Nov 12, 2025 - Final Statement of the Gaza Tribunal Jury of Conscience

We, the undersigned members of the Jury of Conscience, hereby deliver this Statement of Findings and Moral Judgment at the final session of the Gaza Tribunal. The Jury, guided by conscience and informed by international law, does not speak with the authority of states, but when law is silenced by power, conscience must become the final tribunal. The Tribunal is not a court of law, so does not purport to determine guilt or liability of any person, organization or state.

Nov 11, 2025 - Trump’s ‘Peace’ in the Middle East, A Retrocolonialism Built on Sand

By Kevin Anderson

After two years, the guns are silent, at least for the most part. Long-suffering Palestinians are heading back to their hometowns and villages in Gaza, and the remaining Israeli hostages and some Palestinian prisoners (actually, hostages too) are being released. Meanwhile, the Israeli Knesset has toasted US autocrat Donald Trump as the hero of the hour, and Arab, Muslim, and Western European leaders - from the EU nations to Egypt, and from Turkey to the Gulf monarchies and Pakistan - have gathered to celebrate these developments, while also genuflecting to Trump.

Nov 9, 2025 - Political Sovereignty and Elbows Up

By Harry Glasbeek

How lucky were the Liberals when the last federal election season began? Very. Twin perceived threats came to their assistance.
Like all parties in trouble, they dumped their leader, Justin Trudeau, and selected another, Mark Carney. They crafted an image of Carney as a man who had dined and wined with the rich and makers and shakers of the world, as a canny businessman having served on the boards of several major corporations, and as a sound economist who had contributed to the public good when he served in the prestigious roles of governor of both the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England.

Nov 8, 2025 - Catherine Connolly Wins: An historic victory for the Irish left

By Paul Murphy

Catherine Connolly's resounding victory in the Irish presidential election is a watershed moment. It is the first time that the left has won a majority of votes in a national election. This was not a narrow victory either; Catherine won the largest percentage (63%) and largest total vote (914k) of any presidential candidate in history. The combined forces of the political and media establishment threw everything they could at Connolly to try to stop the momentum behind her campaign.

Nov 7, 2025 - Harvesting Olives Under the Occupation

By Uri Weltmann

It is the olive harvest season. Palestinian communities are preparing for it, as they have for generations. This is not only economically vital, but also a practice rooted in their history, culture, and traditions. However, not all Palestinian farmers can simply go to the family plot and collect the olives growing on the trees. In dozens of villages across the Occupied West Bank, Palestinians face harassment, beatings, and sometimes even fatal attacks, carried out by extremist Israeli settlers.
