Mukul Kesavan NB: The irredeemable racism of the Anglo-American establishment is on full display in the observations of the Chief Editor of The Economist. They remind me of the phrase “life unworthy of life” (Lebensunwertes Leben), the Nazi designation for those human beings who, according to Hitler and Co., had no right to live. Well… Read More Grotesque priorities
Mehmet Rakipoglu Exeter, UK (Special to Informed Comment; Feature) – Debates about Palestine in the Western academia often portray contemporary Israeli policies as exceptional responses to security ‘threats’ or regional instability. Yet a longer historical perspective suggests a deeper structural continuity: the persistence of colonial logic under evolving institutional and discursive forms. From the British… Read More Israel’s Enduring Colonial Project in Palestine
I bow out of my role for the organisation at a perilous time for the international law. There are consequences not just for Palestinians, but the wider Middle East.. It is incomprehensible that a UN entity has been allowed to be crushed as Unrwa has, in violation of international law, with total impunity, and with… Read More Israel has crushed Unrwa in Gaza – and the rest of the world has done nothing
Five soldiers were indicted over alleged violent abuse and rape of Palestinian man at detention centre in 2024. Israel’s military attorney general just gave his soldiers licence to rape, so long as the victim is Palestinian. “By abandoning the charges, the Israeli military has made clear that those who engage in the torture of Palestinians… Read More Israeli military drops charges against soldiers accused of Gaza detainee abuse
NB: These are the kinds of bestial personality spawned by Zionism: monsters devoid of the slightest empathy for their fellow human beings. And Israel is the lawless state which has been funded, armed and protected by Western establishments for decades, aided and abetted by their Arab puppets. There will be no going back: the hypocrtical… Read More As a Palestinian Father Struggled to Save One Son, a Uniformed Settler Shot His Other Son, Too

The principle governing constitutional free speech doctrine in the United States, the article grandly proclaimed, was that of “liberty”.… Read More Germany’s erosion of constitutional dignity
The Trump administration is receiving pushback for its celebratory tone in describing the US strikes in Iran. In recent interviews, the president joked that it is ‘more fun’ to sink Iranian warships than to seize them, while the defense secretary boasted that ‘we are punching [the Iranians] while they’re down, which is exactly how it… Read More Trump team treating Iran war as spectacle
NB: The foundational idea of this country is that the genocide of Palestinians is divinely ordained. So many members of the Israeli public is also revelling in the violence. Thus has God been recast as a vampire. We are grateful to Israeli journalists and intellectuals such as Amira Haas for upholding our faith in humanity.… Read More How Israel’s Silent Majority Is Letting West Bank Palestinians Be Driven Out
Hanin Majadli Israelis believe that Israel and the U.S. are fighting for democracy, freedom and human rights in Iran, but if human rights were their guiding principle, the state of affairs would not be as it is in the West Bank, and the Gaza war would not have reached the dimensions of genocide.

NB: The BJP/RSS rulers shout from the rooftops about their ‘deshbhakti’ (nation-worship); and the iron will of their leaders. But their foreign policy – unlike Nehruvian non-alignment – has always been guided by a hatred of socialism coupled with pro-Western alliances. They supported the American imperialist aggression in Vietnam as a ‘dharm-yuddha‘ or holy war.… Read More India’s strategic autonomy faces its acid test in West Asia / ये विषगुरू ने अमेरिका से इजाजत मांगी ही क्यों
