The US press and politicians are trying to fit the attacks on Gaza into a Zero Dark Thirty mold, but it’s something much simpler—and sinister.

The uprising began on the anniversary of another one, which had become a revolution.  The occupying power had had informants throughout the ghetto, but

Israel has long preferred force to peace, segregation to equality. Its brutal air strikes on Gaza are a continuation of that policy — and will do nothing to bring peace and dignity to civilians on both sides.

Since the state of Israel’s founding, its leaders and supporters have sought acceptance among other states as a peer, and legitimacy in the eyes of the

From the “throne” of Parliament, one of the richest men in the world read a speech written by one of the richest men in Canada. This was heralded as a victory for Canadian identity and sovereignty against threats by another rich and anti-democratic man in Washington DC. What does this mean for the rest of us?  King Charles inherited the wealth created by the enslaved and colonized people the world over.

Even to the Conservative Leader’s friends, it can be difficult to tell where the persona ends and the core principles begin

Carney has made it clearer than ever that he will be a conservative prime minister, governing on behalf of the rich and powerful to maintain their grip on Canadian society. Many thousands of progressive voters were clearly misled into thinking otherwise. This underscores that even as Poilievre lost the election, he won the ideological debate within the Liberal Party.

Over the past five years, exercise of the fundamental freedom of speech in Canada has been curbed and discouraged by a federal government increasingly intolerant of even the mildest criticism or dissent. Particularly affected have been organizations dependent on government funding which advocate for human rights and women’s equality. Their voices have been stifled, some completely silenced, by cuts to their budgets. Also financially throttled have been individuals and groups that speak out for reproductive rights, humanitarian immigration policies, and for changes in Canada’s foreign policy in the Middle East.

Canadian politics scholar Dave Whitson explains how the Harper government's stubborn, ideological distaste for social science has undermined both the effectiveness and spirit of Canada's once robust public service.

A study by the Angus Reid Institute has found that favourability of Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre decreases the more educated one is.
