    Gaza war lays bare the immorality of the Western world

    The Secretary General of the United Nations, António Guterres, claimed that the Hamas attack of October 7 did not happen in a vacuum. If not in a vacuum, what was in that space?

    Sanctions are an instrument of death, destruction and global rift

    Let me cut to the chase, sanctions can end up being more harmful than your average war: they can involve many more countries than two parties to an armed conflict; cause more human suffering and last much longer; inflict more widespread economic loss, impede economic and human recovery; leave more hatred in their wake; and yes, sanctions have hardly ever achieved their intended goal. So what’s so good about sanctions?

    George Washington University must be held accountable for taking advantage of the generosity of Iran

    This is a brief story of a gift from the Ministry of Higher Education of Iran to the George Washington University (GW) in 1974, which inexplicably evaporated into thin air some 45 years later in 2019 and then miraculously reappeared in 2022.

    There’s corruption and there’s corruption—the Al-Sauds take the cake

    Does Saudi Arabia’s constitution condone corruption and murder?

    Let’s admit it upfront. Corruption is everywhere in the world. In the United States, big time donors give big bucks or “dark money” to politicians to legislate and change laws in their favor. Still we are lucky in the United States that we can call out corruption and face no prison term and dismemberment. This is far from the case in Saudi Arabia, where such criticism of the Al-Sauds, the ruling tribe, could lead to your death or land you in jail.

    Economic sanctions are a global curse 

    A world regressing beyond repair

    Political leaders in the United States have touted economic sanctions as being less costly and more humanitarian than wars to affect the objectionable policies of an adversary. I beg to differ.

    Biden Brings as much shame to Americans as MBS brings to Muslims

    Muslims the world over must shun Mohammad bin Salman and members of the al-Saud tribe. They must demand that Saudi Arabia relinquish its control over Islam’s two holiest places in Mecca and Medina and place management of the two sites under the stewardship of all Muslim countries.

    TEHRAN- Iran and America were the closest of allies before the Iranian Revolution of 1979, but they are now implacable enemies. How have such allies become such enemies for more than forty years?
