Israel’s Trojan Horse

March 21, 2024

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

March 13, 2024
Intimaa Salama, a 27-year-old dentist from Gaza, attended last week’s State of the Union address at the invitation of U.S. Rep. Cori Bush. Though she said she felt honored to join Bush in demanding an immediate and permanent ceasefire and full restoration of funding for humanitarian assistance through the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), she said she’s now clear she’ll never go to another State of the Union.

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

March 12, 2024
