‘Painful March for Freedom’: The Triumphant Legacy of Palestinian Prisoners

A rally in solidarity with Palestinian administrative prisoners Khalil Awawdeh. (Photo: Mahmoud Ajjour, The Palestine Chronicle) By Ramzy Baroud www.ramzybaroud.net “As soon as I left prison, I went to Nael’s grave. It is adorned with the colors of the Palestinian flag and verses from the Holy Quran. I told my little brother how much I loved and appreciated him, and that, one day, we would meet again in paradise.” The above is part of a testimony given to me by a former Palestinian prisoner, Jalal Lutfi Saqr. It was published two years ago in the volume ‘These Chains Will Be Broken’. As a Palestinian, born and raised in a refugee camp in Gaza, I was always familiar with the political discourse of, and concerning, political prisoners. My neighborhood...

Credit: @SecBlinken Secretary of State Antony Blinken is in Kiev on a surprise visit with a clear mission: Make the spiraling crisis even worse. Arriving this morning, Blinken met with the Ukrainian president Zelenskyy and vowed that U.S. backing for his country’s war effort will continue “for as long as it takes.” Coinciding with the visit, the Biden administration announced two new packages of weapons shipments together totaling $2.9 billion. One component amounting to nearly $700 million was announced by Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin, who is today on a seperate trip to a U.S. airbase in nearby Ge...

Energy crisis shows urgent need to end sanctions on Russia

PSL Editorial – Energy crisis shows urgent need to end sanctions on Russia Liberation Staff Download PDF flyer The energy crisis causing havoc in Europe and threatening to radiate throughout the global economy is an emergency of western governments’ own making. Workers are now paying the price for politicians’ extraordinarily reckless approach to the war in Ukraine, facing soaring heating costs as the winter months approach amid an already-extreme wave of inflation. Energy prices spiked an astonishing 30 percent on Monday when Russia announced that what had been a temporary pause in flows from the crucial Nord Stream 1 gas pipeline would be indefinite. The Russian government explained that it was no longer tenable to continue these exports as long as the European coun...

Poking the Russian Bear: Crude British propaganda at play

UK government minister ducks straight questions, serves up propaganda swill instead Stuart Littlewood writes: After five weeks I’ve finally received a reply (of sorts) to a letter to my MP which began: “Have I missed something, or is our government investing billions of pounds of our money in a belligerent campaign against the world’s largest country – and in the process putting us all in harm’s way – without even a vote in Parliament?”FCDO-reply-to-Alister-Jack-re-Ukraine I say a reply “of sorts” because it ducks the questions and just regurgitates the Foreign Office’s pro forma propaganda. It comes from Graham Stuart (pictured above), who was minister of state for Europe when he signed it on 5 September. He’s now something else – climate supremo, I believe – ...

Listen – ‘Israel’: Only “severe sanctions” will bring about change – Miko Peled

Mohamed El-Doufani writes: Israeli writer and human rights campaigner Miko Peled describes how Israeli Jews are knowingly ignorant of and indifferent towards the Palestinian people, their plight and the injustice committed against them. With rampant racism characterising most Israelis’ attitudes towards the Palestinian people, he says Israeli recognition of the need for justice for the Palestinians can be brought about only “by bringing Israeli society to their knees, like was done with white South African society… through severe sanctions, closure of all diplomatic missions, ending all trade and all commerce”, and making sure that Israel does not participate in any international sports, academic or cultural events. https://embeds.audioboom.com/posts/8154281/embed/v4 ...

The Covid Debacle Rolls On

BY EVE OTTENBERG Photo by Nick Fewings Americans still die of covid, at least 400 to 500 per day. The Centers for Disease Control tells us exposure no longer requires quarantine, and for the public generally, everyone’s so done with masks. That’s the state of the disease for us proles – do nothing to prevent catching it, while hoping, irrationally, that you won’t. Things are quite different at higher media and political altitudes. Though proconsuls featured in his news empire have been known to belittle the covid shot, reactionary mogul Rupert Murdoch has always, reportedly, been quite cautious about the disease, with underlings allegedly vaxxed and masked, before contact with him. The same holds true in the presidential aerie. Indeed, throughout most of Biden’s rule, anyon...

Brazil, Amazon, World: Ballots and Bullets

BY JEAN WYLLYS – JULIE WARK Photo by Nathalia Segato Less than a month before the general election on 2 October, it seems that things aren’t going well for incumbent president Jair Messías Bolsonaro. To begin with, former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is retaining a strong lead (44% versus 33% on 31 August). And cards that have been waiting up sleeves are now being played. Yet with close inspection, they reveal more about old systemic problems of Brazilian politics and also global issues than about the present chances of the man who bragged, “Anything can happen”. On 1 September the Permanent People’s Tribunal (PPT) convicted Bolsonaro of crimes against humanity for COVID-19 (anti-)policies that led to the deaths of at least 100,000 people (in fact, ...

The Case Against Nuclear Power: A Primer

BY JOSHUA FRANK Image by Vladyslav Cherkasenko. A version of the following was presented at Socialism 2022, sponsored by Haymarket Books, which is publishing Joshua Frank’s forthcoming Atomic Days: The Untold Story of the Most Toxic Place in America, available October 11. *** Thanks everyone for showing up for this talk. I think it’s a vitally important topic, but I’ll admit, it’s a bit disheartening that it’s now a subject of debate on the Left. I’ve long believed that we ought to build on the successes that came before us, not tear them down. Sadly, with the wrath of climate change impacting every corner of the earth, that is exactly what some are attempting to do. Last week a friend sent me an NPR story, “When Even Environmentalists Support Nuclear Power.” ...

The “War on Terror” at 20+ Years: A Retrospective

BY ANTHONY DIMAGGIO Image by Aidan Bartos. September 2021 marked the twentieth anniversary of the “War on Terror.” As the war turned 20, the U.S. under the Biden administration initiated a withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, prompting howls of concern and outrage from journalists, pundits, and his political critics in government. The alarm among intellectuals is something I wrote about at length at the time. The U.S. finds itself in a strange place in 2022. U.S. officials never declared an end to the “War on Terror,” although the wars of the George W. Bush years in Afghanistan and Iraq gradually faded into memory. While the rhetoric of “anti-terrorism” is not what it once was in the heyday of U.S. wars fought during the 2000s, to say that the threat of ...

The Road to Fascism: How the War in Ukraine is Changing Europe

BY RAMZY BAROUD Photograph info: Benito Mussolini with three of the four quadrumvirs during the March on Rome – Public Domain As soon as I landed in Rome, I discovered that I was no longer able to access any Russian media whatsoever. Unfortunately, threats by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, that Europe should sever all links with “Russia’s propaganda machine” were taken seriously by the Italian government. As a journalist, having access to only one side of the Russia-Ukraine war story was a major predicament. How is one to develop a rounded view of such a complex issue when only a one-sided narrative of the war is allowed to be propagated? Of course, the problem is widespread, and has afflicted much of ‘democratic’ Europe. The continent that h...
