We know 1.2 million of you are children and that Israeli campaign displaced 1.4 million of you from your homes (half are children). We can’t imagine the terror all 2.4 million of you face.

Dr. Binoy Kampmark | - TRANSCEND Media Service,
30 Oct 2023
27 Oct 2023 – The relevance of a UN Secretary-General depends on his degree of controversy. Dag Hammarskjöld was murdered over his intervention in Congo, 1961. The big powers like to render such figures impotent, if not insignificant. Thus, it was refreshing to hear the current UNSG speak truth to the powers that be. BRAVO!!

24 Oct 2023 – The European Union’s initial response to the Israel-Gaza atrocities has been chaotic.

“It is important to also recognize the attacks by Hamas did not happen in a vacuum. The Palestinian people have been subjected to 56 years of suffocating occupation.

(Italiano) Palestina e Israele: come sarebbe la pace
Johan Galtung | Centro Studi Sereno Regis –TRANSCEND Media Service,
30 Oct 2023
Le visioni/intuizioni di Galtung son quanto mai rilevanti oggi in vista della pulizia ernica degli abitanti di Gaza da parte IDF, debitamente disinfettata, banalizzata, normalizzata dalle narrazioni dei telegiornali mondiali. Il riferimento a Hamas del presidente Biden come ‘l’altra squadra’ rivela le loro mentalità: si tratta di una partita, non una faccenda di vita e di morte per i 2 milioni d’abitanti di Gaza massacrati mentre ne parliamo. È tragico che le guerre vincano le elezioni nelle (cosiddette) democrazie dell’Occidente.

Competing Theories of Nonviolent Politics
Karuna Mantena | Academia – TRANSCEND Media Service,
23 Oct 2023
Abstract: The contemporary literature on nonviolent politics relies upon a sharp distinction between strategic and principled nonviolence. Gandhi and King are associated with the latter, defined as a strict moral commitment to nonviolence that both scholars and activists view as unnecessary for the successful practice of nonviolent politics. I argue the distinction between strategic and principled nonviolence is misleading.
