U.S. President-elect Donald Trump wasted no time nominating potential cabinet members and other members of his second administration. Trump’s selections departed from how he chose cabinet members for his 2017-21 presidency. It is clear he and his advisers are specifically choosing hard-right personal “loyalists” and fascist-minded ideologues, while ignoring many GOP functionaries who joined his…

Even Israeli Prime Minister…

Palestine, the War and the Arabs The Russia-Ukraine war starting in February, pressured many political entities,…
Until recently, Israeli politics did not matter to Palestinians. Though the Palestinian people maintained their political agency under the most demoralizing conditions, their collective action rarely influenced outcomes in Israel, partly due to the massive discrepancy of power between the two sides.

If that history is any guide, the change of guard neither portends better treatment of working people nor a reduction of the threat of fascism.…
In a recent TV discussion, a respected pro-Palestine journalist declared that if any positive change or transformation ever occurs in the tragic Palestinian saga, it would not happen now, but that it would take a whole new generation to bring about such a paradigm shift. As innocuous as the declaration may have seemed, it troubled…

More than six months after the International Criminal Court’s chief prosecutor sought arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister and defense minister, a ruling was finally issued Thursday.
