The Return Of Co-Existence

Ezra Klein, one of the resident Zionists in The New York Times’ opinion section (or is everyone appearing in those pages a Zionist of one or another stripe?) had a guest on his Wednesday podcast who had some mind-focusing things to say. May Pundak is an Israeli human-rights attorney and co-founder of A Land for All, a group of Israeli and Palestinian activists. Pundak has interesting bloodlines: Her father, Ron Pundak, helped frame the Oslo Accords in the early 1990s. Here is part of what Pundak told Klein: “I found myself advocating for the two-state solution for many, many years. But at a certain point I started feeling that this model is crumbling beneath my, between my fingers, and I can’t — I don’t believe in it anymore…. This idea of peace, of negotiations, of a two-state solution is becoming not relevant in the public discourse.

NATO 3.0: Alliance or Military-Industrial Investment Fund?

July 4, 2026 Biljana Vankovska, Counter Punch. Educate! European Union (EU), Militarization, Military Industrial Complex, NATO

These are difficult times for anyone who has consistently criticised NATO. From the era of ‘defending the Free World’ against communism, through the age of ‘humanitarian intervention’ and the ‘Global War on Terror,’ to today’s supposedly existential struggle against almost the entire non-Western world, the Alliance has repeatedly reinvented the narratives that justify its existence. The language changes; the underlying logic does not. NATO remains indispensable, and every new enemy (whether discovered, exaggerated, or actively produced) becomes further proof of its necessity.

Europe Is Burning: Deadly Heatwave Exposes Criminality Of Fossil Capitalism

July 3, 2026 Michael Leonardi, Counter Punch. Educate! Capitalism, European Union (EU), Fossil Fuels, Global heating

Europe is on fire. Record-shattering heat waves have gripped the continent, pushing temperatures above 40°C (104°F) in multiple countries, buckling infrastructure, overwhelming hospitals, and claiming thousands of lives. This is not a natural disaster. It is the foreseeable, profitable outcome of decades of fossil fuel addiction and capitalist extraction. According to a sobering analysis by The Economist, the late-June heat spike could cause around 12,000 excess deaths across Europe. The study, covering 854 cities, shows that human-caused climate change has made the event far more lethal than it would have been otherwise.

Weaponizing Civil Death To Crush Dissidents

July 2, 2026 The Chris Hedges Report. Resistance Report European Union (EU), Germany, Huseyin Dogru, Palestine, Press Freedom, Sanctions

The war on information in the West has tread new grounds since the genocide in Palestine. Journalists and media outlets who report on the imperialist endeavors of the ruling class increasingly find themselves under the boot of legislators who concoct fascist legislation to act as imperial henchmen. Their methods are stretching the limits of the law with the scope and severity of the punishments imposed. Nowhere is this repression more apparent than in Germany where, since October 7 of 2023, governments have banned languages and symbols related to Palestine and many people, not only journalists but also professors, doctors and lawyers, have lost their jobs for speaking out against the genocide or participating in pro-Palestine demonstrations.

Heat Waves, Brain Waves

One hundred four degrees Fahrenheit in Paris, a new record? That is what I read Thursday. Paris, as I figured out while studying there decades ago and freezing through the dark winters, is latitudinally further north (roughly 48.8°N) than Nova Scotia (43.5°N – 47°N). The heat wave of all heat waves has Europeans in a state of shock and panic. There are “red alerts” across the Continent. In the foothills of the Alps temperatures are running into the mid–90s. The Swiss… how to put it?… do not know quite what to do when it is in the mid–90s. In Paris, a 44–year-old computer engineer named Stéphane Guillaume watched the other day as his two children swam in the Canal Saint–Martin, a Right Bank waterway built for barge traffic in the early 19th century.

Cloud, Platforms, And Search Engines Are Public-Interest Institutions

June 28, 2026 Cecilia Rikap, Kirsten Van Gestel, and Klara Ledroit, Transform Network. Create! Capitalism, European Union (EU), Public ownership, Technology

Today, US tech giants increasingly capture and profit from knowledge, research, and technologies produced in European universities and public institutions. The result is a deepening digital dependency: the European Union relies on foreign-owned platforms that control not only our data, but also the way we communicate, work, think and, ultimately, live our lives. For economist Cecilia Rikap, Associate Professor in Economics and Head of Research at the Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose at University College London (IIPP-UCL), this dependency is not merely economic: it is also a democratic issue.

Burkina Faso Rejects EU Resolution As ‘Neo-Colonial’ Interference

The European Parliament adopted a resolution on June 18, criticizing Burkina Faso’s human rights record, civic freedoms, and governance under the government led by popular leader Ibrahim Traore. In response, Burkina Faso summoned the Head of the European Union Delegation in Ouagadougou, rejecting the resolution as an infringement on its sovereignty and accusing European lawmakers of relying on misinformation and a neo-colonial understanding of African affairs. The European Parliament passed the resolution with 476 votes to 11, and 75 abstentions.

