Successive United Nations investigations have documented Israel's genocide, yet western regimes still refuse to name it or deliver the accountability their own institutions demand by Hossam Shaker Part 3 - The margins, not the centre Those faltering positions gave the strong impression that they were conferring moral immunity on the perpetrator, namely the Israeli leadership and its regular army. Prevailing European and western criticism was limited to only two reckless ministers from the Israeli government, which amounts to little, since Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich are already constantly criticised within Israeli circles. Meanwhile, the government and the political leadership more broadly continue to escape direct criticism, even after the accumulation of filmed atrocities and the issuance of an International Criminal Court arrest warrant for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu himself. This evasion becomes even clearer when criticism, along with some sanctions of limited e...

Iraq, Syria and the US plan to revive a historic 500-mile pipeline to Syria's Mediterranean coast as part of efforts to reduce Iran’s control of the Strait of Hormuz, senior Iraqi and regional officials have told Middle East Eye . An agreement to revive the pipeline, originally running from the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk to Syria’s coastal town of Baniyas, is expected to be unveiled next week when Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi meets US President Donald Trump at the White House, the sources told MEE. Tom Barrack, Trump’s ambassador to Turkey and envoy to Syria and Iraq, has been working on the details of the agreement before Zaidi’s visit, which is also expected to include a stop in Texas, the US's energy hub state.  The senior Iraqi official told MEE that Barrack has developed a good working relationship with Zaidi and wants to use the pipeline as a model for business projects in the Levant that he has trumpeted as benefiting the US and local governments.  The pipeline ...

globinfo freexchang   A report from early July at the Atlantic Council - one of the top US imperialist think tanks - website, confirms the long-term strategy of the US empire concerning Iran. Which in short, is to buy time in order to prepare for permanent war until regime change. Only a few excerpts from the report are more than enough for someone to understand the deeper plan, unfolding in plain sight. Furthermore, it reveals that the brains of Washington's warhawks are set up for permanent war and are completely incapable of thinking different alternatives that would not necessarily include more violence and destruction. As we read:                   More significantly, the regime, following its longstanding approach, has successfully created a “new normal” in which Iranian actions that would have previously been considered casus belli now have been redefined below the threshold of war. Every US president since Jimmy Carter and Ronal...

The Jimmy Dore Show   Russell Dobular and Revolutionary Blackout Network’s Nick Cruse examine Donald Trump's negative comments about Communism, using them as a starting point for a broader debate comparing the economic and political systems of the United States and China. They argue that China's development, infrastructure, and anti-corruption policies have produced better outcomes for many citizens while criticizing inequality, healthcare, and public investment in the U.S. They also discuss the historical legacy of Mao Zedong, the Chinese Revolution, and the role of state planning in China's modernization, while reflecting on public opinion Russell observed during his travels. The conversation concludes by contrasting government intervention in the U.S. economy with China's model, arguing that both major parties increasingly rely on state involvement while serving different interests.

Ben Norton explains how the extreme inequality in the US make its average wealth misleadingly look high, and why GDP per capita is not a good measurement. He debunks the myth of "Europoors", which is often spread by Donald Trump supporters.

Useful Idiots   Abby Martin, journalist and filmmaker behind the Empire Files, Gaza Fights for Freedom, and Cuba After Castro, returns to Useful Idiots on the premiere day of her bold new film: Earth’s Greatest Enemy. The new documentary examines how the Pentagon, exempt from international climate agreements or emissions laws and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting, is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon, contaminating water, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Martin went deep into Washington as well as into the communities and ecosystems it destroyed in order to expose the truth about the US military and put pressure on its most powerful conspirators, from bought-out politicians like Nancy Pelosi to squirming army officials to corporate profiteers like Palantir’s Alex Karp. In this interview, Abby recounts the most shocking discoveries she and her team made while unraveling the story and filming where the military didn’t want them to be f...
