Gaza on the Brink of Massive Famine - 9.30.2025

Over the past day Israeli bombardment of Gaza City has killed at least 50 Palestinians and leveled entire city blocks. Reports say drones struck near Al-Shifa Hospital and Al-Helou Hospital has been shelled; doctors and patients — including 12 premature babies — remain trapped. Doctors Without Borders has suspended operations in Gaza City; its emergency coordinator, Jacob Granger, says clinics are encircled and staff have “no choice but to stop.”

Hundreds of thousands have fled Gaza City with nowhere safe to go. Rami Al-Hassi, who lost a leg in an earlier attack, describes walking south from Beach Camp with a recently fitted artificial limb, sleeping outdoors in the cold and carrying only the clothes he fled in while being strafed by drones, shelled by tanks, and hit from the sea.

At the United Nations, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to “finish the job,” prompting more than 100 diplomats to walk out and thousands to protest. As world leaders meet and negotiate, urgent diplomatic intervention and an immediate cease-fire are needed to protect civilians and secure lasting relief.

MAGA demands the Epstein cover-up end now - 9.30.2025

Expose the worst of the worst—the pedophiles and rapists.

The victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — and the American public — have waited long enough. The government’s refusal to release Epstein’s files is a blatant cover-up protecting the rich and powerful. We demand full disclosure of names, flight logs, bank records, and agency communications, along with a truly independent investigation. Victims deserve massive compensation funded by those who enabled and profited from this trafficking network. 

Until the files are released and the powerful are held accountable, America cannot claim to stand for justice. 

Remember: true justice never sleeps.

Paying the Price for Gender: Kristof on Global Inequality - 9.28.2025

In The Tax on Being a Girl, Nicholas Kristof exposes the systemic barriers and discrimination that girls face worldwide, highlighting how gender shapes opportunities from birth. Kristof details how cultural norms, economic inequality, and violence limit girls’ access to education, healthcare, and basic safety. 

From child marriage and sex-selective practices to unequal pay and restricted career paths, girls effectively pay a “tax” simply for their gender. The piece emphasizes the compounded disadvantages for girls in impoverished regions, where poverty intersects with gender bias, often trapping them in cycles of exploitation and marginalization. 

Kristof calls for global attention and action, stressing that empowering girls—through education, legal protections, and social reforms—benefits not only individuals but entire communities. His analysis underscores that addressing gender inequality is not merely a moral imperative; it is crucial for economic growth, social justice, and human development. 

The Epstein Cover-Up Must End: Release the Files, Expose the Powerful, Compensate the Victims - 9.28.2205

The American people — and the countless victims of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell — demand the full truth.

For years, we have been promised accountability. We were told the “worst of the worst” would be exposed. Donald Trump himself pledged to “drain the swamp.” Yet what do we see?

• The Department of Justice continues to hide critical Epstein files — flight logs, bank records, witness transcripts, and grand jury evidence.
• Excuses change — privacy, secrecy, “no client list” — but the result is the same: protection for the rich and powerful.
• Ghislaine Maxwell enjoys favorable treatment, moved to a low-security facility while her victims remain traumatized, uncompensated, and ignored.

This is nothing less than a cover-up to protect elites.
________________________________________

MAGA DEMANDS

1. Immediate release of all Epstein files — no redactions, no delays.
2. Full public disclosure of every name connected to Epstein’s trafficking network.
3. Massive compensation for victims — funded not just by Epstein’s estate, but by the banks, corporations, and individuals who enabled and profited from these crimes.
4. Independent investigation into federal agencies that failed or suppressed the truth.

________________________________________

THE SWAMP IS HERE

This is the swamp. These are the worst of the worst. Until these files are released and the guilty are held accountable, the United States cannot claim to stand for justice.

Justice delayed is justice denied. Release the files. Compensate the victims. Expose the powerful. Drain the swamp.

Netanyahu’s Empty Words, Empty Hall - 9.27.2025

Benjamin Netanyahu’s latest appearance at the United Nations was marked by two things: defiance and emptiness. He railed against countries recognizing Palestine, dismissing them as legitimizing “terror.” But the truth is far more damning. Netanyahu claims to be fighting terrorism while presiding over what many rightly call the mother of all terror campaigns — the slaughter and starvation of an entire population, overwhelmingly children.

The symbolism was stark. His words echoed through a mostly empty hall, reflecting the deepening isolation of Israel on the world stage. No amount of rhetoric can disguise the devastation in Gaza and Lebanon, where civilians have borne the brunt of Israel’s actions. Instead of hanging his head in shame, Netanyahu doubles down, falsely portraying atrocity as self-defense.

It is shameful that the United States continues to shield him from accountability. Washington’s uncritical support makes us complicit in crimes that the world increasingly condemns. If America wants to stand on the side of justice and human rights, it must break with Netanyahu’s destructive path.

