COMMENT

Keith Rankin: 'I Am A Semite'

Binoy Kampmark: Show Me The Money - A Loutish Administration Confronts A Craven Congress

The business of the United States is business, and it follows, money. Cut the money supply, and, at the very least, leave the war mongers grumpy. Along the way, Trump’s opponents might find their mislaid backbones.

Ian Powell: Do Wellington Floods, Climate Change And Wealth Accumulation Equal “Suicidal Capitalism”?

Ramzy Baroud: The Pendulum Swings - The Slow Death Of Europe’s Pro-Israel Consensus

Europe now knows that a genocide has been committed. This paradigm shift is unlikely to be reversed, regardless of whether Luxembourg’s bureaucrats manage to delay the inevitable.

Dr Nasim: Poem From Gaza - Her Smile

She is a message. That hope cannot be bombed. And that life…is stronger than anything.

Keith Rankin: New Zealand's Dependence - Wheat, Rice, Fuel, Ships
