Top Scoops Headlines

COMMENT

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.

Richard S. Ehrlich: Deadly Border Feud Between Thailand & Cambodia

In an official letter to Thailand's embassy in Phnom Penh, Cambodia's Foreign Ministry officially demanded an investigation and trial for Thailand's troops who 'without provocation' allegedly killed the Cambodian.

Gordon Campbell: On Free Speech And Anti-Semitism

For the record: the haka in Parliament did not disrupt the taking of the first reading vote on The Treaty Principles Bill. It occurred after the votes from the other political parties had been cast and tallied, as the footage from Parliament clearly shows.
