When Israel began its war on Gaza, it initially felt pressure to deny responsibility for attacks on hospitals and refugee camps. A year of unflinching support from the US has convinced Benjamin Netanyahu that he no longer has any such need to pretend.
Israel has made no secret of it: it has embarked on a genocidal plan to “create conditions where life in Gaza becomes unsustainable.” And Joe Biden is its accomplice.
After October 7, Israel embarked on an unprecedented massacre. The new book 10/7 — with an afterword by novelist Joshua Cohen — longs for the moment when it was Israel that had the world’s sympathy.
The most pressing menace from artificial intelligence is not a sci-fi scenario where machines take over from human beings. It’s the use of AI as a tool to carry out atrocities that are 100% man-made — something we can see playing out right now in Gaza.
Whatever restraints once existed on Israel’s behavior are long gone. Benjamin Netanyahu is now setting his sights on Iran — the question is to what extent President Donald Trump will back him.
A decade ago today, Israel launched “Operation Cast Lead” against the Gaza Strip. The military campaign took the lives of some 1,400 Palestinians, including more than three hundred children.
As the Israeli military uses ever more violence against Gaza’s civilian population, there have been massive demonstrations calling for a cease-fire. The protesters are taking a stand for basic human solidarity against the moral bankruptcy of Western leaders.
The United States government regularly decries authoritarian press crackdowns around the world. Yet that same government gives billions to Israel as it makes no attempt to hide its policy of killing journalists.
To maintain his hold on power, Benjamin Netanyahu is pursuing a brutal forever war against Palestinians. But the costs aren’t just in human lives: Israel’s economy may not be able to sustain this war.
The US government is not just arming a country that kills Americans with impunity — it's lying on Israel's behalf so it can escape blame for those murders. Why is this allowed to continue?
The only way to stop a bloody and electorally disastrous regional war in the Middle East is for President Joe Biden to do the one thing he wants to avoid: cut off military aid to Israel.
Israel has no scruples about wantonly slaughtering health care providers like Gazan hospital director Dr Hussam Abu Safiyeh. What kind of country declares war on health professionals?
Over the last 15 months, more than 100,000 Palestinians have escaped to Egypt. They pay thousands of dollars a head to escape the Gaza Strip — but upon reaching Cairo face a future without jobs, rights, or even the ability to leave.
Benjamin Netanyahu won reelection by outflanking Israel’s far right. If you listen closely, you can hear the rumble of fascism approaching.
Meir Shamgar, former chief justice of Israel’s Supreme Court, died last month. A founding father of Israel’s legal system, he used judicial subterfuge to give legal cover to the illegal occupation of Palestinian lands.
In an interview, UN special rapporteur Francesca Albanese explains how Israel is systematically erasing Palestinian life from Gaza.
Israeli state propaganda has found a home in the paper of record.
Accusations of antisemitism are regularly used to silence advocacy of Palestinian liberation. Here, a British academic describes how Zionists smeared her as an antisemite and tried to get her fired for her public criticism of the Israeli occupation.
In the West Bank, violent settlers try to drive out the Palestinian population, under the watchful eye of IDF troops. This is an apartheid system, and there can be no peace in Palestine until it is dismantled.
The tragic scenes unfolding in Palestine and Israel are a chilling reminder of the horrors that occupation creates — and the urgency of dismantling Israel’s blockades and apartheid system.
