It would be very strange for the ICJ to demand a cease-fire for several reasons. First, this is an interim ruling - not a definitive ruling. Basically...
There was already a lot evidence for the blocked negotiations in March/April, and this is simply another piece to add to that pile. Chalyi doesn't men...
It's impossible to say what is going on on the ground in Gaza currently, but I've been skeptical about Israel's chances of success, and prior to the t...
As I said, I'm not playing the game of who gets to claim the moral high ground. It goes without saying that neither side deserves any prizes in that r...
Resistance movements are simply a result of an occupation. Their tactics are tried and true, and yes, brutal. Sadly, brutal are also the tactics of th...
Of course. This has nothing to do with Israel's right to exist. What I'm laying out is how Israel can continue to exist, or, if it stays on the road i...
We can go back further if you'd like. Israel's refusal to enact and sabotage of UNSC resolutions towards a two-state solution started all the way back...
Not really. Hamas acts in the way resistance movements always act. Like the Viet Cong, the Taliban, etc. It's a given. Israel won't be the first natio...
Israel controls Greater Israel. There are currently millions of Palestinians under illegal Israeli occupation. So yes, obviously they're the ones who ...
These accusations are weak. Apparently I care enough to warn of the danger Israel is putting itself in down the line. I'd love to hear your arguments ...
I'm well aware that this is a problem - perhaps the central problem. Equal rights for Palestinians is not compatible with the idea of a Jewish nation ...
I would argue it's a bit more complicated than that. Israel's land grab of 1967, while illegal, can reasonably understood as Israel attempting to find...
That's what I've been doing. I've given you reasons for why Israel is not acting in its own self-interest. For 75 years their policies have failed, ut...
I'd say the significance of this ruling lies in the fact that the ICJ has not dismissed the case and is essentially acknowledging there is a present r...
I've linked you the Ukrainian former officials, one of whom was part of the Ukrainian delegation involved with the negotiations, telling us that the a...
The only ones clinging onto fig leaves are those who, understandably, have a hard time coming to terms with the fact that the West (read: the US and U...
Yep, and unlike the US, Israel cannot retreat across an ocean and pretend nothing ever happened. It will be stuck in the middle of said trainwreck. I ...
When I point out the realities of a situation, that doesn't mean nihilism, that means realism. You can believe Hamas should not do what it does, but i...
Of course that's resistance. It's hardly anything new in terms of what resistance movements have gotten up to historically. You can argue for a moral ...
Right. Hamas has to stop its resistance, and then the US has to impose an ultimatum to force Israel to adopt the two-state solutoin? First, Hamas isn'...
Well, I disagree, obviously. I believe Palestinian radicalism is created by Israel's behavior, much in the same line argues. But ultimately where it c...
It doesn't matter where you believe Palestinian radicalism comes from. The reality of the situation is that roughly as many Palestinians as Israelis l...
Moral arguments aside, it should be obvious that Israel is creating radicalism through its oppression. Israel can argue for the moral high ground unti...
He points towards the fact that every Israeli government since 1967 has supported the Israeli settlement policy and thereby intentionally sought to ma...
The behavior that attracts the harshest criticism has nothing to do with Israel protecting itself. (occupation, apartheid, settlements, etc.) Like any...
Israel is considered a belligerent occupier of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPT) and the Golan Heights since 1967 under international law. A ...
They should start with carrying out the dozens of (legally binding) UNSC resolutions calling them, among other things, to stop settling the West Bank,...
The peace talks in March/April 2022 which were blocked by the West. The contents of that peace talk were already known to us via the accounts of, for ...
If the Russians were really interested in conquest, why would they negotiate a peace in the opening stages of their invasion where they gave back occu...
Don't think of it as alternative terminology, but using accurate language, and demand from others also that they use accurate language. Don't allow a ...
What I think is important most of all, is to stop talking about "the Jews" as though it is some monolithic entity. Actors like the Netanyahu governmen...
In terms of foreign policy he can hardly do worse than the Biden administration. An isolationist America might actually produce a peaceful putting asl...

Ukrainian official: Johnson Forced Kyiv to Refuse Russian Peace Deal (The European Conservative) This is the reason. The UK belongs to the Anglosphere...
Quite so. It's an abomination, sadly. I think if Europe wants to remain functional and sovereign, it needs to replace the EU with an entirely differen...
For one, we don't get to vote for the leader of the European Union - in this case Von Der Leyen - or other EU organs like the European Central Bank. T...
Hmm. Maybe, but what enemy would that be? In the period between 1999 - 2013 Putin tried very hard to have good relations with the West. To a large ext...
So far the Houthi don't appear to be backing down. Honestly, I get the feeling the US and allies are falling for a trap here. Bombing campaigns are th...
For a closer example of what looming fascism might look like, I would look at what is happening in Poland right now under Donald Tusk. Unsurprisingly,...
Speaking of apartheid and genocide, this is currently taking place in Israel with either "unconditional support" or tacit approval of virtually every ...
In my opinion, this complacency and decadence we see within the EU is a post-Cold War thing. During the Cold War we had proper armies - way larger tha...
The EU has a combined GDP rougly equal to the US, and roughly ten times greater than Russia. If Europe were even to remotely get its act together, the...
I'll agree. The Biden administration looks like a set of children playing with fire, and where I had sort of expected some foreign policy veterans to ...
