Aysenur Ezgi Eygi | Mr. Fish

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — I know you. I met you in the dense canopies in the war in El Salvador. It was there that I first heard the single, high-pitched crack of the sniper bullet. Distinct. Ominous. A sound that spreads terror. Army units I traveled with, enraged by the lethal accuracy of rebel snipers, set up heavy .50 caliber machine guns

Chris Hedges : La crucifixion de Julian Assange

Les tribunaux britanniques ont retardé pendant cinq ans le procès-spectacle de Julian Assange. Il continue de se voir refuser une procédure régulière alors que sa santé physique et mentale se détériore. C'est le point.

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — Prosecutors representing the United States, whether by design or incompetence, refused — in the two-day hearing I attended in London in February — to provide guarantees that Julian Assange would be afforded First Amendment rights and would be spared the death penalty if extradited to the U.S. The inability to give

Chris Hedges : le cheval de Troie d'Israël

La « jetée temporaire » en construction sur la côte méditerranéenne de Gaza n’est pas là pour atténuer la famine mais pour rassembler les Palestiniens sur des navires et les conduire en exil permanent.

Eve of Destruction – by Mr. Fish Feature photo

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — Israel is not attacking hospitals in Gaza because they are “Hamas command centers.” Israel is systematically and deliberately destroying Gaza’s medical infrastructure as part of a scorched earth campaign to make Gaza uninhabitable and escalate a humanitarian crisis.

Children of Gaza – by Mr. Fish

Dear child, It is past midnight. I am flying at hundreds of miles an hour in the darkness, thousands of feet over the Atlantic Ocean. I am traveling to Egypt. I will go to the border of Gaza at Rafah. I go because of you. You have never been in a plane. You have never left Gaza. You know only the densely packed streets and alleys. The concrete

A Bird in the Hand – by Mr. Fish Feature photo

Washington DC — (Scheerpost) — During the siege in Sarajevo, when I was reporting for The New York Times, we never endured the level of saturation bombing and near total blockage of food, water, fuel and medicine that Israel has imposed on Gaza. We never endured hundreds of dead and wounded a day. We never endured the complicity of the
