Israel/ Palestine
The Slow Suicide of the State of Israel
Bloomington, In. (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – A dozen years ago I visited Israel on a two-week trip as a guest of an American pro-Israel group. I asked several of the speakers we heard, “Where do you think Israel will be in a hundred years?” The speakers invariably looked at me as though I […]
Gaza: We Analyzed a Year of Satellite Images to Map the Scale of Agricultural Destruction
By Lina Eklund, Lund University; He Yin, Kent State University , and Jamon Van Den Hoek, Oregon State University (The Conversation) – The ceasefire agreed between Israel and Hamas makes provisions for the passage of food and humanitarian aid into Gaza. This support is much needed given that Gaza’s agricultural system has been severely damaged […]
The art of the Steal: Lawless sheriff Trump goes Rogue in Gaza
Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into a resort tests public tolerance for illegal and immoral actions, part of a wider pattern of US imperialism, says Yoav Litvin. The new ‘rules-based order’ is that there are no rules, except the capricious decrees of the strongman, writes Yoav Litvin ( The New Arab ) – After two […]
Trump, an American Stalin? Massive Population Transfers were a Feature of Communist Dictatorship
Ann Arbor (Informed Comment) – Trump’s proposal to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its 2.3 million Palestinians constitutes a profound reversal of post-1945 U.S. norms, which condemned such mass relocations of indigenous populations. It is the sort of thing Soviet dictator Josef Stalin used to do, and Trump has to decide if he wants his legacy […]
Ethnic Cleansing for “Gaza’s Riviera”? A Secret Israeli Memo and Trump’s Plan to Displace 2.3 million Palestinians
During a press conference with PM Netanyahu on Tuesday evening, President Trump said the United States “will take over” the Gaza Strip. Around the world, observers were shocked. But the statement didn’t come out of the blue. “The US will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too,” Trump […]
Israel’s Increasingly Extremist Turn to Misogyny is Pinkwashed, while the Press Stereotypes Muslims
Belfast (Special to Informed Comment) – Pinkwashing of discrimination against women in Israeli politics and society has led western politicians and media to ignore the issue. Israeli news sites, in contrast, are frank about this worsening problem, which is spearheaded by the far right. In this article I will look at misogyny within the political […]
The Great March of Hope: Gaza’s Defiance against Erasure
( Middle East Monitor ) – The return of one million Palestinians from southern Gaza to the north on 27 January felt as if history was choreographing one of its most earth-shattering events in recent memory. Hundreds of thousands of people marched along a single street, the coastal Rashid Street, at the furthest western stretch […]
Are we All Hungarians now, or Palestinians? Trump’s Onslaught on the Rule of Law and Civil Liberties
Oakland, Ca. (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – Most of (convicted felon) Donald Trump’s Executive Orders are brazenly unconstitutional, and stand to be reversed in Court rulings by thoughtful, law-abiding judges. But the red elephants in the room are the sycophantic, compliant judges he appointed during his last term such as Aileen Cannon of Florida. […]
