Israeli Citizens For International Pressure

Oct. 2024

We, Israeli citizens residing in Israel and abroad, call on the international community – the UN and its institutions, the United States, the European Union, the League of Arab States, and all states around the world – to intervene immediately and implement every possible sanction towards achieving an immediate ceasefire between Israel and its neighbors, for the future of both peoples in Israel/Palestine and the peoples of the region, and for their rights to security and life.

WASHINGTON (AP) — During his first term as president, Donald Trump tested the limits of how he could use the military to achieve policy goals. If given a second term, the Republican and his allies are preparing to go much further, reimagining the military as an all-powerful tool to deploy on U.S. soil.

Life Preempted

Policymakers in both the U.S. and Europe are undertaking increasingly brazen acts of escalation in Ukraine.

Designed to bring Russia to the breaking point.

If you’re not thinking about the end of the world by now, you’re either braindead or stuck in some remote corner of the world, totally removed from access to news.

Earlier this month we came closer to a nuclear conflict between the U.S. and Russia than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.

Today we are even closer.

Canada's ambassador told UN assembly the motion was too one-sided to support

Canada abstained today from a high-profile United Nations vote demanding that Israel end its "unlawful presence" in the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank within a year.

Canada's Ambassador to the United Nations Bob Rae told the assembly the motion was too one-sided to support, though he said Ottawa agrees that Israel is illegally occupying Palestinian territories.

The debate between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump featured a rehash of neo-liberal and imperialist talking points.

Both are committed to disastrous policies domestically and internationally.

Notes from a Phoney Campaign: Catfight in Philly

 “When a politician is in opposition, he is an expert on the means to some end, and when he is in office, he is an expert on the obstacles to it.” – G.K. Chesterton

 

+ The title of this column comes from Jean-Paul Sartre’s diary of the first eight months of World War II, when he was stationed in Alsace, working as a meteorologist, watching weather balloons and recording barometric pressure, while waiting for something, anything, profound to happen.
