  • If they were really thinking , they would consider…

    Here’s what these Muslims have not thought about: October 7, Hamas, human shields, misogyny, child marriage, beheading, hostages, antisemitism, billions of dollars in humanitarian aid funnelled into terror, the lining of the pockets of corrupt leaders, gender apartheid, honor killings, and anti-homosexual hatred. They take no responsibility for their problems. They are so busy playing the victim without considering once all the people they have victimized and all the countries their people ha... more

  • Salaam aleichem..Shalom aleichem. As a Jewish member of Jewish Voices for Peace and Jill Stein supporter, it is good to hear Moslem voices , too often ignored or dismissed as irrelevant by the main stream corporate media, in an election where the Democratic and Republican parties are rarely seriously critized for their genocidal policies toward Palestine fueled by pro-Zionist funding.

Manufacturing a Monster: Britain, America and Israeli Violence with Professor Avi Shlaim
Q: Why do you think the project of Israel was so important to Britain in those early days?

Manufacturing a Monster: Britain, America and Israeli Violence with Professor Avi Shlaim
Q: Can you explain a little bit more about why you argue Zionism as an ideology? Its logical outcome is what we see today in Gaza.
Zionism as a project always aimed to expunge Palestinians from their land, reflecting a systematic effort by the Israeli state supported by Western powers.
Imran Khan: The People's Champion or a Populist Illusion? with Professor SherAli Tareen
Q: How did Imran Khan's relationship with the military evolve?
Imran Khan was always critical of military power but muted his critique once in power to maintain his position. Yet, post-removal, his former discourse has intensified, emphasizing military tyranny.
Imran Khan: The People's Champion or a Populist Illusion? with Professor SherAli Tareen
Q: What accounts for Imran Khan's continued incarceration?
There is a fear and anxiety about the kind of popular support that he wields at this point and a fear that if he were to come out of prison, the current political setup may crumble.