America Shields a Massive War Criminal - 9.27.2025

Israel’s latest massacre in Gaza killed 29 Palestinians in a single day, including children and families seeking food. Mothers like Samia al-Samry are left to watch their children die under rubble from U.S.-funded bombs. This is not defense — it is genocide, carried out with full American complicity.

The crimes extend beyond Gaza. Israeli airstrikes on Yemen’s capital, Sana’a, killed eight and injured 142, deliberately striking residential neighborhoods. Every strike is another war crime enabled by U.S. weapons and diplomatic cover.
At the U.N., Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas called Israel’s assault “a war of genocide, destruction, starvation and displacement,” warning that peace is impossible without justice. Yet while Palestinians are silenced, America welcomes one of the worst war criminals in the world, Prime Minister Netanyahu, into the White House — even as he evades travel to some nations where he risks arrest for crimes against humanity. This is shameful and damning.

If the U.S. truly values democracy and human rights, it must stop arming and shielding Israel. Otherwise, America’s hands remain stained with the blood of innocents.

When Misinformation Overshadows Science - 9.25.2025

I was alarmed by recent remarks linking autism to Tylenol use during pregnancy and routine childhood vaccines. Leading autism researchers called the statements “dangerous” and “misleading,” highlighting the frustration of experts forced to defend decades of rigorous scientific work.

Autism is complex, influenced by genetics and multiple environmental factors, and there is no credible evidence that vaccines or common painkillers cause it. Spreading unverified claims risks fueling vaccine hesitancy, stigmatizing families of autistic children, and undermining public trust in medical research.

We rely on scientists to guide public health policy with evidence, not speculation. Journalists and leaders have a responsibility to ensure that public statements about sensitive medical issues are accurate. Misrepresenting science for political or sensational purposes is not just irresponsible—it can be dangerous.

It is imperative that our public discourse on autism be grounded in rigorous evidence, not misleading claims.

Arab Nations Face Rising Anxiety Over Israel Ties - 9.25.2025

Recent attacks on Qatar and Gaza City have heightened unease among Arab nations that maintain ties with Israel. Countries that entered the Abraham Accords or pursued quiet cooperation with Israel are now finding themselves caught between political agreements and the anger of their own citizens.

The bombardment of Gaza, coupled with strikes raising tensions in Qatar, fuels the perception that normalization with Israel has come at the cost of ignoring Palestinian suffering. Popular anger in Bahrain, Morocco, and the UAE is growing, threatening to undermine fragile arrangements that were touted as steps toward stability. Instead, Israel’s escalating violence deepens regional instability and erodes trust.

Arab leaders who once hoped engagement might encourage moderation now face a dangerous backlash. They must decide whether to continue down the path of normalization or to stand with their citizens in demanding accountability for Israel’s actions. The choice they make will determine whether the Middle East moves toward greater justice and peace—or further conflict. 

A Victory for People Power - 9.25.2025

The return of Jimmy Kimmel to the airwaves is more than just the revival of a late-night host; it is a triumph of people power over entrenched corporate and political interests. In a media landscape too often dominated by profit-driven agendas and political influence, Kimmel’s comeback serves as a reminder that public voices still matter.

When ordinary citizens push back against the machinery of corporate control and political manipulation, victories like this are possible. The resilience of independent voices is critical to preserving honest dialogue, satire, and the freedom to challenge those in power. Kimmel’s return should inspire us to recognize our collective strength and to continue demanding accountability, not only in entertainment but also in government and business.

This moment is not just about one individual—it is a celebration of democracy in action, where the will of the people prevails over the narrow interests of the powerful.

U.S. Complicity in Israel’s War Crimes - 9.23.2025

Israel continues to slaughter civilians with impunity, from Gaza to Lebanon, despite a recent United Nations finding that it is committing genocide in Gaza. Instead of halting military aid, the United States is preparing a new arms deal, including 30 Apache attack helicopters and over 3,000 infantry assault vehicles—tools certain to be used against defenseless civilians.

Just this week, an Israeli airstrike in southern Lebanon killed five US citizens including three children from the same family and their father. Lebanon’s prime minister rightly called it a massacre. 

Meanwhile, ordinary people are showing the moral leadership absent from governments—Italian unions staged a nationwide strike to protest Israel’s war. If governments will not act, it falls to citizens to demand an end to U.S-EU. complicity in Israel’s horrific war crimes.

Britain’s Recognition of Palestine: A Step Toward Justice - 9.22.2025

Britain’s recent formal recognition of a Palestinian state is a historic step after decades of campaigning. Former Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, speaking from London, hailed the move but emphasized the urgent need for action. He highlighted the ongoing genocide in Gaza and Britain’s continued military and economic ties to Israel, including supplying parts for F-35 jets and allowing RAF airbases to be used by Israeli planes.

