Mairead Maguire, Nobel Peace Laureate – TRANSCEND Media Service,
29 Nov 2021
25 Nov 2021 – It was with deep sadness that on 23 Nov the world watched in horror the news that 27 people had drowned in the English Channel when their flimsy dinghy overturned attempting to cross from Calais to Dover. I am sorry and I ask the forgiveness of migrants and refugees who have been forced to flee their lands.

Ultimate Dog Whistle: World Misses Israel’s Hebrew-Language Incitement against Palestinians
Miko Peled | MintPress News – TRANSCEND Media Service,
29 Nov 2021
22 Nov 2021 – Israeli State-sponsored terrorism and incitement against the Palestinians are not new. The Naqab–Zionist incitement against Palestinians–is at all-time high but you wouldn’t know it because it is all done in Hebrew. The violent, racist-supremacist discourse that takes place in the Israeli media and among Israeli politicians is all in Hebrew and so it gets little or no attention worldwide.

22 Nov 2021 – Neither Obama, Trump nor Biden has dared to present their reasons for risking World War III over Ukraine or Taiwan to the American public, because there is no good reason.

Richard E. Rubenstein – TRANSCEND Media Service,
29 Nov 2021
Those in the USA beating the drums of war are driven by concerns they may be unaware: fears that the social fabric is disintegrating, that white rule on a global level is obsolescent, or that their nation’s role as a global hegemon (or “leader”) is ending. The main task of US peace advocates today is to help citizens to understand that preparing for a war with China will not allay any of these fears or solve the problems, which can only happen by confronting the homeland elites that monopolize wealth, power, and social status for their own agendas.

22 Nov 2021
18 Nov 2021 – No matter how important is to frame the nuclear weapons debate on a global scale, let’s be honest: nuclear weapons exist and are produced, legitimized and used within national frameworks. Global civil society and international deals and treaties sound great but they all remain empty rhetoric and lip-service unless the internal democratic forces start fighting against current security and defence policies.
