Will Trump Go After the War Party
by Eric Margolis | Nov 23, 2024 | Featured Articles
In 54 BC, Marcus Licinius Crassus, a rich, ambitious Roman businessman, got himself named governor of the wealthy province of Syria. Crassus had been sharing power in Rome with Pompey and Julius Caesar. Call him the Donald Trump of his day. Crassus decided to invade...
Will Lebanon be Next After Gaza?
by Eric Margolis | Sep 27, 2024 | Featured Articles
Few people know that Lebanon was once part of Syria. It was detached from Syria by Imperial France and made into a nominally Maronite Christian nation. Sunni Muslims, Shia Muslims and Druzes were also encompassed in this newly engineered country of 6 million. Then...
The Real Boss of Congress Comes to Town
by Eric Margolis | Jul 27, 2024 | Featured Articles
New York – According to Britain’s esteemed medical journal, The Lancet, 186,000 Palestinian adults and children have so far been killed or died of disease in Gaza. Nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed on the Israeli-occupied West Bank. 10,000 Palestinians languish...
What an Awful Choice!
by Eric Margolis | Jun 29, 2024 | Featured Articles
This week’s presidential debate made me both horrified and dismayed. Here was the world’s most powerful nation trying to decide which elderly candidate to select as its presidential candidate. Maybe the best expression is ‘cringe-worthy.’ Joe Biden was left looking...
Wild, Wonderful New York
by Eric Margolis | Jun 8, 2024 | Featured Articles
NEW YORK – This city’s splendid Fifth Avenue and parts of the adjacent Central Park were thronged last weekend by masses of pro-Israel demonstrators demanding even more US support of Israel’s laying to waste of Gaza. New York is the world’s leading Jewish City,...
How to Waste Two Trillion Dollars
by Eric Margolis | May 4, 2024 | Featured Articles
Brown University’s cost of the Afghan war project just concluded that America’s longest war cost an estimated $US 2.2 trillion dollars – that’s ‘trillion dollars.” If we add in George W. Bush’s fake `war on terror,’ Brown’s scholars estimate that the cost rises to US...
Students Go After the Hypocrites
by Eric Margolis | Apr 27, 2024 | Featured Articles
New York – I was kicked out of New York’s prestigious Collegiate private school many moons ago for "revolutionary and disruptive activities." Thank goodness my wise parents sent me to the International School of Geneva, Switzerland where I thrived. The underground...
Murder in Gaza
by Eric Margolis | Mar 6, 2024 | Featured Articles
Good work, Mr. President Biden. You have managed to do what America’s enemies have not – creating widespread hatred for the United States around the globe. Your destruction of the Gaza refugee camps has inflamed antisemitism everywhere. There is widespread disgust and...
Don’t Spare the Billions
by Eric Margolis | Feb 17, 2024 | Featured Articles
When I was a boy growing up in New York City I was taught – and re-taught – to always save half of my weekly allowance and never spend more than I had in savings. Too bad Joe Biden was not taught this useful Presbyterian virtue. Recently, Biden’s government has sought...
Watch Those Houthis – They Are Pretty Tough
by Eric Margolis | Jan 20, 2024 | Featured Articles
The first time I went to remote Yemen, this wild, mountainous nation was just creeping into the 7th Century AD. That was 45 years ago. There was only one hotel in the capital, Sanaa, and it was booked up with European businessmen trying to sell junk to the Yemenis. I...
Stop the Slaughter in Palestine!
by Eric Margolis | Dec 8, 2023 | Featured Articles
Palestinians have become sand in the eyes of the Mideast. How did this happen? From where did they come? Nowhere, according to the late Israeli prime minister Golda Meir. She insisted Palestinians did not exist and were merely human flotsam and jetsam. That was pretty...
‘Make a Desert and Call it Peace’ – Tacitus
by Eric Margolis | Nov 11, 2023 | Featured Articles
Paris – The great Voltaire wrote ‘show me whom you cannot criticize, and I will show you who rules you.’So true. Anyone who dares criticize Israel’s Biblical punishment of Palestinians in the Gaza outdoor prison is immediately subject to a storm of calumny and...
How Much Longer Will Palestinians be a Martyr People?
by Eric Margolis | Oct 13, 2023 | Featured Articles
It’s not a real war. The bloody carnage in Israel and Palestine that we now witness is a large prison uprising being crushed by Israel’s military might. M-16 lightweight rifles against Merkava tanks; home-made rockets (little more than flying pipe bombs) versus...
Kill Al-Zawahiri
by Eric Margolis | Aug 6, 2022 | Featured Articles
It is unsettling to see a democratic government like the United States beating its chest over the high-tech murder of a retired jihadist, Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri. The 71-year-old al-Zawahiri succeeded the assassinated Osama bin Laden as chief of the anti-US underground...
Stop the Crazy War in Ukraine
by Eric Margolis | Mar 8, 2022 | Featured Articles
The brazenly biased western media is giving us the impression that the Ukraine fighting is some sort of sports competition. Russia’s media, now shamefully silenced in the west by the banning of Russia Today and Sputnik News, portrays the so far modest war in Ukraine...
Stop the Neocons From Starting a War!
by Eric Margolis | Jan 26, 2022 | Featured Articles
Amid surging tensions over Ukraine, the head of Germany’s navy had the courage to voice Europe’s fears over this totally unnecessary, contrived crisis. In a speech to an Indian think tank, Vice-admiral Kay-Achim Schonbach proposed the Western powers ‘respect’ Russian...
Nuclear War Over Ukraine?
by Eric Margolis | Jan 5, 2022 | Featured Articles
How many American soldiers will die in the battle for Luhansk? Or Kerch? Not 1 in 1,000 Americans could find these drab Ukrainian (formerly Russian) industrial cities on a map.How many Americans are aware that a unit of the Florida National Guard is stationed in...
Rebuild America and Fight China?
by Eric Margolis | Nov 12, 2021 | Featured Articles
In an age of TV politicians, President Joe Biden is a figure from another age. He is deeply unexciting and suffering from advanced age – a time in life which the great Charles de Gaulle compared to a “shipwreck.” No mobs of baseball hat-wearing yahoos are about to...
Saving for a Rainy Day
by Eric Margolis | Oct 9, 2021 | Featured Articles
The really wealthy, vexed by tax collectors, pesky relatives, ex-wives and just plain thieves, long ago learned the wisdom of hiding their money and property. This is twice true for politicians. An investigation by an international consortium of journalists just...
