It’s not about eliminating a specific number of fighters but about the enduring bond between the people and the resistance itself.

    Long-range missiles won’t win Ukraine war, but risk significant escalation

    Originally published: Counterfire on September 17, 2024 by Vladimir Unkovski-Korica (more by Counterfire)  | (Posted Sep 19, 2024)

    On The Rewriting of History

    Originally published: Monthly Review on November 1982 by H. Bruce Franklin (more by Monthly Review)  | (Posted Jul 01, 2024)

    [Britannica’s revisionist] distortions of the history of the Vietnamese struggle are just as radical and just as misleading [as those about the Soviet Union]. Here we may draw some valuable lessons about the hidden content of form: how apparently neutral principles of organization may shape meaning.

  • Commune or Nothing! Communes Against Capitalism

    Samir Amin on ‘Eurocentrism’

    Eds.

    In this short commentary, John Bellamy Foster describes the term after which Samir Amin’s Eurocentrism is famously named.

  • Israel’s unfolding crime of genocide of the Palestinian people & U.S. complicity in genocide (Emergency Legal Briefing Paper)

    Originally published: Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) on October 18, 2023 (more by Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR))  | (Posted Oct 23, 2023)

    As President Biden visited Israel, and the Palestinian death toll in Gaza passed 3,300, the U.S.-based Center for Constitutional Rights released a legal and factual analysis of Israel’s unfolding genocide against the Palestinian people and U.S. complicity. The emergency briefing paper came on the heels of the U.S. veto of a United Nations Security Council resolution condemning both Hamas’s attack on Israel and all violence against civilians and calling for humanitarian access to Gaza.

  • War is Hell Cartoon

    European parliament to join the militarisation path

    Originally published: The Bullet on May 26, 2023 by Herman Michiel (more by The Bullet) (Posted May 27, 2023)

    Whoever wants to wage war must have ammunition, bullets, shells, and missiles. Ukraine would use some 7,000 every day, while for Russia it would be about 50,000. So European ‘solidarity’ means ammunition for Ukraine.

    Originally published: FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting) on May 25, 2023 by Ari Paul (more by FAIR (Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting))  | (Posted May 27, 2023)

    It’s worth remembering that fear of an Asian menace in the United States led to the nation’s first major immigration restrictions and mass imprisonment of Japanese-Americans during World War II. It continues to lead to racist murder and other anti-Asian crimes.

    Chile: in memory of Carlos and Pinochet’s caravan of death

    Originally published: Resumen: Latinoamericano and the Third World on February 22, 2023 by Ariel Dorfman (more by Resumen: Latinoamericano and the Third World) (Posted Feb 27, 2023)

    Every dawn, during my daily walk to the foothills of the Andes, I pass by the Tobalaba Aerodrome, a facility that caters to a wide variety of private aircraft. In a year marking the 50th anniversary of the coup against the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende, that airport arouses less affable feelings.

    Originally published: CrimethInc. on February 22, 2023 (more by CrimethInc.)  | (Posted Feb 27, 2023)

    The campaign to defend the forest in Atlanta, Georgia has become one of the most vibrant movements of the post-Trump era, interweaving environmentalism, abolitionism, and the fight against gentrification. Yet as police shift to employing lethal violence and indiscriminate terrorism charges, it has reached a critical juncture.
