What Naziyahu’s new ‘hate machine’ has in store for Palestinians in 2023

What Netanyahu’s new ‘hate machine’ has in store for Palestinians in 2023 It plans to create “a state designed for one group alone and built on the conquest and dispossession of others”, putting the very existence of Palestinians in immediate peril By Stuart Littlewood Wishing my friends in Palestine a happy New Year sounded so phoney, knowing how the fates have conspired to make 2023 perhaps the worst yet as their homeland continues to be cruelly occupied, plundered and stolen by sick-minded foreign thugs while the equally sick-minded members of the international community twiddle their thumbs. How disgraceful that native Palestinians are faced with yet another lunatic occupying government cobbled together by Binyamin Netanyahu [real name: Benjamin Mileikowsky] and t...

Noam Chomsky: Another World Is Possible. Let’s Bring It to Reality

Labor and other popular activism can help shape the economic system in ways that will benefit people, not private power.By C.J. Polychroniou ,  TRUTHOUT A demonstrator holds a sign reading "Stop Climate Meltdown" during a climate strike on November 18, 2022, in Warsaw, Poland. It’s a truism that the world is in a dismal state; indeed, there are too many great challenges facing our world and the planet is in fact at a breaking point, as Noam Chomsky elaborates on an exclusive interview below for Truthout. What’s less widely recognized is that another world is possible because the present one is simply not sustainable, says one of the world’s greatest public intellectuals. Chomsky is institute professor emeritus in the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy at MIT and lau...

Ilan Pappe on the Socio-Political Formations behind ‘Israel’s’ Neo-Zionist Government

A cabinet meeting of the new Israeli government. (Photo: Prime Minister of Israel's TW Page) By Ilan Pappe Two months after the election of the new government of Israel, the blurred picture is becoming more transparent, and it seems one can offer some more informed insights about its composition, personalities, and possible future policies and reaction to them. It would not be an exaggeration to define Benjamin Netanyahu as the least extreme member of this government, which tells you about the personalities and policies of all the others.   There are three major groups in the government, and I am not referring here to various political parties, but rather to socio-political formations. Zionization of Ultra-Orthodox Jews In the first group are the ultra...

Agroindustry Lobby Is Using the Ukraine War to Push Unsustainable Farming Policy

Warfare killed pollinators and threatened food security in World War II. It’s happening again in Ukraine. By Dave Goulson , TRUTHOUT A bumblebee flies to a row of poppies illuminated by the morning sun on June 6, 2022, in Hessen, Germany. During World War II, Hitler’s campaign of violence had disastrous consequences not only for the millions of civilians and soldiers who were killed, but also for the environment itself — driving the declines of bumblebees and other wildlife in the U.K. and continental Europe. Now, it seems that Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine might have a similar effect, sparking a drive to increase food production, and in so doing, accelerating the biodiversity and climate crises. Because Britain was isolated during World War II, importing food from Europe be...
