Prospects for Peace in the Middle East
Hanan Ashrawi
The adjective most often used to describe the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is intractable. Ancient hatreds, the experts tell us, make it impossible for the two peoples to live in peace. Peace, peace, peace is chanted like a mantra by both parties. Yet what is preventing it from being realized? For decades, there has been an almost […]
Prospects for Peace and Palestine
Naseer Aruri
The Oslo Accord between the Israeli government and the Palestine Liberation Organization was signed in Washington on September 13, 1993. The gala event, featuring Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, generated much media fanfare. The New York Times called it “the handshake that shook the world.” Now that the euphoria has subsided, it is clear […]
American Empire & Corporate Media
Anthony Arnove, Janine Jackson
Hermann Goering, second in command to Hitler said, “Naturally, the common people don’t want war. It is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along. The people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have […]

Planetary Casualties: The Hidden Costs of War
Adrienne Anderson
Direct human casualties and the financial costs of wars are openly discussed in the media. Yet the war on the environment is rarely addressed. Superfund sludge leaks into our food and water supplies, uranium mining devastates reservations and bombing ranges litter the U.S. and its territories. It is easier to gain support for a war […]
North/South Conflict
Samir Amin
For the entire post-WWII period, the organizing principle of global politics was determined by the East/West Cold War. Almost all issues were refracted through that prism. Now, with the collapse of the East, what will emerge as the dominant paradigm? The North, that is, the United States, Europe and Japan, form the core or center […]
Gay People, Straight News
Edward Alwood
At the Democratic National Convention in the year 2000, gay rights activists organized under the motto, “We’re a movement, not a market.” As the motto implies, visibility does not equal rights. Three years later queer culture appears more popular than ever with TV programs like Will and Grace, Boy meets Boy, and Queer Eye for the Straight […]
Cracks in the Empire
Tariq Ali
When the British occupied Iraq after World War I, they were not greeted with celebrations. A revolt began almost immediately. It was brutally suppressed. Shaken by the uprising, Lord Curzon, the Foreign Secretary came up with a plan to run Iraq. He said we must create an “Arab facade ruled and administrated under British guidance […]
Bush in Babylon
Tariq Ali
Babylon, one of great centers of the ancient world, is in present-day Iraq. The U.S. now rules Babylon and beyond. Its invasion of Iraq is old wine in new bottles. It is an imperial power conquering a weaker state using sanctimonious rhetoric, fear mongering and outright mendacities. The Bush regime launched an aggressive war. There […]
Imperialism: Then & Now
Tariq Ali
Joseph Schumpeter in a 1919 essay entitled “The Sociology of Imperialisms,” wrote, “There was no corner of the world where some interest was not alleged to be in danger or under actual attack. If the interests were not Roman, they were of Rome’s allies, and if Rome had no allies, then allies would be invented. […]
