The US vetoed yet another UN resolution calling for an urgent humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza, showcasing the flagrant double standard for the so-called “rules-based international order.” The West regularly deploys the use of international law when it serves their interests, as in the case of the International Criminal Court’s warrant for Russia’s President Putin, but has provided Israel with impunity in the face of blatant violations of international law. Vijay Prashad, the Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute, joins the show to discuss the hypocrisy of the US and the ICC and the stalling Ukraine war.
BreakThrough News is building the media arm of the movement. We tell the untold stories of resistance from poor and working-class communities — because out of these stories we will construct a different narrative of the world, as it is and in real time.
Think to yourself, is this article something that would be published anywhere other than BreakThrough?
Five mega-corporations dominate the media landscape — controlling 90% of what we read, watch and listen to. People’s movements in every corner of the globe are changing history and shifting consciousness. But these movements barely receive any coverage from the corporate media. They need visibility. They need amplification. They need a media arm to break through.
Working-class people deserve better, we deserve media for and by us. We are not funded by billionaires or corporations – we are funded by you. Without you, BreakThrough would not be possible, so become a member and build the media arm of the movement with us.
