Read Samanth Subramanian's powerful words on @globalvoices.org about Israel's latest journalist massacre & the murder of Anas al-Sharif, one more war crime to be added to an endless list of depraved genocidal violence, and the complicity of Western journalism: globalvoices.org/2025/08/12/t...

The killing of Anas al-Sharif and Western journalism’s moral collapse

The West defends press freedom — unless the journalist is brown, Palestinian, and reports for an Arab outlet.

The bodies of 15 Palestinian paramedics were found in Gaza, executed with their hands tied — a chilling symbol of Israel’s systematic attacks on healthcare workers during its war on Gaza. My latest on @untoldmag.org untoldmag.org/across-war-z... 1/6

Across War Zones, Targeting Healthcare has Become a Strategy, not an Accident - Untold

Deliberate attacks on healthcare are becoming a hallmark of modern warfare — and a test of international law

My latest on @globalvoices.org On world health day, remember that deliberate attacks on healthcare are becoming a hallmark of modern warfare — and a test of Itl law. Nowhere has this been more devastating than in Israel's systematic targeting of Gaza's healthcare globalvoices.org/2025/04/07/a...

Across war zones, targeting healthcare has become a strategy, not an accident

Attacks on healthcare are escalating. From bombed hospitals, targeted ambulances, to abducted doctors, a global pattern of impunity is threatening the lives of millions.

Had the pleasure of interviewing Joseph Daher on what his case of repression and dismissal means for academic freedom and how we can resist the global trend of suppressing scholars, journalists, and activists who speak out on Palestine

“We are witnessing neoliberal authoritarianism,” Joseph Daher explains, as institutions prioritize political expediency over fundamental rights. “Academia is a battleground, and repression is growing.” Read this ITV conducted by @walidhouri.bsky.social

My latest on @globalvoices.org From Syria to Gaza, and Lebanon, Israel's military aggression is breaching itl agreements, laws, and limits with no repercussions Normalized by western allies and Arab complicity, they are threatening the relevance of itl law worldwide globalvoices.org/2025/02/27/i...

Israel escalates strikes in Syria amid post-Assad transition: A pattern of regional expansion

As Syria rebuilds post-Assad, Israel launches more attacks, disrupting the national dialogue and asserting control over southern Syria as part of a regional escalation.

Many of the things that were obvious to many long before Trump, are now out in the open: The lack of freedom of expression in US media, the US destructive role in the world and support for brutal regimes, or the US' complete subservience to big corporations, and many more to go

On his 1st day as likely future chancellor of Germany, Merz calls Netanyahu, wanted for war crimes by the ICC to tell him that he will continue to trample on International Law while posturing about how law abiding German society is (except for trivial things like international law and genocide)

Summary of the German election results: the parties that celebrated, supported, armed, and defended the genocide and terrorized immigrants, lost to the parties that want to be even more involved in the genocide while also mass deporting immigrants. And FYI, there is nothing left in the 'Left' party

WANA trade relations shifted in 25 years with China becoming the dominant trade partner, while US influence is increasingly backed by military force. With Trump's latest threats, which countries are still dependent on the US? My latest for @globalvoices.org globalvoices.org/2025/02/14/t...

Trade wars and military threats: The battle for economic influence in WANA

As China cements its role as WANA’s top trading partner, US military dominance — unchecked by international law — poses a counterbalance, threatening the region’s future.

We are at a moment in history - once again - where a head of state can declare his intention of taking the land and homes of an indigenous population, ethnically cleanse it, mass murder them or send them into reservations or whatever, and turn it into a resort for another people.
