#solidarity with the Philosophical Faculty of the University of Belgrade. My banner image I took there not long ago - which translates to “it is not philosophical to remain silent.” It would be a good banner for the Philosophy Department, Harvard University. www.danas.rs/vesti/drustv...

“The ASA resolution…reaches the academic world. And in the academic world it shifted attention from Israeli crimes, and crucially US support for them, to the general question about academic freedom.” Noam Chomsky, in N Chomsky and Ilan Pappe, On Palestine, p93.

Let’s not forget how all this started - with the protest movement initiated by the young against complicity in the genocide against Gaza. Academic freedom is an important issue. But remember THE issue is genocide and our approval, complicity, and facilitation of it. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/u...

“Consternation is growing in Washington that Australia's reluctance to even discuss using the attack submarines against China means that transferring them out of the U.S. fleet to Australia would hurt deterrence efforts in the Indo Pacific, according to experts and documents.”

It’d be kinda ironic if Netanyahu were to visit Belgrade with Washington’s blessing.

“Michael Waltz, the national security adviser, has said a new agreement with the Trump administration must deal with everything, and that Iran’s vast nuclear facilities must be completely dismantled.” Insisting on CVID will lead to an Iranian bomb like North Korea. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/09/u...

“Netanyahu…said if diplomacy could prevent Tehran from ever getting nuclear weapons ‘in a full way, the way it was done in Libya, I think that would be a good thing.’” Surely we’re not going to CVID our way to an Iranian bomb like we did to a North Korean bomb? www.reuters.com/world/us-ira...

Dutton’s backflips look as if the Libs don’t have any stable policies. That impression would be misleading. The Libs have stable policies, only they’re keeping them up their sleeves because like Agenda 2025 they’re mean, nasty, hateful, policies best kept hidden.

Is Steven Pinker the lead campaigner against the Zionist-Trump assault on free speech and free association at America’s universities? If he isn’t I’d like some - enlightenment now.

Norman Finkelstein opens by making two points. The assault on American universities is presented in the mainstream media has having begun with Trump, yet its origins precede him. The assault is based - predictably- on turning the idiom of safe spaces against the Left. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo41...

The great powers are against the students because their plans for Serbia are inconsistent with democracy. They want to exploit her natural resources and to destroy her environment. They want her workers to labour in a high skill, low wage, high repression society. www.danas.rs/vesti/politi...

This has things in reverse. Australia is not acquiring long range strike capabilities because of Chinese actions in waters off Australia. Rather those actions are prompted by our prior commitment to acquiring long range strike as part of US efforts to “contain” China. www.reuters.com/business/aer...

In Serbia we see the broadest and deepest experimentation in democracy anywhere. It is this - not the state’s sonic weapon - that should be dominating the news. www.masina.rs/narod-se-sam...
