Monday, October 20, 2025 at 9:23 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Trump was all over TV touting the cease-fire he brokered between Hamas and Israel as “peace in the Middle East.” But less than a week later, his deal is collapsing in blood, hypocrisy, and self-promotion. iPINIONS exposes the war profiteers posing as peacemakers, and the media cheering them on.

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Israel bombed yet another hospital in Gaza, killing civilians and making Orwellian mockery of “Never Again.” From famine to settler pogroms, Netanyahu’s genocidal war has stripped Israel of moral authority. iPINIONS lays bare the dark inversion of values once claimed as sacred.

Monday, October 7, 2024 at 5:59 PM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Israelis held somber ceremonies Monday to mark a year since the deadliest attack in the country’s history, a Hamas-led raid that shattered its sense of security and has since spiraled into wars on two fronts with no end in sight. Hamas marked the anniversary of its Oct. 7, 2023, attack by firing a barrage of… Read more.

South Africa Accuses Israel of Genocide at ICJ

Written by Anthony L. Hall

The accusation of genocide is credible Israel appears guilty as accused. The US is Israel’s most committed defender in the international community. Yet, even President Biden has warned Israel that it is losing international support because of its indiscriminate bombing of Gaza.  But nothing betrays Israel’s genocidal intent quite like Israeli government ministers threatening to drop a nuclear bomb on Gaza. Furthermore, discussions about resettling displaced… Read more.

Iran Blames Israel for ISIS Attack

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Blames Israel to avoid ISIS Iran is notorious for using proxies like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis to do its dirty work. It was so humiliated during the Iran-Iraq War (1980-1988) that it has cowered from confrontation ever since. Only that explains this:  ISIS has claimed responsibility for the deadliest attack in Iran since its 1979 Islamic Revolution, which has shaken… Read more.

Negotiating with Hamas sets dangerous precedent Hamas has finally released an American hostage.  President Biden on Sunday hailed the release of Avigail Idan, who turned 4 years old during her seven weeks in Hamas captivity and was the first American citizen to be freed by the group.  The president vowed to keep working to secure freedom for… Read more.

‘Axis of Resistance’ – of Human Shields and Cannon Fodder

Monday, October 30, 2023 at 6:10 AM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

Axis of Resistance summit On Thursday, Russia hosted the “Axis of Resistance” summit in Moscow. Leaders representing Russia, Iran, and Hamas convened under the aegis of resistance. But the irony hung thicker than the polluted air in a Tehran traffic jam.  This naturally provokes the question: Resistance against what? Decency? International law? Frankly, its members have committed… Read more.

US Asks Israel to Delay Gaza Invasion, Citing Hamas Hostages

Monday, October 23, 2023 at 8:13 PM
Written by Anthony L. Hall

US asks Israel to delay invasion An apparent conflict is brewing between the US and Israel over the timing of Israel’s much-hyped plan for a complete siege of Gaza. The dynamic between them is beginning to resemble the spectacle between MAGA and moderate Republicans over the election of a new House Speaker. The Biden administration has advised Israel to delay a… Read more.

Gaza: Israel vs. Hamas with Biden in the Crosshairs

Written by Anthony L. Hall

Hamas attacks, Israel retaliates Welcome to the Middle East, Mr. President. Here, peace is elusive, and tragedy is ever-present. That backdrop set the stage for the attack Hamas perpetrated against Israel on October 7.  Israelis decry it as the worst massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. And it ignited yet another cycle of violence – with Israel vowing retaliation to eradicate… Read more.
