Murder Is Justice and Danger Is Safety What are we to say about a U.S. culture in which people can openly admire Germany for backing yet another genocide, and condemn warning of World War III as reckless endangerment?

How Can We Still Pretend to Be for Peace? Let Me Count the Ways I'm reminded of a school board member here in Virginia who wanted to approve recognizing the International Day of Peace as long as it could be made clear that he wasn't against any wars.

What If New Zealand Were to Abolish Its Military The world should read a new book from New Zealand called Abolishing the Military. New Zealand has decidedly not yet followed Costa Rica and stashed its military in a museum. And were it to do so, I can virtually guarantee you that CNN would never mention the act. But the argument for doing so is powerfully laid out in this book and -- whether the authors mean it to or not -- applies with very slight tweaking to any nation.

Who Should Have Won the Past 123 Nobel Peace Prizes The Nobel Peace Prize is often criticized when the committee that awards it gives the prize to vicious warmongers and to people who've done great things that had nothing to do with abolishing war or armaments. But who would ideally have won the prize each year since 1901?

Why Not Knowing How Israel Was Created Matters It goes on mattering, decade after decade, that most U.S. students never encounter the word Nakba. It matters that Israel was created in 1948 through war/terrorism, through massacring families, driving some 750,000 people out of their homes, demolishing over 400 villages. It's not difficult to know. Many books even comic books have been published, films have been made, apps for your phone can locate vanished villages, etc.

There Is No Right Side in War Many of us have called wars like those on Iraq and Afghanistan by the name "wars" or sometimes the name "occupation," but the current war on Gaza by the name "genocide." They've all been extremely one-sided slaughters of mostly civilians thus far the latest violence in Gaza the least one-sided of those three.

A Restoration of Armistice Day, and a History of the Only Two World Wars We Can Survive The moment of ending the Great War was supposed to end all war, and it kicked off a world-wide celebration of joy and of the restoration of some semblance of sanity. It became a time of silence, of bell ringing, of remembering, and of dedicating oneself to actually ending all war.
