COMMENT

Nicholas Khoo, The Conversation: Friend Or Foe? How Trump’s Threats Against ‘Free-Riding’ Allies Could Backfire

Donald Trump wants US allies to spend more on defence and has threatened NATO members with coercion. But allies have agency too, and are already planning their responses.

Ramzy Baroud: The Fight For Dignity - Reshaping Gaza’s Post-War Narrative

The time has come for a new narrative, one fundamentally different from those that have emerged in the wake of previous wars. The new narrative must position Gaza as the heart of the Palestinian struggle, as a model for humanity, and as the central path for the liberation of Palestine—which, thanks to Gaza, now seems closer than ever.

Gordon Campbell: On More Threats To Democracy From David Seymour

The Regulatory Standards Bill is another vehicle for constitutional change launched under the guise of sensible, garden-variety law-making.

Martin LeFevre - Meditations: Good Does Not Fight Evil, But Stands Firm And Dispels It

The die is cast where Trump, the United States and the post-World War II order are concerned. The failure of insight and imagination by academic, media and political elites, exemplified in the moronic “good Trump, bad Trump” fantasy, feeds the widespread hopelessness and paralysis.

Binoy Kampmark: Bitter Harvests - The Gaza Ceasefire

Whoever claims credit for these latest developments hardly lessens the bitterness of the harvest. The prevarications, delays and obstructions have permitted massive destruction and loss of life to take place. Cowardice and bad faith have been the hallmarks of the process. It remains unclear how all the relevant parties will behave.

Binoy Kampmark: Situation Critical - UNRWA And Its Continued Operations

Any ceasefire, already soured by the killing of over 100 Palestinians since its announcement, does little to address the institutional chasm that will be left were UNRWA to cease operating in any meaningful way.
