Take Back America From the Oligarchs

What we are witnessing is not just economic decline—it is a calculated transfer of power, wealth, and dignity from the people who built this country to the corporate and political class who believe they own it.

This Passover, We Must Reckon With Israel’s Massacre of Children in Gaza
April 11, 2025
Brant Rosen
The Passover story decries a ruler who inflicts atrocities on children. The Israeli military is doing that now in Gaza.

Has Israel turned Gaza into a 21st Century Concentration Camp?
April 11, 2025
Dr. Mustafa Fetouri
The basic definition of “concentration camp” is simple: a large place where a large group of people, usually civilians, are imprisoned without due process. There are various reasons as to why they are kept in confinement, including their ethnicity, religion or because they oppose the authorities ordering their imprisonment.

As Israel escalates strikes in Lebanon, residents say it ‘will not keep us from the path of resistance’
April 11, 2025
Roqayah Chamseddine
The failure of the Lebanese government to protect against Israeli attacks is leading Lebanon down two roads: either Hezbollah will re-enter the war in defense of the Lebanese people, or the government will prevail and content itself to sit back.

The Ecology of Occupation: Palestine’s Struggle for Land and Life
April 10, 2025
Michael Morrill
In the fractured and scarred landscapes of Palestine, where the earth’s skin is etched with memories of violence, dispossession, and resistance, there lies an unspoken tragedy. An ecological tragedy. Beyond the suffocating walls of the occupation, beneath the rubble of homes and the twisting olive trees, there is a landscape slowly being strangled, not only by military might but by the relentless, invisible hand of environmental degradation. This is a tale not just of loss—of life and liberty—but of a land under siege, of natural resources turned into tools of war and power.

Israel’s innocent oopsie-poopsie medical massacre mistake
The Israeli military has changed its story
about why its forces killed 15 medical workers and then buried them and
their vehicles to hide the evidence. After their initial claim that the
medical vehicles were approaching “suspiciously” without their
emergency lights on was disproven by video evidence, they are now
calling the whole thing a big mistake.

Israel’s army is pummeling Gaza with an intensity that parallels the deadliest phase of the war, displacing civilians en masse from Rafah and Gaza City.

Russia–Iran–China: All for one, and one for all?

Pepe Escobar
Although perhaps not yet obvious to Washington, a US war on Iran will be viewed as one against Russia and China too. Both Putin and Xi know that Trump's war is singularly directed at the transformational global 'changes they are driving together.'

Iran must Unconditionally Release Nobel Laureate Narges Mohammadi
April 8, 2025
Human Rights Watch – (Beirut) – Iranian authorities are threatening to return the human rights defender and Nobel Peace Laureate Narges Mohammadi to prison to serve the remainder of her unjust sentence as a means to pressure her to cease her rights advocacy, Human Rights Watch said today. The authorities should immediately end their ongoing harassment and unconditionally release her and everyone else arbitrarily detained for their human rights activism.

A Potent Protest in San Francisco, 5 April 2025

Jonah Raskin
They did not come to the Civic Center in San Francisco on April 5, 2025 to speak truth to power. They know that power doesn’t listen to people, not the powerful but vulnerable demigods in the White House. They came to acknowledge one another, to build a community in the open air and to air their grievances. It was a defining feature of the crowd that numbered in the thousands that no two signs were identical just as no people were identical and no two people dressed identically. They were individuals, separate and autonomous and yet linked by their total rejection of Trump and Musk whose names were deliberately misspelled in the spirit of disdain and disgust.

I had a choice the other day in Shanghai: Which Tomorrowland to visit? Should I check out the fake, American-designed Tomorrowland at Shanghai Disneyland, or should I visit the real Tomorrowland — the massive new research center, roughly the size of 225 football fields, built by Chinese technology giant Huawei? I went to Huawei’s.

Israel Killed Both Parents: 17,000 Gaza Children are worst Orphan Crisis in Modern History

Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The renewed total war against Palestinian civilians in Gaza waged by the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has recreated the worst headlines of 2024, but this time no one is watching, as the deliberately-created Trump crises suck up all the oxygen in the news universe. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
