I have risked my life to get food from the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation centers in Gaza, where Israel opens fire on aid seekers from every direction. I have an impossible choice: slow death from hunger, or gambling my life for a chance of survival.
After Israel’s genocide became untenable for even Israel’s staunchest allies to support, the West needed a more “perfect villain” to keep backing Israel. And there was no better villain for an indoctrinated mind than Iran.
The war across the Middle East is part of a desperate effort to preserve Western superiority. All the fighting — whether in Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Yemen, or Iran — is due to Zionism, and its role of enforcing the crushing force of the West.
My students’ last request was to play, but then the school was bombed. I survived, and they became angels.
Israel’s war on Iran has buried our genocide in the headlines, but what Israel is doing in Gaza is a stain upon humanity. Don’t stop talking about it.
Ahmad, a 16-year-old boy in Gaza, leaves his home at 3 a.m., armed with an iron hammer and a utility knife. But Ahmad is not a soldier, nor a fighter. He seeks only one thing: to obtain a sack of flour. And to do so, he must be prepared to die.
As Israel pushes for full U.S. intervention in its attacks on Iran, two dozen progressive House members are pushing a bill that would block the U.S. from sending Israel offensive weapons.
Palestinians in Gaza are watching the skies as missiles fall on Tel Aviv instead of them. While many think Israel can be defeated, others are left frustrated that Iran did not intervene and come to Gaza’s aid sooner.
Iranians know the logic of Zionism, underwritten by the American empire, is what has naturally led to the devastation they are now experiencing. Palestinian liberation from Zionism can bring the entire region, including Iran, closer to freedom.
After 23 years of service, I was fired from my position as a Professor of Medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, for being critical of Israel’s violence in Gaza and speaking out against the racism that leads to genocide.
