By Iqbal Jassat Does the assault and detention of CNN’s crew by the Zionist military, make the story credible because it emanates from victims who were “White” journalists? Now that the violent abuse of CNN […]
By Iqbal Jassat The revulsion against Israel in solidarity with Palestine’s freedom struggle and the anger against their leadership’s complicity with Zionism, will fill the streets of Arab capitals if allowed to protest. On Sunday, […]
By Iqbal Jassat What is clear is that Netanyahu has landed Trump in a quagmire. A dangerous place indeed: like the muddy shoreline of a pond, will Trump be able to climb out? The ‘Shock […]
By Iqbal Jassat These sponsored trips are a long-standing point of debate in journalism ethics globally and in SA, amid ICJ genocide proceedings and Gaza coverage. The controversy surrounding non-disclosures by South African journalists who […]
By Iqbal Jassat Now that Helen Zille has found her voice to denigrate South Africa’s stance against Israel and America’s illegitimate war on Iran, let’s be reminded about her hypocrisy regarding the Gaza genocide. During […]
By Iqbal Jassat This episode is not an isolated diplomatic spat. It reflects a broader pattern in which Western powers attempt to discipline states that refuse to conform to their strategic agenda. Washington’s envoy in […]
By Iqbal Jassat Failure to act against the US-Israeli axis of terror is to allow a global order dictated and ruled by merciless bullying and force. In its latest statement, the South African government has […]
By Iqbal Jassat Contrary to expectations that the Supreme Leader’s death might trigger immediate paralysis, the government of Iran remains firmly in control. Bombing Iran with the most lethal weapons of mass destruction, America and […]
By Iqbal Jassat What Munich revealed was not Western confidence. It revealed panic. A recognition that the balance of power has shifted. At the Munich Security Conference on February 14, 2026, US Secretary of State […]
By Iqbal Jassat The media chose to amplify a narrative that falsely conflates Jewish identity with Zionism. To view this as an accidental error is to give credence to a core strategy of the pro-Israel […]
By Iqbal Jassat The absurdity of opposing a sovereign government’s integrity and independence is not a diplomatic posture. It is provocative and insulting. No self-respecting South African should accept it. South Africa’s groundbreaking move to […]
By Iqbal Jassat The South Africa message is clear. Moral outrage is acceptable so long as it does not interrupt revenue streams. For many, including trade unions and progressive forces, until a halt is placed […]
By Iqbal Jassat In stark contrast to the Islamic Republic of Iran—whose institutions, despite immense external pressure, remain intact—it is Israel that has emerged as the true agent of regional chaos. “The state is being […]
By Iqbal Jassat Bahrain jails activist Ebrahim Sharif for criticizing Israel, highlighting repression of pro-Palestine voices, criminalization of dissent, and the regime’s alignment with Israel. Bahrain, one of the Arab world’s most despotic regimes, has […]
By Iqbal Jassat Much to his dismay, when the war criminal Netanyahu had hoped that the billions invested in “improving” Israel’s public image would shield him and the settler colonial regime from adverse publicity, a […]
By Iqbal Jassat To ignore or be silent on Trump’s bigoted ban is to weaponize America’s immigration laws against people unfairly targeted as “garbage”. In yet another shocking display of irrational abuse of his power, […]
By Iqbal Jassat It is a bitter pill for defenders of Israel to swallow when persons of integrity such as Pandor demand adherence to international law. In her “Open Letter to Naledi Pandor,” published in […]
By Iqbal Jassat By not charging South African mercenaries in the courts, along with their funders and recruiters, the criminal justice system will continue facing accusations of hypocrisy and double standards. At the core of […]
By Iqbal Jassat To punish Pandor, thus, makes absolute sense for the genocidal regime. The question we, therefore, need to ask is who is next? A series of articles against former International Relations Minister, Naledi […]
By Iqbal Jassat The warning issued by Baroud may not be ignored: “The Israeli government is fighting with every resource at its disposal to dominate the information war”. In his eloquent words, Ramzy Baroud, the […]
By Iqbal Jassat The recent ICJ ruling has stated that Israel must allow the entry of urgently needed humanitarian aid into Gaza and relief work provided by the UN agencies, including UNRWA, facilitated. Mass transfers […]
By Iqbal Jassat Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, is claiming victory in Gaza despite all evidence that he has been defeated: he failed to meet a single goal he had set to defeat Gaza in […]
By Iqbal Jassat With millions of dollars, Israel is using hasbara agents to whitewash its tattered reputation – but the world has no time for Israeli propaganda. It is not an exaggeration to state that […]
By Iqbal Jassat South African enabler, financiers and deniers of the Israeli genocide in Gaza must be held to account by both the State and civil society. Does failure to act to halt the Zionist […]
By Iqbal Jassat British treachery has, once again, raised its ugly head in the form of Tony Blair, who has devised a devious plot “GITA” to dispossess and disempower Palestinians. From Balfour to Blair, British […]
By Iqbal Jassat US President Donald Trump’s compromised weakness has rendered America utterly impotent and subservient to Israel. On the Zionist regime’s terrorist attack on Qatar, American journalist Max Blumenthal makes absolute sense with his […]
By Iqbal Jassat The Zionist regime is “kapoots” as its heavily funded PR campaigns are shredded by disaster following disaster, unable to censor images of starving children saturating TV screens across the world. If there […]
By Iqbal Jassat Now that the Zionist regime has left no doubt that it glorifies mass starvation and ethnic cleansing of Gaza’s entire population, the time to dismantle the machinery of death and state terrorism […]
By Iqbal Jassat The question posed by Abu Sitta is how individuals and nations will respond, knowing what is happening and understanding the consequences of inaction. Palestine’s foremost historian, Salman Abu Sitta, renowned for his […]
By Iqbal Jassat We are reminded by media coverage, despite Israel’s military embargo and denial of journalists’ entry to Gaza, that masses of the population are trapped in the confines of the Strip. While the […]
A recent New York Times made many claims about the ‘mass rape’ of Israeli women on October 7.
