The Defeat of Israel and the Rebirth of Palestinian Agency
For decades, the prevailing notion was that the ‘solution’ to the Israeli occupation of Palestine lay in a strictly negotiated process. “Only dialogue can achieve peace” has been the relentlessly peddled mantra in political circles, academic platforms, media forums, and the like. A colossal industry burgeoned around that idea, expanding dramatically in the lead-up to, […]2025-10-13 | Uncategorized

Activists reflect on two years of horrific Israeli war on Gaza
"Two years into Israel's devastating assault on Gaza, the genocide continues with no clear end in sight," Mutahir Ahmed, ICJP's Head of Lega, said to The New Arab.

Truthfully, it wasn’t just the memorial; the weeks since Kirk’s assassination have felt like the death of Comrade MAGA. Multiple people have been punished for benign remarks about Kirk.

Bret Stephens Is Wrong About Mortality in Gaza
The New York Times columnist Bret Stephens recently claimed that Israel is “manifestly not committing genocide”.
