Amid the geno­cide in Gaza, West­ern con­dem­na­tion of the in­ter­cept­ed Iran­ian at­tack on Is­rael is sick­en­ing­ly cyn­i­cal.

What should we make of Is­rael’s ob­scene so­cial me­dia stunts in Gaza?

Af­ter six months of apoc­a­lyp­tic war, Gaza to­day is a bunch of ‘kill zones’ with­in a larg­er kill zone.

The US is at the cen­tre of the his­tor­i­cal cri­sis in Haiti, and yet it would not give shel­ter to those try­ing to flee it.

I aid­ed and abet­ted the in­va­sion of the Unit­ed States.

The US has not de­liv­ered jus­tice by con­vict­ing a for­mer Hon­duran pres­i­dent it propped up for so many years.

Amid the geno­ci­dal war on Gaza, Is­rael’s Birthright pro­gramme ac­crued even more sin­is­ter im­pli­ca­tions.

Bush­nell’s ex­treme act of protest has put West­ern cor­po­rate me­dia to shame.

Amer­i­ca’s ‘full as­sault on me­dia free­dom, ac­cess to in­for­ma­tion, and the truth’ is once again on full dis­play.

It is hard­ly sur­pris­ing that these days, Amer­i­ca’s lead­ing colum­nist is work­ing hard to de­hu­man­ise the Mid­dle East.
