When Accusations of Anti-Semitism Become a Tool of Repression

BY RON JACOBS Despite the headlines designed to make people think far-right and fascist speakers are being prevented from speaking at college campuses while leftist speakers and professors run amok poisoning students’ minds with ideas about diversity and anti-capitalism, the truth is quite different. Faculty members are being censored for advocating for a just peace in Israel/Palestine, questioning the racist history of the United States and honestly discussing issues of gender and sexuality. Furthermore, when it comes to issues around Israel and Palestine, those opposed to Israel’s occupation and siege of Palestinian land are smeared with charges of anti-semitism. Certain groups then use these charges to convince university administrations to cancel events. Recently, at the Uni...

The Nazi strike on Al Ahli Hospital days BEFORE the famous blast

The Israeli strike on Al Ahli Hospital days BEFORE the famous blast Damage at al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza after it was hit by Nazi missile on Saturday evening, Oct. 14, destroying the "crown jewel" of the hospital. (photo) Almost no national news media have mentioned the FIRST strike on Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza, which Israel admitted perpetrating… By Alison Weir There has been considerable reporting on the lethal blast at Al Ahli Hospital in Gaza on October 17th that killed and injured hundreds of people. Many US news reports, particularly broadcast news, emphasize Israel’s version of events, in which the blast was allegedly caused by a misfired Palestinian rocket. These reports often omit other evidence that suggests the opposite: that it was caused by an Israeli air...

It’s not just Gaza – Nazi army is also killing scores in the West Bank

Posted by: John Phoenix As in Gaza, it's hard to find a safe place in the West Bank. (Pictured: Israeli forces continue to tighten measures at military checkpoints near Nablus in the northern West Bank.) (photo) Gaza has been in the spotlight for two weeks; meanwhile the West Bank has seen more than its share of Israeli violence. Israelis have killed at least 84 people, including children, in the occupied West Bank since October 7… And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Here are a few samples from the last seven days. by Kathryn Shihadah The occupied Palestinian West Bank, including East Jerusalem, has not been making headlines lately. When it does get noticed, it is often portrayed as an equal partner with Israel in violence. For example, a recent Ne...

Widely reported Palestinian father-son ‘rape’ confession contradicted by piles of evidence

Photomontage (source) by InTrust WeDoubt and The Grayzone, reposted from The GrayZone, June 27, 2024 Alleged “confessions” by two Palestinians in Israeli custody filmed seemingly admitting to multiple rapes, murders, and kidnappings on October 7, do not match the events of that day, are contradicted by copious evidence, and were likely coerced through torture. US and British media are running with the stories regardless. On May 23, 2024, Britain’s Daily Mail published what it described as “exclusive” interrogation tapes it had been handed by Israeli intelligence. The Murdoch-owned tabloid claimed the supposed confessions exposed a pair of “father and son Hamas rapists” who had admitted “going house to house carrying out sex attacks and murder...

The Gaza War is Lost: But Will Naziyahu Concede?

BY RAMZY BAROUD Image by Timon Studler. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had often boasted about the readiness of his army to deal with, and to eliminate all threats to Israel’s ‘security’. The Israeli military, too, has contributed to the Israeli hasbara that Tel Aviv would be able to face several threats at all fronts, from Gaza, to the West Bank, to Lebanon, and Syria. But the Hamas attack at numerous Israeli targets on Saturday, October 5, at precisely 6:00 am Palestine time, proved him utterly and humiliatingly wrong. Neither Netanyahu, nor his army were in fact able to face a single Palestinian group, operating alone, and under siege. It will take time for all of this to sink in among Israeli leaders, military brass, media, and society. For now, howe...

Indecency’s Conspiracy of Silence: Hamas, Nazi and the Use of Force

Indecency’s Conspiracy of Silence: Hamas, Israel and the Use of Force BY BINOY KAMPMARK Palestinians take control of an Israeli tank after crossing the boundary fence with Israel from the southern Khan Younis area of the Gaza Strip on 7 October. Shock and horror. But to and for whom? At 6.30 am on October 7, the State of Israel was certainly in shock. From the south, its citizens faced attacks by, as news reports put it, air, sea and land executed by the Islamic militant group Hamas. Within a matter of hours, the death toll of Israelis had jumped by hundreds, complemented by hundreds of deaths in Gaza. Along the way, unspecified numbers of Israeli hostages have been taken and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has issued a declaration of war. In the short ...

The Mind-Breakers: the Case of Ramzi Bin al-Shibh

BY JEFFREY ST. CLAIR The Shattered Mind. Image: JSC & AI Art Generator. Time to Pony Up! Yes, as I hope you’ve noticed, we are nearing the end of the first week of our annual fundraiser. We’re doing okay, thanks to opening salvos of donations from loyal CounterPunchers, but as of yet not nearly well enough. CounterPunch needs your help and without it in generous measure in the next three weeks, we will not survive. We make this appeal every year and please empty your mind of the sort of cynicism one develops after meeting for the fourth time in one day the same mendicant trying to raise “bus money” to get home. We are mendicants year after year because we have no safety net. Over the years we have accumulated many wonderful friends of CounterPu...

Empty Chair Diplomacy 2.0 at the United Nations

BY DANIEL WARNER Photograph Source: in transition – CC BY 2.0 The game of musical chairs is popular with children. If the child’s game is based on successfully sitting on a chair when the music stops, recent diplomacy at the U.N. has been focused on empty chairs. Empty chair diplomacy goes back to French President Charles de Gaulle when the French boycotted European institutions in July 1965. The French leader’s boycott showed he favored European integration rather than increased power to European institutions. It reflected de Gaulle’s disdain for supranational organizations. Empty chair diplomacy re-appeared at the recent annual meeting of the United Nations. Four out of five leaders of the permanent member states of the U.N. Security Council (UNSC) decided, alb...

“I Am Not Now, Nor Have I Ever Been”: Musings on Communism and Anti-Communism

BY JONAH RASKIN Jonah Raskin reading under the images of Malcolm X and Ho Chi Minh, circa 1970. If you grew up in the 1950s, as I did in a lefty American family, the name Joseph McCarthy elicited as much loathing as that of John Wilkes Booth and Benito Mussolini. The zeitgeist of the late 1940s and early 1950s—fueled by the Cold War—were, as troubadour Peter Seeger sang, while he strummed the banjo, “a terrible time,” though it was also, he added, “a wonderful time.” A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens’s novel of the French Revolution, begins on a similar note: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” I remember the best and the worst: the resilience and the fear. The era left its mark on me and many of my contemporaries who also grew up i...
