COMMENT

Binoy Kampmark: Frail Egos And Sandpit Colonialism - Australia, The United States And Invading Iraq

The invaders were sandpit colonialists, poorly costumed to reenact the glory days of European empires in the Middle East with trimmed forces and smaller budgets. What makes Australia’s own involvement even worse, was that the reason to go to war lay less in an international security threat than a weak ego and reputational yearning: to be cringingly worthy to Washington.

Binoy Kampmark: Ignoring A Leopard’s Spots - The UK, Syria And Courting Dictators

In an echo of history, the current UK government has found a new man of transactional worth in Damascus. The great usurper, Jolani, has taken Bashar’s place. His Al Qaeda and Islamic State past is being strategically sanitised, the revolutionary made good and useful.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Neuroscience’s Misleading Half-Truths

Diversity arises from wholeness, not from particularity. The notion that life can be reduced to its “basic building blocks” is a fundamental philosophical mistake of many scientists, who project the basic premise of thought—separation—onto the seamless wholeness of nature.

Ramzy Baroud: Fighting Israel’s War In Jenin - Can The Palestinian Authority Be Saved?

The latest operation in Jenin is a clear manifestation of how Israel uses the PA to carry out its dirty work. The Jenin refugee camp, an area of less than half a square kilometer, has always been a symbol of Palestinian resistance.

Binoy Kampmark: Far From Ignorant - The European Union, Arms Exports And Israel

As with the United States, the EU adopts a preferential approach to Israel on the issue of imposing arms embargoes, leaving the matter to individual member states. In no small part is this due to the EU being Israel’s second largest arms supplier after the US.

Binoy Kampmark: Jimmy Carter, Israel And The Apartheid Question

Beyond his stint in office, the tongue worked more easily, and opinions expressed with greater ease. Over time, for instance, he frowned with matronly disapproval at Israel over its treatment of Palestinians. “Israel’s continued control and colonization of Palestinian land,” he wrote, “have been the primary obstacles to a comprehensive peace agreement in the Holy Land.”
