In a surprise move Hamas launched a massive rocket attack on 6 October on various Israeli targets in the illegally blockaded Gaza Strip and made incursions through the border wire into nearby Israeli communities such as Sderot. Warmonger Binyamin Netanyahu’s response, blurting out “we are at war”, would have been faintly amusing if the situation […]

Cuba Played a Crucial Role in the Demise of Apartheid While the CIA Helped Uphold It for Decades

Between 1975 and 1991, Cuba embarked on a remarkable internationalist mission known as Operación Carlota. This mission was undertaken to defend Angola’s newly found independence from an invasion by apartheid-era South Africa, and it played a pivotal role in the broader African anti-colonial and national liberation struggles.

Canada’s Envoy to Defend Apartheid gets Israel Medal

On the Use and Misuse of the Term “Jewish Supremacist”

In the recent Globe and Mail commentary “Canada must rethink its friendship with Israel” establishment commentator Thomas Juneau noted that the current hard-right Israeli government “includes Jewish supremacists”. In response Norman Levine tweeted, “the term ‘Jewish supremacists’ borders on antisemitism. […]

Samia Halaby (Palestine), Palestine, from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River, 2003.
