The increasing issuance by Israeli Forces of “evacuation orders” – which are, in effect, displacement orders – have resulted in the forcible transfer of Palestinians in Gaza into ever-shrinking spaces where they have little or no access to life-saving services, including water, food and shelter, and where they continue to be subject to attacks. Since 18 March, Israel has issued 21 “evacuation orders”.
Trump’s Anti-Imperial Imperialism

2 weeks ago | counterpunch.org | T.J. Coles |Jeffrey St. Clair

A few years ago, The Nation published an article debunking the myth that Donald Trump was an anti-imperial President. The article highlights the false perception held by a wide number of MAGA supporters and purported or former leftists: that Trump desired to reduce America’s military role in the world. Now that he is back in the White House, certain leftists cling to the hope that Trump will begin winding down the US Empire.
Double-Tapping Gaza

2 weeks ago | counterpunch.org | Jeffrey St. Clair

+ They call it a double-tap: bomb a place with lots of people, say a school filled with kids and their parents, then when the ambulances, medical workers, and nearby civilians come to rescue the wounded, bomb it again. This disgusting scenario has played out time and time again in Gaza, most recently at the […] To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.
Roaming charges: Manifest Destinys child

3 weeks ago | johnmenadue.com | Jeffrey St. Clair

February 5, 2025 There was a messianic fervour in Donald Trumps Second Inaugural speech that wasnt evident eight years ago. As dark as the 2016 American Carnage diatribe was, there was still the sense that Trump was a salesman pitching a vision he didnt quite believe in, but thought he needed to sell in order to legitimise himself to his own ragged ranks of followers. Mainly, he seemed surprised to find himself where he was.

The Ceasefire That Never Was

1 month ago | counterpunch.org | Jeffrey St. Clair |Erik Molvar

+ The ceasefire that never was is now a bloodbath that never stops. + Israel never abided by the ceasefire in Gaza it agreed to. It never stopped killing Palestinians in Gaza. It didn’t withdraw its troops from Gaza. It continued to restrict the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza and limit where Palestinians could […] To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.
Episodes From the Great Disappearance

Fascism attempts to organize the newly created proletarian masses without affecting the property structure that they strive to eliminate. It sees its salvation in giving these masses not their rights but a chance to express themselves. – Walter Benjamin+ On January 31, Julio Noriega, a US citizen born in Chicago, was walking in Berwyn, Illinois, to get a pizza when ICE descended on him, placed him in handcuffs, and shoved him into a van with other shacked men.
A North-South Divide in England’s Unions

1 month ago | counterpunch.org | Peter Bach |Jeffrey St. Clair

The idea of a North-South divide in Trade Union membership and activity here in the UK has long persisted, often rooted in outdated stereotypes of men in cloth caps, cigarettes dangling from mouths, waiting for shipyard work. But the reality is more complex than that. Yes, while historical factors have shaped Union membership across the […] To read this article, log in here or subscribe here.
