December 1, 2024 UNAC Editor Abuses of Empire, International Institutions, International Law, Israel, Israel-Palestine, Racism, United Nations, US Hypocrisy

by Ajamu Baraka, published on Black Agenda Report, November 27, 2024 The International Criminal Court finally indicted Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant, but this action is merely performative. If arrest warrants do not include war criminals like Joe Biden and other U.S. officials, they are ultimately empty attempts to maintain a semblance of legitimacy. After months of procedural stalling, allegations of sexual harassment[…]

November 21, 2024 UNAC Editor Democracy and Consent, Featured, Statement, US Hypocrisy, US Politics, War and Peace

by UNAC, November 6, 2024 In the 2024 Presidential elections, neither candidate spoke for peace.

by Joy Gordon, published on LaMonde Diplomatique, October 7, 2024 Cuba has faced many economic crises, but the current one is different.

by Ann Garrison, published on Black Agenda Report, November 6, 2024 In Bill Clinton’s infamously unhinged speech last week in Michigan, he said that Jews had been living in Judea and Samaria before Islam existed, that anyone upset by the Gaza genocide should understand how Israelis feel, and that Kamala Harris’s promise to work for a ceasefire should be enough[…]

by Jeff Mackler, published on Socialist Action, November 4, 2024 Serious political analysis on the left always begins with the facts. Substituting abstract theories not based on facts is always a dead end for the socialist movement, today terribly divided over how to evaluate and act on the unfolding and complex events attendant to the Ukraine War and the Russian[…]

Trump Rally, Washington Post and Michelle Obama Generate Fake Outrage

October 31, 2024 UNAC Editor Austerity, Propaganda, US Hypocrisy, US Politics

by Margaret Kimberley, published on Black Agenda Report, October 30, 2024 Liberals love to indulge in performative virtue signaling rather than serious political conviction. Recent events proved that their highest priority is maintaining alliances with the Democratic Party, while dismissing any inconvenient truths that point out their hypocrisy. Nothing reveals the corrupt nature of U.S. politics like a presidential election.[…]

by Ellen Isaacs, published on Countercurrents, September 23, 2024 Editor’s Note: Another much needed perspective that has been in the queue for too long. [jb] Many progressive friends declare they will “hold their nose” and vote for Harris, if only to prevent Trump from instituting fascism. “Bad as she is” – intolerable on Palestine, flipflopping on the environment and health[…]
