Demokrasiyi sandığa indirgeyen AKP, seçimin daha 2. gününde halkın iradesini hiçe sayıyor. Olacak iş değil! Hemen şimdi Abdullah Zeydan'ın yanında durmayan muhalif parti, gerçek demokrasi sınavından geçmemiş sayılır.

“Temyiz yolu açık olduğundan bu keyfi karar kesinleşmemiştir. Bu nedenle uygulanamazdır. Bu keyfi ve hukuksuz uygulamaya karşı durmak öncelikle tüm hukukçuların görevidir.”

Neither ICJ ruling, nor UN Security Council resolution. No international institution proves capable of stopping the genocide unfolding in front of our eyes in Palestine. This is a damning indictment of the totality of international law and the international order it maintains.

'The worst of what humanity is capable of'

'When I asked for water, the soldier would laugh ... urinate in a plastic bottle, and bring it to me to drink.”

Men detained by Israeli forces are returning with harrowing accounts of mock executions, constant beatings and humiliating mistreatment

To whom should Palestinians fighting for liberation speak?

In our #PalestineUncensored blog at Verso Books, Al-Khatib writes that appealing to an international audience has moderated and censored how Palestinians can imagine their fight for freedom.

Nikos Gatz translates my forthcoming article--'David Graeber's Anthropology of Human Possibilities'--which is to appear this year in boundary 2 into Greek. Immensely grateful for his laborious act of translation, that is, solidarity.

UK government is refusing to say whether Israeli bombers are visiting its base on Cyprus.

This is a crisis of democracy. Our bases operate as 'black sites' for foreign militaries.

And it doesn't get more serious than facilitating genocide.
