Each new week brings new calamities for people in countries around Israel, as it tries to bomb its way to the promised land of Greater Israel. My and Medea Benjamin's new article: palestinechronicle.com/israels-war-on…
There are great candidates who would end the genocide, get money out of politics and give us universal healthcare. But this corrupt, anti-democratic political system ensures that they won't win. What's a peace voter to do? My article with Medea Benjamin : countercurrents.org/2024/10/a-no-w…
Will Trump end or escalate Biden's wars? In my article with Medea Benjamin, we look at his appointments, his own record and Biden's catastrophic legacy to try to answer this question: codepink.org/end_or_escalate
For the neocons in DC, Rubio is the least controversial of Trump's foreign policy picks. He'll be a voice for sanctions, coups, wars and all that's wrong with US foreign policy, not a diplomat or a peacemaker. My article with Medea Benjamin: commondreams.org/opinion/marco-…
There's a shaky, one-sided truce in Lebanon, an escalating genocide in Gaza and renewed conflict in Syria, but also new pro-Palestine, pro-Iran diplomacy and resistance to US-Israeli warmongering in Arab capitals. My new article with Medea Benjamin juancole.com/2024/12/truce-…
In 2019, Trump called Jimmy Carter for advice about China. Carter told him China was doing better than the US by not wasting trillions on endless war, and that the US could do that too. Will Trump follow his advice? My article with Medea Benjamin : codepink.org/jimmy_carter
The Doomsday Clock only moved a second this year, but we are in more danger of nuclear war than ever. Is something wrong with the clock? What did Trump say about nuclear disarmament at Davos? And what is the Peace Clock? My article with Medea Benjamin: commondreams.org/opinion/doomsd…
Trump, Putin and Zelensky are ready for peace negotiations, but what will it take to end this calamitous war and forge a stable, lasting peace in Ukraine? And why isn't Trump also giving peace a chance in Palestine? My article with Medea Benjamin: commondreams.org/opinion/trump-…
The multipolar world is already here. By PPP, the US is only 14.7% of the world economy. The tide of economic history is moving on, and a trillion dollar US war budget is a big part of the problem, not any kind of solution. My article with Medea Benjamin: commondreams.org/opinion/how-to…
Mohamed ElBaradei and the IAEA won the 2005 Nobel Peace Prize for resisting political pressure and working for peace. Rafael Grossi, today's IAEA director, caved to pressure from the US and Israel to set the stage for war. My article with Medea Benjamin : znetwork.org/znetarticle/ho…
Yes, we had to do a 2nd edition of a book about a war that should have ended in April 2022, if not for Boris Johnson and Joe Biden. All Putin's fault? Read the new edition of my book with Medea Benjamin, and decide for yourself: orbooks.com/war-in-ukraine…
