Israel’s Aggression in the Middle East: The Urgent Need to Stop Supporting Zionist Expansionism

 The Middle East is once again engulfed in flames as Israel launched airstrikes against Iran on June 13, 2025, further destabilizing an already volatile region. This latest act of aggression is not an isolated incident but part of a long-standing pattern of Zionist expansionism, backed by Western powers, particularly the United States. For decades, Israel has justified its military campaigns under the guise of "self-defense," while simultaneously being the primary aggressor in the region. The time has come for the world to wake up and recognize the truth: Israel is not a victim but a perpetrator of violence, and its continued belligerence threatens global peace. This article will dismantle three key myths that sustain Western support for Israeli aggression: The False Narrative of Israel’s "Right to Defend Itself" The Dangerous Religious Myth of Jewish Exceptionalism The Geopolitical Strategy to Weaken the Middle East By the end of this piece, it will be clear that s...

Colonialism’s False Promise: Why Africa’s Future Lies in Self-Determination, Not Recolonization

The real question is not whether colonialism built infrastructure, but for whom it was built, and at what cost to African dignity, opportunity, and self-determination. This article dismantles the myth of “beneficial colonialism” and argues that Africa’s future lies not in nos...

The Substitution Crisis

The sun was mild as it was setting. Kochare bent low to tighten his shoelaces. The familiar ache in his muscles from two days of malaria was fading, replaced by the pleasant anticipation of a proper game. He breathed in deeply to relieve tension that often accompanied every player prior to a game. "About time you showed up, Coach!" Timo called out, bouncing the ball between his feet. "We were about to start without you."   Kochare grinned. Even though he wasn't officially their coach anymore, the nickname had stuck. "Malaria doesn't care about football schedules," he said, rolling his shoulders. "But I do.I know I am due for fine for missing match last Saturday, but I was helpless."   Bruce jogged up, his dark skin glistening with sweat. "Some opponents have just arrived. They want a friendly."   A murmur of excitement passed through their small group. With only seven of them so far, a proper friendly match would be intense. Koc...
