Interpreting Turkey’s Military Operation in Syria Ever since things started to go badly wrong in Syria after the uprising prompted by the 2011 Arab Spring, the situation has converted the customary fog of war into an impenetrable black box. None of the intervening political actors including Turkey, United States, Iran, Russia, Israel, the UAE, and […]
The conflict in Syria has been a long and bloody affair. At first glance, it appears to be drawing to a close, but is it? As ISIS have been effectively defeated, and the mopping up of the ragged remains of their army continues, various players are moving to further their own agendas in the beleaguered […]
By Elijah J. Magnier Source Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Moscow to “test the stand of Russia and its allies in Syria on their intention to go to war if Israel bombs Syrian and Iranian objectives in the Levant”. Netanyahu is seeking some answers related to the […] […]
By Gavin O’ Reilly Source Ask the question in left-wing circles of what affect partitioning a country along ethno-religious lines at the behest of an imperial power can have and the response will usually be straightforward. In Ireland, following the 1921 surrender agreement between former revolutionaries and the British government, a six-county statelet was formed […] […]
It is known as the Ramadan War, the October War and the Yom Kippur War. It took place in 1973 and was between the rogue state of Israel and the Arab states of Egypt and Syria who had some troops from various other nations. It is spoken of and debated online and beyond. But how […]

Eva Bartlett has an important presence in the world of independent media. It must seem at times that she is a voice in the wilderness. Bartlett has covered the conflicts in both Gaza and Syria extensively. She has been castigated by the Zionist media for telling the truth, but they have not stopped her. In […]
In this short but touching piece of video, we get to meet some of those involved in caring for the children of ISIS commanders who died in or fled the fighting in Iraq. It is a terrible fact that is often overlooked, but many members of ISIS had children who were innocent of the crimes […]
It is little known in the West that during the US attack on ISIS positions in the Syrian city of Raqqa, massive civilians casualties were caused by US artillery and shelling. The approach adopted by a gung-ho military was to view the heavily populated urban area as a free fire zone. In effect, the US […]
Observers of Israel will be horrified to read of how the Zionist cabinet has now decamped to an underground bunker in Jerusalem to hold future meetings.
