COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Yale, Ben-Gvir and Banning Palestinian Groups

This profaning of protest in a university setting is a convenient trick, using the popular weasel words of “offensive” and “unsafe” while deploying, more generically, the pitiful policy inventory that makes freedom of expression an impossibility.

Ramzy Baroud: The Myth Of Conquest - Why Gaza Will Never Be Subdued By Israel

Since Israel failed to subdue the Gazans over the course of two relentless decades, it is not merely improbable, but an outright absurdity to expect that Israel will now succeed in subduing and conquering Gaza.

Binoy Kampmark: Fallibility, Dirty Wars And Pope Francis I

Pope Francis I, eulogised as the pontiff of the periphery and the oppressed, was not averse in his pre-papal iteration to courting the powerful and the authoritarian when a US-backed military dictatorship seized power in his native Argentina in 1976.

Peter Dunne: Dunne's Weekly - An Issue No-one Can Afford To Lose

In the end, the issue is less about the Treaty Principles Bill haka, which is sideshow puffery, than it is about achieving a reasonable balance between Parliament’s historical traditions and contemporary tikanga.

People, mostly young men, “choose” to kill random people because their mental, emotional and social life is so sick that they strike out in horrific reaction to the internalized evil of society.

Eugene Doyle: Quiet Mutiny - The U.S. Army Falls Apart

There were many reasons that the U.S. and its allies were defeated in Vietnam. First and foremost they were beaten by an army that was superior in tactics, morale and political will.
