Keith Rankin: America's Imperial 'Gift' - 'Crusader Democracy' Versus 'Christian Nationalism'

America's empire today is partly formal, though mostly informal, with various grades of informality. The name 'America' itself is an imperial grab. The modern American-led crusading mentality represents a schism of Protestant Evangelism and Secular Liberalism.

Gordon Campbell: On The West’s War Against Iran

Clearly, the world needs to stop talking about Israel’s right to defend itself, and start talking about the world’s need to defend itself against Israel. Gaza, Lebanon, Iran....these have become the stepping stones in Israel’s plan to expand its rule, unrivalled, over all the land between the river and the sea.

Binoy Kampmark: Condemning The Right To Self-Defence - Iran’s Retaliation And Israel’s Privilege

The calculus regarding the use of force by Israel vis-à-vis its adversaries has long been a sneaky one. It is jigged and rigged in favour of the Jewish state.

Gordon Campbell: On The Making Of King Donald

After decades of watching the US prop up dictatorships in Central America, South America and the Middle East, there’s a certain irony in seeing authoritarian rule play out on the streets of Los Angeles. No doubt, Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard - and the US Marines! - has been deliberately provocative. That’s the point. The enemy is whoever opposes him.

Binoy Kampmark: Rogue States And Thought Crimes - Israel Strikes Iran

The broader Israeli logic here is less the coherence of the nuclear threat than one of settling scores and crippling a rival it has long accused of directing operations against its interests, if not directly than through its proxy militias.

Eugene Doyle: The West’s War On Iran

What we are witnessing is the racist, genocidal Israeli regime, armed and encouraged by the US, Germany, UK and other Western regimes, launching a war that has no justification other than the expansion of Israeli power and the advancement of its Greater Israel project.
