Why I Am Hunger Striking for Gaza
June 8, 2024
I am on day 10 of a voluntary hunger strike while
Palestinians in Gaza are being starved to death. It is estimated that 3,500
children are at risk of death in the coming weeks due to starvation. Two

Supporting genocide to halt multipolarity
June 5, 2024
The St Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF) takes place
this week. It’s one of the go-to annual meetings across Eurasia. The overall
theme in 2024 is “multipolarity,” quite fitting considering this is the year of
the Russian presidency of BRICS. The BRICS summit next October in Kazan will be
crucial in drawing the contours of the road map towards multipolarity going
forward.

In politics, context is crucial.
To truly appreciate the recent decision by Ireland,
Spain and Norway to recognize the state of Palestine, the subject has to be

On Imprisoning Presidential Candidates: From Eugene Debs to Donald Trump
June 3, 2024
Now that a New York jury convicted Donald Trump of
34 counts of falsifying business records in order to conceal hush money paid to
a porn star and to evade campaign financial regulations, speculation has begun
about his sentencing. Even though his outrageous behavior towards and slander
of the district attorney, the judge, the witnesses, and the jury should warrant
a punitive sentence, up to and including prison, it is highly unlikely that he
will spend any time in jail.

After a bloody 3-week invasion, the Israeli army
finally withdrew from central parts of the Jabalia refugee camp, remaining in

You Can’t Turn Back the Clock on Genocide: “Easily 200,000 Deaths in Gaza.”
May 31, 2024
As Amal Nassar
lay in pain on a bed at the Al-Awda Hospital in the Nuseirat refugee camp in
northern Gaza, the echoes of explosions and artillery fire could be heard all
around her. It was mid-January and she had made her way to the embattled
hospital to give birth to a baby girl she would name Mira. While Amal should
have been celebrating her infant’s delivery, instead she was engulfed in fear,
surrounded by the relentless nightmare of death and suffering that she and her
family had experienced for months.
“I was muttering
to myself, ‘I hope I die,’” she recalled.

Jewish Students Opposing Gaza Genocide, a Powerful Counter to Antisemitism
May 23, 2024
The many Jewish
students in the campus encampments, along with other Jews protesting the Gaza
phase of the Palestinian Genocide, deserve the highest praise for many
reasons. One reason is that by their
deeds they are countering what might otherwise turn into a wave of
antisemitism.
