If we remain dependent on US dictates and cues, we are merely subjects of an empire, discounting our own sense of agency and our own internal dynamics.
Europe now knows that a genocide has been committed. This paradigm shift is unlikely to be reversed, regardless of whether Luxembourg’s bureaucrats manage to delay the inevitable.
To break this paradigm, Palestinians must generate leverage—real leverage. This cannot come from futile negotiations or appeals to long-ignored international law.

Is Israel’s trajectory toward isolation and collapse self-inflicted, and has Zionism reached the point of no return?
This is what Tolstoy meant when he challenged historians to look beyond rulers and to focus instead on the countless human actions that actually produce historical change.
Joe Kent’s resignation is not an anomaly but an alarm: elite dissent is surfacing early because this war is built on deception.
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth appears to have little patience for questions that do not conform to his preferred style of declaring unsubstantiated victories, whether against South Americans or in the Middle East.
Israel and the US launched war expecting dominance, but shifting geopolitics and regional resistance are reshaping power across the Middle East.
Though they speak of the war’s failure, very few in mainstream media have taken what should have been the obvious moral position.
The US-Israeli aggression on Iran is destabilizing the region while weakening Washington and creating strategic openings for Russia and China.
Israel’s war on Iran reveals a deeper crisis: the collapse of a psychological doctrine built on fear and invincibility.
Washington’s war on Iran ignores the lessons written in the devastation of Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
