Kufur Qaddoum: Nazi Army Shoots Two Palestinians at the Weekly Procession

Nazi occupation forces attacked, on Friday afternoon, the weekly anti-settlement procession, in the village of Kufur Qaddoum, east of Qalqilia, in the northwestern part of the West Bank, local sources reported. Media sources said that Nazi troops fired rubber-coated steel rounds, concussion grenades, and tear gas canisters at the Palestinian demonstrators, injuring two young men with steel rounds, while dozens of others sustained inhalation injuries. All of those who sustained injuries were treated by local medics at the scene. Nazi JEWISH colonists from the nearby illegal “Kedumin” settlement, established on expropriated Palestinian lands, have full access to the street, while Palestinians are forced to take longer routes east to Nablus city, the nearest major commercial cen...

Palestinian activists tore down, on Thursday, tents and structures set up by illegal Nazi JEWISH colonists on the privately-owned lands of citizens of Kafr al-Labad village, east of Tulkarem, in the northwestern part of the occupied West Bank.

How the US Ascended to Global Empire in the 20th Century

BY PATRICK MAZZA Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair The way the U.S. global empire developed to be the most powerful empire in history is encapsulated in the first three presidents of the 20th century, William Appleman Williams wrote in his final work, published in 1980, Empire as a Way of Life: An Essay on the Causes and Character of America’s Present Predicament Along with a Few Thoughts About an Alternative. Theodore Roosevelt, president from 1900-09, was arguably the first to hold that office with a vision for the U.S. as a world power. Famous for his saying, “Speak softly and carry a big stick,” TR was the embodiment of the U.S. as a global policeman, benevolent in its own view. In relations with Latin America, Roosevelt said nations “must have a just regard for...

Bad Things That Could End the Good Times

BY DEAN BAKER Photograph by Nathaniel St. Clair Along with everyone else (okay, not Republicans), I have been celebrating the great economic news we’ve been getting the last few weeks. Inflation is clearly slowing, the unemployment rate remains low, real wages are rising, investment is growing rapidly, and the green conversion is going faster than any of us could have imagined, even if it’s nowhere near fast enough. To be clear, we have plenty of very serious problems. Close to 40 million people still live below the poverty line and roughly that same number are close enough that paying bills every month is a huge struggle. We’ve made little progress in reducing the racial and gender gaps in wages and even less in wealth. The list is long, there are plenty of things that we sh...

The Struggles of Black and African History in Britain

BY MALICK DOUCOURÉ Image by Debby Hudson. The University of Chichester has unilaterally announced that it will suspend the important MRes (Master by Research) on ‘The History of Africa and the African Diaspora’. This decision was abruptly taken overnight without consulting its course leader, the world-renowned academic Professor Hakim Adi, currently the only Professor of the History of Africa and the African diaspora in Britain. More than that, Professor Adi is actually the first person of African heritage to become a history professor in Britain – but despite this accolade, he is not being celebrated, but rather threatened with redundancy. What does this move signal for the broader study of Africa and its diaspora in the United Kingdom? What consequences can Blac...

Letter from London: Only the Lonely

BY PETER BACH Stephen Rae and Sinéad O’Connor (as apparition of Virgin Mary) in The Butcher Boy (1997). There is such a thing as a ‘Reconceptualising Loneliness in London’ report. I came across it by accident. It was commissioned by the Greater London Authority (GLA). It says there are 700,000 Londoners affected by severe loneliness. 12 per cent of these are young, 18 per cent are low-income, 15 per cent are LGBTQ+, 12 per cent are Single Parents, and 18 per cent Deaf and Disabled. As creative non-fiction king Tom Wolfe once wrote, ‘The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.’ Principal areas for a...

The coup d’état was immediately condemned by the Economic Community of West African States, by the African Union, and by the European Union. Both France and the United States—which have military bases in Niger—said that they were watching the situation closely. A tussle between the Army—which claimed to be pro-Bazoum—and the presidential guard threatened the capital, but ...