Corbyn called for renewed political pressure on the British government to halt arms supplies and impose economic sanctions on Israel. He stressed the importance of global solidarity, noting that U.S. support for Israel increasingly isolates it internationally. Corbyn also condemned Israeli settlements in the West Bank as illegal under international law and part of a broader plan for occupation. Recognition of Palestine offers an opportunity to uphold human rights and enforce international law. 

The noose is tightening on Netanyahu’s horrific genocide - 9.22.2025

The formal recognition of a Palestinian state by Britain, Canada, Australia, and Portugal marks a long-overdue step toward justice and peace. Prime Minister Keir Starmer acknowledged that such recognition is essential to reviving hope in a two-state solution, while Palestinian Ambassador Husam Zomlot rightly noted that this step was withheld for too long, enabling decades of land theft, colonization, and a horrific genocide.

More than 140 nations now recognize Palestine, and France is expected to follow. Yet Israel’s leadership remains defiant, vowing that a Palestinian state “will not happen” while continuing bombardments in Gaza that have already killed over 65,000, believed to be a gross undercount, people and displaced nearly half a million. Recent Israeli strikes have also killed children in Lebanon and dozens of journalists in Yemen.

Global recognition of Palestine must be paired with accountability for Israel’s ongoing atrocities. Without justice, peace will remain an empty promise.

Hollywood’s Hall of Shame - 9.21.2025

The suspension of Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show belongs in Hollywood’s Hall of Shame. That a few minutes of satire can so easily unravel a career exposes the fragility of free expression in today’s media landscape. What happened to Kimmel is not just about one comedian; it is about how powerful political and media forces can silence voices they dislike.

Satire has always been one of the sharpest tools in a democracy, holding leaders accountable through laughter. But now, instead of laughing, powerful actors move swiftly to punish, censor, or intimidate. Whether through regulatory threats, affiliate boycotts, or lawsuits, the effect is the same: careers can be destroyed in an instant.
The chilling effect is obvious. Creators, journalists, and comedians may hesitate to speak truth to power if one misstep—or one politically inconvenient truth—means professional exile. A culture that punishes satire is a culture that fears its own reflection.

If Hollywood still values freedom of expression, it should stand behind those who dare to use their platform for critique, even when it stings. Otherwise, the Hall of Fame becomes a Hall of Shame.

Dogs Eating Babies Starved & Murdered by IDF Terrorists - 9.21.2025

The death toll in Gaza has passed 42,400—an undercount that masks the true horror. Behind the numbers are children shot in the head or chest, their CT scans revealing the brutality of Israeli snipers. Dr. Feroze Sidhwa, an American trauma surgeon, has described these wounds in detail, explaining that if Americans saw the images, they could no longer deny the reality: children executed, not caught in “crossfire.”

Palestinian nurse Rajaa Musleh, who worked at Al-Shifa Hospital, recalls watching a starving dog devour a baby’s corpse outside the emergency ward. She says that sight will haunt her forever. “We are human beings, not numbers. We have the right to receive healthcare inside Gaza.”

Doctors in Gaza report seeing such injuries daily, evidence of systematic terror. Nearly 100 U.S. medical professionals have pleaded with President Trump to end America’s complicity in this genocide.

Every bullet, every bomb, every child’s shattered body is made possible by U.S. weapons. The world must demand accountability—before there are no children left to save.

The Disappearance of Dr. Abu Safiya - 9.18.2025

Al Jazeera’s documentary The Disappearance of Dr. Abu Safiya shines a harrowing light on Israel’s abduction and torture of one of Gaza’s most selfless doctors. Dr. Abu Safiya, revered as a saint by his community, dedicated his life to saving the sick and wounded under unimaginable conditions. For this, he was kidnapped and brutalized in Israel’s dungeons—his voice silenced, his compassion punished.

This is not just the story of one man, but of a deliberate campaign to crush Gaza’s medical workers, the very lifeline for a besieged people. Israel’s war on doctors is a war on humanity itself. The silence of world leaders, including Washington, makes them complicit in this crime.

Dr. Abu Safiya’s disappearance must not fade into the shadows. His courage and sacrifice demand accountability and justice—for him, for Gaza, and for the principle that no healer should be tortured for saving lives.

Making a killing out of killing: Amnesty Int’l: Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Palantir Enable & Profit from Israel’s Genocide in Gaza - 9.18.2025

Amnesty International has released a new report detailing the “global political economy” that enables Israel’s genocide, occupation, and apartheid against Palestinians. Secretary General Agnès Callamard stated that Israel’s “24 months of genocide” since October 2023 would not be possible without international complicity and the steady flow of weapons and technology sustaining Israel’s military operations. The report highlights U.S. defense giants Boeing and Lockheed Martin, Israeli arms makers Elbit Systems, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, and Israel Aerospace Industries, as well as South Korea’s Hyundai and U.S. technology firm Palantir Technologies, among others, as key profiteers. Callamard warned that while condemnation of Israel is growing worldwide, denunciations alone are meaningless without concrete action. Amnesty is urging states to impose an immediate ceasefire, halt arms transfers, and enact economic measures, including a comprehensive arms embargo on Israel, to end impunity for mass atrocities in Gaza

Which Banks Profited from Epstein? - 9.18.2025

The Epstein scandal is not just about powerful men and Ghislaine Maxwell’s leniency. A deeper question remains unanswered: which banks profited from his crimes?

