The U.S. Must Stop Being an Apologist for the Netanyahu Government

MundoOriente Próximo

“Israel has the right to defend itself.”

These are the words we hear from both Democratic and Republican administrations whenever the government of Israel, with its enormous military power, responds to rocket attacks from Gaza.

Let’s be clear. No one is arguing that Israel, or any government, does not have the right to self-defense or to protect its people. So why are these words repeated year after year, war after war? And why is the question almost never asked: “What are the rights of the Palestinian people?”

And why do we seem to take notice of the violence in Israel and Palestine only when rockets are falling on Israel?…  Seguir leyendo »

MundoAmérica,

As the count currently stands, nearly 80 million Americans voted for Joe Biden. With this vote against the authoritarian bigotry of Donald Trump, the world can breathe a collective sigh of relief.

But the election results did also reveal something that should be a cause for concern.

El modelo económico global está fracasando

MundoAmérica,


¡Qué sorpresa! Los trabajadores en el Reino Unido, muchos de los cuales han visto cómo ha disminuido su estándar de vida mientras los más ricos de su país se vuelven más ricos, le han dado la espalda a la Unión Europea y a una economía globalizada que les está fallando a ellos y a sus hijos.

No solo los británicos están sufriendo. Esa economía cada vez más globalizada, establecida y mantenida por la élite económica del mundo, le está fallando a la gente en todas partes. Por más increíble que parezca, las 62 personas más ricas del planeta tienen tanta riqueza como la mitad más pobre de la población mundial, cerca de 3 mil millones de personas.…  Seguir leyendo »
