From Hitler to Netanyahu: How Western Hypocrisy Fuels Endless War in the Middle East

-
Image
When history is written by the victors, injustice is often repackaged as self-defense. Today, as the world watches Israel’s escalating aggression in the Middle East-with Western powers applauding or remaining silent-we are witnessing not isolated wars, but the continuation of a century-old colonial project born out of European fascism, guilt, and imperial ambition. Let’s be blunt: the same Western powers who cry “international law” when Russia invades Ukraine have no such energy when Israel bombs Gaza, Damascus, Baghdad, or now, Tehran. Why the double standard? Because Israel is doing the dirty work for them. A Legacy of Manufactured War When George W. Bush invaded Iraq under the false pretense of weapons of mass destruction (WMDs), he had the full backing of the West-and the quiet blessing of Israel. That lie cost over a million Iraqi lives, destabilized the region for decades, and set a precedent: lie about nukes, wage war, and call it peacekeeping. Now, that same script is being rep...

Trump Schizophrenia? U.S. Presidency Torn Between War Talk and Peace Promises at G7

-
Image
 Incoherent Leadership: Contradictions at the G7 in Canada At the June 2025 G7 summit in Canada, President Trump showcased stark contradictions - as he both praised Israel’s offensive against Iran and, in the same breath, urged for “peace soon” and negotiations between Iran and Israel. This “schizophrenic” approach - advocating for war one moment, diplomacy the next - amplifies global confusion and undermines any coherent U.S. strategy. European leaders, including Germany’s Friedrich Merz and the UK’s Keir Starmer, pressed Trump for clarity on whether the U.S. intends to push Israel toward a ceasefire or simply let the conflict intensify.  Their concern: Trump’s inconsistent messaging threatens both regional stability and multilateral coordination. From Peace to Pretext Military Boasting vs. Diplomatic Hopes: Trump threatened possible U.S. involvement while expressing optimism that Iran “would like to talk” about a nuclear deal. Two Messages, One Mouth: Trump dec...

In 2025, the United States finds itself embroiled in a new kind of civil conflict-not on battlefields, but across the digital landscape of Twitter. This "Twitter Civil War" manifests through intense online skirmishes, where Americans clash over politics, culture, and identity. The catalyst? Policies and rhetoric from former President Donald Trump that have deepened societal divisions and transformed social media into a battleground.

Palestine History Series: Episode 8 – The Nakba of 1948

-
In this eighth installment of our series, we delve into the Nakba of 1948, a pivotal event that led to the mass displacement of Palestinians and the enduring impact on their national identity and aspirations. The Onset of the Nakba The term "Nakba," meaning "catastrophe" in Arabic, refers to the events surrounding the 1948 Israeli occupation and the establishment of the State of Israel. Following the United Nations' 1947 Partition Plan, which proposed separate Jewish and Arab states, tensions escalated into full-scale conflict. Jewish militias launched attacks against Palestinian villages, forcing thousands to flee. Mass Displacement and Atrocities Between 1947 and 1949, Zionist military forces attacked major Palestinian cities and destroyed approximately 530 villages. About 15,000 Palestinians were killed in a series of mass atrocities, including dozens of massacres. Long-Term Implications The Nakba's most profound impact was the creation of a stateless...

The Islamic Golden Age: Illuminating Europe’s Dark Ages

-
Image
Between the 8th and 14th centuries, the Islamic world experienced a remarkable era of intellectual and cultural flourishing known as the Islamic Golden Age. During this period, scholars in the Islamic world made significant advancements in various fields, while much of Europe was experiencing the Early Middle Ages, often characterized by a comparative decline in scholarly activity. ​ Centers of Learning and Knowledge Preservation Institutions such as Baghdad's House of Wisdom became renowned centers for the collection, translation, and expansion of knowledge. Scholars translated works from Greek, Persian, and Indian sources into Arabic, preserving and enhancing classical knowledge. This extensive translation movement played a crucial role in safeguarding ancient texts that might have otherwise been lost. ​ Scientific and Technological Advancements Islamic scholars made groundbreaking contributions across numerous disciplines: ​ Mathematics: The development of algebra by...

