Thinking how Epstein's reference to Trump in the recently-released email as "the dog that hasn't barked" could refer to the Sherlock Holmes story where the detective recognizes that a guard dog not barking during the commission of a crime meant the perpetrator was someone the dog knew and trusted.

Just learned this Veteran's Day that the Trump administration has removed a memorial at a U.S. military cemetery in the Netherlands dedicated to black American soldiers who lost their lives fighting against Nazi Germany in Europe. www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...

Dems to GOP: "So if I give you all my credit card numbers and bank info, you'll send me a bunch of money from a Nigerian Prince? That sounds like a perfect deal! Thank you!"

Not only has Trump reversed important climate initiatives here in the United States, he is forcing other countries to do as well. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

It is not about "illegal immigrants." The administration opposes all immigrants who aren't white. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Coming up on the first anniversary of the disastrous 2024 election, you have to wonder why the Democratic nominee for president would embrace a position opposed by the majority of Americans and over three-quarters of registered Democrats.

Here's a brief summary of and a link to an interview I did a couple days ago for a Wisconsin radio station on U.S. policy towards Israel/Palestine and the role of peace and human rights activists. www.wortfm.org/stephen-zune...

In response to the International Court of Justice's ruling that Israel is required to ensure adequate food, water, medical supplies, and other basic services to the people of Gaza, the Trump administration defended the ongoing siege, calling the ICJ "corrupt" and a "partisan political tool."

Nearly one-quarter of the U.S workforce is non-white and nearly half is female. Based upon the Department of Labor’s social media campaign these past two months, however, they seem to think they are all white males.

Here's a link to half hour interview I did on U.S. policy in Israel/Palestine last month for Alice Liebowitz's podcast "Conversations against Fascism" which serves as a pretty good overview of my analysis: youtube.com/watch?v=C7Svt9XhfLw&feature=youtu.be

I’m interviewed in yesterday’s edition of KPFA-FM’s evening news program on latest developments in Israel/Palestine and U.S. policy, starting at around the 10:20 mark: kpfa.org/player/?audi...

I'm one of four analysts interviewed in this overview of the current state of the Gaza ceasefire: wyomingstarnews.org/2025/10/27/w...

I'm quoted a fair amount in this article about U.S. efforts to get the United Nations to accept Morocco's illegal annexation of the nation of Western Sahara, which it seized by force in 1975. www.ipsnews.net/2025/10/the-...

He first got in trouble for running a segment featuring former State Department employees who had resigned in opposition to Biden's support for Israel's war on Gaza. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Catherine Connolly, a self-described socialist and pacifist and a supporter of Palestine and of a united Ireland, has been elected president of Ireland.

Why is the U.S. targeting Venezuela? There are far worse autocratic governments the U.S. supports. And Venezuela is not a major source of cocaine production or trafficking; quite a number of Latin American countries rank higher on both counts. It is, however, the region's largest oil producer.

It's getting even crazier... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Compared to all the other terrible things he is doing, Trump's destruction of the historic East Wing of the White House is relatively minor. Yet the symbolism of the destruction in terms of what he is doing the Constitution and the rule of law is rather striking.

Given the far greater scale of the slaughter and U.S. culpability, the focus on Gaza these past two years has been quite appropriate. Let's not forget about Ukraine, however.

Continued insistence by administration officials that the millions of attendees at the No Kings demonstrations this past weekend took part because they were paid prompted this satire from Andy Borowitz. www.borowitzreport.com/p/george-sor...

Though only a tiny percentage of the population, nearly one-quarter of U.S. presidents have been Episcopalian.

Gaza is an ancient city, an archeological treasure. In addition to the enormous human costs of the U.S./Israeli war, the cultural losses are unfathomable. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Never seen so many American flags at an "anti-American" protest

No plan will lead to a real and permanent peace between Israelis and Palestinians unless it is premised on equal rights for Israeli Jews and Palestinian Arabs, either in a viable two-state solution or a single binational state with guaranteed equal rights for both, says @szunes.bsky.social.

My interview this morning on BBC News about problems with the shaky ceasefire agreement: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qBhQ...

This references CBS News report of the burning by U.S. troops of Cam Ne village during the Vietnam War, which angered the administration but the network insisted on running it anyway. If the new CBS news director Bari Weiss was in charge back then, the coverage would look more like this:

The Trump administration is punishing Cornell's Medical School in New York City by withholding grants because the university administration didn't suppress antiwar protesters on their Ithaca campus even more harshly. Children will die as a result. www.npr.org/2025/10/09/n...

This 2016 review of at Hitler biography in the New York Times is more than it seems. Please take the time to read it. The parallels are so striking and really scary. www.nytimes.com/2016/09/28/b...

I am one of three scholars quoted in this article on the ceasefire: wyomingstarnews.org/2025/10/10/e...

I'd have no objection if the Nobel Peace Prize went to a number of the courageous Venezuelan pro-democracy/human rights activists struggling against the Maduro regime. However, the rightwing María Corina Machado--whose commitment to democracy and social justice is dubious--was a very poor choice.
