This forced the fascist-leaning Senators to go on record with their complete indifference to the mass murder of Palestinians.        Invoking an obscure provision in the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, Bernie tried to force a State Dept analysis of human rights violations by Israel. The Zionists hold enormous sway in Congress.Senate votes against Sanders resolution to forc ...Continue Reading

80% of the most catastrophic hunger on Earth right now is in Gaza!

January 13th 2024 MST

"But let me now give you one other statistic, which maybe could be helpful. If you look globally, worldwide, right now, there are about a hundred and twenty-nine thousand people who are in I.P.C. Phase 5, meaning a catastrophic type of hunger. A hundred and twenty-nine thousand. In Gaza, there are five hundred and seventy-seven thousand. If you add these two numbers together, you can say that you have about seven hundred thousand people in the world who are in I.P.C. Phase 5, of which five hundred and seventy-seve ...Continue Reading

Norman Finkelstein believes no emergency protection order will be issued on South Africa's ICJ case

January 8th 2024 MST

Norman Finkelstein is a renowned Holocaust scholar and international politics expert. He is very courageous and has lost academic positions because of his support of Palestine.    His analysis of what will happen this week at the International Court of Justice on South Africa's petition to get a court ordered ceasefire to stop the Israeli genocide in Gaza is pessimistic.   The Court has 15 judges, selected from the five UN Security Council countries, plus 10 more countries.   India, Ru ...Continue Reading
