Palestine: the Moral Issue of Our Time

When Universities Are Agents of the State
“What is a university and who is it for?” This was the question to which this essay was supposed to respond. It’s a question I turn over and over again in my mind, walking myself in circles.

Note #9: History and memory
A memory of Gummidipundi refugee camp, north of Chennai, haunts me. In dim light, a young(ish) man, missing one of his limbs, sits on the concrete floor in a brick shack. The roof is thatched, or maybe it’s concrete sheets, perhaps asbestos. Hopelessness has eaten away at his eyes; not even a hint of anticipation… Continue reading

European kakistocracy locked in a Forever War against Russia
Never interrupt your enemy when he is committing serial suicide (in reverse American gore-style, when the serial killer always resurrects). In the case of the EU kakistocracy, serial self-destruction is always a given, and always skyrocketing. Continue reading

Palestine and the Conscience of China
[A] lot of people across the global majority are asking the extremely serious question: why the BRICS, and especially why Russia and China, are not doing more than what they’re doing on behalf of Palestine and to defend Palestine.
