Quds News Network, 23 avril 2026.- Selon un article de Haaretz, des soldats israéliens ont pillé d'importantes quantités de biens civils dans des habitations et des commerces du Sud-Liban lors de la récente offensive. Ces pillages sont généralisés au sein des forces israéliennes, des incidents similaires ayant déjà été signalés en Syrie, à Gaza et lors de la précédente offensive au Liban.

Ghaith J. (*), 7 avril 2026. En décembre dernier, mon voyage de la Cisjordanie occupée à Istanbul - qui aurait dû se résumer à trois heures de route jusqu'à l'aéroport, suivies de deux heures et demie de vol - a duré près de 36 heures.

Pourquoi un voyage régional a-t-il pris plus de temps qu'un voyage en Amérique du Sud ou en Asie ? Parce qu'il est devenu absurdement difficile de traverser le tristement célèbre Pont Allenby (également connu sous le nom de pont du Roi Hussein ou pont Al-Karameh) pour rejoindre la Jordanie - le seul point de passage reliant les Palestiniens de Cisjordanie au reste du monde, qui fait office de poste de contrôle israélien supplémentaire.

Sayid Marcos Tenorio, 22 avril 2026. La décision de Donald Trump d'annoncer unilatéralement une prolongation indéfinie du cessez-le-feu avec l'Iran, sans aucune demande de Téhéran, révèle bien plus qu'une simple tentative de médiation. Elle met en lumière l'échec de l'approche militaire de Washington et la difficulté pour les États-Unis de maintenir une escalade face à un adversaire qui ne cède pas à la logique de l'intimidation.

"Les agriculteurs de la bande de Gaza vivent une réalité extrêmement difficile ; avec le renforcement du blocus et la poursuite des restrictions imposées à l'entrée des intrants agricoles, l'agriculteur gazaoui se retrouve face à une équation presque impossible.

International Man: Tax Day just passed on April 15th. What does it say about a society when productive people must spend part of every spring calculating how much tribute they owe the State?

Doug Casey: It's said that nothing is certain except death and taxes. But let's reserve a conversation about the inevitability of death for another day.

Taxes are not only unnecessary for running a civil society, but evil (Click here for a free copy of Market for Liberty).

Donald Trump ran for the presidency as a populist and he won as a populist. All the usual suspects-such as Hillary Clinton-condemned him as a populist. The political playbook his campaign followed served up the typical populist fare for the voters. That is, Trump promised to serve the "common people" by fighting against the ruling class, "draining the swamp," punishing the corrupt, ending the government gravy train, and generally throwing a monkey wrench in the whole ruling class's machine of exploitation.

The war on Iran is disrupting the trade, transport, and energy corridors at the heart of Eurasian integration.

The war of choice on Iran by the US is not only redefining geopolitics but also interfering with, destabilizing, and reorienting what The Cradle described in June 2022 as The War of Economic Connectivity Corridors; arguably the key geoeconomic paradigm of Eurasian integration in the 21^st century.

The Quiet Collapse of Masculinity in the West

Across the Western world, something unusual-and deeply unsettling-is happening.

Marriage rates are collapsing. Birth rates have fallen below replacement levels. And more men than ever are quietly withdrawing-from relationships, from institutions, and from public life itself.

Recent debates around gender policy, workplace dynamics, and the reshaping of family life have brought these issues back into focus-but the deeper shift began long before the headlines.

"The cost of war is too damn high
Not another nickel
Not another dime
We won't pay for Trump's war crimes."

In Munich, the US announced its intent to crush all opposition to its permanent status as imperial top dog, even if that means destroying everything, and all of us, in the process

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's speech at the Munich Security Conference last weekend was another troubling declaration of intent by the Trump administration.

The explicit goal of US foreign policy, according to Rubio, is to resurrect the western colonial order that persisted for some five centuries until the Second World War.

U.S. President Donald Trump has again chickened out of his threats to Iran:

Trump said the ceasefire had been due to end on Wednesday, but he decided to keep it in place because the government in Tehran is "seriously fractured."

He said the pause will continue "until such time as" Iran's leaders and representatives submit a "unified proposal" to end the war with the United States and Israel.

There are, of course, consequences of the U.S. war on Iran that are easy to see. The deaths and injuries of thousands of Iranians. The deaths and injuries of dozens of U.S. soldiers. The massive destruction of homes, businesses, ships, and infrastructure in Iran and nearby countries. Gasoline prices and the prices of other things soaring.

A Yale University professor of law and history, Samuel Moyn, has resurrected and redefined Marxian class conflict. In the old Marxism, the capitalists exploited the workers. In Moyn's version, elderly Americans exploit the young. Moyn's solution, espoused, of course, in the New York Times (April 21), is for the old to be dispossessed of their homes, jobs, accumulated wealth, and political and judicial offices.

They understand that humans are storytelling animals whose inner lives are typically dominated by mental narratives about what's happening, so if you can control those narratives, you can control the humans.

Former Israeli intelligence officer Ella Kenan was seen at a recent pro-Israel conference saying she runs an online influence operation that works with "communities of over sixty thousand people around the world that make our content viral" to manipulate public discourse and "serve the narrative" of Israel.

The unique and virulent epidemic that erupted in Brooklyn in May-June 1916 has long been a fascinating mystery. A 2011 paper presents a plausible solution.

Last year, when I was researching polio for our book Vaccines: Mythology, Ideology, and Reality, I was struck by the uniqueness of a 1916 epidemic of paralytic polio in New York City. The disease broke out in what was then a poor neighborhood of Brooklyn, largely inhabited by recently arrived Italian immigrants.