The Economic And Political Losses Of The European Union

The subordination to Washington that Western Europe’s millionaire leaders have reinforced over the past decade with the aim of weakening Russia has cost those nations widespread economic, political, and military deterioration, as well as a loss of credibility on the international stage. The British newspaper Financial Times recently estimated that the numerous anti-Russian “sanctions” imposed by the European Union (EU) and Great Britain at the behest of the White House have caused companies doing business in Russia to suffer losses of more than 100,000 million euros, specifically in the oil and gas sectors, as well as financial institutions, insurance companies, banks, public utilities, and the automotive industry.

‘Welfare Not Warfare’ Protest Demands Halt To Europe’s Rearmament

On Sunday, June 14, over 12,000 people joined the “Welfare Not Warfare” protest in Brussels, organized by more than 800 civil society organizations, trade unions, and movements to oppose EU and NATO rearmament. “The coalition rejects the idea that Europe’s security can be bought through a massive rearmament project that starves social budgets and escalates confrontation,” the Stop ReArm Europe platform wrote in the protest announcement. “Ongoing wars, occupation, genocide, and military violence are shaping lives around the world – from Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon to Yemen, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo,” Juliette Mattijsen from the People’s Health Movement (PHM) Europe told BreakThrough News.

Europe And The US At The Crossroads, Then And Now

June 4, 2026 Richard D. Wolff, Scheer Post. Educate! European Union (EU), History, Socialism, Trump Administration

By the end of World War 2 in Europe, that continent’s extremely violent self-destruction had killed tens of millions and wrecked many economies. Its politically dominant employer classes had driven their national governments to a clash that had produced those results. By 1945 the war’s outcome had proved far worse than many in those classes had imagined or wanted before the war. Europeans had struggled after 1917/1918 to overcome their self-destruction in World War 1. In the short span between the end of the First and the beginning of the Second World War, Europe destabilized itself via its reparations program, Germany’s staggering inflation, and then global capitalism’s worst ever collapse in 1929.

Activists In Bucharest Conference Reject Militarization

May 21, 2026 Ana Vracar, People's Dispatch. Organize! Elbit, European Union (EU), Militarization, Palestine, Romania

As Romania prepared to host a Bucharest Nine (B9) summit and the Black Sea Defense, Aerospace and Security arms exposition, over 100 people gathered to discuss anti-militarization and solidarity with Palestine at the “From Palestine to the Black Sea” counter-conference. The meeting followed months of work through the Elbit Out! campaign, aiming to unmask and drive Israeli arms producer Elbit System out of the country, where several of its subsidiaries currently operate. A day before the counter-conference launched on May 9, Palestine solidarity activists organized a protest in front of one of these subsidiaries in Chitila near Bucharest, warning that its production lines include drone variants used in the genocide in Gaza.

Iranian FM Says ‘No Trust’ In Talks With US, Declares Hormuz Open

On 15 May, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said the Strait of Hormuz remains open to vessels except those “at war” with Tehran, and stressed that Iran has “no trust” in the US regarding negotiations. Speaking to reporters in New Delhi during a BRICS foreign ministers meeting, Araghchi said Tehran would only negotiate with Washington if it proves “serious.” He described the situation in the Strait of Hormuz as “very complicated,” as both the US and Iran enforce competing restrictions on maritime traffic, with each side allowing or blocking vessels based on their ties to the opposing side.

The EU Has Finally Agreed To Sanction Violent Israeli Settlers

Israeli settler groups committing violence against Palestinians in the West Bank could now be sanctioned by the European Union, after 27 foreign ministers of EU countries greenlit imposing sanctions on violent settlers and settler groups on Monday. The ministers also decided to sanction Hamas leaders. The decision came at a meeting of EU foreign ministers in Brussels, which discussed major Middle East political portfolios. The decision was announced by the EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas, who announced on X that it was “high time for us to move from deadlock to delivery,” adding that “extremisms and violence carry consequences.”

Spain To Formally Call On EU To Suspend Agreement With Israel

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez announced on 19 April that his government will formally propose that the EU suspend its Association Agreement with Israel. “A government that violates international law and, therefore, the principles and values of the EU cannot be our partner,” Sanchez said, speaking at a PSOE rally in the province of Huelva. “This Tuesday, the Government of Spain will take to Europe the proposal that the EU sever its association with Israel,” he stressed. Sanchez was careful to say that Spain’s stance is directed against the Israeli government and its policies, and not its citizens, saying, "We are a people friendly to Israel.”