Major institutions, including JPMorgan Chase and Deutsche Bank, ignored warning signs and processed suspicious transactions that fueled Epstein’s abuse. Without their cooperation—or deliberate negligence—Epstein could not have operated at such scale.

While these banks have paid settlements, the truth is that fines are a fraction of their profits. Executives face no accountability, and survivors still lack transparency about how much money was made from their exploitation.
If justice is to mean anything, it must include exposing and punishing the financial enablers who looked the other way. Otherwise, the same system that allowed Epstein to thrive will continue to protect profit over people.

U.S. Silence Amid Israel’s Escalating Atrocities - 9.18.2025

Israel’s assault on Gaza City by land, air, and sea has reached new levels of horror. In just 24 hours, at least 79 Palestinians were killed and 228 wounded as tanks, jets, and naval forces bombarded residential areas. Among the dead are a mother and child in the Shati refugee camp and 13 people killed outside Al-Shifa Hospital. Survivors like Yasmin Zaqout describe being pulled from rubble while family members suffocated or were crushed to death.
Gaza is now under a complete internet blackout, cutting families off from the outside world. Investigations show nearly 3,000 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid, including almost 1,000 at sites run by the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.

Meanwhile, families of American citizens killed by Israeli soldiers and settlers are demanding answers in Washington. They ask why U.S. leaders act swiftly when the perpetrators are anyone but Israel. Representative Pramila Jayapal and Senator Bernie Sanders have rightly called this genocide.

The European Commission is moving toward sanctions. When will the U.S. government stop shielding Israel and finally hold it accountable?

Trump’s Reckless Approach to the Economy - 9.18.2025

The New York Times editorial “Trump Is Treating the Economy Like His Family Business” highlights a serious concern: Donald Trump governs with the instincts of a businessman protecting his own brand, not the responsibility of a president. Short-term gains and loyalty tests may work in a family enterprise, but applied to the U.S. economy, they threaten stability and public trust.

Our country needs policies grounded in transparency, long-term planning, and fiscal responsibility—not impulsive moves that risk jobs, markets, and the livelihoods of millions of Americans. Treating the federal government as a personal enterprise undermines institutions designed to safeguard economic stability and fairness.

Leadership requires foresight and accountability. The stakes are too high to allow personal ambition to override the public good. Americans deserve an economy managed for the nation, not for one individual’s interests.

Why Does Trump Still Bow to Putin? - 9.18.2025

Thomas Friedman’s recent column asks a question that America’s allies are already asking: Why does Donald Trump still bow to Vladimir Putin? Despite Russia’s brutal war in Ukraine and ongoing threats to NATO, Trump has never once held Putin accountable. Instead, he echoes Kremlin talking points and shows admiration for an authoritarian strongman who seeks to undermine Western democracy.

This silence is not lost on our allies. They see a U.S. leader who once weakened NATO, praised Putin’s “genius,” and continues to give him political cover. They are left to wonder: Is Trump compromised, intimidated, or simply drawn to authoritarian rule?

Whatever the reason, the effect is the same—Trump undermines U.S. credibility and weakens global confidence in America’s commitment to freedom. At a time when democratic nations must stand together, his deference to Putin sends exactly the wrong message.

A U.S. Veteran’s Testimony From Gaza: Evidence of Systematic Extermination - 9.18.2025

As Israel’s ground invasion of Gaza intensifies, the testimony of Dr. Kathleen Gallagher, a U.S. military veteran and general surgeon volunteering at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, should shock our conscience. Treating up to 400 patients daily, Gallagher reports that nearly 40% are under the age of 20. Just this week, she witnessed six children killed by single gunshots to the head—lethal wounds that suggest deliberate targeting.

Having served as a medic in Iraq and Afghanistan and volunteered in Honduras and Ukraine, Gallagher insists Gaza is “worse than anything I’ve ever seen.” She describes overwhelming trauma cases from gunshots and explosions, mass displacement, and the near-total destruction of civil infrastructure. What she sees on the ground amounts to what she calls “the extermination of a people and a way of life.”

Her testimony follows a recent U.N. inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza, violating four of the five acts prohibited under the Genocide Convention. Gallagher reminds us this is not a matter of politics but of basic morality.

Americans cannot ignore the voices of those risking their lives to bear witness. We must demand our leaders act with courage and humanity to end this senseless slaughter.

