A wave of fresh bombings and military ground operations by Israel were underway in the city of Khan Younis on Friday as images of Palestinian families once again forced to flee plastered global news sites and world leaders, including the United States, refused to intervene to stop the relentless assault being inflicted on the people of Gaza.

The defeat of Cori Bush in her primary election on Tuesday left a lot of advocates for Palestinian rights in the United States despairing. It’s an understandable feeling.

Israeli MP condones sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners

Helen McCue

August 7, 2024

What democracy would accept a member of parliament agreeing that it was permissible and acceptable for its soldiers to sexually abuse political prisoners by “putting a stick up their rectum” and reinforcing this torture and war crimes by saying, “Yes, with these people everything is acceptable. Everything”. That so called “democracy” is Israel. It has for years boasted about it’s military being the “most moral army in the world” when in fact it is now the most immoral army in the world run by a fascist, brutal, extremist, rogue government dominated by messianic settlers.

نخستین روز مدرسه

زمانی‌ که انسان به سن خاصی‌ می‌رسد جزوی از تاریخ می‌شود. تاریخ شرح وقایع گذشته است، و تک‌تکِ هر لحظهٔ هست را به بود تبدیل می‌کند! پاره‌ای از زندگی‌ خاطرات جالبی‌ هستند که می‌توان آنها را داستان نامید. در زیر دو داستان می‌آیند که به دلیل استثنائی بودن، و یا حداقل کمی‌ متفاوت بودن آنها، به داستان تبدیل شده‌ا‌ند. نخستین داستان در شش سالگی من روی داد که به تفصیل در اینجا می‌آید. سپس به داستان دیگری می‌پردازم که در همان سال اتفاق افتاد و آن آغاز ورود من به مدرسه و تحصیل بود. این دو داستان را تا به آنجا که به خاطر می‌آورم نقل می‌کنم.ا

The Undemocratic Reality of Capitalism

Richard D. Wolff

August 6, 2024

Fans of capitalism like to say it is democratic or that it supports democracy. Some have stretched language so far as to literally equate capitalism with democracy, using the terms interchangeably. No matter how many times that is repeated, it is simply not true and never was. Indeed, it is much more accurate to say that capitalism and democracy are opposites. To see why, you have only to look at capitalism as a production system where employees enter into a relationship with employers, where a few people are the boss, and most people simply work doing what they are told to do. That relationship is not democratic; it is autocratic.

After 300 Days of Israeli Assault, Many Gazans Too Malnourished to Donate Blood

August 2, 2024

As Palestinians and humanitarians around the world marked 300 days of horror in Gaza, an aid organization highlighted a pernicious consequence of Israel's nearly 10-month assault: A hospital in the northern part of the enclave was forced to turn away many who arrived to give blood to help those wounded by bombs and bullets because the potential donors themselves were too malnourished and sick.

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.
