I'm quoted/cited a fair amount in this recent article in Counterpunch:

Sen. Tuberville blasts American feminists for not supporting the bombing of Iran because he says Iranian women can't go to school like under the Shah. In reality, women's literacy has more than tripled and the majority of university graduates, including 70% in the hard sciences, are now female.
When I met with Iranian foreign minister and other officials during my 2019 visit to Tehran, I noticed that governmental buildings were in close proximity to residential blocks and other civilian structures. These massive U.S./Israeli bombing targeting them are likely to result in many deaths.
It might be timely to read this 1999 op-ed by a leader of the Otpor movement against the Milosevic regime which criticized the NATO bombing of Serbia as being detrimental to their pro-democracy struggle. Though they eventually won, the war set back their efforts.

There were some great eulogies at Jesse Jackson's memorial service, but this was about my favorite. From Jim Zogby:

Except if Americans are killed by a strategic ally of the United States...
Add strengthening Putin and increasing environmental damage in the United States to the results of the U.S. war on Iran--purchase of oil from Russia is growing and shale oil production in the United States is about to ramp up.
Israel's U.S.-backed rampage through southern Lebanon continues. Here are the ruins of Kfar Kila, a once-lovely hill town I visited fifteen years ago.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has taken legal action to restrict the sale of chest binders to minors in Texas because nothing says "small government" like determining what kind of undergarments teenagers can wear.
Maronite Father Pierre Al-Rahi, the parish priest of the southern Lebanese village of Qlaya'a, was killed yesterday when Israeli artillery hit his residential neighborhood.
The Senate Democratic leader’s response to Trump’s war on Iran.
Here's one of my better interviews of late, a 55-minute conversation from yesterday with Mark Thompson on WPFW in Washington, DC. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7j5...
Growing up, I recall watching the evening news every night as they described about how the United States was relentlessly bombing North Vietnamese cities and the South Vietnamese countryside and how U.S. officials kept insisting that it would eventually lead the enemy to surrender.
As the U.S/Israeli terror bombing of Iran continues, critical civilian infrastructure is being destroyed, and civilian casualties mount, Iranians are increasingly convinced that this is not simply a war against their hated regime, but a war against the Iranian people.
Polls show a majority of young Republicans believe "the Holocaust was greatly exaggerated or did not happen as historians describe." However, both the Trump administration and Congressional leaders insist that fighting antisemitism requires going after progressive pro-Palestinian students.
Powerful words of wisdom and hope from Rebecca Solnit:

I am the first of three panelists speaking at this forum critically examining Morocco's "autonomy" proposal for the nation of Western Sahara--which it invaded, occupied, and illegally annexed in 1975--and is supported by the U.S. and several European governments. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NXWW...
With Trump now calling for Iran's "unconditional surrender," he has made it an existential war for the Iranian regime. They will not surrender. They will be willing to see countless thousands of Iranians die in the U.S./Israeli bombing. They will keep firing missiles and drones anywhere they can.
From the former Foreign Secretary of India on the U.S. Navy’s sinking of an unarmed Iranian ship, killing 87 sailors.
Trump is a bully. Whether with women or with nations, he is willing to cross any moral or legal boundaries in order to dominate and control. He thinks he has right to impose his will, whatever the consequences.
Here's a 30-minute interview I did yesterday for Fair Observer--probably my best and most comprehensive since the war began: www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJW2...
Would the Iranian regime be willing to sustain a long, incredibly one-sided, and utterly devastating war despite massive casualties? Certainly. We have seen how they were willing to kill thousands of Iranians themselves. And the U.S. and Israel appear willing to kill many thousands more.

No, it’s not “the Zionists” who are supporting the criminal war. Zionists and Zionist organizations are divided. jstreet.org/press-releas...
