The ongoing Israeli military assault on Gaza is, in my view, one of the worst crimes in human history. For the last year and a half, Israel has carried out a mass murder, ethnic cleansing, and now starvation campaign against a besieged, defenseless population of two million Palestinians.

“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. Federal agents have detained, kidnapped, and disappeared multiple graduate students for their participation in peaceful protest against Israeli genocide. Anti-Zionist speech is an act of domestic terror. The president explicitly rejects professional historical scholarship on the legacies of racism in the US and seeks to banish “improper ideology” from the nation’s museums. There is a real and immediate future in which US universities as we’ve known them and academic freedom as we’ve known it—however imperfect, and always with a Palestine exception—no longer exists. Columbia is already there.1

London is preparing to conduct an “audit” of its relations with China — a gesture disguised as analysis but, in reality, a ritual: a confession on bended knees before the new masters of the Atlantic order.

British opposition leader Kemi Badenoch, speaking to Sky News yesterday, defended Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza, framing it as being in alignment with the UK’s “national interest”.
She likened Israel’s ongoing war on Gaza to Ukraine’s fight against Russia, describing it as a “proxy war” fought on behalf of broader “Western interests.”
Addressing criticism of Israel’s genocidal conduct in Gaza, Badenoch dismissed accusations of genocide, stating, “Israel is fighting a war. It is not for me to police exactly how they are doing that… It is not a genocide, as people are saying.”

The media is full of reports about a possible imminent Israeli attack on Iran. With US-Iran nuclear negotiations not moving forward, Israel hopes to pull the US into a war against Iran. What would be the nuclear contamination and how will Iran retaliate?

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 animates their gaze. That’s what sticks. His demeanour doesn’t shift. It’s as though nothing will ever change, a barren future seemingly already written.

By Pepe Escobar at the Strategic Culture Foundation.
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.

[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. This is an extremely serious question and it’s not being addressed by Russia and China. We have to be straightforward about that, right? The only ones who are actually doing something, once again, are the Houthis in Yemen. Heroes of the whole planet.

Statement on the Resistance News Network
In the 24 hours leading up to the killing of two zionist diplomats late last night, over 90 Palestinians ascended to martyrdom in the #Gaza Strip.
Every day, the US-backed zionist occupation carries out war crimes and massacres against the Palestinian people. It has repeatedly expressed its intention to perpetrate a genocide against Palestinians, and continues to do so with little repercussion from the rest of the world.

Chinese military hardware stole the show, French ones lost their stock, India’s clout took hits, and Pakistanis crowed. Yet, ultimately, the brief, hot India–Pakistan war was a victory only for the Global North’s divide-and-rule project for the Global South.

In early May, the security cabinet of Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met and agreed that Israel would “capture” Gaza and remove its Palestinian population “to protect it.”
To achieve this policy of annexation of Gaza, the Israelis tightened their siege by preventing the entry of food, water, electricity and other humanitarian aid (they had already enforced a blockade of aid since March 2).
