American Media Keep Citing "Zaka" — Though Its October 7 Atrocity Stories Are Discredited
Given its prominence, Zaka has been scrutinized by the Israeli press but not the U.S. media. A blockbuster Haaretz report found after October 7, senior military leaders sidelined Israel Defense Forces soldiers specializing in recovering bodies and preserving evidence and sent in untrained Zaka volunteers instead. Zaka reportedly turned massacre sites into a “war room for donations,” used corpses as fundraising props, “spread accounts of atrocities that never happened,” and botched forensics t...

Joe Biden and the Gaza war
This Netanyahu, supported by the extremists in his cabinet and among his followers, disavows the US President at every opportunity. Recently, there have been repeated signs that he is not at all opposed to the idea of a "second Nakba" - a forced emigration of the Gaza population to Egypt and elsewhere. "Hamas must be destroyed, Gaza must be demilitarized."...

Hamas: War of Starvation in Gaza ‘Disgrace to Humanity’
“The international [community’s] inability and the American cover for the crime of starvation that the occupation uses as a weapon to achieve political goals is a disgrace to humanity that history will not erase, even if the American administration hides behind misleading statements about the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip,” Hamas said in a statement. “It will not absolve it of its responsibility and participation in war crimes committed against defenseless civilians,” Hamas added....

Hunger-Stricken Gazans Brave Israeli Fire For Bags Of Flour
What is happening in the Gaza Strip with the occupation is ethnic cleansing. When aid reaches Gaza City, the army opens fire, resulting in casualties and injuries among the people. Since its establishment in 1948, Israel, for the first time, has been accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, the highest judicial body of the United Nations, for its war against Gaza. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to provide and guarantee ...

Academic From Gaza: We Started At Islamic University In Tents, We May Have To Start Again
"We have the will and faith in our ability to resume the educational process immediately after the war ends, and we have done so before," he said. "I was at the Islamic University (at its founding in 1978), and we started there from tents, and we can return from tents again."...

School Globe Model for Infrastructural Global Warming
What about if the global warming is now not only in the atmosphere and on the surface, but 1.5 *C or more is the geophysical warming inside the Earth. This is the theoretical conception with some practical cases in our reality. Let the Earth be bigger than earlier, 4.5 bln years ago, in the Expanding Earth Theory [search in Internet] process with nuclear-thermic mechanism for its widening. This means with the radius of the planet longer now of about 70 % than in the beginning of expansion. I...

Talking to the left
Developing a common transformational project and building counter-power remains the central task of the left. Especially in areas of social infrastructure, such as housing and healthcare, profit maximization has a particularly devastating effect. The strategy of socialization, i.e. the transfer of private property into democratic structures, can provide orientation here....

Dear Mr. High Commissioner: Help Free Assange!
Mr. Assange is a defender of human rights; an innovative journalist and creative publisher; he is one of us. He should not be locked up but standing with us in our office.

Learning for life
The winners of the digital revolution include hairdressers, plumbers, care and service workers and professions that have something to do with creativity and responsibility (1). It's starting to work in my head. If that is the case, then it is fair to ask whether we still need compulsory education. Why should we all be forced to go to school and learn things that we don't need in our lives?...

The Indispensable Opponent
The West's hostility towards China has increased since China's engine began to stutter. At the same time, the US government is pumping massive amounts of money into the economy and has thus been able to prevent an impending recession for the time being, but is far from regaining its former role as a global engine of growth....

Christ among the rubble
"Inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me." So said Jesus according to the Gospel. Now the people in Gaza are not to be underestimated. But from a Christian perspective, they are our brothers and sisters. So why are large parts of the "Christian West" not coming to their aid, not even raising a timid voice of protest?...

John Pilger warns of a new fascism
Democracy is now fictitious. There is the all-powerful business elite that has merged with the state and its claims to "identity". US admirals are paid thousands of dollars a day by Australian taxpayers for "advice". Across the West, our political imaginations have been soothed by PR and distracted from the machinations of corrupt politicians who can be had extremely cheaply....

Instrumental Reason and Left Politics
In the neoliberal variant of capitalism, postmodern pluralism dominates and with it a reason that is no longer trusted to understand the whole.. For instrumental reason, the actual world is always the best of all possible worlds since the question of a better world cannot arise in it. No problem arises that makes another, not yet existing world necessary or desirable....
