Scientists Who First Identified Threat of Microplastics Say World Must Now Act
September 20,
2024
Some of the key
scientists who first informed the world of the potential damage being done to
natural systems by microplastics are now calling for world leaders to take
decisive action to curb the introduction of these polluting materials into the
environment—and they hope the looming United Nations treaty process on plastics
can be a key vehicle for progress.

rights groups on Wednesday announced a new interactive initiative exposing what

roles.”

Water, War, and Women in Gaza
September 18,
2024
In late 2020, a
report titled Saving Gaza Begins With Its Waterstated:
The water crisis
in Gaza is a problem of daunting proportions, with grave implications for the
more than 2 million inhabitants of the Palestinian enclave... The Coastal
Aquifer from which Gaza pumps water is diminishing; but more dangerously, it is
experiencing significant deterioration from seawater and highly saline
groundwater intrusion, as well as sewage pollution.

25% of 95K Injuries inflicted by Israel in Gaza are “Life-Changing;” Require Medical Care that Israelis Destroyed
September 17,
2024
Ann Arbor
(Informed Comment) – On Monday, Israeli bombardments killed 38 people in Gaza.
Based on past experience, we can expect a majority of those killed to have been
women and children — at least 21 and maybe more. Photographs and video coming
out of Gaza show dead children being carried in burial shrouds. For intance, Al
Jazeera reports that an Israeli bombardment of the Sabra neighborhood of Gaza
City killed 3 people, and that a child and a woman are among the dead. Several
others were injured.
Israel is joining the first global AI convention, here’s why that’s dangerous
September 16,
2024
It is deeply
troubling that Israel has been allowed to join the first global treaty on
artificial intelligence (AI)—an agreement meant to regulate AI’s responsible
use while upholding human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. For 11
consecutive months, Israel has weaponized AI in its genocide in Gaza, deploying
AI-driven surveillance and automated targeting systems that have inflicted
devastating civilian harm. Yet, Israel is now celebrating its participation in
this treaty alongside the U.S., U.K., and EU, after spending two years at the
negotiating table and helping draft the first international AI treaty for
ethical AI governance. This contradiction exposes glaring hypocrisy and raises
serious questions about the international community’s true commitment to
accountability.

Iranian Revolution and Islamic Regime
Much has been said and written about the Iranian revolution, which has been going on for four and a half decades. The Islamic Republic under the leadership of Ayatollah Khomeini came out of this revolution, and it has ruled and mismanaged all the country's institutions until today. People of Iran, the majority of whom voted for the Islamic Republic, are now so annoyed by this regime that they wish for its destruction every second. But there is no other alternative to replace this disgraced regime.
انقلاب ایران و رژیم اسلامی
در مورد انقلاب ایران که چهار و نیم دهه از آن می‌گذرد بسیار گفته و نوشته شده است. جمهوری اسلامی به رهبری آیت‌الله خمینی از این انقلاب بیرون آمد، و تا به امروز بر کلیهٔ نهاد‌های کشوری حکومت می‌کند. مردم ایران که با اکثریت به جمهوری اسلامی رای دادند، هم‌اکنون آنچنان از این رژیم آزرده‌ا‌ند که هر لحظه آرزوی نابودی آنرا می‌کنند. ولی متاسفانه هیچ نیروی دیگری وجود ندارد که جانشین این رژیم ننگین شود.ا

Israel’s Bloody Negotiations Strategy in Gaza
September 13,
2024
Fifty-two years
ago, almost to the day, on September 8, 1972, I survived the first of many
Israeli air and sea raids on my refugee camp in northern Lebanon. I was less
than two hundred yards from the area across the river where a group of us young
kids met every day, between 4 and 5 p.m., to play in the large field, swim in
the river or in the Mediterranean Sea. 
Russian missiles will soon strike US and UK targets, if Starmer gets his way
September 13,

The first
confirmed use of ATACMS, Storm Shadow or Scalp inside of Russia would provoke a
Russian military strike against a western military target. We should step back
from this new missile crisis and push for a negotiated ceasefire.

bulldozer of the Israeli army.

‘Everything around me was getting torn apart’: Israel commits another massacre in Gaza ‘safe zone’
September 11,
2024
Flashlights in
the hands of rescue workers break the dense darkness over the sand in
al-Mawasi, the tent encampment sheltering displaced Palestinians in Khan
Younis. A group of men with shovels struggle to remove sand in the middle of a
giant crater created by an Israeli airstrike on the Israeli-designated “safe
zone.” In video testimony collected for Mondoweiss, rescue workers pull out
half-buried blankets from the sand and explain that they are trying to dig
people out of the massive crater that was caused by an Israeli airstrike.

The Morass of U.S. Middle East Policy was visible in the Harris-Trump Debate

2024
ABC provided a
transcript of the debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. I have some
thoughts on the Middle East dimension:
Debate: On Gaza & Ukraine, Harris and Trump put 'America last'
September 11,
2024
Donald Trump and
Kamala Harris not only proved last night that they have no fleshed out foreign
policy visions of their own, but that they feel most comfortable pantomiming
like they do, using bafflingly cartoonish language about each other, playing so
fast and loose with history, facts, and figures so as to make the entire debate
over what to do in Ukraine and Gaza absolutely incoherent.

daybreak and see what else was left.

From polio to hepatitis: Gaza’s health crisis is a ticking time bomb
September 9,
2024
Polio. Chickenpox.
Hepatitis. The threat of epidemics is looming large in Gaza, thanks to Israel’s
deliberate destruction of the Strip’s healthcare and sanitation infrastructure.
Left without clean water, sewage, waste disposal, and adequate shelter, the
health of Palestinians in Gaza is rapidly declining. Children and the elderly
are among the most vulnerable, and time is running out. The Real News reports
from the ground in Gaza, speaking directly with sanitation experts and local
mothers about the conditions Israel has created through its total war on the
Palestinian people.
