Gaza’s Genocide Inversion: Setting the Record Straight

This video refutes the dire and growing accusation circulating globally—one that seeks to delegitimize Zionism, demonize Israel, and implicitly provoke hostility toward Jews both inside and outside the borders of the Jewish state–that Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians.

The Prospects for a Democratic Transition in Venezuela

The first phase focuses on oil. Owing to sanctions, much of Venezuela’s oil production is effectively frozen. Under this plan, American companies would help rehabilitate oil production and facilitate sales, while profits would be managed in a way intended to benefit the Venezuelan population rather than fuel corruption or sustain the regime.

What Comes After Maduro Is the Real Test

On the morning of January 3, U.S. special operations forces arrested Venezuelan leader Nicolás
Maduro in a highly coordinated operation that immediately drew global attention. U.S.
authorities allege that Maduro oversaw an extensive drug-trafficking network that harmed
American interests. Critics, some quoted by The New York Times, questioned whether the scale
of narcotics flows from other regions poses a more immediate threat, raising broader questions
about the operation’s justification.

Saving Grandma

Should we ever let people die? That is, when reasonable efforts and not unreasonable expenses would save a life should we ever send an individual to their death? Never is a difficult standard, here as everywhere, as we send young people to war, remove dying and incurable patients from life-support, and, in the workplace, construct tunnels and buildings and open mining operations with the near certainty that significant numbers of workers will die in the effort.
