- at 7/25/24 10:00pmThere’s no mention of their duty to the people in the oath of office that members of Congress take.

Maybe, in some regard defending the Constitution would mean doing their job: representing the people that elected them. But today, the Continue reading "A Standing Ovation for Genocide" The post A Standing Ovation for Genocide appeared first on Antiwar.com.
- — What’s Behind Israel’s War Against UNRWA?
- at 7/24/24 10:00pmTargeting a school during a war could be justified as, or at least argued, to have been a mistake. But striking over 120 schools, and killing and wounding thousands of civilians sheltering inside, can only be intentional, with each attack a horrific war crime in its own right.

- at 7/18/24 10:00pmMuch has been written about the political earthquakes in Britain and France, the first resulting in the crushing defeat of the Conservative Party and the latter in the overpowering of the far right, by a largely leftist coalition.

- at 7/18/24 10:00pmThough hope, which has raised its head before only to be decapitated, may be too optimistic a word, recent changes in tone, coming from many parties to the conflict, forecast the chance that negotiations to end the war on Ukraine are, at least, peaking above the horizon.

- at 7/16/24 10:00pmThe American-led isolation of Iran is springing leaks all over. It seems that wherever Iran knocks, everyone answers. Except the United States. Instead, the U.S. continues to close the door, following a long pattern with Iran of undermining its own interests. In 2016, Bahrain followed Saudi Arabia in cutting ties with Iran.
