Blatant Hypocrisy: LIE AND MEDIA SPREAD THE LIES

Blatant Hypocrisy in Response to Russian, Israeli and U.S. Aggressions Protesters hold “Peace now'” placards during the demonstration in Regent Street.

Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, October 2023, pp. 38-39 Special Report By Ron Forthofer THE U.S. MAKES CLEAR its shameful hypocrisy about war and occupation in its contrasting treatments of actions taken by Russia and Israel as well as of Ukrainians and Palestinians. Israel attacked and invaded Arab lands in 1967. Palestinians and Syrians have been living under Israeli occupation since then, and Israel has been able, with steadfast U.S. support, to defy and undermi...

A Letter to a Nazi Soldiers

A Letter to IDF Soldiers ELLEN SIEGEL  Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, October 2023, p. 21 Special Report By Ellen Siegel IN SEPTEMBER 2012, on the 30th anniversary of the massacre at Sabra and Shatila refugee camps in Beirut, I wrote a letter to the Israeli soldiers who were on duty there <www.972mag.com/a-letter-to-the-idf-soldiers-at-sabra-and-shatila>. This September 2023, on the 41st anniversary of that massacre, we mark another atrocity in a Palestinian refugee camp, this one in Jenin, in the Occupied Territories. I am again writing a letter but this time to those Israeli soldiers on active duty who were in Jenin. I wonder if the children of those soldiers who were in Beirut participated in the invasion and destruction of...

Impunity Comes Home to Roost

Israel: Impunity Comes Home to Roost MOUIN RABBANI  Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, October 2023, pp. 8-9 Two Views—How Anarchy in the Jewish Supremacist Regime Affects Palestinians By Mouin Rabbani THE CONTENTION that the roots of Israel’s current political crisis are to be found in its policies toward the Palestinian people is gaining currency. According to this perspective, the authoritarian legislative agenda of Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s government, and the methods deployed to achieve it, represent the inevitable and inescapable culmination of Israel’s 75 years of oppression and repression of the Palestinian people, and particularly its systematic eradication of the rule of law in the Arab territories it has occupied since 1967. Some...

The Resistance vs. the Palestinian Authority: Will Abbas Lead Palestinians to Civil War?

DR. RAMZY BAROUD  Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, October 2023, pp. 12-13 By Dr. Ramzy Baroud From the Diaspora THIS IS THE PERFECT opportunity for Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to exit the stage. But he will not.  Abbas’ brief visit to the devastated Jenin refugee camp in the northern occupied West Bank on July 12, in what was promoted as a “solidarity“ visit to the camp, demonstrated the absurdity and danger of the PA and its 87-year-old leader.  As he walked, Abbas struggled to keep his balance. Thousands of frustrated Jenin residents took to the streets, hardly chanting Abbas’ name. Some looked on with disappointment; others asked where the president’s forces were when Israel invaded the camp, k...

The West appears to be preparing another regime change ‘uprising’ in Syria

Eva Bartlett is a Canadian independent journalist. She has spent years on the ground covering conflict zones in the Middle East, especially in Syria and Palestine (where she lived for nearly four years).  @evakbartlett FILE PHOTO: Fighters from the Army of Islam in Syria, June 22, 2015 ©  Amer AlMohipany/NurPhoto Twelve years on, the West’s war on Syria continues, with seemingly new plans to destabilize the country and overthrow its leadership. This after years of brutal sanctions against (and crocodile tears for) the Syrian people. Earlier this year, a discussion between journalist Edward Xu and Farhan Haq, deputy spokesman for the UN secretary-general, went viral when Xu’s questions led to a bold-faced display of feigned ignorance on the...

Japan’s Insane Immoral, Illegal Radioactive Dumping

BY ROBERT HUNZIKER Image by Yves Alarie. Japan cannot possibly outlive the atrocity of dumping radioactive wastewater into the Pacific Ocean. In fact, Tokyo Electric Power Company (TEPCO) is an example of how nuclear meltdowns negatively impact the entire world, as its toxic wastewater travels across the world in ocean currents. The dumping of stored toxic wastewater from the meltdown in 2011 officially started on August 24th, 2023. Meanwhile, the country restarts some of the nuclear plants that were shut down when the Fukushima Daichi Nuclear Power Plant exploded. Fukushima’s broken reactors are an example of why nuclear energy is a trap that can’t handle global warming or extreme natural disasters. Nuclear is an accident waiting to happen, for several reasons, including vic...

When Difi Took on the CIA Over Torture

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Feinstein in the late 1970s. Photograph Source: Nancy Wong – CC BY-SA 3.0 “Let me tell you, you take on the intelligence community, they have six ways from Sunday at getting back at you.  So, even for a practical, supposedly hard-nosed businessman, he’s being really dumb to do this.” Senator Charles Schumer’s reaction to then president Donald Trump’s criticism of the CIA, January 2017. This chilling remark from the Senate Democratic leader in response to Trump’s criticism of the Central Intelligence Agency regarding Russian hacking in the 2016 election remains perplexing six years later.  What in the world did Schumer mean?  Is he suggesting that the CIA could engage in antagonistic leaks or is he suggesting the “darker forms of sabotage ...

G-7 and BRICS Visions of the Future: Coercive Unipolarity or Cooperative Multipolarity

BY RICHARD FALK First G6 summit at the Chateau de Rambouillet in November 1975 – Public Domain When the Cold War ended in 1991, the West, and particularly the United States, found itself at a fork in the road. One road led to peace, justice, cooperation, nuclear disarmament, a revitalized UN, inclusiveness, pluralism, human rights, multilateralism, fair trade, regulated markets, food security, energy transition, sustainability, and humane governance. The other road led to militarism, intervention, warmongering, nuclearism, conflict, sanctions, regime-changing interventions, multiple trends toward inequality, predatory neoliberal globalization, hegemony, geopolitical primacy. Unfortunately, the. victorious side in the Cold War immediately chose the familiar more traveled road of ...

The History of Silencing Black Lawmakers in the US

BY RODNEY COATES Photograph Source: Georgia National Guard – CC BY 2.0 Some Republican lawmakers in Georgia are targeting Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, a Black Democrat representing a majority Black district, for removal from office. These efforts come in the midst of Willis’ investigation and prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 others for their alleged conspiracy to overturn results of the state’s 2020 presidential election. Before a Fulton County grand jury indicted Trump and his co-defendants, Georgia Republican lawmakers pushed through legislation to set up a Prosecuting Attorneys Qualifications Commission, which has the power to discipline or remove from office elected district attorneys whom commission members believe are not adequ...
