Biden’s Middle East Trip Shows His Disregard For Journalists

BY SAM CARLINER Image by AbsolutVision. Joe Biden is visiting Saudi Arabia and Israel, two countries whose governments have made headlines for murdering journalists. The press in the United States has scrutinized the trip for how it lets the kingdom of Saudi Arabia off the hook for the high profile murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Though Israel has received less scrutiny for its history of targeting journalists, the government recently faced pushback from international media after its military’s targetted assasination of Shireen Abu Akleh, a trailblazing Palestinian journalist for Al Jazeera and an American citizen. This trip demonstrates that while officials of the Biden administration often pay lip service in support of press freedom, they w...

Crédito – @POTUS Mientras que en Estados Unidos la crisis inflacionaria y los ataques a los derechos básicos persisten, Joe Biden viaja al extranjero para enfocarse en reforzar el dominio del país sobre Medio Oriente. Biden comenzó su gira el miércoles con una visita a Israel. En un discurso que dió a su llegada, Biden hizo hincapié en su apoyo ideológico al sionismo, el movimiento político racista que estableció el Estado de Israel en la tierra del pueblo palestino. Usando la justificación religiosa fundamentalista de la expulsión de los palestinos de sus hogares, Biden decl...

Biden began his tour with a visit to Israel, landing on Wednesday. In a speech upon his arrival, Biden went out of his way to emphasize his ideological support for Zionism – the racist political movement that established the state of Israel on the land of the Palestinian people. Echoing the religious fundamentalist justification for the expulsion of Palestinians from their homes, Biden stated, “[Y]ou need not...

Washington Post Promotes New Adversary For Pentagon: The Middle East

BY MELVIN GOODMAN Photograph Source: F Delventhal – CC BY 2.0 For the past year, the news and editorial commentary of the Washington Post has favored a more aggressive posture on the part of the United States and the Pentagon. The Post favors a U.S. naval presence in the Black Sea to break the Russian blockade against Ukraine as well as a more aggressive U.S. posture in the Indo-Pacific to challenge China. The twin notions of challenging Russia and China in their “home waters” conjures up images of daunting challenges that lead to increased defense spending and international tensions. And now the Post has added another adversarial challenge: the Middle East. Last week, a Post front-page article charged that R...

How Kurdish independence underpins ‘Israel’s’ plan to reshape the Middle East

By Jonathan Cook in Nazareth Palestinians and Israelis watched last week’s referendum of Iraq’s Kurds with special interest. Israeli officials and many ordinary Palestinians were delighted – for very different reasons – to see an overwhelming vote to split away from Iraq. Given the backlash from Baghdad and anger from Iran and Turkey, which have restive Kurdish minorities, the creation of a Kurdistan in northern Iraq may not happen soon. Palestinian support for the Kurds is not difficult to understand. Palestinians, too, were overlooked when Britain and France carved up the Middle East into states a century ago. Like the Kurds, Palestinians have found themselves trapped in different territories, oppressed by their overlords. Israel’s complex interests in Kurdish ...

Operation Desert Storm: 25 Years Since the First Gulf War

ALAN TAYLORJANUARY 14, 2016 On January 16, 1991, President George H. W. Bush announced the start of what would be called Operation Desert Storm—a military operation to expel occupying Iraqi forces from Kuwait, which Iraq had invaded and annexed months earlier. For weeks, a U.S.-led coalition of two dozen nations had positioned more than 900,000 troops in the region, most stationed on the Saudi-Iraq border. A U.N.-declared deadline for withdrawal passed on January 15, with no action from Iraq, so coalition forces began a five-week bombardment of Iraqi command and control targets from air and sea. Despite widespread fears that Iraqi President Saddam Hussein might order the use of chemical weapons, a ground invasion followed in February. Coalition forces swiftly drove Iraq from Kuwait, ad...

From Mosul to Raqqa to Mariupol, Killing Civilians is a Crime

BY MEDEA BENJAMIN - NICOLAS J. S. DAVIES Photograph Source: Sgt. Curtis G. Hargrave, U.S. Army – Public Domain Americans have been shocked by the death and destruction of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, filling our screens with bombed buildings and dead bodies lying in the street. But the United States and its allies have waged war in country after country for decades, carving swathes of destruction through cities, towns and villages on a far greater scale than has so far disfigured Ukraine. As we recently reported, the U.S. and its allies have dropped over 337,000 bombs and missiles, or 46 per day, on nine countries since 2001 alone. Senior U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency officers told Newsweek that the first 24 days of Russia’s bombing of Ukraine was...
