The Shameful Price Of Endless War - 11.6.2026

The Trump administration’s demand for another $350 billion for war with Iran is an appalling indictment of America’s priorities. How many more billions must be squandered on wars that bring death, destruction and instability rather than security?

The 2003 invasion of Iraq, a country that posed no imminent threat to the United States, was launched on false claims about weapons of mass destruction. Millions suffered, countless lives were lost, and the region was destabilized.

We must also remember the shameful history of Western interference in Iran. In 1953, the CIA and British intelligence helped overthrow Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh after he nationalized Iran’s oil industry, challenging the control of the British-owned Anglo-Iranian Oil Company. Iran’s democratic government was destroyed, and the Shah was restored to power.

These interventions helped create the deep mistrust that continues today. America and Britain must acknowledge their historical responsibility rather than pursue another disastrous war.

Pete Hegseth should explain why $350 billion is being demanded for further destruction while diplomacy, human lives and international law are treated as afterthoughts. War is not leadership. It is a moral failure.

The Cruelty Inflicted On Gaza’s Children Must End - 11.5.2026

The suffering of children in Gaza is a devastating indictment of humanity. According to Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor, 1,134 children have lost limbs in Israeli attacks since 2023. These young survivors face lifelong disability, chronic pain and unimaginable psychological trauma.

Even more shocking, Israel continues to restrict their access to specialized medical treatment abroad while blocking essential equipment and specialist teams needed to provide artificial limbs inside Gaza. Only eight certified prosthetics professionals reportedly remain.

How can any government justify denying injured children the medical care they desperately need? Children who have already endured horrific bombings are now being condemned to years of unnecessary suffering.

The continued killing and maiming of Palestinian children, alongside the denial of essential medical treatment, demand urgent international intervention. Western governments, particularly the United States, Britain and Germany, must stop supplying weapons and demand that Israel immediately lift these restrictions.

The United Nations and international humanitarian organizations must ensure medical supplies, rehabilitation equipment and specialist teams reach Gaza without obstruction.

The world must not abandon these children. Their lives, dignity and future matter.

Silencing Palestinian Journalists Is An Attack On Freedom Of The Press - 11.5.2026

The Detention Of Abed Abu Shehadeh Must End Immediately

The decision by an Israeli court to extend the detention of Palestinian journalist Abed Abu Shehadeh until November 8 is deeply disturbing. Security forces reportedly raided his home in Jaffa at midnight, in front of his two children, confiscating his laptop and telephone.

Abu Shehadeh is an editor at Arab48 and a contributor to +972 Magazine. His lawyers say his interrogation focused on an interview with Palestinian intellectual Azmi Bishara. The legal organization Adalah describes his detention as a politically motivated campaign to silence Palestinian journalists and activists.

How can israel claim to uphold democratic values while intimidating journalists for conducting interviews and expressing political opinions?

Freedom of the press is fundamental to every democracy. Palestinian journalists must enjoy the same rights, legal protections and freedom of expression as journalists everywhere.

The international community, particularly the United Nations, Britain, the United States and the European Union, must demand his immediate release and insist on due process and transparency.

Silencing journalists will not silence the truth. The world must stand with Abed Abu Shehadeh and defend press freedom.

Britain Must Stand for Palestinian Freedom - 11.2.2026

British parliamentarians have shown a stubborn disregard for Palestinian rights. Their continued failure to translate promises into meaningful action stands in stark contradiction to the teachings of all faiths, including Anglican, Jewish and Catholic traditions, which call for justice, compassion and respect for human dignity.

Jewish people everywhere should be deeply troubled by the persecution, dispossession and suffering inflicted upon Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Criticism of Israeli government policies is not criticism of Judaism or Jewish people. No government should be above international law.

Britain must move beyond diplomatic statements and take decisive action. All arms supplies that risk facilitating violations of international humanitarian law must end immediately. The ongoing devastation and alleged genocide in Gaza must be brought to an end. Humanitarian aid must reach everyone in need without obstruction.

The international community must insist on accountability, an end to occupation and the establishment of a genuinely sovereign Palestinian state, with equal rights, dignity and freedom.

Jeremy Corbyn's longstanding advocacy for Palestinian justice deserves serious consideration. Britain must demonstrate that human rights are universal, not selective. Silence and inaction are not neutrality; they carry consequences.

Gaza Cannot Have Peace While Palestinians Are Being Killed And Starved - 11.2.2026

The killing of five more Palestinian police officers by Israeli forces, reported by Democracy Now! on November 2, demands immediate international condemnation and independent investigation.

These deaths bring the reported number of Palestinian police officers killed since the October 2025 ceasefire to 75, according to Gaza's Interior Ministry.

How can Western governments claim to defend human rights, democracy and international justice while continuing arms shipments to Israel as Palestinian families remain on the brink of starvation?

Arms shipments to Israel must be halted immediately. Governments supplying weapons cannot evade responsibility for their use. Humanitarian aid must enter Gaza without obstruction, under effective United Nations supervision, and reach families desperately needing food, medicine, clean water and shelter.

A ceasefire cannot become a cover for continued killings, deprivation and the destruction of civilian life.

Where is the moral leadership of the United States, United Kingdom and European governments? Where is their commitment to equal human rights and international law?

Palestinian lives matter. Their children deserve food, safety, dignity and a future.

Justice cannot exist without accountability. The world must act now.

New U.S. Policy Must End Impunity For Israel - 10.27.2026

The world has changed, and America’s approach to Israel must change with it.

For decades, Washington has provided Israel with billions of dollars in military assistance while too often failing to hold its government accountable for its treatment of Palestinians. The continuing suffering in Gaza, the occupation of the West Bank, settlement expansion and settler violence demand more than expressions of concern.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has exploited American political divisions while damaging Israel’s international standing. Changing leaders alone will not solve this crisis. The United States must change the policies that enable injustice.

Congress and the White House must condition military assistance on compliance with international humanitarian law, suspend weapons transfers that risk facilitating violations, and impose meaningful consequences for settlement expansion and attacks on Palestinians. Humanitarian aid must reach Gaza without obstruction, and Palestinians must have the freedom and political rights necessary to determine their future.

Supporting Israeli security must never mean denying Palestinian humanity. Jewish traditions, like all great faiths, call upon us to pursue justice and protect the vulnerable.

America must choose principle over political pressure. A just and lasting peace requires equal rights, accountability and security for Palestinians and Israelis alike.

End Unconditional U.S. Support for Israel - 10.24.2026

America must end its policy of giving Israel unconditional support while ignoring the suffering of Palestinians. As Jon Finer argues, the traditional approach has failed. Washington’s repeated warnings without meaningful consequences have not stopped settlement expansion, settler violence, or the devastation of Gaza.

Benjamin Netanyahu’s possible departure will not, by itself, guarantee a change in policy. Any new Israeli government must be judged by its actions, not its promises. The United States should condition military aid and arms sales on compliance with international humanitarian law, stop using its United Nations veto to shield wrongful policies, and impose targeted sanctions on those responsible for illegal settlement activity and violence.

These measures are not hostility toward Israel or Jewish people. They are demands for accountability, equal human rights, and respect for international law. Fighting antisemitism must go hand in hand with defending Palestinian dignity and freedom.

American taxpayers deserve a foreign policy that reflects American values rather than political pressure. Palestinians deserve security, self-determination, and a viable state of their own. Israel deserves a future based on justice rather than permanent occupation.

The time for empty warnings is over. Consistent pressure and genuine diplomacy are essential for lasting peace.