Ignorance and Intolerance: The Alarming Disconnect in American Perceptions of the Arab World

-
Image
Introduction In an age where information is readily accessible, it’s disconcerting to witness the depth of misunderstanding and prejudice that persists in certain segments of American society regarding the Arab world. Recent surveys have unveiled a troubling combination of ignorance and xenophobia, highlighting the urgent need for cultural education and awareness.​ The Agrabah Anomaly: Fiction Mistaken for Reality A joint poll by Arab News and YouGov revealed that over 80% of Americans cannot identify the Arab world on a map. Even more startling, 21% believe that Agrabah - the fictional city from Disney’s Aladdin - is a real location in the Middle East. Furthermore, 38% supported a U.S. travel ban on citizens of Agrabah, should they be deemed a threat. ​ This conflation of fiction and reality underscores a profound lack of knowledge about the Arab world, raising concerns about the sources from which many Americans derive their understanding of global cultures.​ Support for Bombing...

The Planet Is Like the Titanic-And We’re Steering Straight Into the Iceberg

-
Image
A World on the Brink: The Global Crisis of 2025 In 2025, the world faces a convergence of crises-geopolitical tensions, climate change, economic instability, and social unrest-that threaten global stability. The situation is eerily reminiscent of the Titanic’s ill-fated voyage, where early warnings were ignored until disaster struck. I. Escalating Global Conflicts 1. The World on Fire The International Rescue Committee’s 2025 Emergency Watchlist highlights intensifying humanitarian crises in countries such as Sudan, Syria, and Myanmar, where conflict, climate instability, and economic collapse create a volatile mix. Similarly, the World Economic Forum's Global Risks Report 2025 flags state-based armed conflict as the top global threat. 2. Sudan: A Nation in Collapse Sudan is experiencing one of the world's worst humanitarian catastrophes. Civil war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and Rapid Support Forces (RSF) has displaced over 12 million people. Acute food shortages ...

“The Bully” Isn’t Just a Book - It’s a Brutal Mirror for the American Empire

-
Image
 What if Trump wasn’t a glitch in the system-but the system’s final form? That’s the dangerous question at the heart of the new book The Bully: 50 Laws of Trump’s Rule -a political grenade disguised as a manual of power. this book breaks down how Trump didn’t just seize control-he rewrote the rules entirely . 50 chapters. No mercy. No spin. Just power, manipulation, media warfare, cult psychology, and fascism repackaged as freedom. Whether you're horrified by his tactics or hypnotized by his dominance, The Bully doesn’t flinch. It exposes: How lies became law How rage replaced reason How democracy was hollowed out by a gold-plated branding campaign And how Trump remains the most dangerous political force in America-not because he changed, but because the world did. From “Declare Victory Before the Battle” to “Weaponize Patriotism” and “Return as the Revolution,” the book reads like a playbook for strongmen, wrapped in the language of American exceptionalism...

Are You Great Yet? Analyzing the Realities Behind "Make America Great Again"

-
Image
The slogan "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) became a defining phrase of Donald Trump's presidential campaigns, encapsulating a promise to restore the nation's former stature. However, as policies unfolded, questions arose about the actual impact of these initiatives on America's global standing and domestic well-being.​ Trade Wars and International Relations One of the most prominent aspects of the MAGA agenda was the initiation of trade wars aimed at reducing trade deficits and reviving domestic industries. Tariffs were imposed on a range of imports, leading to strained relations with key allies and trading partners: ​ China: The imposition of tariffs led to retaliatory measures from China, escalating into a full-blown trade war that affected global markets. ​ Canada and Mexico: Despite renegotiating trade agreements, tensions persisted due to tariff implementations, impacting cross-border economic activities. ​ European Union: Tariffs on Europ...

America as a Colonial State: A Historical and Contemporary Analysis

-
Image
The United States has often positioned itself as a beacon of democracy and self-determination. However, a closer examination of its history and recent actions reveals patterns reminiscent of colonial and imperialistic endeavors. From territorial expansions to strategic geopolitical maneuvers, both Democratic and Republican administrations have engaged in practices that echo colonial ambitions. ​ Historical Foundations of American Expansionism The roots of American expansionism trace back to the nation's inception. The 19th-century doctrine of Manifest Destiny encapsulated the belief that the U.S. was destined to expand across the North American continent. This ideology justified the annexation of territories and the displacement of indigenous populations, laying the groundwork for future interventions beyond continental borders. ​ Military Interventions and Resource Acquisition The pursuit of strategic resources has often underpinned U.S. military interventions: ​ Iraq (...

