On two previous occasions Israel sent its vaunted army into southern Lebanon only to be driven out by the Arab militia, Hezbollah, operating without tanks, without an air force, without air defense. It appears that it has now happened again. Israel has been stopped cold on the ground, causing the Israeli defense minister to announce... Read More
Major massacre as Israel attacks last functioning hospital in Gaza   “The attack on the Kamal Adwan hospital, located in Beit Lahia northwest of Jabalia, was launched around 2 a.m. local time Friday, shortly after a World Health Organization delegation left the hospital. “It began with airstrikes targeting the hospital and its courtyards, including the...

Americans who pay attention are critical of Israel for its control not only of US foreign policy but also US domestic policies, such as those regulating speech, and even tenure decisions of Catholic universities. CIA personnel have complained that attempts to rein-in Israeli spying on America have been politically blocked. John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt... Read More
When Israel committed its forces to Gaza, it was a perfect time for Hezbollah to attack and overrun Israel. But Hezbollah sat on its butt and pissed away its strategic advantage. Now after numerous Israeli strikes and communication device explosions, Hezbollah has lost most of its leadership. In Israel’s latest air strike on Beirut, Lebanon,... Read More
Former British Ambassador Craig Murray reports that in Britain honest news reporting of Israel’s destruction of Palestine is a felony for which journalists are arrested and face long prison sentences. In the US universities are gearing up to prevent any student protests of Israel’s destruction of Palestine. It is becoming ever more impossible to acknowledge... Read More
In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli colonial army has pushed the 2 million surviving Palestinians into an area of less than 15 square kilometers (less than 6 square miles). It continues bombing them. The obvious aim is to push the whole population into Egypt’s Sinai desert and to provide their land to illegal settlers. The... Read More
It is OK for Israel and Washington to escalate the situation, but not for Iran or Russia. Here is the way it works. Israel assassinates a Muslin leader on Iranian territory, and then the media goes into action calling on Iran not to escalate the situation. Iran doesn’t, and from Iran not “escalating the situation”... Read More
In 3 days Netanyahu, the epitome of evil, addresses the cowardly US Congress that he controls with fear and money. He will tell them that his extermination of Palestine will free Israel from terrorism, and Congress will give him 30 standing ovations. As Trump himself is in Israel’s pocket, how can he make America great... Read More
This confirms what I reported at the time, but there is more to the story. Not only did Israel know in advance, Israel participated in the attack upon itself. Several Israeli intelligence officials and commanders of sections of the barrier separating Israel from Gaza have made it clear that it is impossible to even approach,... Read More
Christian Evangelical Chuck Baldwin is the kind of leader America needs. He is intelligent, has integrity, and understands that good is in a battle with evil. A leader with these qualities is far more likely to have God on his side than a regime that enables genocide and foments wars and wrongful prosecutions. Possibly evil... Read More
This map series shows the progressive theft of Palestine by Zionist Israel since 1947, with the complicity of Washington and Europe. Where did all the Palestinians who lived in the green areas of Palestine, almost the entirety of Palestine, in 1947 go? They were herded into refuge camps in Jordan and Lebanon. The UN (second...

Western Civilization has long been under attack by its own intellectuals and professors. Is there anything left of it? I defend Western Civilization, but Is there any civilization left to defend when the leaders of Western governments endorse Genocide not only of the Palestinians but of their own white ethnicities and brand criticism of Palestinian... Read More
The US Congress has become an extension of the Israeli government. We don’t need a president. We have the Israel Lobby. The US House of Representatives just passed a bill that means prison for any Christian or anyone for that matter who quotes the Bible that says Jesus was handed over by Jews to Pontius... Read More
A 19th century plantation slave suffered less abuse than an American today and was less likely to have his head cracked open by a police baton than a Columbia University Student. Here are the lost rights of Americans from A to Z: Republican US senators are no better friends of the US Constitution than the... Read More
The conservative Republican Governor of Texas has equated student protests of Israel’s slaughter and genocide of the Palestinian to anti-semitism: On Wednesday afternoon, Gov. Greg Abbott vowed that the arrests of protesting students would continue until the crowd dispersed. “These protesters belong in jail. Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas. Period. Students joining in... Read More
Norman Finkelstein is perhaps America’s top expert on Israel. Finkelstein is himself a Jew, and his parents are “Holocaust survivors,” although his mother seems to have expressed doubts about the scale of the Holocaust. Finkelstein’s problem is that he is honest, and it has cost him heavily. The powerful Israel Lobby was able to reach... Read More
Axios reports that Biden told Netanyahu he won’t support retaliation against Iran. Washington is reportedly worried about a major escalation fraught with “catastrophic consequences” For many years Israel has been pushing Washington to attack Iran, and neoconservatives and Congress have been chomping at the bit to do so. If this report on Axios is correct,... Read More
Iran struck ‘important’ Israeli military targets – IRGC (VIDEOS) Multiple IDF sites have been “hit and destroyed,” the Islamic Republic’s Revolutionary Guard Corps has claimed Iran confirms ‘extensive’ strike against Israel Iran warns foreign nations against helping Israel counterattack Any country that provides air or land passage for West Jerusalem’s troops will face Tehran’s wrath,...

