Despite the Israel lobby, Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda won an Emmy for her documentary, “It’s Bisan from Gaza and I’m Still Alive.”
The documentary highlights her experiences as a survivor and journalist in Gaza, earning international recognition.
The Cautionary Tale of Angela Davis Margaret Kimberley, BAR Executive Editor and Senior Columnist There are very few true revolutionaries. Allowing ourselves to pretend that Angela Davis is among them is a grave mistake.
It is notable that, with the exception of Sarah Wilkinson, there is at least one connection between all the recent arrestees among journalists: They had all been guests on Palestine Declassified. (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Batoul Chamas.
The British state clearly wants to find a way to scare British citizens away from supporting the legitimate right of the Palestinian people to resist occupation by all available means, including by armed struggle. This is their right under international law.
| The escalation of the far right has exposed the urgent need to build solidarity with migrant and refugee communities. When we are united in broad coalitions and movements we have the power to address structural issues.
As we do this work, we also need to be there for each other – organising practical everyday support whilst keeping each other safe.That’s why, earlier this summer, we ran our fourth Migrants Organise Resilience Festival – our festival of solidarity and hope. (more…) |

There is no conceivable way that Israel’s recent attacks on Lebanon over the past week can be construed as self-defense unless you are being dishonest and are ideologically committed to defending Israel no matter what it does.
Why the rush and why not before? As any close observer already understood, or at least one that is worth his or her salt, the outcome of the Ukrainian-Russian conflict is not going to be in favor of Ukraine. All you have to do is tally the numbers in terms of men and equipment and then take a glimpse at Russian history for good measure. There is no step back now, as Stalin decreed in fighting fascist Germany.
Since its founding to the modern day, Israel has been shaped by a ‘gang state’ mentality, marked by unhinged violence and oppression that only deepens its cycle of instability – a history it seems unwilling to escape.
(Photo Credit: The Cradle)On 31 May 1948, a man born in Poland by the name of David Ben Gurion transformed the Zionist terrorist groups – Haganah, Stern, Irgun, and Palmach – into what would be called the “Israeli Defense Forces” (IDF). This man would go on to become Israel’s first prime minister, and his actions laid the foundation for what many describe as a settler-colonial state in Palestine.
Two key posts – in foreign and defense policy – reveal the militarist and anti-Russia direction of the European Union.
Ursula Von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission – which works as the executive branch of the European Union – announced her new team of commissioners for the next five years.
This month, we published a dispatch from Palestinian journalist Mujahed al-Saadi documenting the IDF’s siege of hospitals in Jenin. On Thursday, al-Saadi was violently dragged from his home and remains in Israeli captivity.
At around 2:30 a.m. on September 19, several Israeli military vehicles surrounded the home of Mujahed al-Saadi, a well-known Palestinian journalist in the West Bank.
On September 13th, an extraordinary document was released via litigation against the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is an August 2021 slide deck presentation by Britain’s shadowy, spook-infested Counter Disinformation Unit to the White House National Security Council’s Interagency Policy Committee, which regularly gathers Washington’s spying services together to coordinate on national security matters. The contents amply expose how London’s long-running use and abuse of security and intelligence agencies to warp online perceptions is, by design, spreading the world over.
Washington as a failing player in great-power-competition is trying to rig the context by acting as the umpire. It is caught in its old paradigm of competing by posturing, while the world has moved on to relations based on practical proposals and tangible results.
The Liberals are openly suppressing alternative views and escalating a war with a nuclear armed state. In recent days they’ve helped ban an anti-war film, labelled a media outlet foreign interference and sought to bomb deep inside Russia.

This book is about corporate power. The authors report back on their fearless investigations into the realities of the unstoppable rise of global corporations, which occupy the power vacuum left by the collapse of European empires and sabotage the growth of democracy. Vividly revealing the workings of these corporations, they do so in a way that demonstrates the corporations’ vulnerability when their activities are exposed.

President John F. Kennedy is heralded in some circles as a pacifist anti-imperialist whose assassination was triggered by neo-conservative hawks intent on escalating the war in Vietnam and supporting Israel to the hilt in its wars with neighboring Arab states and the Palestinians.
(more…)Andrei Martyanov has carved for himself a unique, haloed place when it comes to deep critical thinking of all matters of war and peace.
In his previous books, in his blog Reminiscence of the Future and in countless podcasts, he has become the go-to source when it comes to the inner workings of the Special Military Operation (SMO) in Ukraine as well as The Big Picture of the proxy war between the U.S. and its collective West minions against Russia.
President Volodymyr Zelensky presents (L) Hero of Ukraine award to military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov, Kiev, FEB. 9, 2024 Strana, one of the top online newspapers in Ukraine, which is banned in Russia since 2022, reported on Friday that Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky is planning to dismiss Defense Minister Rustem Umerov and the powerful military intelligence chief Gen. Kirill Budanov from their posts as part of his continuing purge of the military establishment in Kiev.
Russia and the West are rapidly running out of room to manoeuvre to avoid a head-on military clash.
For a few days now, we have been hearing about the ‘permission’ given by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken to use ATACAMS missiles on Russian territory, almost as if the issue was permission to strike Russian territory, which is actually a non-issue, since Russian territory has been struck regularly for more than a year, mainly with drones. The patience of the Russians is well known and few people in the West realise that it may be coming to an end.
The British government has recently suspended the export of 30 [of the 350] arms export licenses to Israel, citing the violation of international humanitarian law by the latter.
