Hundreds of thousands of Israelis protested this weekend to demand a ceasefire following the deaths of six more hostages in Gaza, but Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to reject the terms of a deal that would remove Israeli troops from southern Gaza. This comes after nearly 11 months of Israel's war on Gaza, which has killed over 40,000 Palestinians in the territory, according to local health authorities.

Western powers want cash-strapped 
It's wild when you realize that nobody can actually articulate a reason why Israel should be supported that is both logically coherent and morally defensible. | Westerners grow up being indoctrinated with the understanding that this tiny country in the middle east is super duper important and needs to be supported and defended at all cost, but if you examine the reasons given for why this is so as an adult, you find that none of them really hold water. | "Israel is the only place where Jews can be safe!" | This is clearly false.

By The Anti Empire Project — Ago 30, 2024 | A review of Yahya Sinwar's novel, The Thorn and the Carnation | At the end of the 2021 war, a Hamas leader gave a speech among the carnage of Gaza.

By Julia Kassem — Aug 30, 2024 | As was described in an earlier article, the Uncommitted Project was an exercise in ultimately garnering support for the Democratic party among constituents disillusioned by the genocide in Gaza. | With more than ever convergence between the Democratic and Republican establishment on domestic and international positions and policy, changes in the level of public opinion on Palestine, while irrelevant with the ruling class support of the Zionist entity and still a minority in the public opinion of Americans as a whole, serves as a barometer for how said ruling class sends its…

Russians Advancing on Selidovo | If this was a boxing match and there was a competent referee, this war would be called over — Technical Knock Out (TKO). The carnage Russia is inflicting on Ukraine is growing with each passing day. A year ago, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported an average of 700 Ukrainian casualties a day. Now, that number exceeds 2,000 a day — killed and wounded. The problem confronting Ukrainian commanders is the lack of trained reserves that could be plugged into failing battle lines.

The US corporate media have largely ignored the constitutional crisis in France, where President Macron refuses to respect the recent election results, leaving the country without a legitimate government for nearly two months. Despite the historic impasse, media coverage remains subdued. Macron's claims of preserving "institutional stability" go unchallenged, while the left coalition's willingness to compromise is questioned, with little critical reporting from major news outlets. Despite sparse coverage by some outlets, there is a lack of comprehensive reporting on the situation.
The impact of losing access to healthcare is starkly illustrated by the example of pregnant women in Gaza, estimated at 50,000 when the war began.
