We live in a system of competing nation-states immersed in a global economy. This is an unworkable combination. A global economy requires cooperation based on common interest, while competition among nations assumes conflicting interests.

Who could have imagined 19 months ago that it would take more than a year and a half of Israel slaughtering and starving Gaza’s children for the first cracks to appear in what has been a rock-solid wall of support for Israel from western establishments.

Just as German Social Democrats joined the Nazis in singing Deutschland Uber Alles, ANDREW MURRAY observes how Starmer tries to out-Farage Farage with anti-migrant policies — but evidence shows Reform voters come from Tories, not Labour, making this ploy morally bankrupt and politically pointless

For nearly 19 months, Israel, with financial, technological and political support from the US and Europe, has attacked every single hospital in Gaza.The Israeli military has destroyed every aspect of Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure; executed paramedics and threw them into mass graves; and hunted, threatened, kidnapped, tortured and killed medical workers, skilled physicians and hospital directors.

Massacres of over 50 Palestinians at a time, nearly half of them children, are being conducted. Hospitals are being openly bombed. Journalists assassinated.

Dear friends,
Greetings from the desk of Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research.
Over the past weeks, international focus has no doubt been on the escalation between India and Pakistan, which we will write more about once the dust settles. Though none of the armies crossed the border or the Line of Control, concern is nonetheless understandable: both countries wield nuclear weapons in their arsenal. Now, there has effectively been a return to the ceasefire of 1948, which has lingered in the decades since without a proper and full peace treaty. International attention has also rightly remained on the genocide in Palestine, with Israelis tightening the total siege on Gaza, perhaps as vengeance for Palestinians’ return to northern Gaza on 27 January 2025 in total defiance of the genocidal war.

On May 1st, The Times reported that Britain’s Intelligence and Security Committee, a parliamentary body intended to supervise and appraise the work of London’s assorted spying agencies, was facing a funding “crisis” so severe it may be forced to cease functioning outright. Moreover, in a remarkable statement, current ISC chair Lord Beamish fulminated that the Committee’s work was “being undermined by continued interference by the Cabinet Office,” the British government’s most powerful component, within which the ISC is based, but also meant to scrutinise:

How will the war end? The position of Ukraine and NATO continues to go from bad to worse, yet there is still a reluctance to engage in genuine discussions. There is subsequently a growing possibility that there will eventually be a collapse of the government in Ukraine, which would allow Moscow to dictate the political settlement. Yet, even as the situation goes from bad to worse, the Europeans and Ukraine are reluctant to engage with Russia in genuine negotiations. Part of the problem is evidently the extent of demands from the Russian side, although the Russian demands will only grow as the war drags on.

The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is often portrayed as a defender of democracy and freedom. However, its true purpose lies in safeguarding the interests of global finance capital and maintaining imperialist domination. While NATO’s founding was justified as a countermeasure to communist influence, this explanation obscures the organization’s deeper role as a military arm of global imperialism.

The same corporate media talking heads who told us to ignore Biden’s failing health are now cashing in with books revealing political cover ups while also covering up their own role in facilitating corruption and inevitably a defeat.

There was yet more shameful reporting by BBC News at Ten last night, with international editor Jeremy Bowen the chief culprit this time.
Wednesday 14 May 2025 —MintPress News
A four-day judicial review was set to take place, as Palestinian human rights group Al-Haq challenges the legality of the UK selling parts for Israeli F-35 fighter jets, used to commit genocide in Gaza. The British Labour government claims that blocking the sale will damage international peace and security by not allowing a regime led by a wanted war criminal to acquire components for fighter jets that he is using to murder civilians. The outlandish argument has been met with outrage from a British public that overwhelmingly opposes London’s role in the Gaza genocide.
