Israel’s Trojan Horse
March
21, 2024
Piers
allow things to come in. They allow things to go out. And Israel, which has no
intention of halting its murderous siege of Gaza, including its policy of
enforced starvation, appears to have found a solution to its problem of where
to expel the 2.3 million Palestinians.
Capitalism’s permanent horror
March 21, 2024
The military ordered hundreds of
thousands of people into a designated “safe” zone. On reaching it, they were
shelled by the army and the air force. The generals said there was another safe
zone; if the people kept moving, respite would be found. It wasn’t. Again they
were attacked. The scene repeated, but now, corralled onto a tiny stretch of
beach and trapped against the ocean, there was no way out.

آیا کشتن یک انسان کار درستی است؟!ا
در نگاه نخست این پرسش نابخردانه است. ولی چنین نیست، و بسیاری از کسانی که بدین پرسش پاسخ منفی میدهند آگاه نیستند که گرفتن جان یک انسان، با هر انگیزه‌ای و با هر گرایشی، هرچند اگر برای انجام دادن دستوری از بالا دست باشد، چیزی جز آدمکشی نیست. پیچیدگی در اینجاست که بخش نخست واژهٔ آدمکشی، یعنی آدم، همواره به همچون یک انسان شناخته نمی‌شود. بدین سان که سخن ما در مورد کسی است که یک فرد زنده است و خواه ناخواه برای زندگی خود خواستار برتری است، ولی این انسان با نام‌های دیگری شناسانده میشود. این نام‌ها او را از جایگاه یک پدیده ارزشمند پایین‌تر می‌آورد و گرفتن جان او را آسان‌تر می‌سازد. برای نمونه این انسان را دشمن، قاتل، دزد، خیانت‌کار، بزه‌کار، آدم کش، جان ستان، کشنده، و با نمونه‌هائی بدین سان می‌شناسانند، و همبودهای گوناگون کشتن انسان‌های زنده با این فرنام‌ها را می‌پذیرند.ا

The
evidence that Israel planned and carried out starvation as a deliberate policy
choice and siege tactic is overwhelming. Rarely in the history of war crimes
has a war crime been so telegraphed, openly discussed, and executed to the

Biden’s Red Line: Why U.S. Could Be Days Away From Suspending Arms Sales to Israel
March

WASHINGTON
– There is a very real chance that the United States will halt the sale of
offensive weaponry to Israel by month’s end should it fail to dramatically
improve the amount of aid entering Gaza, or if it launches a military operation
in Rafah without a credible plan for the million-plus Palestinians sheltering
there.

In

In
recent months, international media attention has rightfully been devoted to the
unprecedented scope of death and destruction wrought by the Israeli military in
the Gaza Strip. Daily news bulletins have grown increasingly concerned with the
deprivation of food, water, medicine, and other basic supplies resulting from
the intensified siege that Israel imposed shortly after the Hamas-led attacks
of October 7.

The Historical Origin of “The Singing Union”
March 8, 2024
A
Very Musical Reputation
The
early history of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) has become the stuff
of legend for the U.S. socialist left. In its first decade, the IWW led massive
strikes of industrial workers that cut across ethnic boundaries in the east and
brutal free speech fights for the rights of its organizers to publicly promote
industrial unionism in the west. Many of its organizers were assassinated by
right-wing vigilantes or executed by the state, and some have become martyr
figures for U.S. socialism and trade unionism. Key to the legendary status of
the early IWW is the notion that the organization was a “singing union.”1

Book Review: The New Tsar
By: Steven Lee Myers
This is a biography of Vladimir
Putin, Russia’s most powerful government official. The title of the book is
supposed to imply Putin as a dictator, as all the Tsars were. This trend
continues throughout the book, although the character of this person, and his
desire to promote Russia to its former status, Soviet Union, is clearly
explained throughout the book.