Israel’s Escalating Assault on Palestinians Demands Global Action - 9.17.2025

Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza City have displaced more than 50,000 Palestinians, leaving families without shelter as bombs continue to level high-rise buildings. In just one day, 42 Palestinians were killed, including 14 members of a single family—three generations erased in a single airstrike. Families like Abu Tarek Habboub’s, forced to march south along the coastline with nothing but the clothes on their backs, now face the unbearable choice between death and despair.
At the same time, Israel has launched mass raids in the occupied West Bank, arresting 1,500 Palestinians in Tulkarem, including children. Residents describe soldiers terrorizing women and children and destroying property under the guise of “security.”

Prime Minister Netanyahu has openly declared there “will not be a Palestinian state,” while approving 3,400 new settlement homes designed to sever Palestinian communities. This brazen defiance of international law is further compounded by Israel’s deadly strike on Qatar, condemned by the U.N. Security Council.

Even U.S. senators, after witnessing conditions on the ground, now acknowledge Israel’s campaign amounts to ethnic cleansing and collective punishment, with America complicit through its unconditional support.

How many more families must be slaughtered, displaced, or imprisoned before the international community holds Israel accountable? Silence and inaction make us all complicit in this humanitarian catastrophe. 

Netanyahu: Hitler of the Middle East - 9.16.2025

The United Nations has issued a damning verdict: Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. A U.N. inquiry found Israel guilty of four of the five acts outlawed under the Genocide Convention, naming Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and President Isaac Herzog as responsible. Navi Pillay, who led the inquiry, compared Israel’s actions to the Rwandan genocide of 1994.

On the ground, the horror is undeniable. Israel has launched a full-scale assault on Gaza City, displacing nearly a million people and leveling more than 50 high-rises. At least 68 were killed in one day of airstrikes—most of them civilians. Entire neighborhoods have been reduced to rubble, while children die not only from bombs but also from hunger and thirst under Israel’s deliberate blockade. Tens of thousands of Palestinian children have been slaughtered or starved to death—an unforgivable crime.

And yet, the United States and European Union keep supplying weapons, shielding Israel diplomatically, and defending the indefensible. Even Israel’s reckless strike in Qatar—planned in advance and concealed from Washington—has been excused.

Netanyahu has become the Hitler of the Middle East, willing to trade human life for land and power. Each death adds to a searing rage that will last for generations. Israel is planting the seeds of eternal resentment—and no nation built on genocide will ever know peace.

All Faiths Must Unite Against Israel’s Holocaust - 9.15.2025

Israel’s latest attack in Qatar is not an isolated crime but part of an ongoing Holocaust against the Palestinian people. At this moment of moral crisis, the world cannot remain silent. Every Arab state must unite in condemning Israel’s brutality, but this responsibility goes far beyond the Arab world.

All faiths must speak with one voice. Christians must ask what Christ would say as children are bombed, starved, and denied dignity. Muslims cannot look away while their brothers and sisters are massacred. Sikhs must remember Guru Nanak’s teaching that God is Truth, but higher still is Truthful Living—standing with the oppressed. Hindus must stand against Netanyahu’s barbarism, as violence against innocents violates the very essence of dharma. Jews themselves must condemn Zionist extremism that shames the Jewish faith and violates its deepest moral commandments.

The U.S. and European Union deserve condemnation for their unconditional support of the oppressor while abandoning the oppressed. Their hypocrisy mocks the values they claim to uphold.

And the Pope must finally break his silence. The Catholic Church cannot stand idle while Israel commits mass murder and starvation. A true moral leader must call this evil by its name.

If humanity fails to unite now—across nations and religions—we risk losing our conscience forever.

“Shame on Humanity”: A Doctor’s Cry from Gaza - 9.15.2025

A Gaza doctor recently issued a desperate plea to the world: “Shame on humanity.” His words reflect the unbearable reality inside Gaza, where Israel’s relentless bombing and blockade have turned hospitals into graveyards and left families with no safe place to turn.

Doctors, once healers, now struggle to perform amputations without anesthesia, treat children without medicine, and bury colleagues alongside their patients. These are not scenes of war but of genocide—deliberate policies that destroy the very possibility of life. International law forbids the targeting of civilians, yet the global community, led by the United States, continues to arm and defend Israel as if these crimes were acts of self-defense.

The doctor’s cry is not only for his people but for all of us, because what is being destroyed in Gaza is not just lives, but the very fabric of humanity and moral conscience. To remain silent is to be complicit. History will remember who stood by while entire generations were erased.

If “never again” is to mean anything, the world must act now—end the genocide, demand a ceasefire, and hold Israel accountable. The shame is not Gaza’s. The shame is ours.

Hollywood’s Moral Crossroads - 9.14.2025

Hollywood is at war with itself over Gaza, torn between protecting careers and standing for social and moral justice. Thousands of actors and directors have pledged not to work with Israeli film institutions complicit in occupation and war, insisting that silence is not neutrality but complicity.

