    Book Review: “AIPAC on steroids”

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on August 4, 2026 by Josh Ruebner (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Aug 08, 2026)

    Eli Clifton and Ian Lustick’s book, “Israel’s Lobby: America in the Grip of a Foreign Power,” offers a powerful critique of how the Israel Lobby subverts democracy at home and ensures U.S. support for Israeli aggression, apartheid, and genocide abroad.

    No, Israel does not have ‘a right to exist.’ Quite the contrary, actually.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on July 14, 2026 by Craig Mokhiber (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Jul 16, 2026)

    Unlike the Zionist claim that “Israel has a right to exist,” my assertion is rooted in international law. Of course, given Israel’s propensity for violating such laws, it’s no surprise they’re still claiming a right that has no basis in reality.

    A Gaza father recounts how Israeli soldiers killed his three-year-old son in his arms and mocked him

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on June 18, 2026 by Tareq S. Hajjaj (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Jun 22, 2026)

    Israeli soldiers shot three-year-old Rayyan Abu al-Ajeen in his father’s arms and mocked his father’s pleas as he cried for his dying son. The father says they were in the part of Gaza designated as “safe” for civilians during the “ceasefire.”

    Here is why we sanctioned Hillel at the New School and why students everywhere should follow our lead

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on June 4, 2026 by Ryder Glickman (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Jun 06, 2026)

    In May, the New School’s Student Senate sanctioned its Hillel chapter for its ties to Israeli war crimes and violations of international law. With 850 chapters worldwide, students everywhere should join the campaign to “Drop Hillel.”

    Synagogues that sell stolen Palestinian land should, of course, be protested

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on May 14, 2026 by Maura Finkelstein (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted May 20, 2026)

    There is a moral panic over whether protests at synagogues against the sale of Israeli settlement homes are antisemitic. This accusation is meant only to distract from Israel’s ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing. Don’t fall for it.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on May 2, 2026 by Eric Cheyfitz (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted May 04, 2026)

    Both the United States and Israel were founded and exist on land taken during ongoing genocides. Settler colonialism drives these genocides, and both nations share an ideology that justifies the theft and rationalizes the killing.

    Prominent New York synagogue hosts presentation on why U.S. Jews should support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on April 2, 2026 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    Benjamin Anthony’s racist speech at New York’s influential Park Avenue Synagogue, where he argued that U.S. Jews need to support ethnic cleansing in Gaza, illustrates how the American Jewish community has embraced Israeli racism and brutality.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on March 10, 2026 (more by Mondoweiss)  |

    A fake scandal involving Rama Duwaji’s Instagram likes reveals how desperate pro-Israel pundits are grasping at straws as support for the country plummets in the U.S.

    Understanding the U.S. and Israel’s illegal war on Iran

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on March 1, 2026 by Craig Mokhiber (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Mar 03, 2026)

    The illegal U.S.-Israeli war on Iran continues a rampage that has devastated countries and international institutions to eliminate all obstacles to U.S. hegemony. The U.S.-Israel Axis has not succeeded yet, and it is up to the world to stop them.

    Francesca Albanese is a powerful voice for justice, which is why the Israel lobby is trying to silence her

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on February 24, 2026 by Michael Lynk (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Feb 25, 2026)

    Israel lobby groups have spread doctored quotes by UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights Francesca Albanese to defame her. Their desperate campaign is a testament to her work and the threat she poses by holding Israel accountable for genocide.

    Recent news stories have thrust the issue of Palestinians returning to their homes and lands back into the spotlight. The Right of Return remains the core Palestinian demand because it is fundamental to what it means to be Palestinian.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on January 7, 2026 by Craig Mokhiber (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Jan 10, 2026)

    The recent sound of explosions over Venezuela, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Somalia, Yemen, and Nigeria are not merely the spasms by a declining U.S. empire. They are something much more terrifying—the dawning of the age of impunity.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on December 19, 2025 by Philip Weiss (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Dec 23, 2025)

    The New York Times has published a major exposé purporting to explain how Jeffrey Epstein rose to the top of the financial and political world, but it ignores one key topic: Israel.

    Originally published: Mondoweiss on October 9, 2025 by Qassam Muaddi (more by Mondoweiss)  | (Posted Oct 11, 2025)

    The ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas includes halting military actions, an Israeli withdrawal, increased humanitarian aid, and a prisoner swap. But it doesn’t guarantee an end to the war or that Israel won’t resume the genocide.

  • Parallel Universes
    Andy Merrifield

    Anybody who’s ever leafed through Finnegans Wake will quickly recognize that we’re not dealing here with a standard novel, just as anybody leafing through Marx’s Capital will know we’re not dealing with standard economics.

Lost & Found

  • The Rise and Fall of the United Farm Workers
    Michael D. Yates Cesar Chavez (center) marches with United Farm Workers members in Redondo Beach, California, July 9, 1975.

    Chavez could not abide the idea, much less the reality, that the farm workers themselves could and should run the union.
