‘No Kings’ protests reflect a crisis of imperial plutocracy in the US
ARIZONA- The most obvious focus of the current “No Kings” protests lies in US citizens’ immediate “bread and butter issues”: brutal cuts to education, social security, and health care ($1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid and Childre’s Health Insurance); massive inflation that makes it hard to feed families, pay outrageous costs for health insurance, and endure the exorbitant price of fuel precipitated by the perfidious war on Iran, launched for a second time since June, 2025, in the midst of negotiations.

And yet, since October 7, 2023, it is this unwritten concept, not the doctrine forged over decades, that has shaped Israeli decision-making and now dictates the country’s entire approach to security.

NAZA: When technology makes killing a calculation
GOA, India – There are films that recount the horrors of war, films that make audiences feel the pain of those who endure it, and films that take us somewhere far more disturbing: into the machinery that makes such horrors possible. NAZA, the documentary by Israeli filmmakers Yuval Abraham and Rachel Szor, belongs to this third category. It asks us to look beyond the images of destruction that have become tragically familiar from Gaza and confront the systems, institutional cultures and technological processes through which the destruction of human life can be organised, assessed and justified.

Bombs that pushed Iran across the rubicon
Two wars launched by the US and Israel under the false pretext of stopping Iran's nuclear weapon may have made it more likely
TEHRAN – Donald Trump says he went to war to ensure Iran never gets the bomb — dozens of times and counting. Yet the war fought in the name of non-proliferation has acted like a boomerang: far from closing Iran's path to the bomb, it may have pushed Tehran closer to it.