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is a conservative hero. Her CPAC speech was well received. Yet she doesn’t hesitate to pass legislation that turns the First Amendment into a hate crime. She has just had a law passed that turns “anti-semitism” into a hate crime. She says the law defines anti-semitism and will serve as... Read More
As I previously wrote, the Israeli/American intention is to expand the war against Hamas to Lebanon, Syria, and Iran. The expansion has begun. The latest news is that Israel has struck deep into Lebanon: “War Expands With Massive Israeli Airstrikes 60km Deep Into Lebanon,” The Arabs, likely restrained by Putin, have once again sat on... Read More
Rafah is the town that borders Egypt and the Sinai desert, where one million Palestinian refugees have fled to escape the merciless Israeli attacks against them. More than 100,000 Palestinian civilians, including 70,000 Palestinian women and children, have already been killed and wounded. Most of these poor refugees are literally starving to death because of... Read More
Will protesters ever learn that peaceful protests do not work when governments care not what people think and represent private agendas and not the people? The protests that work are the violent ones by Black Lives Matter and Antifa. It appears that one-tenth of a million Gazans have already been killed or maimed by the... Read More
Many Americans were enthusiastic about Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.’s campaign for president as an independent. But he turned off many of us when he said recently on TV that “the Palestinian people are arguably the most pampered group of people by international aid organizations in the world.” As a friend of mine said, “Considering that...

To be an American today is to collect a basket full of sadness. We have been at war forever for the profits of the military/security complex, for the hegemonic ideology of the neoconservatives, for Cold War hysteria, and for Israel. Huge sums of money have been wasted for no benefit to the American people. Just... Read More
As I expected, Washington is moving the conflict toward Iran. Washington chose this moment to escalate in order to direct the news away from Israel’s trial in the International Court of Justice. Regardless, Washington’s neoconservatives intended escalation from the beginning of the Israeli-Hamas war. It has been clear to me since 9/11 in 2001 that... Read More
I-am-an-Israeli Blinken, Israel’s Secretary of State for America, damned the case against Israel filed in the International Court of Justice as “meritless” and “galling” for two reasons. The case could stop the ongoing genocide of Palestinians prior to completion of the job, and the case also applies to the US which enables the genocide with... Read More
This is an unhappy message for Christmas Eve. The Biden Regime’s support for Israel’s brutal Genocide of the Palestinian people seems destined, as Mike Whitney points out , to lead to the expanded conflict that I have feared from the beginning. The outcome of the conflict will be affected by whether the Houthis strike first... Read More
The Biden regime has made it clear that the US government is Zionist. Biden is clearly not an American patriot. He sacrifices America’s welfare and reputation, what little of it remains, in behalf of Zionist Israel’s Genocide of the Palestinian people. Since 1947 Israel has been stealing Palestine from its owners and 2,000 year inhabitants.... Read More
All civilization has disintegrated, not just Western civilization. This fact is obvious from the entire world sitting watching, perhaps as entertainment as Romans watched death in the Colosseum, the Genocide of Gaza. The “moral democratic” US government rushes more bombs and money to enable Israel’s genocide of Palestine. European governments call the genocide “Israel’s right... Read More
In terms of costs and munitions, Washington, not Israel, is the main combatant against Gaza. On December 1 the Wall Street Journal reported that Washington has sent Israel 15,000 bombs and 57,000 artillery shells. Blinken the Hypocrite urged Netanyahu not to kill too many women and children with the arsenal provided courtesy of US taxpayers.... Read More
Those of us who were around for the Vietnam War remember the photo of Phan Thi Kim Phuc– “the napalm girl”– the naked, badly burned 9 year old girl fleeing the advancing bombing. Today, thanks to “the only democracy in the Middle East” and Israel’s Washington enabler, we watch on TV, in Pepe Escobar’s words,... Read More
Little Town of Bethlehem- by Francis A. Boyle, Professor of International Law Every Western institution has failed. Governments represent powerful material interests, not citizens. Universities and public schools are indoctrination centers against Western civilization and white people. Media is a propaganda ministry in behalf of official narratives. Law is no longer a shield of the... Read More
According to the Zionist propaganda Hamas is a collection of evil beasts. How do we reconcile this propaganda with the excellent condition of the Israeli women and children hostages released by Hamas? Despite the Israeli devastation of Gaza and murder of Palestinian women and children, Hamas has obtained a victory of sorts. Netanyahu’s vicious attack... Read More
If the prophets of ancient Israel such as Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Malachi and Amos were alive today, Benjamin Netanyahu would accuse them of anti-Semitism for daring to describe his government as a travesty of what the Mosaic covenant was all about. A common thread running throughout the Jewish Bible – Christianity’s Old Testament – was... Read More
