Undercounting Deaths in Gaza While Claiming It's the Worst War Ever Worst war ever? Depends how you look at it. But you have to start with a serious look at the death count.

We Can Learn from the Greensboro Massacre A new book called Morningside: The 1979 Greensboro Massacre And The Struggle For An American City's Soul by Aran Shetterly provides a detailed examination, in historical context, of a largely forgotten incident in which KKK and Nazi shooters (some of them veterans of the war on Vietnam), with the complicity of local and federal "law enforcement," shot at black people in Greensboro, North Carolina, killing five, wounding many.

How to Get Aid to Victims of a Genocide One obvious step would be for the U.S. government to restore funding of UNRWA (United Nations Relief and Works Agency). For five reasons.

The Israeli Government Must Be Stopped The Israeli government has been dragging Western weapons and militaries into wars for far too long, putting all of the world -- and its global institutions -- at risk. The move into Lebanon, creating more dead, injured, traumatized, and homeless already in huge numbers ought to snap some war supporters out of their trance.

Don't Bring a Sword to a Gun Fight, Bring Unarmed Friends Until the day that governments at least slightly represent the will of people, and until laws and diplomacy become the norm, what are people to do whose villages are being invaded or bombed or bulldozed?

Please Stop Saying That Every War Is Not a War But Something Bad For the love of all that is decent, immediately stop the self-defeating idiocy of calling every goddamned war "not a war." Please. With all due respect.

NATO: Not A Tenable Option Some of the discussions surrounding the events in July clarified for me the case to be made against NATO, which I think can be broken into five points.

Wall to Walz Distraction Tim Walz was in 2015 part of the successful public campaign to pressure then-President Obama not to bomb every inch of Syria. Tim Walz does not hate China. That seems to be his direct antiwar record.

Military Times Publishes Demand for Cluster Bombs from Two Weapons-Funded "Thinkers" On August 10, Military Times published an article demanding that NATO support the use of cluster bombs, bombs that litter the ground with colorful little bomblets that are very attractive to children during the last moments of those children's lives or of their possession of various limbs or body parts.

Pretending Project 2025 Cuts Military Spending Is Weird Why pretend that a document, especially one this predictable, strays so shockingly from the bipartisan Washington dogma of ever-more militarism? The main reason, I suspect, is the advantage that at least some militarists see in tying Donald Trump to peace and demilitarization.

Deep State Does Stop-Trump Games With One Hand Tied Behind Back While a wealth of wisdom and numerous stories of success exist on resisting such scenarios around the world for many years, it's not clear that these U.S.-centric officials, so used to viewing activists as enemies (or denouncing them as "outside agitators" when they advise students), consulted any of it. Instead, they found themselves at a general loss as to how to resist.

Lies, Damn Lies, and NATO -- 2024 After someone shot Donald Trump, Joe Biden said, indignantly, "we resolve our differences at the ballot," which is classic propaganda, taking something obviously true (namely: it's evil to shoot people) and using it to make seem true something obviously false (namely: you can use a ballot in a U.S. election to choose policies you support and have them enacted). When Trump and Biden debated, they debated who would destroy Gaza

NATO's Wars Versus Human Survival Nations that lend their names and respectability to a war addict are not its friends. The friendly thing to do would be to cut it off and take an independent stand for peace.

Believing in Nuclear Deterrence and Angels "Despite the fact that deterrence remains an article of faith among the 'realists' who have orchestrated U.S. strategic policy and who continue to do so, despite its incoherence and instability, much of this faith is lip service only, analogous to deeply religious individuals who profess belief in heaven, yet rarely rejoice when a loved one dies.

Opposing Both Israeli and Hamas Killing Is a Model for All Wars If we can outgrow war accidentally or because social media shows us what we always knew it looked like, I'm all for it. But we may have to add in some thoughtful intention too.
