Jonathan Cook: the View from Nazareth - www.jonathan-cook.net

The forever wars may be over, but Trump is no peacemaker

The new guard of kleptocrats are seeking quick deals on Gaza and Ukraine, not because they want peace but because they’ve found a better way to make themselves even richer.

Yes, Trump is vulgar. But the US global shakedown is the same one as ever

The US president looked like a gangster as he roughed up Zelensky. But he wasn’t the one who stoked a war that’s killed huge numbers of Ukrainians and Russians.

Netanyahu only ever saw the hostages as his path back to genocide

Western leaders and media are helping bolster a propaganda narrative about the hostages that makes the resumption of Israel’s slaughter all but inevitable.

Trump didn’t invent the Gaza ethnic cleansing plan. It’s been US policy since 2007

Trump’s innovation is not the threat to ‘clean out’ Gaza. It is dropping a long-standing aim to dress up Palestinian expulsion as a peace plan.

The Gaza ‘war’ was a lie, as is the ceasefire. Trump just told you

During Netanyahu’s visit, Trump dropped Washington’s sugar coating of Israel’s 15-month genocidal destruction of Gaza. This was always about ethnic cleansing.

How the West hides its Gaza genocide guilt behind Holocaust Day remembrance

The ghosts of thousands of Palestinian children crushed by Israeli bombs loomed over this year’s Auschwitz commemorations.

Gaza protest: How Starmer and the Met have joined forces to quash all dissent

Dozens of people were arrested on the weekend at a peaceful demonstration aiming to highlight British complicity in Israel’s slaughter.

Dr Abu Safiya symbolised humanity in Gaza. Israel and the West are destroying it

Israel isn’t eradicating ‘the terrorists’. It’s turning Gaza into a wasteland, a hellscape, where doctors no longer exist, aid workers are a memory, and compassion a liability.

Another expert report finds Israel is committing genocide. The West yawns

Amnesty, Human Rights Watch, and Medecins Sans Frontieres are all agreed. But the Gaza genocide is now just another routine news item, buried on the inside pages.

Syria’s Assad has fallen – just as the Pentagon planned 23 years ago

When westerners see ‘enemy’ governments fall, or civil wars erupt, they are led to think they are the geopolitical equivalent of a natural event. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Biden and Starmer are destroying international law to protect Israel’s genocide

When everything is exposed as a lie, the biggest liars triumph. The forces of darkness rush in to fill the void. That is the future awaiting us.

The West buries a genocide – by making victims of Israel’s football thugs

If the West was really worried about Europe’s Nazi past, it would be better advised to stop stoking an all-too-real new antisemitism: incitement against Arab and Muslim minorities.

Israel kills the journalists. Western media kills the truth of genocide in Gaza

Western publics are being subjected to a campaign of psychological warfare, where genocide is classed as ‘self-defence’ and opposition to it ‘terrorism’.

War on Gaza: Israel wants to finish the job Washington started after 9/11

As the conflict expands across the Middle East, western leaders refuse to implement any red lines for Tel Aviv.

The BBC is weaponising its Lebanon reporting to help disguise Israel’s crimes

Western publics are being subjected to an unprecedented campaign of media propaganda to conceal Israel’s true goals as it expands the slaughter.

Jewish Chronicle scandal: Why was there no uproar over its long record of pro-Israel fake news?

The paper’s disinformation is making waves only now, after it printed claims based on forged Hamas documents. But the JC has been peddling falsehoods for years.

How the war on Gaza exposed Israeli and western fascism

Material and rhetorical support for the genocide of the Palestinian people is everywhere. It’s time to ask why.

You can’t arm a genocidal state into moderation. So why does the West keep trying?

Western governments will never isolate and sanction Israel. The war machine will roll on until either we stop it or its lethal games blow up in all our faces.

Starmer’s fingerprints – not just the Tories’ – are all over Britain’s race riots

In the UK, Islamophobia is so bipartisan, so normalised, that BBC reporters refer to anti-Muslim pogromists as ‘pro-British protesters’.

Israel is in a death spiral. Who will it take down with it?

Israel’s zealots are ignoring the pleas of the top brass. They want to widen the circle of war, whatever the consequences.