America's Anglo-Saxon Superiority Complex: A Historical Examination of Racial Supremacy and Its Global Impact

-
Image
The ideology of Anglo-Saxon superiority has profoundly influenced American history, shaping domestic policies and international actions. This belief in the inherent dominance of the Anglo-Saxon race has justified expansionist endeavors, military interventions, and systemic racial discrimination. This article explores the historical trajectory of this ideology and its manifestations from the 19th century to contemporary times. ​ Origins of Anglo-Saxonism in America In the 19th century, American intellectuals and politicians propagated the notion that Anglo-Saxons were destined to spread their civilization globally. This belief, rooted in racialized Anglo-Saxonism, portrayed Americans of Anglo-Saxon descent as superior and obligated to govern over other races. ​ Manifest Destiny and Racial Justifications The concept of Manifest Destiny, which advocated for U.S. territorial expansion, was deeply intertwined with Anglo-Saxonist beliefs. Proponents argued that it was the nation...

The Evolution of the 'White Man's Burden': From Colonialism to Contemporary Politics

-
Image
The concept of the "White Man's Burden" has historically been used to justify imperialistic endeavors, suggesting an obligation of white individuals to govern and "civilize" non-white populations. This ideology has evolved over time, influencing various leaders and shaping policies that have had profound global impacts. Origins of the 'White Man's Burden' The term gained prominence with Rudyard Kipling's 1899 poem, which framed imperialism as a noble enterprise of civilizing "sullen peoples." This perspective was employed to rationalize European colonialism, portraying it as a benevolent mission despite its exploitative nature. ​ European Colonialism and Racial Hierarchies European powers, under the guise of this "burden," expanded their empires across Africa, Asia, and the Americas. They imposed their cultures, economies, and governance structures, often at the expense of indigenous systems. This era entrenched racia...

Trump's Tariff Targets: Penguins Over Putin?

-
Image
In a move that has sparked both confusion and criticism, former U.S. President Donald Trump announced a series of tariffs on April 2, 2025, affecting numerous countries and territories-including the uninhabited Heard and McDonald Islands, an Australian external territory primarily home to penguins and seals. Notably, Russia was exempted from these tariffs, raising questions about the rationale behind these decisions. ​ Tariffs on Uninhabited Territories The Heard and McDonald Islands, located in the sub-Antarctic Indian Ocean, have no permanent human population and no significant exports to the United States. Despite this, the Trump administration imposed a 10% tariff on goods from these islands. The inclusion of such remote territories in the tariff list has been met with bewilderment and has become the subject of widespread online memes and jokes. ​ Exemption of Russia Conversely, Russia was notably absent from the list of countries facing new tariffs. The White House justif...

Parallels of Displacement: Native Americans and Palestinians as Indigenous Peoples Facing Expulsion

-
Image
Throughout history, indigenous populations have frequently faced displacement and marginalization due to the expansionist ambitions of more dominant powers. Two poignant examples are the Native Americans in the United States and the Palestinians in the Middle East. Both groups have endured systematic efforts to remove them from their ancestral lands, leading to profound cultural, social, and economic repercussions. ​ Historical Context Native Americans: The colonization of North America led to the widespread displacement of Native American tribes. Policies such as the Indian Removal Act of 1830 facilitated the forced relocation of indigenous communities, most notably exemplified by the Trail of Tears, where thousands perished during the arduous journey westward. These actions were driven by a desire for land and resources, often justified under the guise of manifest destiny. ​ Palestinians: The establishment of the state of Israel in 1948 resulted in the displacement of a sign...

What If the American Dream That America Wants to Impose on the World Was "The Others"?

-
Image
The "American Dream" has long symbolized prosperity, democracy, and freedom. However, when U.S. foreign policies aim to export this dream, the outcomes can sometimes resemble a nightmare for other nations. Drawing a parallel to the 2001 horror film "The Others," where characters grapple with unseen realities, this article explores how the imposition of American ideals can lead to unintended and often detrimental consequences globally. ​ The Duality of the American Dream While the American Dream promotes individual success and democratic values, its application in foreign policy has been met with criticism. The belief in American exceptionalism-the idea that the U.S. holds a unique place in the world-has sometimes led to interventions that prioritize American interests over the well-being of other nations. ​ Case Studies: When Dreams Become Nightmares Trade Tariffs and Economic Strain: Recent U.S. tariffs have had significant repercussions on global economi...
