Binoy Kampmark: Failed Machismo - Israel’s Pager Killings

The pager killings in Lebanon and parts of Syria on September 17 that left almost 3000 people injured and 12 dead were just another facet of this move. On September 18, a number of walkie-talkies used by members of Hezbollah were also detonated, killing 14. (The combined death toll continues to rise.)

Ramzy Baroud: Israel’s True Objectives In Gaza, And Why It Will Fail

The most optimistic estimation of the Israeli army is that their war, which has practically destroyed all of Gaza, has resulted in a stalemate. A more sober reading of the war, according to former Israeli Prime Minister General Ehud Barak, is that Israel must end it before “sinking into its moral abyss”.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: How Deep Does The Human Crisis Go?

As deep as the human mind goes. A higher and immeasurably truer order of consciousness awaits our transmutation.

Gordon Campbell: On ACT’s Plans To Strip Away The Rights Of Gig Economy Workers

The ways the ACT Party are aiming to redraw the lines between being an employee and being a contractor will set back the clock, and reduce the ability of workers to organise collectively.

Binoy Kampmark: Peter Doherty - Public Science Communicator

Having made his name in a field, Doherty has every right to be dull. Instead, he is self-deprecating and mocking. In a sense, he assumes a role more popularly associated with the celluloid astrophysicist, the species of character that has colonised television and screen with their searching, almost scolding gazes (Neil deGrasse Tyson), or drawn out walks upon the earth’s surface (Brian Cox).
