By Yorgos Mitralias "And now we ask: How can you eat, sleep, live? How guilty will you feel in your hearts if you do not move heaven and earth to come to our aid by the only means available to our people and as soon as possible? (...) For the love of God, do something now, and quickly.“ This desperate cry for help, quoted by Saul Friedländer in his monumental work ”Nazi Germany and the … [Read more...]
First setbacks for apprentice dictator Donald Trump!
By Yorgos Mitralias Only the blind cannot see what is now obvious: Trump wants to be a dictator, behaves like one, and is doing everything he can to establish a dictatorship! Seen from this angle, all his recent “initiatives” and other more or less “crazy” and supposedly incomprehensible measures make sense because they are part of his historic project: to establish a dictatorial regime in … [Read more...]
Too late for Israel and the Israelis to free themselves from their genocidal demons!
By Yorgos Mitralias After twenty months of daily massacres of civilians—especially women and children—and acts of unspeakable deadly sadism, including the organized starvation of the inhabitants of Gaza, the Israeli state, but also Israeli society, are facing their moment of truth as never before. So, can the Zionist state become “normal,” a state more or less like any other? In short, is it … [Read more...]
Famine as a weapon of genocide
by Yorgos Mitralias The images of the children of Gaza, which most Western media refuse to show, leave no doubt: they are reminiscent of those of the Nazi extermination camps filmed by filmmakers such as John Ford, Samuel Fuller or George Stevens just after their liberation by the American army: living skeletons, skin glued to bones, eyes sunken into sockets, eyes misty! It's clear, then, … [Read more...]
Rich and powerful versus poor and weak – Trump is globalizing the class struggle!
By Yorgos Mitralias The first 100 days of Trump's second presidency have been enough for Trumpism to upset not only the certainties of the international order established by those from above, but also the dispositions and perception of that international order by those from below! And one of the first, but major, consequences of this upheaval is that the international landscape of those from … [Read more...]
Internationalism in action as an antidote to the nationalist poison of resurgent fascism!
by Yorgos Mitralias ‘The second story relates to the Wilna ghetto. Until its extermination, some of the men were taken out of the ghetto to work in an arms factory. The director of the factory was a young SS officer (his name can be found in Kovner's book) who took a good look at the men who came to work every morning. Having realised that Kovner was their leader, he arranged to see him face … [Read more...]
Gaza: “More than a human being can bear”
By Yorgos Mitralias The report by the UN Independent Commission* on Israel's sexual and reproductive crimes against Palestinians confirms what we already knew: the Zionist state systematically and massively uses sexual violence against Palestinian women, men, girls and boys! But the report also tells us something else: these sexual and reproductive crimes committed by Israel are an … [Read more...]
No illusions! Like the good fascists they are, Trump and his friends will violate international law and all established rules!
by Yorgos Mitralias When, at the beginning of the century, the great American writer Philip Roth rewrote the history of his country with his extraordinary novel 'The plot Against America', by having the legendary pro-Nazi aviator Charles Lindbergh elected President of the United States instead of Franklin Roosevelt, he probably could not have imagined that the political … [Read more...]
React before it’s too late
Against the Brown International of Putin-Trump-Musk-Netanyahu! by Yorgos Mitralias United but desperately alone! United in their slaughter, their bloodshed and their loneliness. And united, too, in the same relentless resistance for life, liberty and national self-determination. The martyred Palestinian and Ukrainian peoples united...against the same executioners united. Indeed, wasn't it … [Read more...]
Together with Musk, Vance and MileiTrump the “peacemaker” like Hitler the “chancellor of peace”!
by Yorgos Mitralias Friedenskanzler, i.e. Chancellor of Peace. If we tell you that's what Hitler was called before he started the Second World War, you won't believe your ears. And yet it's true, because the image of a “pacifist” Hitler was cultivated not only by his acolytes, but also by those Europeans - and they were the majority - who liked to take his professions of faith in favor of … [Read more...]
