Beaten and bloodied by US and Israeli bombs and missiles, and a largely ineffective US maritime blockade, Iran appears to think it’s thwarted Israel-USA’s unlawful war of aggression. It may be right. Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu seem to think so. For wisdom on who won Gulf War III, and rapidly evolving events in Iran today, the GPM spoke with a distinguished scholar on all matters Iranian, Ervand Abrahamian.

Western powers agree: Israel-USA must be free to commit high crimes with impunity. Those who name its crimes, and call for justice, face condemnation and sanction. Case in point: UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese. But the Italian law scholar won’t back down. The GPM speaks with her predecessor, Michael Lynk. And, a red card for Israeli footballers? Nowhere near enough. Human rights groups want top football chiefs to be prosecuted for their support of apartheid Israel, and have taken their case to the International Criminal Court. The GPM speaks with Irish Sport for Palestine.

And, perpetual occupation of other people’s lands is an activity the US supports, defends and engages in, all around the world. The GPM speaks with United States of War author David Vine.

Israeli leaders can kiss their overseas travel plans goodbye. Days earlier, the International Court of Justice ordered it to halt its assault on the southern Gaza city, Rafah — an order Israel is now defying, with US and British backing. Which does international law serve – power or justice? What difference does it make?

Hamas didn’t parachute into Gaza from another planet. The Islamic Resistance Movement, its leaders and militants are an organic part of a packed population of refugees, with no other place to fight.

The Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), its leaders and armed militants are alien to Gaza and its people. They’ve parachuted in from some other place and are hiding out in the Gaza population — criminally and cynically — using ordinary, innocent Gazans as human shields. Such is the wisdom of the highest authorities. Ilan Pappe sees things differently. “They’re an organic part of the population,” the Israeli-British historian told the GPM. In his groundbreaking 2006 work, The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine, Pappe described the origin of Gaza’s people, driven from their lands in the 1948 Nakba. Listen to our conversation.
