From Gaza to Cuba: How Canada Remains the World’s Most Tactful Bystander

Anne Kamath and Umer Azad

From Gaza’s ruins to Cuba’s long siege, Canada projects an image of principled diplomacy—yet beneath the rhetoric lies a pattern of calibrated silence. This critique interrogates Ottawa’s “tactful” bystander posture, where carefully worded statements mask complicity in an unequal global order. Whether endorsing Israel’s “right to defend” or maintaining distance from transformative solidarities, Canada emerges less as peacekeeper than risk-averse spectator. In a world demanding moral clarity, this essay asks: is neutrality merely another name for consent, and diplomacy a language for disengagement amid enduring injustice?

Mendacious Rationales: The Lies Behind Operation Lion’s Roar

Binoy Kampmark

Operation Lion’s Roar revives a familiar script: inflated threats, manufactured consent, and the shadow of regime change. Drawing chilling parallels with the 2003 Iraq invasion, this essay dissects how the United States and Israel deploy fear, selective intelligence, and moral posturing to justify renewed strikes on Iran. Claims of nuclear danger and imminent threats mask deeper geopolitical ambitions, while international law is sidelined. As targeted killings and destabilisation intensify, the risk of wider regional conflict grows. Beneath the rhetoric of security lies a troubling question: how many more wars will be sold on narratives that unravel only after devastation iscomplete?

Going to War, Again, for Israel

Chris Hedges

A new war looms as the United States aligns once more with Israel in a widening regional conflict, raising fears of catastrophic escalation. Framed as security, critics argue it repeats a familiar pattern of intervention, regime-change ambitions, and disregard for international law. With rising casualties, threats to global oil supplies, and the risk of a prolonged Middle East war, the consequences could be devastating far beyond the region. As political consensus sustains militarism, dissenting voices warn that history’s lessons are being ignored—once again placing countless civilian lives, economic stability, and fragile peace at graverisk.

Europe: From the myth of denazification to suicidal Russophobia or The Triumph of the Kakistocracy

Franklin Frederick

Europe: From the myth of denazification to suicidal Russophobia or The Triumph of the Kakistocracy   The European ruling class is in a terminal state. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross, the Swiss psychiatrist who dedicated herself to treating terminal patients, identified five stages of grief that we go through when we lose someone. The first stage of grief described by Kübler-Ross is denial. Faced with the loss of its prestige, influence, and economic power, and above all with the rise of China and the other BRICS countries, the European ruling class reacts exactly as predicted in this first stage of grief: with denial.

Toward the Abyss: US–Israel Strikes on Iran and the Unraveling of West Asia’s Fragile Peace

Countercurrents Collective

West Asia stands on the brink. The joint US–Israel assault on Iran has shattered any illusion of stability, triggering retaliatory strikes across Israel and the Gulf. Civilian areas have been hit, casualties are mounting, and the specter of a region-wide war looms large. This is no longer deterrence — it is escalation without limits. As missiles redraw the map of conflict, the silence of global institutions grows more dangerous. The United Nations must act now to halt the escalation before it engulfs the entire region. Diplomacy cannot remain hostage to militarism. The cost of delay will be measured in lives.

The Cuban Revolution holds out against US imperialism

Vijay Prashad

Defying decades of blockade, sabotage and covert destabilization, Cuba’s revolution continues to stand as a stubborn challenge to U.S. imperialism. From the failed Bay of Pigs Invasion to relentless economic strangulation, Washington has sought to crush an experiment rooted in sovereignty, social justice and dignity. Yet Cuba endures—mobilizing its people, prioritizing healthcare and education, and extending solidarity beyond its shores. This article traces how resilience, political consciousness and internationalism have enabled a small island nation to resist the world’s most powerful empire, reminding us that resistance is not only possible, but necessary.

Cuba. Option Zero.

Rosa Miriam Elizalde

Option Zero was the revolutionary government’s contingency plan for the moment of total blockade from abroad and, therefore, the absolute lack of oil in the country.
