Let's be honest: Pennsylvania politics are shifting, and the race against John Fetterman just got deeply personal and unapologetically political. Ahmed Moor—a Gaza-born, U.S.-raised entrepreneur and activist—is officially jumping into the Senate race with a clear message. While Fetterman has alienated his base by morphing into one of Capitol Hill’s most aggressive, "Israel-first" hardliners—cheeri...

Dr Gabor Maté, writing from the perspective of a Holocaust survivor, presents a critical analysis of Israel, Zionism, and the conflict in Gaza, framing his argument within the disciplines of psychology and historical studies. His central thesis posits that Israeli society has internalized a collective identity of entitled victimhood, a psychological state in which a group, having suffered immense...

No Trump in Tehran: Why Maximum Pressure Keeps Breaking Against Iran Tomahawks have begun falling on Qeshm Island, and from the tanker lanes below, the meaning is clear. Qeshm is not just another target on a CENTCOM briefing slide. It commands the throat of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow water through which the Gulf’s commerce must pass. These are no pinpricks. The strikes on Qeshm follow earlie...

Deeper Analysis: The Comfortable Habit of Losing Let’s be real for a second—Abby Martin is putting words to a frustration that millions of people feel in their bones. When we look at huge political shifts, like unexpected blue surges breaking through in places like Kansas or Texas, it genuinely means something. It shows everyday folks are exhausted by authoritarianism, corporate data surveillance,...

This essay will examine the structural, historiographical and epistemological issues of deconstructing the national myth of Palestine. I will analyse Professor Ilan Pappé’s lecture (2018) entitled History is Relevant: The Israeli New History and Its Legacy. He discusses how the Israeli ‘New Historians’ emerged in the 1980s and used state archives to prove the traditional Zionist narrative of 1948...

For decades, AIPAC has operated as one of the most powerful forces in Washington, shaping how American leaders approach the Middle East. But the story most people know about the organization is deeply outdated. The public image is still that of a traditional lobbying group advocating for the U.S.–Israel relationship. In reality, AIPAC has engineered a massive political network—featuring AIPAC PAC,...

For years, Senator Chuck Schumer has sold voters on the idea that he possesses a unique understanding of the American middle class. According to Schumer, one of the main reasons for that understanding was a married couple from Massapequa, Long Island: Joe and Eileen Bailey. Schumer repeatedly described the Baileys as the people he looked to when evaluating public policy, political messaging, elect...

According to Oxfam’s 2026 inequality report, the 12 richest billionaires on Earth now control more wealth than the poorest half of humanity combined. Their combined fortunes total roughly $2.6 trillion. More than four billion people own less. That is not an exaggeration. That is how the global economy is currently structured. The wealth controlled by just 12 men now exceeds the combined wealth of...

Sleepwalking Into A Subterranean Nuclear Crisis As the world carries on with their daily lives, a series of leaked information from social media, political commentary and military signals shows that the US could be less than a week away from violating the 80-year taboo on using nuclear weapons first. The clock is ticking in Washington and Tel Aviv, and it’s all down to one date: November 7th, 2026...

Millions of people play mobile games every day without giving much thought to who owns them, where the companies are based, or what information the apps collect. An investigation published by Arabic Post has brought alarming attention to a number of popular mobile games that have direct or indirect links to Israeli companies through ownership, development, acquisitions, investments, or corporate p...

Recently a couple from Connecticut have found themselves caught in a bureaucratic nightmare, which brings up wider issues concerning privacy, surveillance, and the increasing involvement of private contractors in government tax enforcement. At first the case sounds almost unbelievable: a family which had legally registered their vehicle and paid the relevant taxes in one town in Connecticut receiv...

Dr. Larissa Portnoff, a licensed clinical psychologist based in New York City, has publicly accused Donald Trump of sexually abusing her as a child in a video that has spread rapidly across social media platforms. Portnoff, who also appears in academic contexts as Larissa C. Portnoff, holds a Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology from Columbia University (2021), along with an M.Phil. (2019) and M.S. (2017...

On October 23, 2026, two Palestinian resistance fighters killed two Israeli soldiers terrorists at a checkpoint near Hebron. The fighters were killed. Netanyahu responded with an explicit order: evacuate residents house to house, destroy “terror infrastructure,” and apply the aggressive model used in refugee camps. What followed was 11 days of siege, forced displacement, demolitions, and collectiv...

Following an election outcome that left him short of a clear governing majority, Netanyahu faced several political options for remaining in power. According to Israeli activist and writer Miko Peled, Netanyahu's overriding priority has always been political survival. Peled suggested that efforts to persuade lawmakers from rival parties to switch sides would likely be among Netanyahu's first strate...

Albania is facing a political and social crisis with increased civil unrest from students and protests against the government of Prime Minister Edi Rama. The causes of this unrest can be attributed to several factors, including domestic issues, controversial land developments and recent foreign policy decisions. Key reasons behind the current crisis and recent developments include: Controversial L...

There's political opportunism, and then there's whatever Haley Stevens just did. After losing the Democratic Senate primary to Abdul El-Sayed, Stevens publicly endorsed him. That was the expected move. It's what candidates do after a contested primary. They unite the party, support the nominee, and move on. Now came the plot twist. Just days before Election Day, Stevens abruptly endorsed Republica...

For more than a decade, anyone following Yemen has been told the same story. The war, they say, is the result of an ancient conflict between Shia and Sunni Muslims. Ansar Allah is presented as a purely Shia movement. Its supporters are portrayed as motivated primarily by sectarian identity. Every political development is filtered through the same lens. It is a simple explanation. It is also a misl...

For most of his life, Mohammed Deif existed somewhere between reality and legend. Israel spent decades hunting him. Intelligence services tracked him across Gaza. Fighter jets targeted him repeatedly. Assassination attempts left him wounded, scarred, and, according to numerous reports, permanently disabled. Yet he kept reappearing, surviving long after many believed he had been killed. To Palestin...

Elon Musk insisted that no children died because of the dismantling of American foreign aid. The evidence coming out from South Sudan tells a different story. Al Jazeera's Fault Lines documentary A Thousand Cuts follows families caught in the fallout from the Trump administration's assault on USAID and humanitarian programs that had long served as the backbone of healthcare delivery in one of the...

On Sunday, October 25, 2026, Dwight Jackson was outside his own home on Chattahoochee Street in Chattahoochee, Florida, putting up Halloween decorations when he suffered a seizure and collapsed. His brother, Caleb Johns, called for help. EMS arrived and began treating him. Roughly 45 minutes into the medical response—while responders were still rendering aid and had the situation under control—Sgt...

But if the era of Israel’s longest-serving prime minister is nearing its end, what legacy will he leave behind?
