No, Iran is not a nuclear threat. No, Western leaders don’t have a moral compass and any intention to stop bowing down to the US empire. No, racist colonial narratives won’t disappear now — we have seen them being used to justify and support Israel’s genocide in Gaza. And yes, the people of Iran need us to speak out.

Watch This Excellent Interview on Israel and Iran
Don’t fall for warmongering. Don’t fall for misinformation when there’s so much of it surrounding Israel’s aggression on Iran and Iran’s retaliation. I invite you to listen to what experts have to say about what’s unfolding and what would be needed for this aggression to de-escalate.
Israel’s Attacks on Iran ARE Self-Defense — Just Not Exactly as Some Define It
We might be getting Israel’s notion of self-defense wrong. Here are some suggestions what it actually means, as Israel is striking Iran.
On Madleen, Piers Morgan, and What’s Performative and What’s Not
We won’t be tricked: we can see what’s performative and what’s not; what’s actual journalism and what’s saving face; what’s genuine action to stop this genocide and what’s nothing more than empty words of our despicable leaders. Palestine has revealed it all.
Nakba Day in Guatemala
It won’t be anything shocking – and perhaps not even new – to learn about Israel’s involvement in the Guatemalan Civil War. Yet as I am spending Nakba Day in Guatemala this year, there is more than the obvious dots to connect. I do it in my video.
Gaza: On Multiple Levels of Shame — And Heartbreak
What to say when the horrors continue, when there’s both so much and nothing left to say?

Three Interviews on Palestine for Your Sanity
It’s been over a year and a half of genocide in Gaza. Despair is real, disgust is real, profound disappointment is real, rage is real. But so are solidarity, resistance, and a community of people who we can call our comrades. In this blog post, I invite you to watch something that will be good for your minds and hearts.
Zero Tolerance for The Psychosis of Zionism
It is a psychosis. Yet it doesn’t do harm just to the person suffering from it: it enables mass murder on an industrial scale.
My invitation to you is to condemn that psychosis and show it zero tolerance. It’s to condemn Zionism and call it for what it is: a murderous ideology that has unleashed genocide onto the Palestinian people.
Has The Ruling Class Decided for You What Your “Normal” Is?
It’s rather simple: you can either normalise it and look away (what ‘good citizens’ do in Fascist societies) or you can do something – anything – to protest it.

On Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya And What Fascism Does to The Bodies of All of Us
Fascism isn’t just an abstract idea, an ideology that’s just floating there in the air. There are actual bodies – that succumbed to this ideology – inflicting violence on other bodies; there are bodies who justify that brutality; and there is your body, too.
