Hezbollah Deputy Secretary-General Naim Qassem in an interview with El Mundo (2/2)

Wednesday, 15 November 2023

What happened on October 7 was a great act by oppressed Palestinians against an occupation that left them no choice in the last 75 years, where they suffered assassinations, the creation of settlements, the siege of Gaza or continuous assaults on the Al-Aqsa Mosque. For all this, we consider it a very important and noble act, even if some details could have been avoided. But “israel” and the US cannot use that as a pretext to justify all these massacres.

GAZA in real time: Geopolitics versus Genocide

Tuesday, 31 October 2023 — Global Justice in the 21st Century

Richard Falk

[Prefatory Note: A modified version of this interview conducted by Daniel Falcone, with a long introduction was published online in Truthout on October 29, 2023, The situation in Gaza and its increasingly regional implications grow more humanly distressing and politically menacing with each passing day. Israel has succeeded in influencing the Global West and its corporate main media platforms to accept two interpretations of events following the Oct 7 Hamas attack that are at best highly contentious and controversial and, in my understanding, deeply misleading and distorting: (1) that Hamas is nothing other than a group of terrorists engaged in barbaric crimes, and should be addressed in the same manner as ISIS and Al-Qaeda; (2) that it is legitimate in such a conflict to override normal rules of international law, even to the extent of engaging in genocidal means of ethnic cleansing.

Russia and China Must Prevent Genocide and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine

18 October 2023 — CovertAction Magazine

Will justice prevail for the first time in the new multicentric world order? A short manual for damage control in the Middle East

Humankind is on the edge of an extremely dangerous military and moral precipice. It faces the prospect of internationally approved and widely applauded genocide (the destruction of an ethnic group) and radical ethnic cleansing (its forced displacement) on a large-scale in record time. To make things worse, the war crimes are being perpetrated by a state actor (Israel) that calls itself “democratic” against a disenfranchised people (the Palestinians) in a fight between David and Goliath that is likely to take a different turn than the biblical story.

The normalisation of anti-Palestinian racism

Friday, 27 October 2023 — Institute of Race Relations

Racism, in essence, involves dehumanisation, the attaching of less value to certain lives. And it can also involve criminalisation, for example by turning one group into a suspect community needing control and harsher punishment. What we have witnessed here since 7 October is a transformation of a knee-jerk anti-Palestinianism into a fully-fledged anti-Palestinian racism permeating politics and British culture on a scale never witnessed before. For now the frameworks of the war on terror are superimposed on anti-Palestinianism, leading to the criminalisation of national symbols and cultural expressions in the diaspora such as the Palestinian flag or the Keffiyeh – moving the British Palestinian Committee to demand that public bodies ‘uphold their legal responsibilities to protect equal participation in democratic and civic space, by defending the rights of Palestinians in Britain and those who stand with our people in a spirit of solidarity and common humanity’.

Why the media aren’t telling the whole story of Libya’s floods

Friday, 15 September 2023 — Jonathan Cook

There are reasons for Libya’s ‘chaotic’, ‘dysfunctional’ response to the disaster. And to identify them, we need to look closer to home

Middle East Eye – 15 September 2023

The reality of the West’s trademark current foreign policy – marketed for the past two decades under the principle of a “Responsibility to Protect” – is all too visible amid Libya’s flood wreckage.
