Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah: The Man Who Defeated Israel

ISRAEL assassinated Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (1960-2024) because he refused to stop the attacks on northern Israel until the Israelis ended the genocide against the Palestinians. During the brief Israeli ceasefire, Nasrallah’s organisation –Hezbollah – paused their attacks also. When the Israelis resumed fighting, so did Hezbollah.Nasrallah was killed because he was unrelenting in his support for Palestine.

War on Lebanon: Conquering Palestine Not Enough for Netanyahu

PULVERISING Gaza, emptying the Strip of its people, bombing the West Bank, and expanding illegal annexations of land there – none of that is enough for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his genocidal drive to build “Greater Israel.” Lebanon, too, it seems, must be parceled up and pieces of it brought under Tel Aviv’s control.Since the war on Gaza was launched by Israel following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attacks, Lebanon has been a secondary theater of combat, with periodic bombing runs by Israel and rocket launches from Iran-backed Hezbollah militants on the other side of the b

The Global South Opposes the War in Ukraine

SINCE the Russian military entered Ukraine, there have been six United Nations General Assembly resolutions about the ensuing war (ES-11/1 to ES-11/6). The voting record of the Global South countries, particularly the 54 African states, on these resolutions is notable. In only one resolution, which was about the referendum held in Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia oblasts (ES-11/4), did most African states (thirty of them) vote against Russia, with 24 states abstaining (none voted for the legality of the Russian referendum).

Fascism in Practice: The Israeli Police Decides to Close Down the Headquarters of the Communist Party in Haifa

ISRAEL and Ben Gvir's police have just decided to shut the headquarters of the Communist Party in Haifa for ten hours starting at 19:00 this evening (August 26, 2024). 

Earlier, the police summoned Comrade Reem Hazan for the second time this afternoon and conducted an investigation with her and decided to close the party's headquarters in order to prevent the screening of Muhammad Bakri's new film "Janein Jenin" and the launching of an activity against the aggressive war on Gaza.

Can Europe Break Out of the NATO War in Ukraine?

THERE need not have been a war in Ukraine. The Russian government had made it clear almost two decades ago that it would not tolerate the expansion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) eastward. In 1990, before the fall of the USSR and when the two parts of Germany had negotiated their unification, it had been made clear to the Soviets that NATO would not go beyond the eastern border of Germany. After the fall of the USSR in 1991, NATO violated that agreement and began to absorb states along the border of Russia.

Gaza Ceasefire Talks: Why Palestinians Question Recent US Proposal

The diplomatic efforts of US and Israel stand in sharp contradiction with Israel’s genocidal military operations on the ground, backed by the US.US secretary of state Antony Blinken stopped in Egypt on Tuesday, August 20, one day after visiting Tel Aviv as part of a tour in the West Asia region to continue intensive diplomatic efforts to achieve a Gaza ceasefire and prisoners-for captives swap deal.

Benjamin Netanyahu Does Not Respond to ‘Tough Talk’

Benjamin Netanyahu is back in command of Israeli politics. He and his coalition are now polling close to where they were before the war began. They don’t yet hold a majority, but they are positioned to prevent an alternative coalition in case of elections. Bibi’s partners, religious fundamentalist settlers such as Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, as well as ultra-orthodox parties and his Likud backbenchers, are firmly united behind his insistence to prolong the war.

Every Place in Gaza, Including Schools, is a Target

IT is almost as if the Israeli army is trying to gather as many Palestinians as possible in one place and then kill them all. Ahmed Abed and his family fled the Dalal al-Maghribi school in early August after an Israeli airstrike displaced them. That airstrike killed 15 Palestinians, who had taken refuge there after Israel had bombed their homes in the Shujaiyah neighbourhood of Gaza City. The family arrived in the al-Taba’een school, a private school with an attached mosque, that sheltered 2,500 people.
