New Internationalism

Phyllis Bennis discusses how to win a cease-fire in Gaza, prevent a nuclear war, and shift U.S. policy and funds away from imperialist wars.

Despite weaknesses and false U.S. claims that the resolution is nonbinding, it demands an end to the bombing and a massive influx of humanitarian aid.

Phyllis Bennis tells Democracy Now that recognizing the “importance” of a ceasefire isn’t the same as demanding one. But it’s still a sign that pressure is working.

Instead of using his leverage and pressuring Israel to simply let aid through, President Joe Biden is playing games.

Beyond the dangers that any airdrop faces in conflict or famine areas, sometimes particular risks make such a plan life-threatening.

The US president is showing no sign of altering his actual policy of unconditional support for Israel as it carries out a genocide in Gaza.

Unearthing Black internationalism’s legacy can inform our fight for liberation in Palestine — and beyond.

Following Washington’s lead, key US allies have cut funding for the United Nations Relief Works Agency for Palestine—making them all complicit in genocide.

In an exclusive interview with The Middle East Eye, Bennis explains the significance of the initial ICJ ruling in a historic case accusing Israel of genocide. Bennis also explains the critical role civil society can play in demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

“I only hope that Biden will, on this occasion, stand up for justice.”

The legacy of U.S. efforts to “fight terrorism” has always been mass death and displacement. Israel has been taking notes.

U.S. strikes on Yemen are threatening a wider regional war. Diplomacy, not bombs, is the way to avoid a dangerous escalation.

And that’s an increasingly isolated point of view in this country, where 66 percent of people support a ceasefire.

Why we need a ceasefire to save lives, release the hostages, prosecute war crimes, and follow international law: a guide for those still uneasy, unconvinced, or uncertain.

Reaching a long-term cease-fire would require clear and unequivocal action, not just polite words.

On Al Jazeera, Phyllis Bennis says it’s not the number of states that’s important — it’s justice for all who live in the region.

In demanding a ceasefire and relief to Gaza, we are upholding a tradition of Black freedom struggle that sees justice as a matter that extends across and beyond national borders

Phyllis Bennis’s recent op-ed in the Weekender is cited for providing much needed historical context for the suffering in Gaza.
