To watch the entire West back Israel's non-existent 'right' to board a vessel in international waters and abduct its crew and passengers on the might-is-right principle is to witness the Death of International Law - again! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Israel's Act of Piracy on the High Seas (illegally storming the Madleen & kidnapping its crew) serves one purpose: To defend its right to continue unobserved and unimpeded the Genocide of Palestinians. An Act of Piracy is thus committed in the process of concluding a Genocide.

Είναι πλέον γεγονός: Η κυβέρνηση του Βερολίνου αποτρελάθηκε! Υπάρχουν ακόμα αρκετοί λογικοί άνθρωποι στη Γερμανία, ικανοί και πρόθυμοι να σταματήσουν την κατρακύλα της χώρας στην απόλυτη, επικίνδυνη, αυτοκαταστροφική παράνοια; www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

It is now official: The Berlin government has gone bo(u)nkers! Are there are still enough sensible people in Germany able and willing to stop the country's descent into utter, dangerous, self-immolating paranoia? www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Incontrovertible evidence is now in. Israel instructs Palestinian civilians to go to areas where it then bombs them. Israel has chosen war criminality & it pursues it relentlessly. Equally relentless must we be in the pursuit of Israel's leaders frames.forensic-architecture.org/gaza/updates...

They were designed as kill zones, not turned into them... www.ft.com/content/8cbe...

My take, in summary form, on the Trump Shock's underlying motives and ideology www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVTr...

On the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation: They should have called it the Gaza Hunger Foundation or, perhaps, the Gaza Homicide Factory. The GFH is nothing less than a US-Israeli terrorist organisation using inadequate food parcels as weapons of mass murder. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

Η λεπτή κόκκινη κλωστή αίματος που συνδέει τα Τέμπη, την Πύλο και την Γάζα = το γεγονός ότι δεν έχουν όλοι οι άνθρωποι, όλα τα παιδιά, την ίδια αξία για ένα σύστημα δομημένο ταξικά και γεωπολιτικά www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcGa...

Elon Musk's deep misunderstanding of US politics is now evident. He accused Trump of abandoning his principles by expanding the budget deficit. What? ALL Republican Presidents did exactly that. Reagan, the two Bushes and Trump 1.0 expanded the deficit... www.ft.com/content/3e5b...

ΣΥΜΒΑΙΝΕΙ ΤΩΡΑ ΣΤΗ ΔΥΤΙΚΗ ΟΧΘΗ: Έποικοι εισβάλλουν και πάλι στο χωριό του Hamdan Ballal, σκηνοθέτη του No Other Land, και χτίζουν νέο φυλάκιο μέσα στο χωριό ακριβώς μπροστά από το σπίτι του.

IT IS HAPPENING NOW IN THE WEST BANK: Settlers are invading No Other Land director Hamdan Ballal’s village again and building a new outpost inside the village directly in front of his house.

The time has come to declare the US-Israeli GHF outfit (whose purpose is to use food-based blackmail to lure Palestinians to their death/ethnic cleansing) a criminal organisation. The time has come for a total embargo on Israel. This time is NOW! www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

The Progressive International is standing, along with DiEM25, behind the March to Gaza. progressive.international/observatory/...

Πρόοδος; Τα δυτικά ΜΜΕ, που ως τώρα αναμασούσαν την ισραηλινή προπαγάνδα, παραδέχονται τώρα ότι μια γενοκτονία βρίσκεται σε εξέλιξη. ΟΜΩΣ: Καμία έκκληση για στρατιωτική επέμβαση του ΟΗΕ ή ακόμη και για κυρώσεις. Αυτό συνιστά Συνενοχή Με Άλλα Μέσα. www.ft.com/content/ba6e...

So, here we are: The Western Press, which hitherto regurgitated Israeli propaganda , is now conceding that a genocide is in progress. But that's it. No calls for a UN military intervention or even of sanctions. This is complicity by other means. www.ft.com/content/ba6e...

Καταστρέφοντας τη μοναδική συσκευή νεφροκάθαρσης που απέμενε στη βόρεια Γάζα (χαρακτηρίζοντάς την κι αυτή εργαλείο της... Χαμάς), το Ισραήλ καταδίκασε σε μαρτυρικό θάνατο αμέτρητους νεφροπαθείς. Άλλη μια μέρα άλλη μια ισραηλινή γενοκτονική πράξη. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

In destroying north Gaza's only surviving facility for kidney dialysis (no doubt claiming it was... Hamas), Israel has indirectly condemned to an agonising death countless patients. Another day another Israeli genocidal act. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

With Bulgarians on the street protesting (quite sensibly) their country's entry into the euro, here is a relevant post from 2022: How the euro divided Europe, and why countries like Bulgaria should not join www.yanisvaroufakis.eu/2022/01/26/h...

How many more rivers of Palestinian blood will it take for Western citizens to shame our gvts to sanction Israel? "Israeli tanks & drones open fire on Palestinians gathered at US aid distribution site, killing more than 30 people in Rafah alone." www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Looking forward to my discussion with Alex at a time when Marx was never as relevant

He may be mad as a cut snake (as Aussies would say) but he is entertaining. Can we, lefties, turn the joke on him? That's the question

Το 2015, ως ΥΠΟΙΚ της Σλοβακίας έκανε οντισιόν στο EG για το ρόλο του μπουλντόγκ του Σόιμπλε, απαιτώντας απάνθρωπη λιτότητα για τους Έλληνες λέγοντας ότι οι Έλληνες έπρεπε να τιμωρηθούν για την Ελληνική Άνοιξη. Τώρα η μάσκα έπεσε και φάνηκε η διαφθορά... www.ft.com/content/f510...

In 2015 he sat opposite me in the Eurogroup as Slovakia's FinMin. Auditioning for the role of Schäuble’s bulldog, he demanded inhuman austerity for the Greeks, adding that they had to be punished for staging their Greek Spring. Now the mask is off... www.ft.com/content/f510...

Δεν περνάει μέρα χωρίς νέες αποδείξεις ότι το Ισραήλ είναι προσηλωμένο στη γενοκτονία. Δεν περνάει μέρα χωρίς η Δύση να κάνει τα στραβά μάτια. Ο υπόλοιπος κόσμος δεν θα ξεχάσει ΠΟΤΕ. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

Not a day goers by without new evidence that Israel is hell-bent on genocide. Not a day goes by without the West turning a blind eye. The Rest of The World shall NEVER forget. www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblo...

The capacity of the centrist press for wishful thinking is mind-boggling. Did they really think that the courts would stop Trump's tariffs? The only thing that can work is the kind of politics that will turn the US working class against Trump. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/29/b...

This isn’t innovation; it’s a hostile takeover of the money supply. Lacking anything resembling serious regulation, stablecoins are neither stable nor merely an alternative dollar payment option. They are a Trojan horse for the privatization of money. www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/t...

Another day another Israeli war crime www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

I hear of a major shift in Russia's negotiating stance: Moscow seems to have dropped its claims over the parts of the four oblasts it has not already occupied. What matters now is that the Europeans stop leading Kiyv down the garden path with promises they intend to break...

Η Πολιτική Οικονομία της Γενοκτονίας: Αποκαλύπτουμε το διεθνές επιχειρηματικό δίκτυο στο οποίο, στο πλαίσιο του φυλετικού αποικιοκρατικού καπιταλισμού του Ισραήλ, συμμετέχει πλήρως κι η Ελλάδα, με επιλογή των κυβερνήσεων Ν.Δ., ΠΑΣΟΚ και ΣΥΡΙΖΑ. www.efsyn.gr/stiles/apops...
