Neoconservative Ideology in the Trump White House. U.S. Military Power, Torture and the Defense of Israel

By Timothy Alexander Guzman, April 02, 2018

The Jewish State Itself Is Unjustifiable and Inexcusable – Not Just What’s Happening in Gaza Now

By Rima Najjar, April 02, 2018

You can justify what’s happening now to Palestinians in Gaza only if you can justify our Nakba – the violent establishment of a Jewish state in Palestine in 1948 against the will of Palestinian non-Jewish Arabs, the vast majority at the time.

By Robert J. Burrowes, April 02, 2018

Despite the vastly more perilous state of our planet, many people and organizations around the world are following in the footsteps of Gandhi, King and other nonviolent luminaries like Silo, and are engaged in what is effectively a last ditch stand to end the violence and put humanity on a path to peace, justice and sustainability.