Former British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn “was undone” by being accused of antisemitism. Ask yourself why anyone should be ruined by such a meaningless accusation. To be an anti-semite all you have to do is to make a criticism, no matter how small or how legitimate, of any Israeli policy. If your moral conscience... Read More
A fake news story planted two days ago, more than a month after Hamas’ attack, on the Washington Post is another building block of the narrative that supports the removal of Gazans to the Sinai Desert. According to the Washington Post, unidentified “intelligence officials” told the Post that Hamas’ intended its October 7 attack to... Read More
The extensive menu I prepared for readers today can wait until tomorrow. The interview with Michael Hudson brilliantly explains the past, present, and future. Read it three times. PCR Washington Has Decided that a Dominant US Presence in the Middle East Is the Key to US Hegemony and Much More Important than Palestinian Lives “To... Read More
The neoconservative/Netanyahu agenda of reopening the Middle East wars in the interest of Greater Israel has shoved Ukraine off the screen. The possibility of overthrowing Syria and Iran offers a much greater possibility of discomforting Russia. The neocons have wanted revenge on Putin ever since he stopped Obama’s overthrow of Assad, which, with Iraq already... Read More
What we are doing in Gaza we know how to do in Beirut,” declares Israeli Defense Minister. Putin could have prevented the coming world war by quickly dispatching Ukraine in 2014 and by providing air defense systems for Syria, Lebanon, and Gaza against Israel and Washington’s air strikes. I would be more optimistic that we... Read More
This report from M. K. Bhadrakumar in India via Consortium News — — indicates that my analysis of October 30, 2023, is correct that the October 7 Hamas attack was a reopening by US neoconservatives and Israel of the Middle Eastern Wars, the purpose of which is to remove Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran as barriers... Read More
According to Iran’s PressTV, the Iranian defense minister announced that the US “will be hit hard” it Israel’s war on Gaza does not halt. It is unclear why the defense minister’s target is the US and not Israel. By US he probably means US bases in Syria and Iraq. Add this puzzle to the growing... Read More
The US, Israel, and Europe Have Released Evil on the World and Putin Thinks He Can Make Peace with Evil The Director of the NY Office of UN High Commissioner of Human Rights just resigned: “Once again, we are seeing a genocide unfolding before our eyes, and the Organization that we serve appears powerless to... Read More
The latest reports support my thesis that the Israeli-Hamas Conflict is a Continuation of the 9/11 Plot. This article from the Israeli newspaper Haaretz describes the enormous amounts of arms and ammunition Washington is assembling around Israel and reports the arrival of transport ships and aircraft for evacuations of Americans from the Middle East. This... Read More
This is not a conspiracy theory. It is the most likely explanation we have of the information at this time. The Hamas October 7 attack on Israel was the opening gun of a plot devised by US neoconservatives and Netanyahu to renew the US attack on Hezbollah’s suppliers in behalf of Greater Israel. Greater Israel... Read More
Each of us faces each day threats to our health, happiness, and life. Overarching it all, we collectively face death from nuclear weapons. The development of nuclear weapons was a human stupidity. They cannot be used, but their existence threatens the life of the planet. So why have them? Accident, emotional response, loss of reason... Read More
Israel is talking tough–“Israel vows to cut off ‘the head of the snake’ and launch a military attack against Iran if Hezbollah joins the war with Hamas” ( ). But it is only the economics minister talking, not a military one or Netanyahu. The Israeli military is good at murdering children, women and old men... Read More
The Biden regime refuses to defend US borders but does not hesitate to rush aircraft carrier task forces and the 101st US Airborne Division to defend Israel’s borders. “We have Israel’s back,” endlessly proclaims America’ Jewish Secretary of State. “America can afford two wars,” proclaims America’s Jewish Secretary of the Treasury. But forget protecting our... Read More
On October 9, 2023, I posted this: What follows purports to be a description of the impenetrable Israeli security barrier around Gaza written by a former commander of a section of the fence. Whether it is or not, the description of the security barrier provided can be checked. It seems impossible that Hamas could have... Read More
Based on a report from Moscow by John Helmer
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova asked: “How did it happen that in a year; that’s how much time the operation was being prepared for, then carried out now in a few days, the United States as Israel’s closest ally did not warn about this? They have satellites everywhere, appropriate tracking devices, military bases, including in... Read More
I am being asked about the Israeli-Palestine conflict, which seems to be taking attention away from the Ukraine-Russia conflict. People, by which I mean people who pay attention, are wondering why the Palestinians would attack Israel like this as it provides Netanyahu with an excuse to grab the remaining bits of Palestine and destroy the...
