U.S. Media’s Doublespeak: “Israelis” Live in “Densely Populated Areas,” Palestinians Are “Human Shields”

( Photo: Omar El-Qattaa/AFP via Getty Images) The Western media’s double standards when it comes to Israel and Palestine are hardly new. The discourse around “human shields” — or the failure to use the term — is an example of hypocrisy pushed to the extreme, by letting Israel deflect the blame for mass civilian deaths. By Ahmad Wuhidi, Reposted from The Intercept Recently, CNN reported that Israeli civilians in parts of Tel Aviv were in the potential line of fire from an Iranian missile attack aimed at the headquarters o...

The imperialist debt trap

Posted by: John Phoenix It is to a considerable extent through debt that imperialism exploits and oppresses the countries of the Third World. Purchase and control of critical assets such as mines, land, and major businesses, also facilitates imperialist looting. Chapter 13 of Harpal Brar’s book Imperialism – decadent, parasitic, moribund capitalism focused on debt and gave the truly astounding statistics regarding this debt as it was in 1997 when his book was published 28 years ago. What has been happening in the meantime? In 1994, third world debt stood at $1.7 trillion, the equivalent of $3.7 trillion today. As of 2024, public debt in developing countries stood at approximately $31 trillion! This accounts for nearly a third of global publi...

Nazi’s top court says government is not giving Palestinian prisoners enough food

Posted by: John Phoenix contact@ifamericansknew.org Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir (C) in Kiryat Malachi, Israel on February 16, 2024 (Mostafa Alkharouf/Anadolu Agency) Justices rule state is legally obliged to ensure ‘basic level of existence’ and orders authorities to improve nutrition Reposted from The Guardian, September 07, 2025 Israel’s supreme court has ruled that the government has failed to provide Palestinian security prisoners with adequate food for basic subsistence and ordered authorities to improve their nutrition. The September 07 decision was a rare case in which the country’s highest court ruled against the government’s conduct during the nearly two-year war. Since the war began, Israel has seized thousands of ...

IRAN – IT’S WAR ! Operation True Promise 4 is under way

Posted by: John Phoenix STOP PRESS The threatened US/Israeli attack against Iran finally began on 28 February, just as LALKAR was prepared to go to press. Explosions took place in central, northern and eastern Tehran, as well as in Isfahan, Sahand, Karaj, Qom, Kermanshah, Khomein, Dezful, Kharg Island and Minab. In Minab, two primary schools full of little girls were bombed, leaving over 140 dead. Iranian President, the 86-year old Ali Hosseini Khamenei has been killed, along with members of his family. US President Trump boasted: “The United States military is undertaking a massive and ongoing operation to prevent this very wicked, radical dictatorship from threatening America and our core national security interests. We are going to destroy their missi...

OBITUARY – Hassan Nasrallah

Posted by: John Phoenix The whole of progressive humanity is mourning the death of Hassan Nasrallah, a brilliant and intrepid fighter against imperialism, who led the organisation of which he was General Secretary – Hezbollah – as it stood indomitable and often alone in the Arab world in mounting armed resistance to Israel, the racist colonial state imposed and maintained by Western imperialism on the Middle East. A deeply religious Shia Muslim, Nasrallah first came into politics to struggle against the marginalisation of the Shia community in Lebanon. In the Lebanese civil war between Christian Maronites and Muslims, he joined and fought with Amal (the Movement of the Deprived) that had been founded in 1974 by his mentor Sadr. In 1982 Israel invaded Lebanon with a view t...

OBITUARY – Yahya Sinwar

Posted by: John Phoenix By Scott Ritter, reproduced with thanks Yahya Sinwar was killed fighting Israeli soldiers in the ruins of Gaza. His death will serve as an inspiration for Palestinians for years to come. If there is to be a free and independent Palestine, it will be because of the sacrifice made by Yahya Sinwar in the cause of its creation. He is the true father of Palestine. He was a child of the camps, born into captivity in the Gazan Khan Younis refugee camp, the son of Palestinian citizens of Majdal ‘Asqalan (present-day Ashkelon) who were forcibly driven from their homes by Israeli forces in 1948 in what is referred to as the Nakba, or catastrophe. He was one of the first to join Hamas when it broke away from the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood...

OBITUARY- Ismail Haniyeh (1963-2024)

Posted by: John Phoenix On 31 July 2024 Ismail Haniyeh, the leader of Hamas, was murdered, along with one of his bodyguards, by Israel by means of a 2 a.m. “airborne guided projectile” strike on a special residence for military veterans in the north of Tehran where he was staying during the inauguration of Iran’s President Pezeshkian. Haniyeh’s whole life had been dedicated to the struggle of the Palestinian people against the injustice of having their land stolen from them, robbing the vast majority of them also from the life opportunities that they might otherwise have expected to have had. He himself was a son of Palestinians driven out from their home in the coastal city of Ashkelon, in what is now Israel, during the Arab-Israeli war of 1948. He was born 1...

Á la carte capitalism

Posted by: John Phoenix France’s latest budget drama exposes once again the fantasy at the heart of modern bourgeois rule: the idea that capitalism can be managed à la carte, with its benefits retained and its consequences selectively discarded. Western imperial duplicity and contradiction was perfectly exemplified recently when Donald Trump lauded the pirating of a Venezuelan oil tanker by US forces but paradoxically decried Iranian forces when Iran seized oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz back in 2020. Trump publicly criticised Tehran’s behaviour as destabilising and harmful to global shipping, framing it as evidence of Iran being “nothing but trouble.” Similarly, when France’s Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, declared on December 9 that “making compromise...

Trump’s National Security Strategy, a blueprint for hegemony

Posted by: John Phoenix Author: Carlos Martinez The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy (NSS), released in late November, has inspired widespread comment and a diverse array of interpretations. The most striking feature of the document is its explicit re-assertion of the Monroe Doctrine, shifting the focus of US military strategy towards “defending our hemisphere”, with “more troops, bases and military operations” in the Americas. Hegemony over the Western Hemisphere is of course a constant of US foreign policy, but previous administrations have at least made some pretence at multilateralism and respect for international law. The NSS does away with any such niceties: “After years of neglect, the United States will reassert and enforce the Monroe Doctr...

The Media Calls Nazi Captives “Hostages” and Palestinians “Prisoners”

Posted by: John Phoenix contact@ifamericansknew.org American-Israeli hostage Edan Alexander reunities his family at Sourasky (Ichilov) Medical Center after Palestinian resistance group Hamas released him by handing over to Red Cross delegation in Tel Aviv, Israel on May 13, 2025. ([Israeli Presidency / Handout – Anadolu Agency]) Although Edan Alexander was a soldier captured at a military outpost, U.S. news outlets rarely described him as a prisoner of war. By Jonah Valdez, Reposted from The Intercept, May 13, 2025 There are several ways to describe someone held against their will, each with its own implications. The word “prisoner” suggests someone detained on suspicion of crimes or captured during times of war. “Hostage,” on the other hand, signifies ...
