Given the recent pro-Palestinian protests around the world and on many university campuses, it seems strange if not surprising that neither genocide nor the continuing flow of U.S. weapons to Israel were mentioned during the first (and maybe only) 2024 presidential debate. Nor did the New York Times Editorial Board see fit to cite complicity in genocide while calling for Biden to step down after his poor debate performance. Instead, it declared that Biden has been "an admirable president." 
Many war stories end with hunger wreaking havoc on significant portions of a population.

Big news in both Israel and Ukraine. Let's start with Israel. The intrepid Haaretz reporters delivered a gut punch to Bibi Netanyahu and his persistent effort to blame all the Israeli deaths on October 7 on Hamas terrorism. Gaza Division operations and airstrikes in the first hours of October 7 were based on limited information. The first long moments after the Hamas attack was launched were chaotic. Reports were coming in, with their significance not always clear. When their meaning was understood, it was realized that somet…
The most staggering feature of these elections, leaving aside the ritualistic savaging of the Tories, was the wholly lopsided nature of the share of votes relative to the winning of seats. "This election," the Electoral Reform Society solemnly declared, "saw Labour and the Conservatives receive their joint lowest vote share on record, with a combined 57.4%." That did not prevent the two major parties from snaring the lion's share. Labour received 33.7% of the vote yet obtained 63.2% (411 seats) of the 650 on offer, making it the most disproportionate on record. The Tories, despite the bloodbath, could still count…

Fifth Great Uncle Charles Thomson | Today, July 4th, is supposed to be celebrated as Independence Day in the United States. It commemorates the victory of Britain's American colonies in declaring their Independence from British colonial rule and becoming a new nation no longer beholden to the King of England. Sadly, the people of the United States have largely forgotten their revolutionary roots. By the start of the 20th Century, the United States was in the process of becoming the very thing it rebelled against — a colonial empire. In the wake of World War II, noveau colonialism captured U.S. foreign po…

On screen, Biden looked and sounded like a somnambulist whose only connection to politics was a haphazard, recited laundry list of federal programs that have saved everyone from unwed mothers to homeless veterans, but at least the president came to the debate with malice toward none (Gazans might have been the exception), while from the other lectern Trump was little more than a fountain of bile. 
In Louisiana's "Cancer Alley," where the air is thick with pollutants and asthma rates are alarmingly high, a troublesome irony is unfolding.

Wherever he travels globally, President Biden has sought to project the United States as the rejuvenated leader of a broad coalition of democratic nations seeking to defend the "rules-based international order" against encroachments by hostile autocratic powers, especially China, Russia, and North Korea.

Last week's Biden-Trump debate harmed U.S. foreign policy, and the international community was left to debate what was said and what was left unsaid. In view of the harmful potential for wider wars in East Europe and the Middle East in addition to the potential for China's increased military pressure on Taiwan, it is shocking that only ten minutes of the 90-minute debate was devoted to national security policy. The inept CNN moderators—Jake Tapper and Dana Bash—were partly responsible because of the dearth of questions on foreign policy. Nevertheless, the answers provided by President Joe Biden and fo…

If you hadn't read the news in four years — or just arrived from another galaxy — the Supreme Court's de facto grant of immunity to Donald Trump for his alleged federal crimes might sound almost reasonable.

Climate change is, by far, the biggest story of our era, an existential threat that has already profoundly affected life on Earth and promises to change it even more radically over the next few centuries.

I grew up south of Indianapolis on the glacier-smoothed plains of central Indiana.

As in Palestine, much of the displacement in West Papua is caused by settlers, but this time funded by the World Bank. Respectably called "transmigration" and officially lasting until 2015, this policy affects Kalimantan, Sumatra, Sulawesi, and Maluku but, above all, West Papua because the transmigrants aren't Melanesian, so the possibility of ethnic and religious strife is high. 
The guardrails of democracy have been blasted into dust.
