Chris Hedges Report: How Palestinian History Is Systemically Forgotten

December 3, 2025 Chris Hedges, Substack. , , ,
“How do we understand now if we don’t understand 1948 or 1917 or all the things that happened during the British Mandate?” This is a central question Micaela Sahhar, author and educator, asks while dissecting her book, Find Me at the Jaffa Gate. Sahhar reframes these monumental events in Palestinian history through an intimate, granular lens of her own family’s displacement during the 20th century. Sahhar joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report, sharing more personal narratives, revealing how her family lived through the pivotal moments that shaped modern Palestine.

Saudi Arabia Just Said No To Israel And The United States

November 22, 2025 Mnar Adley, MintPress News. , , , ,
The United States is trying to shape the Middle East in the image it wants. From pushing through its plan for Gaza at the United Nations, to pulling Syria and Saudi Arabia closer into its orbit, President Trump may soon get the Middle East that he desires. However, he will not get it all his own way, as forces from Iran, Yemen, and across the region still oppose Trump’s plans and fight against it. All the while, Israel continues to expand its control of its neighbors. This week, it has been stepping up bombing campaigns against targets in Lebanon from its bases in the occupied south of the country.

Chris Hedges Report: The Palestine Laboratory

November 20, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Filmmaker, author and journalist Antony Loewenstein documents how Israel has used Gaza as a weapons showcase. Spyware, killer drones, robot dogs and other weapons are debuted in Gaza and field-tested on the civilian population, demonstrating their effectiveness to regimes around the world that await their chance to purchase them. Loewenstein joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to chronicle what he has learned from writing The Palestine Laboratory: How Israel Exports the Technology of Occupation Around the World and producing The Palestine Laboratory, a documentary based on the book.

Join Us In Italy To Support The Nationwide Strike Against Israel

November 18, 2025 Chris Hedges, Peace & Planet News. , , , , ,
Western nations will do nothing to halt Israel’s ongoing slaughter of Palestinians. They will do nothing to alleviate the hunger and disease that is decimating Palestinians in Gaza. Our nations have been, and remain, full partners in the genocide. They will remain partners until the genocide reaches its grim conclusion. Unless we stop them. At least 242 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed by Israel since the “ceasefire” was announced. The first major ceasefire breach led to Israeli airstrikes that killed more than 100 Palestinians, including 46 children, and wounded 150 others.

Ecuador Votes To Reject Foreign Military Bases

November 18, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
The Donald Trump administration is trying to expand the presence of the US military across Latin America, in an attempt to forcibly impose Washington’s hegemony in the region. The people of Ecuador just delivered a major blow to Trump’s aggressive Latin America strategy. More than three-fifths of Ecuadorians voted to reject a change to their progressive constitution, which would have allowed the Pentagon to establish US military bases in their territory. Ecuador is currently governed by a right-wing president, Daniel Noboa, who is a key regional ally of Trump.

Chris Hedges Report: The Member States Complicit In Genocide

November 13, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
After two years of genocide, it is no longer possible to hide complicity in Israel’s crimes against the Palestinians. Entire countries and corporations are — according to multiple reports by UN Special Rapporteur on Palestine Francesca Albanese — either directly or indirectly involved in Israel’s economic proliferation. In her latest report, “Gaza Genocide: a collective crime,” Albanese details the role 63 nations played in supporting Israel’s genocide of the Palestinians. She chronicles how countries like the United States, which directly funds and arms Israel, are a part of a vast global economic web.

The New US-Russia Clash In Latin America

November 7, 2025 Mnar Adley and Alan MacLeod, MintPress News. , , , , , , , ,
Pushback from Latin American leaders are putting a wrench in the works of Donald Trump’s imperial ambitions. The Summit of the Americas– the U.S.-backed conference of regional leaders– has had to be cancelled (or, officially, postponed until 2026) due to threats of a mass boycott of the event. Leading this revolt are Gustavo Petro of Colombia and Claudia Sheinbaum of Mexico, who both declared they would skip the event in protest of the U.S. treatment of Venezuela, Cuba, and Nicaragua. With the summit promising to be a public relations disaster, the U.S. ordered it cancelled.

Chris Hedges Report: America Left Their Own To Die In The ’73 Chilean Coup

November 6, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , ,
The meddling and infiltration of governments in Latin America by the United States is a huge chapter of its 20th century history. One of the most egregious and blatant examples of intervention was in Chile, where the democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende was overthrown by the CIA-backed military coup in 1973. The ensuing years saw violent repression of student activists, labor leaders, journalists, leftwing politicians and dissidents at the helm of a brutal military dictatorship led by Augusto Pinochet. Among the victims of this ruthless crackdown were two American citizens, Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi.

