Vol. V, No. 20 - October 31, 2023
Last 26 October, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” between the US-backed Israeli forces and the Palestinian armed resistance. The outcome of the said resolution was remarkable for demonstrating how even US imperialism’s closest allies such as France and Spain refused to vote against the motion initiated by Jordan. The 193 members of the UN adopted the said resolution with a vote of 120-14 with 45 abstentions showing how badly isolated the US and Israel have become amid the surge of support for the freedom of Palestine.

The recent Hamas-led armed resistance against the fascist occupying forces of Israel has largely been portrayed by the US and its allies as an ‘unprovoked attack against Israeli civilians’ – a portrayal that clearly benefits the US imperialist design of waging a genocidal war against Palestine and regaining strategic control of resources in the Middle East.

The decision of the Catholic church leadership thru its Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) to join the much-despised NTF-ELCAC (National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict) has drawn condemnation, confusion, and disillusionment not only from within the religious institution but also from many sections of Filipino society.

Old wine, new bottle: On Marcos Jr’s ‘Agrarian Emancipation Law’
- Published: 28 August 2023 28 August 2023
Volume V, Number 16 - August 31, 2023
Amid a crippling rice shortage and the continued lack of a genuine agrarian reform program, the Marcos administration enacted its ‘New Agrarian Emancipation Act’ (NAEA). Hailed as the regime’s landmark agrarian reform legislation, the NAEA creates an illusion of replacing the failed Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). In reality, the NAEA merely continues CARP’s flawed policies including the failure to enact free land distribution. The only consolation offered by the new law is its promise to write off farmers’ debts – a long-standing demand of the peasant class that should have been implemented decades ago likening the NAEA to ‘old wine in a new bottle.’
