The Palestine Book Club meets again on Tuesday, September 23 at 6:30 PM at Pearl’s Books in Fayetteville (28 E Center St) to discuss The Book of Disappearance by Ibtisam Azem, longlisted for the International Booker Prize.   “What if all the Palestinians in Israel simply disappeared one day? What would happen next? How would Israelis react?” Discussion leader: Ted Swedenburg, Professor Emeritus, University of Arkansas (tsweden@uark.edu).   Pearl’s Books has kindly ordered several copies, and it is also available online (we encourage using Bookshop.org to support independent bookstores).

Jeffrey Sachs and Sybil Fares.  “How to Stop Israel Starving Gaza.”  Consortium News (September 6, 2025).

Israel, with U.S. complicity, is committing genocide in Gaza through the mass starvation of the population as well as direct mass murders and the physical destruction of Gaza’s infrastructure. 

Israel does the dirty work. The U.S. Government funds it and provides diplomatic cover through its U.N. veto. Palantir, through “Lavendar,” provides the AI for efficient mass murder. Microsoft, through Azure cloud services, and Google and Amazon, through the “Nimbus” initiative, supply core tech infrastructure for the Israeli army.

This marks 21st-century war crimes as an Israel-U.S. public-private partnership. Israel’s mass starvation of the people of Gaza has been confirmed by the United NationsAmnesty International, The Red Cross, Save the Children, and many others.  . . .

 

Even in the face of American intransigence, the world can act — and the U.S. government will stand naked and alone in its criminal complicity with Israel. Read here...
