No better time for Ukraine peace talks than now

The conflict between Moscow and Kiev cannot be resolved on the battlefield, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has said FILE PHOTO: Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto ©  Global Look Press / Tomas Tkacik Conditions for negotiations to end the Ukrainian conflict will only worsen, Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto predicted in Budapest on Friday. The two sides, he believes, wouldn’t be in a better position for talks than now. At present, Moscow is prepared to seek a diplomatic solution to the crisis, according to Russian President Vladimir Putin, while Kiev and its backers, including the US and NATO, are still refusing to enter such talks. “There will be no better conditions for peace negotiations than the present,” Szijjarto told ...

The whistleblower’s plight

By Lawrence Davidson Daniel Ellsberg’s farewell message In the 1960s, Daniel Ellsberg worked for the US State Department. It was at this post that he gained access to the “Pentagon Papers” – 7,000 pages of “top secret” documents on the history of US involvement in Vietnam. It showed in great detail how the government had spent decades lying to the American public in order to sustain an ultimately unwindable war. After some hesitancy, Ellsberg decided that this amounted to the history of mass murder and decided to leak the information to the press. By doing so, he risked life in prison. Shortly before he died on 16 June 2023, at the age of 92, Ellsberg recorded a farewell message. In that message he confessed that he had delayed for several years before he made public the...

UK government votes to become a stooge for the Nazi regime

UK government votes to become a stooge for Israel MPs rob the public of more freedoms in order to shield the apartheid state from criticism and boycott By Stuart Littlewood The UK’s House of Commons has just passed the second reading of the government’s Economic Activity of Public Bodies (Overseas Matters) Bill, which aims to ban Britain’s public bodies from boycotting or divesting from foreign countries and territories, especially Israel. It did so as Israel’s troops rampaged and slaughtered their way through the Palestinian town of Jenin, which is home to thousands of refugees and their descendants who were dispossessed and put to flight by murderous Jewish militias rampaging through their homeland and stealing their lands and resources in 1947-48. The government...

Supplying cluster bombs to Ukraine: how low can the US go?

“Cluster bombs don’t end wars: they prolong the killing for years afterwards” Stuart Littlewood writes: So Biden is “doing the dirty”, this time the dirtiest imaginable. He’s approved the US sending cluster munitions to Ukraine to help its war against Russia. This will be part of a new military aid package worth $800 million. Peace movement Code Pink are telling their activists: Instead of supporting a ceasefire and peace talks, the Pentagon is sending illegal weapons to a conflict zone… Congress can block the transfer of these weapons whenever they want, but they need to hear from you. There’s a reason why over 100 countries have banned the use of cluster munitions. Shells that contain hundreds to thousands of smaller bomblets dropped from the air to litter areas...

French rioters and Palestinian fighters send similar messages

By James Dorsey At first, comparing Palestinian gunmen in the Israeli-occupied West Bank to rioting youth in France may resemble likening apples to pears. In many ways, it is. Youth in France are fully-fledged French citizens demanding an end to disenfranchisement, marginalisation, alienation, racism, and law enforcement and security force brutality. That is where Palestinians would like to be after 56 years of occupation with no prospect for independence or integration into Israel with the kind of rights accorded to all, irrespective of ethnicity or religion, by French law, even if reality in France offers a different picture. Yet, armed Palestinian resistance and French rioting have a common message: violence results from governmental and societal failure to...

The UK’s new sanctions on Iran will change nothing

The world’s top superpower has failed to crush Tehran, so what hope does London have? By: Robert Inlakesh Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi at a military parade marking the country's annual army day in Tehran on April 18, 2023 ©  ATTA KENARE / AFP The UK’s new sanctions regime against Tehran will make little material difference, other than prompting unneeded backlash and imprinting the impression of recklessness on the government in London. As Iran rises in today’s multipolar world, Britain’s obsession with the Western order of the past only weighs it down. British Foreign Secretary James Cleverly announced that his government had decided to create a new sanctions regime for Iran, expanding the United Kingdom’s powers to sanction decision makers in Te...
