On the history, meaning, and power of “From the River To the Sea”

Slogans are never just statements etched in stone and "From the River to the Sea" is no exception. Its history, use, and the controversy it generates, reflects the liberatory aspirations, and backlash against, the movement for Palestinian freedom. BY ELLIOTT COLLA   NATIONAL MARCH ON WASHINGTON: FREE PALESTINE, NOVEMBER 4, 2023. (PHOTO: LAURA ALBAST) It is unclear when and where the slogan the slogan “from the river to the sea,” first emerged within Palestinian protest culture. There are many online sources that confidently claim that it emerged from within the post-67 Palestinian militant movements but provide no documentation for this. The Palestinian revolutionary media of the 60s and 70s is replete with rich and pithy political slogans—but in those sources, I have yet to enco...

International Campaign Urging ICC Investigation Into Nazi War Crimes in Gaza

International Campaign Urging ICC Investigation Into Israel’s Alleged War Crimes in Gaza An Initiate of CODEPINK By CODEPINK In the wake of alarming statements by Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which have been perceived as incitement to genocide in Palestine, CODEPINK and its international partners are spearheading a global letter-writing initiative calling for an investigation by the International Criminal Court (ICC) into Israel’s actions in Gaza.

According to Article 5 of the Rome Statute, the ICC holds jurisdiction in cases where states are “unable” or “unwilling” to prosecute t...

The Pentagon Proclaims Failure in its War on Terror in Africa

BY NICK TURSE Photograph Source: Petty Officer 2nd Class Cameron Edy – Public Domain America’s Global War on Terror has seen its share of stalemates, disasters, and outright defeats. During 20-plus years of armed interventions, the United States has watched its efforts implode in spectacular fashion, from Iraq in 2014 to Afghanistan in 2021. The greatest failure of its “Forever Wars,” however, may not be in the Middle East, but in Africa. “Our war on terror begins with al-Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated,” President George W. Bush told the American people in the immediate wake of the 9/11 attacks, noting specifically that such militants had designs on “vast regions” of...

The Ghosts of Waco Still Haunt America

BY JAMES BOVARD Image: James Bovard. After decades of writing about the greatest atrocity of 1993, I finally visited Waco last week.  I was traveling with a friend who was hepped up on seeing Waco’s most popular tourist site – Magnolia, a massive shopping complex spawned by an HGTV program on home remodeling. That venue was easy to spot thanks to its trademark giant silo in the downtown area.  Having grown up in a farming area, I struggled mightily to comprehend how a silo could become a chic fashion symbol. The main building was overstocked with frenzied, middle-aged women who would not be described as “bookish.” There was a surplus of henpecked husbands holding their wives’ purses. Prices seemed whackier than the customers:  a burlap bag that looked like it h...