Industry leaders and studios warn that activism politicizes art and risks professional futures. But refusing to speak out while hospitals are bombed, families displaced, and journalists silenced is not neutrality—it is endorsement by omission.
The contrast is stark: career caution sustains the status quo, while moral courage demands accountability and solidarity with the oppressed. Hollywood cannot claim to champion diversity and human rights on screen while ignoring them off-screen.

At this moment, the industry must decide whether its values are simply performance or a genuine commitment to justice. The world is watching. 

Weaponizing Tragedy Threatens Us All - 9.13.2025

The murder of Charlie Kirk was a horrific act that should be condemned by all who value human life and democracy. Yet instead of responding with empathy and a call for unity, Donald Trump and his allies have seized on this tragedy to intensify their attacks on the political left. Declaring that “we just have to beat the hell out of them,” Trump is once again inciting violence rather than calming a nation in pain.

As journalist Mehdi Hasan points out, this is a dangerous rewriting of history. Even before the suspect was identified or a motive established, Republicans rushed to blame “the left,” weaponizing the killing to smear their political opponents. This cynical exploitation of tragedy is not only dishonest—it risks fueling even more violence.

None of us should celebrate political violence, no matter the victim. Kirk’s rhetoric was divisive and often cruel, but he did not deserve to die for his views. His family deserves empathy, not politicized exploitation of his death. At the same time, we must remember that the vast majority of politically motivated violence in recent years has come from the far right, from January 6th to countless attacks ignored or erased by the same figures now crying foul.

The danger today is not only political extremism but also leaders who weaponize tragedy to divide us further. America cannot heal while its president stokes violence instead of condemning it.

Israel’s Death of the Two-State Solution and U.S. Drift Toward Endless War - 9.13.2025

Mehdi Hasan’s recent remarks cut to the heart of two urgent crises: Israel’s deliberate erasure of any possibility of a Palestinian state and America’s reckless military overreach.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has made it explicit: there will never be a Palestinian state. His government just approved the construction of 3,400 new homes in the West Bank, cementing a policy of permanent occupation. Israeli forces have rounded up more than 1,500 Palestinians in Tulkarem, many held without charge—hostages in all but name. As Hasan notes, Israel’s far-right leadership is refreshingly honest in its brutality, admitting openly what U.S. politicians still pretend is not true: the two-state solution is dead, buried under settlements and enforced through mass detention.

Meanwhile, the United States risks repeating old mistakes. The recent attack on a boat off Venezuela, which killed 11 people, looks less like counter-narcotics and more like an act of mass murder. President Trump offers no evidence, only rhetoric. Congress, once again, cedes its war-making powers, leaving presidents free to wage secret wars from the Caribbean to Korea.

Together, these crises expose the collapse of international law and the dangers of unchecked power. If America continues to arm Israel’s apartheid and expand its own militarism abroad, we will only fuel more war, injustice, and human suffering.

U.S. Complicity in Israel’s War Crimes Cannot Be Ignored - 9.12.2025

Israel’s latest attacks on Gaza City have displaced over 50,000 Palestinians and killed at least 42 people in a single day, including 14 members of one family — three generations wiped out in one airstrike. Families like that of Abu Tarek Habboub, forced to walk south with 10 children and no shelter, food, or money, are living proof that Israel’s war is nothing less than terrorism.

At the same time, Israeli forces in the West Bank rounded up more than 1,500 Palestinians in Tulkarem, including children, subjecting them to curfews, humiliation, and terror. Prime Minister Netanyahu has doubled down, approving thousands of new illegal settlements while boasting that there will “never be a Palestinian state.”

The United States is not an innocent bystander. Washington bankrolls Israel’s military, shields it diplomatically, and allows U.S. corporate media to sanitize war crimes with euphemisms like “strikes” and “operations.” Reporters rarely demand access to Gaza or the West Bank, instead echoing official propaganda while Palestinians are starved, bombed, and erased from their land.

Even U.S. Senators Van Hollen and Merkley admit Israel is committing ethnic cleansing, and that America is complicit. Unless the U.S. ends its military and political support, it will drag itself — and the world — into a wider war born of impunity and genocide.

No Red Carpet for War Criminals - 9.11.2025

Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s recent visit to London highlights the growing global outrage at Israel’s conduct in Gaza. Herzog admitted he had a “tough” exchange with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, yet still repeated the tired claim that Israel’s brutal campaign is about “defending Western values.” At Chatham House, he declared Israel was protecting Europe and the “free world” with the “blood and tears” of its families—a grotesque distortion that equates mass civilian suffering with noble sacrifice.

Outside, protesters made clear what many around the world see: signs reading “Stop the Slaughter” and “Don’t Listen to War Criminals” underscored the reality that Israel’s actions are not defense, but devastation. Even the Scottish newspaper The National condemned Starmer for “rolling out the red carpet for genocide.”

