Macron Discovers Courage: Netanyahu Cries Antisemitism

So, Emmanuel Macron has finally written a letter to Benjamin Netanyahu. In it, the French president commits the ultimate crime in today’s political theater: he suggests that recognizing a Palestinian state is not antisemitism. Yes, you heard correctly. Supporting Palestinian statehood, Macron says, is actually essential for Israel’s security and for Europe’s stability. Imagine that — peace as a security strategy. Revolutionary!

Of course, Netanyahu wasted no time in dusting off his favorite script: everything critical of Israel = antisemitism. Macron’s letter is apparently “pouring fuel on the antisemitic fire,” because nothing says Jew-hatred like wanting Palestinians not to live in rubble and famine.

Macron, to his credit, fires back with the obvious: the occupation, displacement, starvation, and annexation aren’t exactly breeding global goodwill. In fact, they are making Israel a pariah, emboldening real antisemitism, and placing Jewish communities worldwide at greater risk. But hey, why confront uncomfortable truths when you can just call Macron an antisemite-by-proxy?

Meanwhile, Charles Kushner — yes, Jared’s father, because apparently American diplomacy is now a family franchise — rushes in to defend Netanyahu. In the Wall Street Journal, Kushner scolds Macron: recognizing Palestine will “embolden extremists” and “endanger Jewish life in France.” Translation: if you stop giving Israel a blank check, you’re responsible for the next broken synagogue window in Paris. The State Department, naturally, nodded along.

Let’s pause here. Sixty thousand Palestinians dead. Gaza in famine. Two million people displaced. Hospitals bombed. Journalists killed. Children starving to death on livestream. And yet the scandal, according to Netanyahu and his American echo chamber, is Macron daring to call for a Palestinian state at the UN in September.

Yes, Macron isn’t exactly a hero — France has been complicit for decades, and his “loyal friend” routine shows he’s still trying to hold both ends of the rope. But at least he’s acknowledging reality: Israel’s war is a humanitarian disaster that “nothing can justify.” That’s already light-years ahead of Washington’s gaslighting, where famine doesn’t exist until the IDF issues a press release confirming it.

Macron even hits Netanyahu with the question of the century:
“We are offering you a path forward… What path can you offer?”

The answer, of course, is obvious: more bombs, more starvation, more mass graves. Israel has only one path left, and it’s paved with blood and international isolation.

Netanyahu wants the world to believe that antisemitism is rising because Macron dares to recognize Palestine — not because Israel is livestreaming the obliteration of an entire people. That trick may have worked once. It doesn’t anymore. The mask is off, the world is watching, and Macron just said the quiet part out loud:
The fight against antisemitism must not be weaponized.

Finally, a European leader who manages to state the obvious — and for that, he’s treated like the arsonist of Paris.

Dr. Randa Abdel Fattah. De-Invited by Association: When Grief Becomes a Pretext and Palestinian Identity a Liability

How Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah Was Silenced in the Name of “Sensitivity” In a remarkable feat of moral gymnastics, Australia’s literary establishment has once again demonstrated how grief can be weaponised, principles suspended, and Palestinian identity rendered dangerously “inappropriate ” —all in the name of cultural sensitivity. Dr. Randa Abdel-Fattah , a respected author, academic, and public intellectual, was quietly de-invited from Adelaide Writers’ Week following the Bondi Junction massacre. Not because she had any connection—real, implied, or imagined—to the atrocity. Not because she endorsed violence. Not because she violated any law or ethical standard. But because, apparently, the mere presence of a Palestinian Muslim woman who speaks about justice is now considered culturally unsafe during national mourning . One wonders: unsafe for whom? The Logic of the Absurd Festival organisers were careful—almost impressively so—to state that Dr. Abdel-Fattah had nothing to do wi...

Ana Kasparian: The Voice That Won’t Be Silent — A Call for Truth in an Age of Power

Ana Kasparian is one of the most recognized and outspoken voices in contemporary political media. As a co-host of The Young Turks — a trailblazing online news and commentary program — she has spent nearly two decades dissecting U.S. politics, media, power, and foreign policy with unapologetic clarity and fierce conviction. She is not just a commentator — she is a truth-seeker who challenges power at every turn , refusing to soften her words for comfort. Schooled in journalism and political science, Ana’s commentary continues to mobilize millions, especially younger generations who feel unheard in mainstream discourse. A Voice Against the Status Quo Ana’s rhetoric can be bold, controversial, and deeply passionate — because she refuses to accept narratives that obscure the underlying truth about power and influence. On American democracy and foreign policy, she strikes at the heart of what many hesitate to articulate: “ We don’t actually live in a true democracy here in t...

Gaza and the Collapse of World Order: When the Guardian of Human Rights Sounds the Alarm

There are moments when the language of diplomacy fails, when caution becomes complicity, and when silence becomes an accomplice to destruction. On January 9, 2026, Agnès Callamard—Secretary General of Amnesty International—crossed that threshold. Her words were unambiguous, unprecedented, and devastating: The United States is destroying world order. Israel has been doing so for the last two years. Germany, through complicity and repression, is helping govern its demise. This was not activist rhetoric. It was a diagnosis from the very institution tasked with guarding the moral and legal architecture of the modern world. The Collapse of the Post-War Moral Architecture The international order that emerged after World War II was built on a promise: never again . Never again genocide. Never again collective punishment. Never again impunity for powerful states. That promise was codified in international law, human rights conventions, and multilateral institutions. But Gaza has...

Rebranding Genocide: When Killing Learns New Words

There are moments in history when crimes do not end — they simply learn new language. Gaza is living inside such a moment. The bombs have not stopped falling. The children have not stopped dying. The displaced have not stopped freezing in tents pitched atop rubble that was once their homes. What has changed is the vocabulary . And in the modern age, vocabulary is power . If you can rename atrocity, you can anesthetize conscience. First, it was called self-defense — a phrase emptied of meaning by its repetition. Then it became a war , despite the grotesque imbalance: one side armed with one of the most advanced militaries on earth, backed by the world’s most powerful empire ; the other a besieged civilian population without an army, navy, air force, tanks, or safe shelter. Now it is branded a ceasefire — a word invoked not to stop violence, but to conceal it. This is not peace. It is genocide with a quieter soundtrack. The Illusion of Restraint A slowed rate of killing is not m...

Citizens on Paper, Expendable in Practice Arab Israelis, October 7, and the Failure of International Law Inside the “Only Democracy”

Israel tells the world it is the only democracy in the Middle East . Democracies, we are reminded, protect all citizens equally—especially minorities—especially in times of crisis. Now look at Palestinian citizens of Israel , roughly 20% of the population , in the months following October 7 . Then ask: what exactly does citizenship mean when the state will not protect your life? The Forgotten Fifth of the Population Arab citizens of Israel vote. They hold passports. They pay taxes. They are citizens in the narrow, bureaucratic sense. But international law does not define citizenship by paperwork. It defines it by: Equal protection Non-discrimination The right to life Equal access to justice On those measures, Israel is not merely failing—it is structurally violating its obligations . A Murder Epidemic the State Chooses Not to Stop Long before October 7, Arab towns inside Israel were drowning in violence: Illegal weapons proliferated Organized crime flourished ...
