Gaza is not Israel
The Israel-Hamas conflict centers on the Gazan Strip and West Bank, areas captured by Israel during the Six-Day War and home to millions of Palestinians. Hamas, an Islamic resistance organization, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad are significant militant groups in these territories. Other factions include religious and secular Zionists with contrasting beliefs and motivations. The…

Las discusiones en torno al conflicto palestino israelí están plagadas de falacias y sensibilidades. Es necesario desarmar las extorsiones argumentativas y pensar el fondo del conflicto.
Wanted to point to a great article, written by Ariel Feldman, for Jacobin Latino America. First, the translation: Discussions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict are plagued with fallacies and sensitivities. It is necessary to dismantle the argumentative extortions and think about the substance of the conflict. Right? It’s so succinct, but does not start any discussion…

Call it: ‘Squad’ member Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., drew criticism for retweeting a photo of dead children with the caption “CHILD GENOCIDE IN PALESTINE.”
Can’t be sure on this one – although I personally feel pretty sure. This fits “the squad” well – they are young and brash and products and producers of the this digital age. They are not immune to information control – either as the victims, or the perpetrators. I do not see these women as…

I give credit to Biden, if he deserves it.
President Biden @POTUS We must not lose sight of the fact that the overwhelming majority of Palestinians had nothing to do with Hamas’s appalling attacks, and are suffering as a result of them. https://x.com/POTUS/status/1713525125478228437?s=20 On the other hand, the innocent Palestinians are NOT suffering as a result of Hamas’ actions. In the real world, they…

Ehud Barak is rational
Mr. Barak criticizes Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu’s talk of “destroying Hamas,” calling for a clearer objective to deny Hamas its military capabilities, rather than eradicating its ideology. He suggests careful action against Hamas based on international law, and after reducing its military power, advocates for the reestablishment of the Palestinian Authority in Gaza. He proposes…

After the Attack, Israeli Rulers Launch Genocidal Destruction – by Ralph Nader
After the Attack, Israeli Rulers Launch Genocidal Destruction In the immediate aftermath of Hamas’s horrific counterattack on mostly Israeli civilians and Israel’s hourly genocidal bombing on Gaza’s more than 2 million people – nearly 40% of whom are children – it is unlikely that the Western or U.S. mass media will focus on what should be the…

Keeping it up – the Good v. the Bad
NY Times headline Retaliating for a deadly weekend attack by Hamas terrorists, Israel is pummeling Gaza. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/10/12/world/israel-gaza-war-hamas?campaign_id=60&emc=edit_na_20231012&instance_id=0&nl=breaking-news&ref=cta®i_id=187480433&segment_id=147219&user_id=cfa6b4e4b86fdbdb8c19a263ec2bb430 So, they make sure to construct the sentence: <justification for mass slaughter>, comma, <pummeling>. You see, without the justification, it would just be pummeling, which is the everyday thing with Israel. They pummel. It’s a long-standing agreement, justified…