Herzog himself has provided ample grounds for accountability. In October 2023, he declared all Palestinians in Gaza “unequivocally” responsible for Hamas’s attacks—an admission of collective punishment that violates international law. Palestinian rights groups used this very statement in seeking his arrest. While Britain’s Crown Prosecution Service reviewed the application, authorities ultimately failed to act.

\The U.K. must ask itself: does honoring leaders implicated in war crimes align with the values they claim to uphold, or betray them entirely?

Netanyahu’s War Crimes Must Be Stopped - 9.11.2025

Benjamin Netanyahu’s war machine has crossed yet another line. On September 11, Israeli airstrikes slaughtered 35 people and wounded 131 in Yemen. Entire residential neighborhoods in Sana’a and even a government compound in al-Jawf province were targeted. These are not defensive measures — they are war crimes against civilians.

This attack came just a day after Israel bombed Qatar, killing six people in what Qatar’s prime minister rightly called “an act of state terror.” He added that Netanyahu “needs to be brought to justice.” Even Donald Trump, hardly a critic of Israel, was reportedly furious, calling Netanyahu reckless for blindsiding the U.S. with the strike on Doha.

Inside Israel itself, the truth is breaking through. Families of hostages and even military reservists marched on the Israeli military headquarters in Tel Aviv, demanding an end to the war. Their message was clear: Netanyahu’s obsession with endless bloodshed only endangers the hostages further.

Meanwhile, 22 more Palestinians were killed in Gaza since dawn the same day. This is Netanyahu’s legacy: expanding massacres across borders, crushing civilians under bombs, and destroying any hope of peace.

Netanyahu is not defending Israel — he is destabilizing the entire region and committing crimes against humanity in the process. The international community must stop enabling his slaughter and hold him accountable as the war criminal he is.

U.S. Hands Are Not Clean in Israel’s Wars - 9.10.2025

Jeremy Scahill’s report on Israel’s bombing of Hamas in Qatar lays bare a truth too often ignored: these attacks would not be possible without U.S. support. For decades, Washington has armed Israel with billions in weapons, guaranteed its impunity at the United Nations, and sold its actions as “self-defense.” In reality, America is underwriting aggression that extends far beyond Gaza and the West Bank.

When Israel strikes targets in another sovereign country, as it did in Qatar, it is not acting alone. American weapons, American funding, and American silence all make such operations possible. Each bomb dropped with our money deepens instability in the Middle East, risks wider regional war, and ensures the suffering of countless civilians.

Meanwhile, ordinary Americans struggle with collapsing infrastructure, unaffordable healthcare, and growing inequality. Yet our leaders continue to bankroll destruction abroad, sacrificing our moral credibility and domestic priorities in the process. This is not security—it is complicity in endless war.

The United States must stop providing Israel with a blank check for militarism and instead commit to diplomacy and accountability. Until then, every act of violence carried out by Israel with U.S. support will stain America’s conscience.

Trump’s “Chipocalypse” and Gaza’s Real Apocalypse - 9.10.2025

President Donald Trump’s recent attempt to invoke Apocalypse Now—which he rebranded as “Chipocalypse”—to mock Vice President Kamala Harris is not only tone-deaf, it is grotesque when placed against the backdrop of real apocalyptic suffering. While Trump uses Hollywood metaphors for political theater, millions of Palestinians are living through an actual apocalypse: the ongoing genocide in Gaza.

Writer Viet Thanh Nguyen rightly pointed out the absurdity of Trump’s rhetoric while reminding us that the devastation in Gaza is not fiction, but a brutal reality. Entire families have been wiped out, children starved and buried under rubble, and hospitals reduced to graveyards. The use of “apocalypse” as a punchline in U.S. politics trivializes the very real destruction inflicted with American-made weapons and taxpayer funding.

Our political leaders and media should not allow genocide to be a backdrop for campaign jokes or partisan gamesmanship. Trump’s rhetoric is dangerous not only for its mockery of human suffering but also for its distraction from urgent moral responsibility. The real “apocalypse” is in Gaza, and it is time Americans confront that truth. 

JP Morgan’s Complicity in Epstein’s Crimes - 9.10.2025

The revelations about Jeffrey Epstein’s long relationship with JPMorgan Chase are a chilling reminder of how powerful institutions can enable and protect predators. Court documents and investigations now show that Epstein’s financial dealings were not hidden in the shadows, but openly facilitated by the largest bank in the United States.

Despite numerous red flags—including suspicious wire transfers, cash withdrawals, and well-known allegations of sexual exploitation—JPMorgan continued to serve Epstein as a valued client for years. The bank profited from these dealings while turning a blind eye to the obvious: that its services were helping sustain Epstein’s predatory empire.

This scandal exposes not just one man’s crimes, but the broader rot of a financial system that rewards wealth over morality. JPMorgan executives who ignored or dismissed internal warnings must be held accountable. Without real consequences, the message to other financial giants is clear: profit is worth more than protecting human lives.

