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, 2024
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.

‘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

September 11, 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.

September 10, 2024
For three hours under the darkness of Gaza’s night sky, search-and-rescue teams dug bodies and survivors out of piles of sand. Eventually, they paused, exhausted, to wait for 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.

Israeli torture chambers aren’t new. They are what provoked the violence of Oct 7

September 8, 2024
For many years I lived just up the road from Megiddo prison in northern Israel, where new film of Israeli guards torturing Palestinians en masse has been published by Israel’s Haaretz newspaper. I drove past Megiddo prison on hundreds of occasions. Over time I came to barely notice the squat grey buildings, surrounded by watch towers and razor wire.