China Surprised The US: Round One Goes To Beijing

November 5, 2025 India and Global Left. , , ,
In this episode, KJ Noh joins India & Global Left to break down the real meaning of the recent Xi–Trump talks — beyond the headlines. We explore why China surprised the United States, why “Round One goes to Beijing,” and what leverage each side truly holds in this evolving geopolitical contest. We also look at the deeper strategic competition shaping U.S.–China relations, the power shifts happening underneath the diplomacy, and what this moment means for the future of the Global South as more countries seek autonomy, multipolarity, and alternatives to the Western-led order.

Trump Failed To Pressure Countries To Support Illegal Blockade Of Cuba

November 3, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
A study by the firm Reputation Lab polled people in 60 major countries, and found that the United States has a very bad reputation. The US ranking fell from what was already a low rank of 30 out of 60 in 2024 to an even worse 48th place in 2025. A clear demonstration of the political isolation of the US government can be seen in votes at the United Nations. The vast majority of countries on Earth voted at the UN General Assembly on 29 October to demand an end to the illegal US blockade of Cuba, which has been maintained in blatant violation of international law for more than six decades. 165 countries, representing 85.5% of the UN’s 193 member states, voted in support of a resolution that emphasized the “necessity of ending the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba”.

Trump Is Clearly Losing The Trade War With China, Which He Started

November 2, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , ,
Donald Trump is losing the trade war against China, which he himself started. Trump held an important meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping in the South Korean city of Busan on 30 October. There, they came to a new agreement, which amounted to a one-year truce. The US government agreed to lift most of the punitive measures that it had imposed on China since April 2025, essentially bringing the situation back to what it was in January, when Trump entered office for his second term. Although this is not the end of the trade war, China clearly won this battle. The Financial Times (FT) noted that, “Unlike nearly 10 years ago, when Trump’s first trade offensive caught Beijing by surprise, this time a better prepared and economically more powerful China has been able to fight its once far mightier opponent to a standstill”.

Chris Hedges Report: Is Israel ‘On The Brink?’

October 30, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , , , ,
Despite the demoralization and destruction produced by Israel’s two-year-long genocidal campaign on the Palestinians, Israel potentially finds itself at its weakest point in its short history. In his new book, Israel on the Brink, renowned Israeli historian Ilan Pappé makes the case that Israel’s current path forward is unsustainable. With a combination of domestic, political, military and international pressures, Israel will continue to destabilize. Pappé writes, “A potential fall of Israel could either be like the end of South Vietnam, the total erasure of a state, or like South Africa, the fall of a particular ideological regime and its replacement by another. I believe that in the case of Israel, elements of both scenarios will unfold sooner than many of us can comprehend or prepare for.”

The ‘Donroe Doctrine’: Trump’s Neocolonial Plan For Latin America

October 27, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , , ,
The US government has always meddled in Latin America’s internal affairs. This is far from new. The United States overthrew at least 41 governments in Latin America from 1898 to 1994, according to research by Columbia University historian John Coatsworth. In the past three decades, Washington has backed dozens more coups, coup attempts, regime-change operations, and “color revolutions” in the region. The US military has intervened in every single country in Latin America, according to data from the Congressional Research Service. (The only exception is French Guiana, which is a colony of France.) US imperialism has always been bipartisan in Washington, and has continued under both Republican and Democratic presidents.

Why Trump Is Bailing Out Argentina’s Libertarian Leader

October 25, 2025 Ben Norton, Geopolitical Economy. , , , , , , ,
The Trump administration is talking about using $40 billion to bail out a foreign country: Argentina. So why is Trump abandoning his so-called “America First” stance to help a foreign leader? And who exactly is Argentina’s president Javier Milei, whose nickname is the “madman”, who calls himself an “anarcho-capitalist”, and who was the inspiration for Elon Musk’s federal cuts — and chainsaw stunts. This is a story that involves election meddling, brutal anti-worker austerity, economic crisis, corrupt corporate payouts, and, of course, crypto scams. Trump has bet a lot on Milei. The right-wing Argentine president is one of Trump’s closest allies on Earth. They have a lot of similarities.

Chris Hedges Report: The Rise Of The Thielverse

October 23, 2025 Chris Hedges, Scheer Post. , , ,
The descent into a new, mutated and technology-focused form of American fascism is already here. Those who have kept track of the rise of the Thielverse, which includes figures such as Peter Thiel, Elon Musk and JD Vance, have understood that an agenda to usher in a unique form of authoritarianism has been slowly introduced into the mainstream political atmosphere. Whitney Webb, investigative journalist and author of One Nation Under Blackmail, joins host Chris Hedges on this episode of The Chris Hedges Report to document the rise of this cabal into the most powerful positions of the American government.