The Epstein case is not only about one predator but about the corporate structures that made his abuse possible. True justice requires not just exposing Epstein’s crimes, but demanding accountability from the institutions that enabled them.

Falsely Branding Pro-Palestinians as "Terrorists" - 9.8.2025

 The recent arrests of pro-Palestinian activists in the UK, falsely branded as “terrorists,” should deeply trouble anyone who believes in democracy and free expression. These groups are not terrorists—they are ordinary citizens calling attention to the horrific slaughter and starvation of thousands of Palestinian children at the hands of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s government and the Israeli Defense Forces.

Labeling peaceful protesters as extremists while simultaneously arming and supporting the very forces responsible for mass killings exposes a shameful hypocrisy. The UK government should be standing up for human rights and international law, not aiding in the silencing of dissent and the perpetuation of war crimes.
Netanyahu and the IDF’s deliberate targeting of civilians, destruction of homes, and use of starvation as a weapon are acts that meet the very definition of terrorism. To criminalize those who demand accountability is to invert morality and justice.

If the UK is serious about defending democracy, it must stop arming Israel and start protecting the rights of its own citizens to protest injustice. The true threat to peace and security comes not from protesters in London, but from policies that enable and excuse the mass killing of innocent children.

Israel’s Relentless War on Children - 9.8.2025

Israel’s relentless campaign in Gaza has entered a new level of brutality. In Gaza City, the Israeli military recently blew up at least three high-rise residential buildings as part of a broader effort to destroy the city and drive out more than one million residents. Many demolitions are carried out by robots placing explosives inside homes, a chilling testament to calculated cruelty. Over the past two days alone, Israel has killed more than 100 Palestinians, and residents say there is nowhere left to flee.

One displaced woman, Ibtasim Muqdad, captured the despair: “Wherever we went, there were bombardments… all displacement is for nothing. 

The tragedy is not limited to the ruins of Gaza City. According to Save the Children, Israel has killed over 20,000 Palestinian children in just the past 23 months — on average, at least one child every single hour. If this continues, the organization warns, an entire generation of Gaza’s children will be lost.

Meanwhile, famine and malnutrition are also taking lives. Nearly 400 Palestinians, including 140 children, have starved to death as food and aid are deliberately restricted.

This is not security or self-defense; it is mass killing, displacement, and starvation — acts that shock the conscience and demand accountability. How much longer will the world stand by in silence?

A Few Powerful Quotes About America's Current Leadership - 9.8.2025

“Marching backward into endless war is not leadership.”

“Trump’s ‘War Department’ = permanent militarism.”

“America should export rights & compassion, not bombs.”

A Return to the War Department: Marching Backward - 9.6.2025

The proposed return to the name “War Department” is not a quaint nod to history; it is a dangerous signal of endless militarism. By embracing war as the defining mission of our government, we propel ourselves into a perpetual state of conflict—more to secure the Trump administration’s grip on power than to defend American lives.

Have we not done enough damage to the world already? From overthrowing democracies in Iran and Guatemala, to fueling bloodshed in Afghanistan and Iraq, to the unrelenting occupation in Palestine, to regime change obsessions in Cuba, we have left a trail of destruction. Even Hawai‘i was seized in the name of expansion.

Meanwhile, Americans are footing the bill for this endless war footing. The Pentagon budget already exceeds $1 trillion, and billions more are being poured into aiding genocide in Gaza and fueling confrontation with Iran. These staggering costs drain resources from health care, education, and rebuilding our own crumbling infrastructure, while enriching defense contractors and entrenching cycles of violence abroad.

Rather than projecting raw military power, America should project what the world so desperately needs—basic human rights, compassion, and respect for sovereignty. This renaming is not only a betrayal of Trump’s promise to end endless wars, it is a betrayal of the American people who yearn for peace and security.

War should never be normalized. The last thing this country needs is to march backward into a future defined by endless violence.

Mass Murder on the High Seas - 9.6.2025

The United States is now in a perpetual state of undeclared war. President Trump’s decision to summarily kill suspected drug smugglers at sea marks a chilling escalation—bypassing courts, due process, and the very principles of democracy. Eleven people were blown up in the Caribbean with no trial, no evidence tested, and no accountability. This is not law enforcement. This is mass murder on the high seas. 

The administration boasts of expanding these strikes while the Pentagon’s budget soars beyond $1 trillion. Billions more are to be squandered on militarism while domestic needs—from housing to healthcare—remain unmet. Americans should be asking: is this really about security, or is it a dangerous spectacle designed to distract us from scandals like the unreleased Epstein files?

When presidents claim the unchecked power to kill without trial, our nation slides toward authoritarian rule. Congress and the courts must not remain silent. We must demand transparency, accountability, and a return to the rule of law. 

Otherwise, endless war and bloated defense budgets will continue to serve as cover for corruption and abuse.

If the United States allows its leaders to replace justice with execution, we will have surrendered not only our moral standing in the world but our own democracy at home.
