Silent, or actively participating and profiting from it," said one Israeli journalist. JESSICA CORBETT Decades into the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine, massive crowds flooded Israel's streets on Sunday for another round of demonstrations to "save a democracy that never existed," as one journalist recently...

Peace Advocates Say Putin Plan Reveals Dangers of ‘Nuclear Deterrence’

Russian President Vladimir Putin speaks on the phone.  (Photo: Alexei Nikolsky/Russian Presidential Press and Information Office/TASS) "As long as countries continue their complicity in considering nuclear weapons as anything other than a global problem, this helps give Putin cover to get away with this kind of behavior," said one expert. KENNY STANCIL In addition to denouncing Russian President Vladimir Putin's plan to station so-called "tactical" nuclear weapons in Belarus, anti-war campaigners are calling into question the effectiveness of "nuclear deterrence" and reiterating their demands for global disarmament. "As long as Putin has nuclear weapons, Europe cannot be safe," Daniel Högsta, acting executive director of the International Campaign to...

UN Refugee Agency Says Biden Asylum Plan ‘Incompatible’ With International Law

A migrant girl from Central America cries next to the border wall while she tries to cross with her family from Mexico to the U.S. in Tijuana, Mexico on December 11, 2018.  (Photo: Carlos Garcia Rawlins/Reuters) "As proposed, the regulation would restrict the fundamental human right to seek asylum," said the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. JULIA CONLEY The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees on Monday urged the Biden administration to consider rescinding its proposed anti-asylum rule, which critics have compared to former President Donald Trump's "transit ban" that denied asylum to anyone who had traveled to the United States through a third country. The Departments of Justice and Homeland Security last month proposed th...

Water’s Moment: Advancing the Human Right to Water in the United States

Workers unload cases of bottled water to provide for elderly and disabled residents of a low-income apartment complex on September 3, 2022 in Jackson, Mississippi after a drink water emergency was ordered for the entire city.  (Photo by Joshua Lott/The Washington Post via Getty Images) Water isn't a commodity to be sold to only those that can pay. It's a basic right our government must provide to all residents. MONICA LEWIS-PATRICKSUSANA DE ANDA More than a decade ago, the United Nations declared that access to clean water and sanitation is a human right, underpinning all other goals for equality, health, and economic prosperity. The United States did not sign on. Today, on World Water Day, global leaders are gathering in New York to discuss progress to...

Solidarity with the people of Peru!

As in Bolivia, the people are resisting a US-backed coup that has removed their elected president and replaced him with a fascistic comprador. Party statement Subscribe to our  channel Once again in Latin America, an elected leftist presendent has been removed via a US-inspired coup. The Peruvian people, meanwhile, continue to protest, demanding an end to the bloody suppression of their protests, the resignation of Boluarte, the closure of the corrupt Peruvian congress, fresh elections, the convening of a new assembly to replace the Fujimori-era constitution, and the release of Pedro Castillo. The following joint statement was initiated by the Peruvian Communist party and signed by the CPGB-ML in Caracas. ***** The political parties meeting on the occ...

ULEZ: a green greed initiative

Not so much an environmental measure as a tax on driving and an effort to keep the car monopolies in profit. Party leaflet Subscribe to our  channel Dozens of numberplate-reading cameras have been vandalised or covered up by people opposed to Labour mayor Sadiq Khan’s widening of the (buy a new car) ‘clean air zone’ to the Greater London boundary. Download this leaflet as a pdf. The ‘ultra-low emission zone’ (ULEZ) was introduced in central London in April 2019 by London mayor Sadiq Khan, and expanded in October 2021 to cover central London between the North and South Circular roads. Khan intends to further expand the zone to cover all of London by August 2023. The stated aim was to reduce air pollution in London by penalising vehicles that ...

Anti-immigration propaganda stirs up anger and rioting in Knowsley

As the cost of living crisis brings suffering to workers, our rulers are once again using immigration to distract from their failures. Proletarian writers Subscribe to our  channel The recent riot in Kirkby was stirred up by the activities of a new right-wing organisation called Patriotic Alternative. With the usual demagogic trick of appearing to address the real concerns of workers, it promotes anti-immigrant hysteria, mixing this activism with litter-picking and help-the-homeless initiatives. The group also promotes a home-schooling syllabus. It is hardly surprising that far-right groups are achieving traction when the working class is surrounded by wall-to-wall hysteria blaming immigrants for their difficulties. Especially as access to a class analysis is deliberate...

Zionist Facebook brands Seymour Hersh reporting ‘false’

The US social media giant has cited counterclaims by “independent fact-checkers” from Norway and Ukraine FILE PHOTO: Seymour Hersh in 2004. ©  Bernard Weil / Toronto Star via Getty Images Facebook has been criticized after opting to label reports by US investigative journalist Seymour Hersh as “false.” Hersh has made claims about American involvement in the sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines and the alleged theft of US aid by Kiev, although the social media giant said “fact-checking” by outlets connected with Norway and Ukraine justified its use of the label. Hersh claimed in February that last year’s sabotage of the Nord Stream pipelines, which were built to transport gas from Russia to Germany, had been ordered by US President Joe Biden...

The west wants to leverage Estonia against Russia

The people of the Baltics are being used as more pawns and potential cannon fodder in Nato’s war against Russia. Ahmed Adel Subscribe to our  channel Estonia's leaders, like cocks crowing on the proverbial dung heap, believe they can make their pathetic threats against Russia with impunity, having been wound up by US and British imperialists and no doubt assuming their sponsors have their backs. They may have to back down in a hurry, however, if they really try to follow through on their vainglorious threats to block the Gulf of Finland to Russian ships. This article is reproduced from Infobrics, with thanks. ***** Western intentions to arm Estonia with the most modern types of conventional weapons which can target St Petersburg, as well as the i...
