[ad_1] Nate Bear Do Not Panic In the wake of the death of three American troops on a base in Jordan following a retaliatory attack by Iran, I’ve seen a lot of commentary online stating that they “died for Israel.” This idea that Americans are dying for Israel has become an oft-repeated narrative since the US and Israel began their illegal war of aggression on Iran. I understand the impulse, attraction and utility of this argument. Yes, Zionists and their apartheid death state have a huge amount of slaughter, blood and destruction on their hands. And yes, the entity…

[ad_1] The announcements already being made by Abelardo and his designated cabinet mark a significant change of course, not only for the Colombian people but also for the country’s place in the world. The runoff election reaffirmed that there are two visions for the country in Colombia: Abelardo won with 49.66 percent of the vote, championing the reduction of the state and social policies to further the development of a neoliberal, extractivist, and dependent model, compared to the 48.70 percent secured by Iván Cepeda, who sought to continue the project of change, expand social and environmental justice, peace, and sovereignty.…

[ad_1] Democratic leaders worry about socialists because they fear reliving 1972 for the next two years. They have good reason to be concerned. As progressive nominees remove their less extreme members, Democrats’ congressional delegation will swing further leftward in the next term. Just as at their 1972 presidential convention, this will mean putting their progressive face unavoidably before the public. Only this time, it will last years, not days. James Carville recently let fly at democratic socialists invading his party and targeting incumbents. On his “Politics War Room” podcast he stated: “These people are so f—ing stupid I don’t know…

[ad_1] NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani admitted he is not legally qualified to arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after suggesting he might this week in an interview with the New York Times and then implying he still might at a press conference on Monday. On Tuesday, Mamdani reiterated that he believes Netanyahu is a “war criminal” and “architect of a horrific genocide against the Palestinian people responsible for the killing of more than 73,000 people,” and that he agrees “Netanyahu should be arrested and tried for his crimes.” But after that, Mamdani admits that the city of New York “does…

[ad_1] Mitchell Plitnick, Mondoweiss. In a Le Monde op-ed, Oman’s Badr al-Busaidi argues the West’s decades-long policy of “containing” Iran was always misguided. And that the true threat comes from Tel Aviv. Al-Busaidi pushes for a new security order built around regional states. Omani Foreign Minister Badr al-Busaidi penned an op-ed for the French outlet Le Monde on Tuesday. The article was a call for a new political and security architecture in the Gulf region, and served as a clear indictment not only for the current, disastrous war of choice that the United States and Israel initiated against Iran, but of forty-seven years of…
