THE LAROUCHE DOCTRINE: IMPLEMENT IT NOW, BEFORE ITS TOO LATE
“The political foundation for durable peace must be: a) The unconditional sovereignty of each and all nation-states, and b) Cooperation among sovereign nation-states to the effect of promoting unlimited opportunities to participate in the benefits of technological progress, to the mutual benefit of each and all. “The most crucial feature of present implementation of such […]
BY BANNING AID AGENCIES FROM GAZA, ISRAEL HAS SEALED THE DEMISE OF PALESTNIANS
Spare a thought for the Palestinian people in 2026. The anti-Palestine dice is so heavily loaded against them that one shudders to think if there can be any worse form of catastrophe the Palestinians have never known. In 2025, we witnessed what appeared like a surge in the countries undertaking to officially recognize Palestinian statehood. […]
BEFORE THE DOOR CLOSES
The world, as Helga Zepp-LaRouche warned, is “hanging between hope and disaster,” and the outcome depends on whether action replaces inertia. There are openings. The continued dialogue between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin, described by both sides as productive, marks a meaningful path forward toward ending the conflict playing out in Ukraine. Alongside diplomatic movement forward […]
DIPLOMACY MUST OVERCOME WHAT SOME CALL DESTINY
As the danger of wider war mounts across multiple theaters, a quiet but consequential intervention is underway. Kirill Dmitriev has arrived in Florida for weekend meetings with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, focused on ending the Ukraine conflict. At a moment when rhetoric elsewhere races toward “unprecedented” escalation—from the Baltic to the Caribbean—the very fact […]
WHY A FREE PALESTINE IS THE ONLY PATH TO ENDING THE CRISIS IN GAZA
As this week marked the 48th Commemoration of the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People and the celebration of 30 years of diplomatic relations between South Africa and the State of Palestine, a stark reminder echoes in our minds that the world has watched Gaza burn for far too long. Every cycle […]
GROUNDS FOR HOPE, GROUNDS FOR MOBILIZING
Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Donald Trump conferred by phone on November 24, an important part of whose conversation featured reference to the historical collaboration by their respective nations to fight fascism. This was raised by President Xi, who initiated the call, in connection with making clear the relationship of Taiwan to China. […]
FORGET ABOUT THE STATE OF PALESTINE – TRUMP, NETANYAHU, HOLD THE CARDS
This week’s sudden bombardment of Gaza by the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) on the instruction of the Jewish State’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu leaves too much to be desired. It is an appalling act of genocidal intent made a lot worse by revelations that Netanyahu had given the White House prior warning of the bombardment, […]
GAZA’S DEMISE IS NOT ON ISRAEL’S BRUTALITY, IT IS ON THE WATCH OF THE US, PERIOD!
The US has correctly gained international reputation as a dishonest peace broker. There is no need to look beyond Gaza, the epicentre of the failure of global diplomacy. Every credible institution in the world has descried the ongoing Israeli genocide in Gaza since October 2023. It is the human tragedy never seen in both scope […]
THE UN IS TEETERING ON THE BRINK OF TOTAL COLLAPSE
This week, as world leaders gathered in New York for the UN General Assembly (UNGA) high-level debate as part of celebrating the 80th anniversary of the founding of the UN, gloom and doom over-shadowed the waning nobility of the organisation’s charter. The “high-level week” at the UN is held every year in September, and attracts heads […]
STATEMENT BY PRESIDENT RAMAPHOSA DURING THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
“This is a matter of great significance, not only for the people of Palestine, not only for the people of Israel, but for all people who cherish the ideals of freedom and self-determination. Shortly after the United Nations was created, the General Assembly adopted Resolution 181, which recommended the creation of two states, Israel and […]
THE DETERIORATING US-EU RELATIONS HERALDS THE DAWN OF A NEW INTERNATIONAL WORLD ORDER
The flurry of geopolitical activities, and the turbo-charged speed at which the reconfiguration of the international world order is taking place, signals the demise of Europe as a sphere of significant influence in world politics. In the same vein, the rapid changes in international relations are characterized by the reawakening of the Global South as […]
FINALLY, WESTERN MEDIA SPEAKS OUT AGAINST ISRAEL – ALBEIT BELATEDLY!
The silence, nay, collaboration of the Western mainstream media with Israel’s genocidal military onslaught against Gaza and the Palestinian people in general has been mind-boggling. Since October 2023 when Hamas launched a surprise violent attack in Southern Israel that resulted in some 1,200 people killed, life for Palestinian men, women and children has been akin […]
