Gearing Up for the Third Gulf War: a Future Cataclysm between US, Israel, Saudi and Iran?
( Tomdispatch) With Donald Trump’s decision to shred the Iran nuclear agreement, announced last Tuesday, it’s time for the rest of us to start thinking about what a Third Gulf War would mean. The answer, based on the last 16 years of American experience in the Greater Middle East, is that it won’t be pretty. […]
Israel wins Eurovision with #MeToo inspired song
Lisbon (AFP) – Israel won the Eurovision Song Contest in Lisbon early Sunday after singer Netta Barzilai beat 25 other contestants with her uptempo song “Toy” whose lyrics were inspired by the #MeToo movement.

Why there isn’t likely to be a conventional War between Israel and Iran
It is understandable that observers are alarmed about an Iran-Israel conflict in the aftermath of the violation by Trump of the 2015 Iranian nuclear enrichment treaty. Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu worked hard to undermine the treaty in the US, using cut-outs such as allegedly corrupt casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who bought the Republican Party […]

Netanyahu: Don’t look here where we’re shooting children, look over there at Iran
Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, a notorious warmonger, serial liar and supremacist racialist who used to lead the closest thing Israel has to a fascist party until parties even more extreme got elected to parliament, is attempting to bamboozle the clueless Trump into getting on a war footing with Iran. Netanyahu’s breathless announcement that there […]
Why is Israel Summarily Expelling Tens of Thousands of African Refugees?
This past November, Israel announced that it had arranged to relocate 38,000 Eritrean and Sudanese refugee claimants to an African nation — widely rumoured to be Rwanda and perhaps Uganda. The internment camp at Holo[t] would be closed. Israel claims that the vast majority are illegal migrants or, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls them, […]
How does a city get to be ‘smart’? This is how Tel Aviv did it
By Christine Steinmetz | (The Conversation) | – – Smart cities, digital cities, virtual cities, connected cities. Are these just trendy buzzwords? Perhaps. But these types of cities are supported by infrastructure that is more than bricks and mortar.
