‘Genocide Olympics’: Israeli soccer team plays in Paris as IDF bombs school in Gaza
August 1, 2024
On the same day
that Israeli forces bombed a girls’ school in central Gaza, killing at least 30
people and injuring over 100, Israel’s soccer team was allowed to compete
without sanctions at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Even though Paraguay defeated
Israel 4-2, TRNN’s Dave Zirin reports that “Israel actually won this, because
they were allowed to play at all.” In this on-the-ground report from Paris,
Zirin covers the protests and politics surrounding Saturday’s soccer match.

The Olympics banned Russia for Occupying Ukraine, but not Israel, which Occupies Palestinians and has Killed 39K
July 31, 2024
Belfast (Special
to Informed Comment; Feature) – Nagham Abu Samrah was 24 years old Palestinian
karate champion from Gaza. She had the potential to participate in the 2024
Paris Olympic games. Unfortunately, an Israeli attack on her home killed her
sister and left her seriously wounded . Unconscionably, Israeli authorities
delayed her permission to leave Gaza for treatment, and when she finally
reached an Egyptian hospital, she died soon thereafter.

War Crime: Israelis Circulating Degrading Sexualized Photos of Palestinian Prisoners
July 30, 2024
Israeli forces
have been publishing degrading photographs and videos of detained Palestinians,
including children, a form of inhumane treatment and an outrage on their

Humanity Has Two Choices: Unification or Mass Suicide
July 29, 2024
The intensifying
cascade of global crises including intractable wars, massive human rights
atrocities, nuclear proliferation, climate change and environmental
degradation, the growing inequality between the rich and the poor, recurring
bouts of global financial instability, and the increasing risks of pandemics to
name but a few, call to mind the warning sounded by Arnold Toynbee, one of the
most highly-regarded authorities and foremost experts on international affairs
and world history in the 20th century, that humanity would be faced with an
existential crisis followed by his recommendation as to what we, the family of
nations, should do in response.

No More Silence
July 27, 2024
I do not know
how it is in your household, but in mine we have developed the practice over
the past nine months of reciting to one another the most appalling of the news
bulletins from Gaza that come our way from a great variety of sources. It is
rather miserable to think life has come to this, reading aloud daily accounts
of atrocities, but there is no turning away from the depths to which terrorist
Israel has dragged the whole of humanity.

China throws clout behind Palestine
July 26, 2024
HONG KONG – The
Beijing Declaration, signed earlier this week, constitutes yet another stunning
Chinese diplomatic coup, but the document goes far beyond affirming China’s
pull.

Butcher of Gaza Netanyahu Repeatedly Lied to Congress about Iraqi “Nukes,” and now Wants US War on Iran
July 24, 2024
Ann Arbor
(Informed Comment) – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is a master of
misdirection, the technique master illusionists use to divert the viewer’s
attention from the trick and to pull the wool over their eyes. He uses his
slick American accent, his bulging eyes, his rhetorical flourishes, his
maniacal certainty, to fool people whenever and however he can.
Palestinian first responders assess the damage after a tent marked as
‘press’ was targeted in an Israeli attack in the central Gaza Strip. One
Palestinian writer and researcher was killed, and two others were
injured. According to the Gaza Media Office, 163 Palestinian journalists
and media workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7th. (Photo:

Is this my selection?
This question is asked
when a person has to choose between two or more. This means that in many cases in
our lives, we cannot do the work we like or that is in our interest. Therefore,
we elect a person who will do on our behalf the action that we wanted to do. We
have named this process either an election, and the person who is selected or
elected makes decisions on our behalf. The chosen person could be a lawmaker, a
law that could either benefit or harm us. Therefore, it is very important that
we are aware of who we elect to represent us.
آیا این گزیدهٔ من است؟
این پرسش زمانی صورت میگیرد که شخص باید تصمیم بگیرد که بین دو یا چند، یکی را انتخاب کند. بدین معنی که در موارد بسیاری از زندگی ما نمیتوانیم آن کاری را که دوست داریم و به نفع ماست انجام دهیم. بنابراین، ما شخصی را انتخاب میکنیم که برگزیدهٔ ما باشد و به نمایندگی از ما آن عملی را که ما میخواستیم انجام دهیم، به جای ما انجام دهد. ما این جریان یا پروسه را انتخابات و یا گزینش نامگذاری کردهایم ، و شخصی که انتخاب میشود، بجای ما و به نمایندگی از ما تصمیم میگیرد. شخص انتخاب شده از طرف ما ممکن است در مصدر کاری قرار گیرد که قانون گذاری کند، و این قانون نفع و ضررش به ما خواهد رسید. بنابراین بسیار مهم است که ما آگاه باشیم که چه کسی را به نمایندگی از خود انتخاب میکنیم.ا

The uncounted Gaza victims: Why hundreds of thousands are being allowed to die
July
23, 2024
Earlier
this month, the Lancet published an article estimating that the total number of
Palestinian civilian deaths caused directly and indirectly by Israeli attacks
since October 2023 could be nearly five times higher than the official death
toll, and could reach “up to 186 000 or even more.”

In Umm al-Khair, the occupation is damning us to multigenerational trauma
July
22, 2024
The
demolition forces enter the village. All the children run to their mothers, who
scramble to salvage whatever they can from their homes before it’s too late.
Everyone watches on anxiously to see who will be made homeless today. The
bulldozers gather in the center of the village and then stop. Soldiers
disembark. The villagers look each other in the eye, searching for words of
comfort, but there are none. Our children ask us why this is happening, but we
have no answers.
Feeling the heat: capitalism and global warming
July
22, 2024
We
are in real trouble. Global carbon dioxide emissions (the main cause of global
warming) continue to rise, hitting a new high in 2023. Last year was also the
hottest in recorded history and, year by year, more Americans are feeling the
consequences. Yet, we have seen only modest attempts to bring emissions down.
