on Al Jazeera Oct. 17: We Need an Immediate Ceasefire
There have been five wars fought between Israel and its neighbors in the last twenty years (mostly with Netanyahu and Likud in power). Over that time, and before, there have been thousands of diplomats from around the world working on a variety of plans to bring peace and stability to the region, and hundreds of conferences. All have failed.
As Israeli journalist Haggai Matar testified regarding October 7:
“The dread that Israelis are feeling is a sliver of what Palestinians have felt daily under the decades-long military regime in the West Bank, and siege and repeated assaults on Gaza.”

* See Naomi Klein’s The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism (2007).
In the chaos following wars, natural disasters and economic panics, military and corporate neo-liberals aggressively try to push privatization, deregulation and cuts to social services as part of a “Shock Doctrine.” This is a critical time to resist these disaster capitalists and defend our human, environmental and economic rights and resources. Remember after 9/11 when President Bush seized the opportunity of national grief and fear to call for an all-out assault on Afghanistan? The bombardment of Iraq was soon to follow.
