The art of the Steal: Lawless sheriff Trump goes Rogue in Gaza

Yoav Litvin

Trump’s plan to turn Gaza into a resort tests public tolerance for illegal and immoral actions, part of a wider pattern of US imperialism, says Yoav Litvin. The new ‘rules-based order’ is that there are no rules, except the capricious decrees of the strongman, writes Yoav Litvin ( The New Arab ) – After two […]

The Far Right, the Tech Bro Oligarchy, and Zionism

Yoav Litvin

Musk serves as Trump’s ideal dancing partner in the chaotic spectacle of the dismantlement of the last fragile remnants of public welfare, writes Yoav Litvin. ( The New Arab ) – Elon Musk, the obscenely wealthy, self-appointed messiah of the digital age, wields influence like a neural network running on overload. Hailed by some as […]

Is Piers Morgan normalizing Israel’s Genocide?

Yoav Litvin

( Counterpunch ) – Since October 7, 2023, white settler propaganda has ramped up through two insidious tactics targeting western audiences. The first rationalizes Israel’s brutality under the pretext of “self-defense” of a supposed “civilized” western democracy in a barbaric region, exploiting the conflation of Zionism with Judaism and dehumanizing all Palestinian people as “terrorists” […]

The Heritage Foundation strategy named after the biblical Jewish queen offers insights into the persecution those who oppose Zionism and white-supremacy will likely face in Trump’s America. ( Al Jazeera English ) – Donald Trump’s re-election as president of the United States marks a shift in US policy – from the Joe Biden administration’s hypocritical […]

Netanyahu and Trump: The Tag Team from a Fascist Hell

Yoav Litvin

Both Trump and Netanyahu rely on a violent cult of tradition to advance their nationalist agendas and push a global system of apartheid, argues Yoav Litvin. ( The New Arab ) – In what war criminal and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called “history’s greatest comeback,” sexual predator, game show host and former Wrestlemania idol […]

The Myth of Greater Israel and Zionist Expansionism

The Myth of Greater Israel and Zionist Expansionism

Yoav Litvin

( The New Arab ) – On October 7 2023, Hamas breached the 17-year-long Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip with a brutal, coordinated attack on at least seven Israeli military installations surrounded by more than 20 residential communities. In a retaliatory frenzy, Israel unleashed a mass Hannibal directive, with tanks and gunships firing indiscriminately at […]

When does Defense turn into Aggressive Destruction? – Far-Right Zionism and Gaza

Yoav Litvin

( Counterpunch ) – The most significant recent escalation in the ongoing Zionist real estate project, enabled by apartheid and genocide of the Palestinian people, occurred on October 7th, 2023, when Hamas fighters broke through Gaza’s prison fence, carrying out a bloody incursion on Israeli military installations and border towns. Since, the Israel “Defense” Forces […]

Why are North American Synagogues selling Palestinians' Real Estate in the West Bank?

Why are North American Synagogues selling Palestinians’ Real Estate in the West Bank?

Yoav Litvin

( The New Arab ) – The marketing of ‘Anglo neighbourhoods’ in the occupied West Bank at real estate events in synagogues in Toronto, Los Angeles, New Jersey, and other locations wouldn’t be out of place 30 years ago in apartheid South Africa or Rhodesia. But perhaps that’s the point.  Branded ‘Anglo Neighbourhoods’, the marketing […]

Anti-Zionism
Liberal Zionism and the woke facade of Israeli genocide

Liberal Zionism and the woke facade of Israeli genocide

Yoav Litvin

( The New Arab ) – Israel’s ongoing genocide is part of a downward spiral for the Zionist project. In the words of acclaimed historian Professor Ilan Pappe: “We are witnessing a historical process – or, more accurately, the beginnings of one – that is likely to culminate in the downfall of Zionism.” Yet Zionism’s […]
