by Sarmad Ishfaq We are witnessing the genocide of the Palestinians based on algorithms and machine learning; a system of apartheid in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip reinforced by artificial intelligence; and surveillance and facial recognition systems of such prowess that Orwell’s 1984 regime would be green with envy. Today’s Israeli-occupied Palestine manifests […]

Israel/ Palestine
How rich Philanthropists exert undue Influence over pro-Palestinian Activism at Universities
By Fahad Ahmad, Toronto Metropolitan University qne Adam Saifer, University of British Columbia | – (The Conversation) On university campuses across North America, a new anti-war movement has emerged. Camped-out students are pressuring their universities to divest from companies that profit off the Israeli war machine, to cut ties with Israeli institutions and to publicly […]
Bernie Sanders is right to Boycott “War Criminal” Netanyahu’s address to Congress, but the PM isn’t the first War Criminal to be Invited
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Sen. Bernie Sanders has been scathing about the invitation issued by Congressional leaders to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to address them. Sanders blasts Netanyahu as a “war criminal” and says he will boycott the appearance. The Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court in the Hague has requested arrest […]
Far Right Totalitarians in Israeli Cabinet threaten to Crash the Government if it Agrees to Biden’s Gaza Plan
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – The Israeli newspaper Arab 48 reports that extremist government ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich continue to put pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and are threatening to bring down the government if he agrees to the suggestion for a truce put forward by US President Joe Biden on Friday […]
A Bloody Ratio: Israel’s Tent Camp Massacre shows futility of its Rafah Campaign
by Binoy Kampmark It was much like witnessing a boy killing flies, with a slight afterthought of apology. The spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari, did little to acquit himself, or the cause, as to why more Palestinian civilians had been indulgently killed in yet another Israeli airstrike. “Despite our […]
Biden on Trump: “No one is above the Law;” Except for Israel’s Netanyahu
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Donald J. Trump, found responsible for rape and found guilty of a whole raft of election fraud felonies, is a horrible person and bears no comparison to Joe Biden. But in one respect they have an unfortunate resemblance. Both have shown profound disrespect for the courts adjudicating their or their […]
Beyond a Two State Solution – Why Recognising the State of Palestine is Important
( Middle East Monitor ) – In politics, context is crucial. To truly appreciate the recent decision by Ireland, Spain and Norway to recognise the State of Palestine, the subject has to be placed in proper context. On 15 November, 1988, Yasser Arafat, then Chairman of the Palestine Liberation Organisation, declared Palestine as an independent […]
Israel’s Experiments in Gaza are the new Face of America’s imperial Laboratory
( The New Arab ) – On Saturday, October 7 2023, a significant shift occurred in the Palestinian-Israeli narrative. A normalised, gradual genocide over 76 years of Zionist colonialism, peppered by savage episodes of “mowing the lawn”, obscured by liberal Zionist propaganda and backed by imperial Washington, became an unapologetic, even gleeful mass murder of […]
Israel’s Onslaught of Revenge
( Tomdispatch.com ) – 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 […]
