Simon Elmer This is the second part of a two-part article. Part 1, featuring questions 1-5 was published here yesterday, and we would recommend reading it before continuing with Part 2. 6. What is Collective Punishment? Those who dare to accuse our soldiers of war crimes are people imbued with hypocrisy and lies, who do …
Simon Elmer I and the public know What all schoolchildren learn, Those to whom evil is done Do evil in return. W. H. Auden Here are ten questions everyone should try to answer before adding their unconditional or qualified support to the genocide being perpetrated in Gaza, and which UK politicians, journalists and Zionists have …
Christine E. Black Censorship imperils cultures and civilization. When governments and elites prohibit speaking or writing without threats, shaming, or epithets meant to shut down discussion, free thinking dies. People also die. A censorship industrial complex grew around Covid hysteria, which began as a war on a virus. New full-blown wars, with guns, bombs, tanks, …
Sylvia Shawcross The rains of November are cold but the snows of November are colder. It is said that an entire generation of young men from the Ukraine are gone now. They have died in the war. Now, I thought the war in the Ukraine was the “War for Civilization Itself.” We sent them tons …
