Armenian Christians living in the Old City in occupied East Jerusalem are facing pressure from an Israeli real estate company and Israeli settlers who want to take over a piece of the Armenian Quarter, which dates back to the 4th century. I interviewed Kegham Balian on the battle the ancient community is facing. Kegham is a writer, ceramicist, and media representative for Save the ArQ.

My life has changed pretty dramatically since I started working full-time as the News Editor of Antiwar.com back in 2020. I started out in a studio apartment in Brooklyn and now live in an old farmhouse in rural Virginia (far from Washington DC).

The way I look at the world has also changed quite a bit since my wife Alison and I had our two boys, Dave and Tim (literally the coolest kids ever). The future has never mattered more to me. I have also rediscovered my Catholic faith, which fits well with being a professional opponent of war.

One thing that has remained consistent is the news. It doesn’t stop. For obvious reasons, my job has become much more difficult and time-consuming over these past few years amid the raging proxy war in Ukraine and now the US-backed Israeli slaughter of Palestinians in Gaza.

Dear Antiwar.com Readers,

As the U.S. continues to escalate its role in the Ukraine war and is increasingly preparing for a fight with China in the Asia Pacific, antiwar and non-interventionist voices are needed now more than ever. Antiwar.com serves as a hub for those voices from all parts of the political spectrum. We need your support to keep this project going.

The warmongers are in charge in Washington DC: the US rejected the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine ahead of the Ukrainian counteroffensive that is playing out now. If you read Antiwar.com, you knew that in the lead-up to the counteroffensive, the US did not think the Ukrainians could regain much territory. We pointed this out with the leaks from Discord and media reports at the time.

Despite the reality on the ground, the Biden administration pushed for the counteroffensive anyway. Now it’s clear the assault is failing, and that an untold number of Ukrainians are losing their limbs or even lives. The US has also sought to remedy Ukraine’s ammunition shortages by sending widely banned cluster bombs, which leave behind small unexploded submunitions that will kill and maim Ukrainian civilians for decades to come.

Watch part one of Patrick Macfarlane’s docuseries “The Truth About Oppenheimer,” which covers how Manhattan Project scientists secretly injected American citizens with lethal doses of plutonium.

Description:

Christopher Nolan’s new film Oppenheimer appears to humanize J. Robert Oppenheimer as an eclectic genius who was haunted by the profound consequences of the weapon he created.

However, another story lurks beneath Oppenheimer. A secret story. One that saw Manhattan Project scientists conducting clandestine medical experiments on unwitting and innocent American citizens.

The true story is that, while the United States led the prosecution of Nazi war criminals, Manhattan Project scientists secretly injected American citizens with lethal doses of plutonium without the subjects’ knowledge or consent.

If the Manhattan Project was meant to protect America, why would its scientists be injecting American civilians with radioactive material?

Christopher Nolan describes “Oppenheimer” as “a horror film,” stating that the film will leave viewer contemplating dark and unsettling questions. The information in “The Truth About Oppenheimer” will leave you disgusted.

Add your name to this petition organized by Just Foreign Policy to call on Congress to block the transfer of dangerous cluster bombs to Ukraine that will maim and kill civilians for decades.

Thanks to a group of our generous donors, you can now double your impact when you give to Antiwar.com. We have secured up to $31,000 in matching funds, but we need to match that number in individual donations to secure the money, and that’s where you come in.

When I first started working full-time for Antiwar.com back in 2020, I could not imagine that in just a few short years, the U.S. would be funding a proxy war on Russia’s border to the tune of tens of billions of dollars.

I could not imagine that there would be so much loose talk about the potential use of nuclear weapons and that opposing nuclear brinkmanship would become an unpopular opinion to have in mainstream discourse. Yet here we are.

The few voices in the West calling for peace talks and de-escalation are being smeared as pro-Putin, and the powers that be want to erase all relevant history that precedes February 24, 2022. But at Antiwar.com, we’re dedicated to providing you with news and viewpoints about the current conflict with all of the crucial context and history they want to be forgotten.

To get our message to more people, I recently started a daily podcast to cover the many news stories I write for Antiwar.com. The idea was to bring our content to people that don’t have the time to read our page every day, and it has been a success. I’ve received feedback from many listeners who have never even heard of Antiwar.com before they found the show.

None of my work could be possible without Antiwar.com and the readers who fund the site. For this fundraiser, we’ve received incredible endorsements from Noam Chomsky, Douglas Macgregor, and John Mearsheimer, and more are on the way. Seeing such important voices willing to help us out has reaffirmed to me what a vital project Antiwar.com is, and I’m honored to be a part of it.

Join us in promoting peace and non-intervention in these volatile times and make a tax-deductible donation to Antiwar.com. Give today, and every dollar will be matched!

Yours in Peace,
Dave DeCamp
