Joint open letter on transfer of 155mm artillery shells to Israel
155mm artillery shells do not serve legitimate defense needs and pose a grave risk to civilians. Under the current circumstances, granting the government of Israel access to these munitions would undermine the protection of civilians, respect for international humanitarian law, and the credibility of the Biden administration. For these reasons, we strongly urge you to withhold authorization for this transfer of 155mm artillery shells to the government of Israel....

The military will not solve a single problem
Solidarity could also be understood & implemented differently: as a concept that reduces violence and aims at protecting human lives in concrete terms. This includes not only refugee aid, humanitarian aid & all conceivable diplomacy. It is also important to examine whether social resistance measures planned for the short term make sense in this highly escalated situation....

"A total mockery of international law"
Article 51 of the UN Charter clearly states that whoever is attacked militarily has such a right of defense. This is true in this case as well: Israel can defend itself against Hamas' attack, but this comes with the caveat that such defense must always be proportionate....

How can we regain peace and how can we keep it?
There is no doubt that Mahatma Gandhi is right. Peace does not come from the motivation of fear, on the contrary, only from the strength of one’s own person; through loyalty to oneself, and through the courage to have one’s own conscience. In Indian: Satyagraha (persistent adherence to the truth), “think for yourself” Kant would have said, “remain yourself.”...

From war to ecocide in Ukraine: these are the global consequences
Today peasants are fighting and dying in the war. They have lost everything. The processes of free land sale and purchase are increasingly liberalized and advertised. This threatens the rights of Ukrainians to their land, for which they give their lives. This portends that an industrial model of agriculture will prevail in Ukraine, based on large-scale monoculture farming,...

The refugee crises were triggered by warmongers
Preventing wars and sanctions would have a preventive effect against refugee movements. But once people are here, they must be treated with dignity. Racism does not solve the problems and it is rather a smokescreen behind which geopolitical causes can be hidden....

On Peace and Security. 1934
There is no way to peace on the way to security. For peace must be ventured, is the one great venture, and can never, ever be secured. Peace is the opposite of security. To demand security is to have mistrust, and this mistrust in turn gives birth to war. Seeking security means wanting to protect oneself....

Ice Age: How Russia is Demonized and Why That is So Dangerous
A serious exit strategy has to deal with two crucial realities. First, the war in Ukraine is not an exclusively Ukrainian-Russian affair, but another proxy war between Russia on the one hand and the political West. Secondly: As long as either side assumes it can win the war militarily - whatever that may mean in concrete terms - there is little willingness to negotiate....
