Flashback: The Night of the Broken Clubs

CONTACT@IFAMERICANSKNEW.ORG IDF soldiers beating ambulance workers during the first Palestinian intifada (photo) …And then the soldiers carried out the orders they had been given: To break both arms and both legs by clubbing the Arabs… By Yossi Safid (translated by Dr. Israel Shahak) July 1989, Page 39a, reposted from Washington Report on Middle East Affairs …I am withholding the names and a few other identifying details, but the rest is presented in full and accurately. It could happen to almost anyone. In the second month of the intifada, at the end of January 1988, Captain A., a support-company commander in a well-known battalion, was summoned to his commander, a lieutenant colonel. The lieutenant colonel gave the captain clear instructions to carry out ar...

UK tour: “Rabbi on the Road” – Beyond ‘Israel’

Pete Gregson, Chair, Campaign Against Bogus Antisemitism, writes: As an apartheid state, Israel has no right to exist. No state that declares one ethnicity is superior to another has a right to exist. But what will we put in its place, in our search for a new Palestine? It’s something that needs discussing; two-state versus one-state is key to any future peace. And who better to posit plans but an Arab and a Jew? So, I am looking for support for our “Rabbi on the Road” UK tour, which we are planning for the first two weeks of September. I am bringing anti-Zionist Rabbi Dovid Weiss (pictured above) over from New York to address the theme of a world beyond Israel. Author and Broadcaster Dr Azzam Tamimi will join him. There is more information about the tour and the spea...

Listen – Libya: The curse of the militias

Mohamed El-Doufani* writes: Libyan activist and popular rapper Assem Mihirig shares with us a deeply insightful analysis, derived from direct experience, of the workings and power of the militias blighting Libya and the thinking of their leaders, and offers a view of how they can be dealt with. They were hailed as heroes while they were fighting Muammar Gaddafi’s forces in 2011. But not all was as it seemed. From the outset Gaddafi had blamed the Islamists for the protests against his regime. Although he was right, by that time he had become an embarrassing eccentric and the butt of jokes the world over, and few people took him seriously. The first foreign voice to raise the alarm was Admiral James Stavridis, the American commander of NATO, who in March 20...

Listen – Libya in chaos: What prospects are there for peace, democracy and stability?

Mohamed El-Doufani* writes: Libyan diplomat and writer Giuma Bukleb looks at how the legacy of chaos and the political vacuum seeded by the regime of deposed Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi, coupled with Libya’s geostrategic location and its oil wealth, turned the country into “a battleground for competing local and foreign interests” and “led to the emergence of new opportunistic political elites lacking the necessary qualifications and tools, helped by militias”. “The way out,” he argues, “is not impossible if the international community paid Libya the necessary attention and provided the desperately needed help, by forcing the competing foreign interests to withdraw, and by disarming the militias.” [Introduction by Mohamed El-Doufni, episode host:] Few people expected...

Listen – Iran: Between conflict and stagnation

Mohamed El-Doufani writes: It’s hard to recall the last time we heard good news from Iran. But recent developments indicate that the country has entered a new stage in its struggle with itself, its neighbours and beyond. The assassination of Iranian scientists and engineers, the sabotage of Iranian industrial installations — both widely accepted to be the work of Israel — and street protests bode ill for the country’s stability. Meanwhile, efforts to revive the nuclear deal have taken a giant step backwards, making the prospect of lifting crippling sanctions imposed by the United States even more distant. In this episode of Five Minutes to Midnight, Iranian analyst Behrouz Turani discusses the current status of talks to revive the ...

The free speech dilemma: Talk of Pennsylvania being “an explicitly Christian state”

Lawrence Davidson writes: “An explicitly Christian state” There was an interesting bit of news reported on 21 June 2022 in the regional section of the Philadelphia Inquirer. (For some reason the Inquirer piece is not available on the internet. I here refer the reader to a similar report in a local paper, The Patch, in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It is entitled “Talk by Christian nationalists brings a backlash”. As the location tells us, it was not front page news – but it should have been.) Here is a synopsis of the story. Michael Price, co-owner of the Tied House restaurant in Philadelphia, agreed to allow two friends to use the restaurant premises for a “discussion” on “whether Pennsylvania should be an explicitly Christian state”. There was an immediate back...

What did Hamas and Fatah think of Biden’s visit?

“It underlines America’s continuing support for the illegal occupation and provides further cover for Israel’s crimes against humanity, including the Judaisation of the Palestinian homeland and Islamic and Christian sanctities.” (Hamas) By Stuart Littlewood Last year Priti Patel, UK Home Secretary, outlawed Hamas in its entirety, branding it a terrorist organisation and threatening that “members of Hamas or those who invite support for the group could be jailed for up to 14 years”. Previously, Hamas’s militant wing (the Izz-al-Din al-Qassam Brigades) was proscribed, not its political wing. So the British government, which has been largely responsible for the devastating events in the Holy Land for the last 100 years and fancies itself as an expert on peace initiatives, n...

We are One Species

BY WES JACKSON – ROBERT JENSEN Homeless camp and salmon mural under Morrison Bridge, Portland, Oregon. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. The world is a mess, in both social and ecological terms, mired in unjust and unsustainable systems. Responsibility for this condition is not shared equally. Powerful nations define world politics that has produced dramatic wealth inequality, and rich nations contribute more to global warming and ecosystem collapse. But along with efforts to change those conditions and address the crises today, we should reflect on how we got here. How did one species end up so fractured? First, it should be uncontroversial to assert the antiracist principle, anchored in basic biology, that we are one species. There are observable differences in such things as skin ...

The Enduring Tyranny of Oil

BY MICHAEL T. KLARE Refineries, Ashland, Kentucky. Photo: Jeffrey St. Clair. It may seem hard to believe, but only 15 years ago many of us were talking confidently about “peak oil” — the moment of maximum global oil output after which, with world reserves dwindling, its use would begin an irreversible decline. Then along came hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, and the very notion of peak oil largely vanished. Instead, some analysts began speaking of “peak oil demand” — a moment, not so far away, when electric vehicle (EV) ownership would be so widespread that the need for petroleum would largely disappear, even if there was still plenty of it to frack or drill. However, in 2020, EVs made up less than 1% of the global light-vehicle fleet and are only expe...

Biden Should Remove Cuba from the Infamous State Sponsors of Terrorism List

BY MEDEA BENJAMIN - NATASHA LYCIA ORA BANNAN Revolution Square, Havana. Photo by Medea Benjamin. As the Cuban government celebrates the July 26 Day of the National Rebellion–a public holiday commemorating the 1953 attack on the Moncada Barracks that is considered the precursor to the 1959 revolution–U.S. groups are calling on the Biden administration to stop its cruel sanctions that are creating such hardship for the Cuban people. In particular, they are pushing President Biden to take Cuba off the list of state sponsors of terrorism. Being on this list subjects Cuba to a series of devastating international financial restrictions. It is illegal for U.S. banks to process transactions to Cuba, but U.S. sanctions also have an unlawful extraterritorial reach.&...
