  • Ex-Muslims demand an end to war, occupation, rape and terrorism

    In the run-up to the one-year anniversary of the Israeli government’s brutal and unrelenting war on Gaza and the West Bank since 7 October 2023, we the undersigned ex-Muslims, are filled with rage and heartbreak at the ongoing genocide against Palestinian civilians. So far, the war has killed and wounded hundreds of thousands, destroyed hospitals,…

    Azar Majedi and Homa Arjomand’s Islamist Propaganda and Morality

    By Maryam Namazie Azar Majedi and Homa Arjomand’s recent criticisms of feminists, secularists and ex-Muslims under the guise of defending the Palestinian people are worrying given their use of Islamist and pro-Islamist Left propaganda. Their statement ‘Genocide in Gaza: Where does the Women’s Rights Movement stand?’ rightly condemns genocide but has not one word condemning…

  • With the People of Israel and Palestine Against the War of Terrorists!

    Since 8 July, the Israeli military has killed nearly 1,400 Palestinians, a majority of whom have been civilians. It has wounded 8000 people. 3 Israeli civilians have been killed along with 56 Israeli soldiers during this time.

But if they are killed…

  • By all means, take a stand

    On Sunday, whilst I was at the cinema with my seven year old, 9 children were killed by the Israeli government’s relentless attacks on Gaza; 90 Palestinians and three Israelis have been killed since Wednesday. The thought of one child dead – one just like mine – leaves me insane with rage. And whilst human beings…

  • We love you too!

    You know the people to people solidarity I keep harping on when I’m asked what one can do to intevene? I always tell people to stop thinking they represent ‘their’ government and to think beyond the given box of ‘security’ and ‘stability’ and instead see that how their interests lie intrinsically with people in Iran…

  • It’s not rocket science: you can be against war on Iran and also the regime and its nuclear bomb!

    Sections of the far-Right in the Israeli government and US administration as well as some western states have started threatening war on Iran over the nuclear issue. The Islamic regime has in turn threatened back. War or any Israeli government military action will only benefit the most reactionary elements in the west and Israel on…
