Here’s John Dugard, a professor of international law and previous special rapporteur to the UN Human Rights Council on the human rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory: BI:… Does the system in place in the occupied territories fit the UN definition of “apartheid”?… …
The selling off of our prized possessions
The record of private security company G4S is deeply troubling… (including in Papua New Guinea, from where I recently returned). So this news is both worrying and a sign of things to come globally.

Finally, in the NYT, acknowledgement that media leading us to war against Iran
