Unprecedented numbers of heat records have been broken in locations throughout the Northern Hemisphere this summer, and even more records will fall in coming years. Meanwhile, Israel’s mass slaughter and starvation of Palestinians is escalating day by day. And the United States is a central player in creating and sustaining both catastrophes.

At some point in Israel’s starvation of Gaza, hunger stopped being just physical, and started to erode the mind. You would see people wandering aimlessly, not even asking for food anymore. Children stopped playing. Conversations became quieter, slower. People forgot certain tastes. The memory of sweetness faded. – Mahah Hussaini Israel is doing its evil […]

Living in Gaza now requires a choreography of absence. We don’t walk; we drift. We don’t eat; we search. We don’t sleep; we remain alert, ears tuned to the sound that will send us running.

When the US entered the war, Miller went back to work for American Vogue and followed the D-Day landings into France. She was no embedded reporter. In fact, during her first week in France, Miller violated orders from the Army and entered the besieged village of St. Malo. She was the only photographer to capture the decimation of this small French town. She also rode into Paris on the day of its liberation.

For 21 months, Israel has obsessively attacked Gaza’s health-care infrastructure and personnel, using weaponry and munitions provided by the US Congress. Over the same span of time, Israel has created a far greater need for health care by targeting Gaza’s civilian population with bombing, gunfire, and blockade-induced starvation—also with Washington’s wholehearted support.

In 1990, it was revealed that the Pentagon planned to build an over-the-horizon radar at RAF Brawdy, Pembrokeshire. PARC was born: Pembrokeshire Against the Radar. With sponsored walks in the nature threatened by the proposed radar, together with events such as Rock Against the Radar, the activist group single-handedly drew public and Parliamentary attention to the proposed radar. Alan Clark, the Minister of Defence Procurement, attempted to ease locals’ concerns by appearing in person at the St. Davids City Hall. Clark was met by hundreds of residents wielding No Radar placards. By then, a dozen other campaign groups from across the UK had joined the action.

In February 1972, Republican Senator Strom Thurmond—or, as Lennon once called him, “Senator Thurmbold, or somebody…”—wrote to Attorney General John N. Mitchell, falsely alleging that Lennon was planning to disrupt the Republican National Convention scheduled for August that year. Thurmond’s allegations made it into an IEC report, available in the CIA archives. Mitchell’s office passed the letter to Commissioner Raymond Farrell of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS). Shortly thereafter, Lennon’s visa was revoked and the INS initiated deportation proceedings.
